I know how it goes. Sometimes the lack of others to celebrate with makes it harder for me to keep track of things.
That's a big part ... I have no one to celebrate with. The crowds at the temple are intimidating to me. Not that anyone has been unkind or unwelcoming, but I just don't feel like I fit in. I console myself with listening to bhajans and mantras, thinking of the gods, finding pics to look at. I think I'll make a point of playing Aigiri Nandini Mardini and Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteśu daily.

You know, I don't fit in no matter where I go. I just wish I could attend a temple. If I didn't fit, oh well.

Well, scratch the not fitting in. I attended a Buddhist group for awhile. I genuinely 'fit' there.

Nah, not until I grow up!

We can agree I'm not there yet. :)
You know, I should be blunt. I'm not exactly sure HOW enlightened, on the path, I am. But I've heard from reputable sources that it's more or less the realization that everything is actually one thing including you and me. We are goddess. What is is it exactly?

Figuring out what 'it' is is probably half of the fun.

You mean you didn't already volunteer to be the guinea pig as to what works and what give undesirable side effects yet? Just what were you doing eating the cake?
