See You on the Other Side, Wayne!

So Wayne Dyer passed on.

I have mixed feelings about that.

When I was 19 years old, I pulled his book YOUR ERRONEOUS ZONES out of a recycle bin. It was thrown there by a fundamentalist Christian who felt it was garbage.

Well, that book changed my life and got me unto a path towards better things. It opened 100 new doors for me. Always grateful for that.

Feel sadness the dude is gone, but he was a good man, chances are he got a good rebirth.

See you on the other side, Wayne!

I think only guys who had a pregnant wife will understand. :)

Reading

A fantastic 'life planning' book from a brilliant and a funny guy.

Shogun

The greatest historical adventure book of all time? Enjoying it a great deal after watching the mini-series many times.

You Can Say That Again

Sinking into Peace and Joy

Thanks to absorbing and practicing the Dhamma expositions by TB. I listen to 4 or 5 a day and I am finding wonderful results within myself and my life. The best living Dhamma teacher?

Formerly, I found him just a bit too 'cold and analytic'. Looking at it now, it seems those were just my negative karmic obstacles that I had to get through before having enough merit to be able to tap into this.

A Happy Opportunity

Pushing the Limits: Desire and Imagination in the Buddhist Path

A brilliant article by TB. Sheds light on some spiritual paradoxes and gently prods one in the right direction.

Everything, but...

"We sit in front of TV sets, we read the sacred tables of the baseball statistics, stock quotations, bank balances; we check the grades of children, loved ones, self; we measure salaries, complexions, grades, cars, penises, bosoms, square footage, frontage, savings, neighborhoods, nations - everything but vitality, which can't be measured and so is ignored."
