Comments for The Cosmic Way Show-er http://www.cosmicwayshower.com A Spiritual Diary from a Follower of the Way Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:12:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 Comment on A FORK IN THE ROAD by Andy Hines http://www.cosmicwayshower.com/?p=159&cpage=1#comment-13 Andy Hines Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:12:43 +0000 http://www.cosmicwayshower.com/?p=159#comment-13 In the last year I've seen some significant changes my life. The corporate grind keeps trying to gind me into powder. The more I give (out of good intentions I might add) the more they take and demand. It's a never ending cycle. Certainly I have to work, but do i have to work THE way i do? I don't think so. Once President O'bama was elected, it occurred to me the responsiblity for the entire free world was no longer on my shoulders. With that burden lifted I made some choices about the "path" I was on. The day after the election I stopped watching the news. I stopped listening to talk radio. I stopped reading the news paper. I stopped watching junk TV. I read the book "Blue Like Jazz" and found a guy that thinks like I do, wierd as it is at times! I am pursuing a new path. One I've never been on at all, and one I know little or nothing about. I don't know where it's going, but I do know that as I start walking this new path, and I start seeing things I hadn't seen before, I find I need to get rid of things I've done all my life because they are adding nothing to my journey but are in fact making it more difficult. i look forward to your journal. Perhaps our paths will cross .... In the last year I’ve seen some significant changes my life. The corporate grind keeps trying to gind me into powder.

]]> Comment on LESSONS from the Sacred Sites of the Dalai Lamas by Kunzang Monlam http://www.cosmicwayshower.com/?p=51&cpage=1#comment-9 Kunzang Monlam Sat, 14 Feb 2009 12:53:30 +0000 http://www.cosmicwayshower.com/?p=51#comment-9 I very much enjoyed the review. However, the last para left me hanging a bit, ahen the reviewer comments that he was saddeded to see that people felt that they should leave the teachings of Christ to find god. Historically, all white Christians left their earlier faiths, either by will or by force, in order to become Christian. Does the reviewer lament that this transformation occurred in history? Would he prefer that Greeks remain worshipping Zeus, Italians Apollo, and so forth? The fact of the matter is that the world is in a constant state of transition, as are human societies. A particular faith and spiritual practice might be appropriate in a particular time and place, but might become inadequate in another time and place. An example is the headhunter tradition of the Amazonian jungles. Like Christianity or Buddhism, it has its its charms and strong points. There is nothink like cutting of an enemies' head, shrinking it, and hangiung it from the roof of one's hut, to give a young man a strong sense of authentic living. However, some headhunters today will choose or be forced to leave this sublime faith of their forefathers, and seek a different approach to spiritual life. I very much enjoyed the review.
