Hope you're all enjoying yourselves ...
Has anyone heard of the author Mary Summer Rain - yes I know it seems like a "fake" name but it is genuine.
I have just started 2 read "Tao of Nature" and I am already impressed.
Not sure what "category" her beliefs might fall into but here is a little taste -
We all have these beautiful qualities that make us peerless in our own right. Yes, each one of us is peerless because nobody else is a precise replica of ourselves. Yet I see many who desperately try to replicate the characteristics and accomplishments of others and waste entire lifetimes striving to reach that unattainable goal. People tend to feel they're nobody unless others give them some type of acclaim or recognition. That's pure ego. That's thinking that greatness or self-worth is not achieved unless one's ego gets stroked and stroked again. That's ignoring the beauty within oneself - that natural and inherent beauty of the spirit - that is always there, always waiting to shine forth. To recognise this truth is to reap its benefits. We alone can tap into our greatness. No audience is required.
May post a little more but that is a fair guide.
Enjoy!
