Just got some intersting quotes from several sources this AM. Anyone want to 
comment??


        That people are unknowing does not mean that they are 
        unknowing like cows or goats. Even ignorant people look 
        for a pathway to reality. But, searching for it, they often 
        misunderstand what they encounter. They pursue names and 
        categories instead of going beyond that name to that which 
        is real.

                Digha Nikaya - Beliefnet (Buddhism)



   "May your soul be lighter with Happiness each day.
    May you breathe with Laughter and not forget to play.
    My your eyes be Opened to what's inside of you
    And may you see God's Miracles every day anew."

        "The ego's religious dogma hasn't helped. Suffering has been
  glorified. People have focused on the crucifixion more than the
  resurrection. But crucifixion without the resurrection is a meaningless
  symbol. Crucifixion is the energy pattern of fear, the manifestation of a
  closed heart. Resurrection is the reversal of that pattern, brought about
  by a shift in thought from fear to love.
       Look at the crucifixion, says A Course in Miracles, but do not dwell
  upon it. 'Blessed are those who have faith who cannot see,' says Jesus."

  The Meditation Tip of the Day - April 16, 2001
  ------------------------------------------------
  
  The natural world has its own law governing life and death.
  There is no need for a ruler to usurp nature's role and decide the 
        fate of the people.
  He who tries to usurp nature's role cannot avoid bringing injury to
        himself.

 " We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey 
that no one can take for us or spare us."
