Earth, fire, water, air, and space are matter in its solid,
metabolic, liquid, gaseous, and quantum mechanical forms.

Since the Unified Field is the ground state of everything
and since the Spirit is also the ground state of everything,
the Spirit and Unified Field are One.

The Unified Field is the consciousness of Nature.

DK, you have access to the "energy of the Universe" within you. It may be as simple as you're just "thinking" you don't.

It's also possible that the physical vehicle (body) you're in needs some attention. Proper diet, exercise, etc.

Namaste.

Along similar lines, I found this in an excerpt from Cave In The Snow. I think these words originally came from the Tibetan poet Milarepa:

Accustomed long to meditating on the whispered chosen truths.
I have forgot all that is said in written and in printed books.
Accustomed long to application of each new experience
to my own spiritual growth,
I have forgot all creeds and dogmas.
Accustomed long to know the meaning of the wordless,
I have forgot the way to trace the roots of verbs, and
source of words and phrases.

Just got one of my favourite books back after it was on loan for several months -

"Once when Allen Ginsberg was in Colorado to do a one month solitary meditation retreat, he told his lama, Trungpa Rinpoche, that he was going to bring little notepads that he would keep by his meditation cushion so that he could write down the beautiful haiku that would flash into his mind after many hours of meditation. The lama said, 'Can I see your pads and pens?" When Ginsberg displayed the tools of his literary trade, the lama snatched them away, saying that the reason to go on retreat and meditate is to stop collecting and holding onto all those transient little thought bubbles. He exhorted Ginsberg simply to be aware of the ongoing process of transparent awareness itslef, rather than getting caught up in collecting the flotsam and jetsam of the mind and continuously rearranging its contents in the display cases of artistic ambition.

Ginsberg loved to tell this story because he was still - like all of us - so attached to those beautiful thought bubbles. ... Of course we love poetry and we love everything that is sparkling, original and fresh. Still, all that is stale when compared to simply experiencing the absolutely startling, poetic freshness of the present moment without having to write down, collect, preserve or fabricate anything. Then every moment bespeaks truth."

Awakening The Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das

Thanks Katt! That was a deep and touching quote which I needed to hear.

I have thoroughly enjoyed a number of books written by Deepak Chopra and I am especially interested in joining the Global Network for Spiritual Success. Any information that could be passed on to me via my email address would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hermes - sorry, Deepak doesn't participate here, and won't see your e-mail. You might want to check out the web site http://www.howtoknowgod.com/. There is a place there to ask him questions. Not sure how long it takes for a response.

Good luck, Kereyra...

I deeply respect and guard Dr. Chopra's work as a most helping detour for mankind.

blastoleusnicated???...going to get a dictionary, be back later!

To Dr. Deepak Chopra I refer to my earlier e-mails. I need some help and some recommendations for reading which would be helpful in the context of the problem. Many tks. Kind regards, Hermes

Thank you for the most striking, bright, electric, blastoleusnicated, boss, bliss bunny!!!

Namaste'

i sure do, Dolores, the accent goes well with your gracious nature. you must have been a southern belle in a past life, heh!

glad to hear that Atlanta is working out for you, i lived there for a short time. enjoyed the area, too. i got lost on peachtree rd? once tho, cause everywhere you go its peachtree something or other and i couldn't tell my peachtrees apart...

Hi KITTY & CAROL! I'm still around, still teaching, still enjoying Atlanta and most important still following the Buddhist path!

Last night I attended a talk by Thubten Chodron a Western Buddhist nun and writer. It was very refreshing. One thing that she suggested is that every morning we should set ourselves a goal: Do not harm anybody and try to help others as much as we can.

It's great to see y'all (do you detect my Southern accent?:))

Seeing as how we have had a couple of Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes lately, there is a site where you can read more of his work.

Enjoy.

You are right, Paula.

I feel anyone can do anything they want if they have the faith the size of a mustard seed.:)

Well, those of us who have cable TV can see CNN. I am not amongst their brethren. :)

Thanks for the tip about the transcript.

Dolores, great to see you!!

Geoff you can read the transcript later by goit to www.cnn.com and finding the transcripts for Larry King Live ;-) Come to think of it...do you get CNN over there? If so, maybe you can see it after all.

I haven't been here for a very long time but I must say, the posts are very refreshing. Thank you, everyone, for brightening my day. Namaste
