Yes, this picture was taken in Vrindavan, India. If anyone is interested seeing what this sacred village looks like, go to TableOfContents and scroll down to part 3. Chapters 11 and 13 have dozens of pictures of Vrindavan. They are just as amazing. Other chapters have more pictures, but the...
Well, maybe it's just the way my small brain is wired. If the mural is way in back of him...hmm, I guess it is that small jagged wall that seems to do a 90 degree turn toward the sadhu that has me scratching my head. Why is is broken off like that? Is that a tapestry,then, of some kind. But look...
Below I have posted a picture that I have been given permission to use in a book that wrote. (www.cedarpost.com) The book is totally free. Anyhow, I have seen a lot of art in my day but this one leaves me wondering. In the background is a painting. A wall mural. OK-with a sage chanting japa in...
I think it is because death represents both a concept and reality all in one and however you slice it, death is going to be one hell of a ride. Even if you pay to ride a huge roller coaster, both faith and fear are right there as everyone waits for the cars to start moving. Death is kind of...
Thanks, and now to make things even more difficult, out-of-control fires are all over this part of Texas. Don't know how the trees and plants like the smoke but it isn't easy breathing it. Yesterday the winds was 30+ mph and it blew over someone's BBQ stand and a big fire resulted from that...
I apologize for the first attempt to post a decent picture of this tree. I will let the thermometer stand as is. I took both with my Android. Sorry, not on par with my Panosonic camera but I didn't have it with me. This has only been reduced from 3,000 something down to 896x536. Right, the...
The first picture: I took this picture at work today. This is near San Antonio, Texas. We have had only two small rain days ALL summer. But we have had nothing but triple digits.
Second Picture: This is the miracle, taken a 1/2 mile from the first photo.
This tree is growing on a...
That first Matrix movie blew me away. The first one. It was as if whoever made that movie DID UNDERSTAND what I was getting at. I have tinnitus. That means that I hear a unique, loud ring in my ears 24/7. From being around loud sounds too much (I built furniture. Lots of noise). Anyhow, I tune...
She's great. About two years ago I had the privilage of picking her up at the airport in San Antonio and driving her to Austin. So for two hours we talked. I was happy to help her out and get to know her.
I would also agree with that. At times I remember these dreams where I am doing the most intricate and advanced things. But then I wake up and it's just me, with so many limitations. But if I was so limited, how was I just able to weave an delicate fabric by hand. Where did that come from...
Hm...just read on the Net a bit about monism. No, I haven't really given it much thought but I do believe in one Supreme Being and I belive that this one God hold everything together, like pearls strung on a thread. Does that fit the definition of a monist?
I am thanking everyone for their input!
Having contemplated aspects of this question on and off since 1965, I am going to try to explain what I feel is the greatest illusion. One of the fellows I use to kick this around with went on to work with Steve Jobs on the very first Mac computer...
I believe in God and I also believe that life consist of many things, including a grand illusion. What do you see as this grand illusion? What is life's greatest illusion?
