Hi my Justin

Exceedingly lovely to hear from you - I was just thinking the other day that you were one of the people I missed in this group. I actually went out and bought Autobiography of a Yogi after you mentioned it some time, previously. I still look forward to reading it yet!!!! I also saw The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and knew it was a classic, but didn't buy it.

I like to get books from the Library but the sad thing is you cant keep them.. the sadder thing is, I have no room for my books.

I'm reading: Seven Masters, One Path by John Selby
1) Patanjali
2) Lao-Tzu
3) Buddha
4) Jesus
5) Mohammed
6) Gurdjieff
7) Krishnamurti

I am up to the Jesus chapter, I read just before going to sleep. The book HAS helped me see meditation in a different way. I have trouble getting into good meditation.

Hi Isa
Awareness by Anthony Demello, you say? I ghave written it down and will check if my Library has it. I can order it and they can get it from another branch. Reading is a big wonderful thing to me! He he

Love & light to all friends
Lucy x
PS Jus - WHEN you go, please, please let us know about it??

Its great to hear from you too. and i miss all of you too.
That's awesome, tell me what you think of it when you do read it.
That sounds very interesting, i'll have to check it out because i too have trouble focusing on my meditations :).

Yess you all will be notified the day i buy the ticked lol. Oh and next year im moving to Canada, so from there it might be easier to follow my dreams once my family is out of the way. Does that sound bad?...oh well

peace and love
shalom ^_^
