I so appreciate the many posts Indira places here, so thought I'd give it a try. What do the rest of you think about these words of Richard Gere? Are they true? My understanding says, yes, for so long as I do not cause harm to others.
I try to follow The Clear and Simple Way and ask questions about everything I read or hear to find out if it is true for me. I ask myself what I can learn from the words that people write or say to me. I try to be receptive and not closed-off so that I may learn. I especially like the Guardian angel message about The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
And I see that I am, of course, inadequate as an evolving human being to live that rule every moment. And I come to a sense of peace about that. Because I am learning. I am evolving. I do not have to do it perfectly. And I must understand that whatever I do does come back to me. I do not live in a cave separate from all other people or the consequences of my actions. If I hurt someone, that hurt returns to me.
For me, the question is, can I be "man" enough to accept the consequences of my actions--without putting the blame on someone else? That is what I am learning here. The school is making me into someone I want to be, or a better way to say it, someone God wants me to be, instead of the ego making me into someone it wants me to be. I am as always, grateful to be here. Are you?

I am indeed grateful to be here, grateful for all of you with whom I share my journey as one of your classmates, grateful for the angels who teach through me, making me a 'teacher,' and grateful for the Teacher within that is being awakened to guide me. Grateful for the patience of the angels who wait for me to catch up to where they are, where they always are, awake in the present moment.
