"Autobiography of a Yogi"....by Paramansa Yogananda

Well, that´s a lovely book which I´ve read ages ago. In fact it was the first book which brought me in contact with Hindu wisdom, even when Yogananda is more the type of an universal wise man.

Without going into details of my family and what we do or belive in, heres where my son and I go everytime I visit Los Angeles...in fact it's just down the road from the "Malibu Inn" where Joe has played...I wouldnt be surprised if Rick and Carmine have been here

Re: Dont Sweat The Small Stuff!

Beautiful place, but I had to laugh when I read the description. The last line reads 20 miles from the Self Realization Temple in..............Hollywood. If ever there was a town that needed such a place. Hollywood and the Sunset Strip.............THE #1 boulevard of broken dreams. That last line sounds like an oxymoron.

That´s perfectly right. Think about Chögyam Trungpa ("Cutting through spiritual materialism")who was an achieved Buddhist master with a very strange personality. It means that spiritual and personal-emotional development seem to proceed in different ways and in different rhythms. The same is true for artists and musicians: their work might have a divine creativity even when their personality is rather modest. We are lucky that Joe seems to be not only a great artist but also a great human being.

Okay that means our whole solar system could be ...like one tiny atom in the finger nail of some other giant being! That means that one tiny atom in my finger nail could be one little tiny universe!!

WTF are you talking about?  That's some jump.  I guess it could be.  That's hardly what I was talking about, though.  I think you already know that.

Not surly! I was being a wise **** as usual! That is a scene from animal house. Most everything I post tongue is firmly planted in cheek!!
