I heard it, remembered it and stubbornly kept doing what I do. Sound familiar? I’m determined to figure out which one is more painful: the truth, or, not knowing the truth. In both cases there’s so much pain we go through dealing with issues every day anyway. I now clearly understand “that pain” we go through is the greatest thing I owe this Universe. I’m starting to recognize it. Obviously, my desperation to find the answers was unbearable.<br /><br />I believe that, for what we know, life can be a dream without any guarantees for what’s real and what not. Oops, getting complicated again, gotta watch it! KISS !(Keep It Simple Stupid)... love this word, one of the best words in the English language. Why are we so complex? I’m convinced, the existence of all living things (humans, animals, plants) is based on their wants. I, personally, was stupidly devoted to my desires and was so miserable. On some level I still am. No matter what I had, it was never enough. I wanted fame, recognition, love of the world, happiness, fulfillment...etc. This is where the boundaries got crossed. Now, I realize that everything I did was out of desperation to please my ego.<br /><br />I’m on the road to meet and study with my mentor right now. I’ll be back to tell you more about my journey, soon!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22018117-114045706064518899?l=dianademar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Diana DeMarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11921472489573969792noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22018117.post-1140113319710194122006-02-16T10:06:00.000-08:002006-02-16T10:13:36.010-08:00Check out this interesting <a href="http://www.beliefnet.com/story/154/story_15474_1.html">interview of Deepak Chopra </a>by Lisa Schneider, on <a href="http://www.beliefnet.com/">Beliefnet.com</a>.<br /><br />"Awareness isn't something you achieve...it's what happens when you stop trying so hard."<br />------<i>Deepak Chopra</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22018117-114011331971019412?l=dianademar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Diana DeMarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11921472489573969792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22018117.post-1139450704794067302006-02-08T18:04:00.000-08:002006-02-09T10:08:58.740-08:00Welcome to my blog!
