She was not born when I first married and we had to wait many years to find each other. She came from a war torn country and appreciates a man that is not rude, violent or abusive. Naturally, I thought about my wife when I read the many good and wonderful things you have to say. Life is beautiful and it is people you and my wife that make it better.

"Tap into the unique gifts you have been given. You can do things no else can. We are put on this earth to make a difference." THAT is a very powerful truth, thank you!

Let us say that the feelings of anger and thoughts of anger came through you. If you labeled yourself ’spiritual’ then you might express thoughts similar to, “I should not be feeling this anger. I am spiritual, and anger should not be a part of me anymore”. You do not allow certain things to flow through you since you have a label. Therefore, don’t limit yourself by the image of yourself you hold. Who you really are is a being of potential, a state of beingness. Everything else is a conditioned state. The conditioned states is not who you actually are, that is why you are liberated to allow them. You find libertarian of self-image because that is the mind and trying to live according to an image in your mind. Being-ness is the only thing that exists and ever will exist. Everything else is identifying with an object. Fear, pain, and suffering are the misidentification of being-ness to an object outside of pure being-ness. You identify these objects with who you think you are in the ego of will to receive through self-interest, the body, everything in which effects you. Objects (ranging from thoughts, feelings, body, and anything else you can perceive) flow into our lives, show us things about ourselves, and then leave. Being-ness is on going, unchanging or effected, always present in every moment.
