this group and it seems as though I came at a bad moment, more like Zen
soap opera, hope that changes.. although I must adnit a dull
fascination. Sort of like picking up the Enquirer on the subway when no
ones around and reading about a stranger persons feud with another rich
and famous person. Here I'd substitute spiritual and spiritualer.. I was
thinking while reading these posts of how peaceful meditation can be in
some people, or all of us sometimes? and yet can also have strange
rebound effects of creating angst while in the very search for peace..
In Bali where I spent some time, a very peaceful culture exists where
anger is taboo.. and as we haven't yet? evolved from our self
destructive impulses .. the anger seeps out in all sorts of unusual ways
there. Animal abuse, driving lunacy, selective cultural sadism and
masochism etc. Ergo, here on the list, a list of Zen where I'd imagine
it to be peaceful and harmonic and at one with the serenity of the
universe etc. I find spitefilled bickering. How interesting.. alway yin
and yang appears even though I believe in vast complexities of grays
often..
may the force be with us, dvnyc
