                                        Preface:
  
    I comment on these little meditation tips and quotes as a Pagan, in the 
sense that Plato, Pythagoras, Socrates, Appolonius, Lao Tzu, Kung Fu Tze 
(Confucious), Shankara, Gautama and many many more were Pagans. 
    It is false to assume that all Pagans are worshippers of the immanent; 
history shows otherwise. The Hermetic teachings antedate Christianity and maybe 
Judaism in their roots. 
    Sometimes we need, I feel, to rediscover some of the ancient Pagan ways 
that are not only 'howling in the woods,' but are culture and sophistication 
and philosophy, a term coined by the Pagan, Pythagoras, that means 'the love of 
wisdom.'.
    So, some may feel these don't belong on a Pagan list, or one where most are 
Pagans. Respectfully, from what I wrote above, I disagree.
   
    "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He
     didn't trust me so much. "-- Mother Teresa
  
   From Bruce in the Pacific North West
  
 Robin:     If we cannot handle the word 'God,' then substitute 'Goddess,' 
'Buddha,' Krishna,' 'Infinite Being,' or whatever you wish.
 
     The universe supplies us with challenges. These are opportunities to 
discover just how powerful and loving, wise and knowing we are. 
 
    So, I think the Infinite does indeed trust us, because He/She/It/They 
know(s) us pretty well...

 The Meditation Tip of the Day - June 14, 2001
 --------------------------------------------
 Do not dwell on what is past and what is to come, but live in the world of 
the present.
 One has to always understand the "now" and perceive all the wonderful things.
 
 Tsai Chih
 
 Robin: Beware of making 'now' into a doctrine, forcing yourself dogmatically 
to struggle with the 'past' or the 'future.' 
 
    These concepts too are a part of 'Now.' 
 
    Your memories are with you 'now' and your projections into the 'future' 
are here and now as well.
 
     You don't have to 'try' to 'be here now.' You already are, and there's 
no place or time apart from the here and now. 
 
    We can relax...let go and enjoy the sweet and precious moment of eternity 
as it constantly changes form.
