Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 The Dali lama is my inspiration as a man who is literally a king, and behaves like a rapt student. He has great learning, and acts like an innocent. He seems like a child mostly, so has managed to find what Jesus talked about that we need to become like children. .................oh , i saw baba ram das once, they worshipped him like a god. Years later a friend met him and told me he(a former shrink) was undergoing psychoanalysis for problems relating to that. he needs to just adopt a normal life somewhere, and forget that nonsense. A truely loving mother would instead say, why couldnt it have been me!!!! It is that instinct that I am trying to present to people with my sculpture <Mother's Love"..............bigsculpture.org..........................................I did actually hear once, from a very sick woman, "Why couldnt it have been you?"...................I was flabergasted.............Carol Ann <saffireskyes@...> wrote: What comes to mind when you hear the words "self-centered"During the course of my own journeys, I've come across (and still do) individuals who believed themselves to be gurus, believing they have "arrived", entitled to tell others how to do the same thing. I always walk away laughing, thinking, man, you have many mountains and miles yet to travel.You're on to something . Not even the Dali Lama would have the audacity to claim such an "arrived" distinction.

It is our own self love that insulates us from the world. ....................if I really had any answers, I wouldnt still be looking,,,,,,,but sometimes I think that it is the search ittself that is important..to be always searching....to never "arrive"................enlightenment is not a place, it is a form of travel.
