We have these issues in common and your post is a
pretty deep consideration of life issues. I hope you will be comfortable while waiting for me and us to process these ideas, and that in future we in general may enjoy pleasant conversation. Earnestly and with emphasis, I believe there is still room for growth and learning inside and outside both your AND my philosophies/religions
(whatever we call them).

Will look this over some more.

I learned similar things in Yoga from
Patanjali and BE HERE NOW by Baba Ram Dass
and a few other books...
But I don't know if you know what is in
"Western" books of wisdom and thought.

Sincerely,

Mike
