Frederick: Normally you and I are espousing something with significant similarities. Here's where we vary, as an example. Adi Da suggests: YOU BECOME WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON (or give your attention to) If, for example, you spend a lot of time in bars watching football games, your life becomes a product of that time in bars watching football games. In contrast, if you spend your life in Calcutta slums looking after orphan street-children, your life becomes the outcome of such a process. If you spend your time in contemplation of the Divine, spiritual practice of whatever form, meditation, yoga, surrendering breath, attention, feeling, mind, body into the Divine, moment to moment, your life becomes the outcome of that process. In these sorts of ways, EVERYBODY creates their own life. HOWEVER, they don't live themselves, beat their own heart, give consciousness, feeling, breath, perceptual mind, conceptual mind and so on. But what one DOES with all that, and how it is used to create a particular life is a matter of how people use FREE ENERGY and FREE ATTENTION. In most people both free energy and free attention are somewhat or profoundly obstructed. That obstruction is called (apologies, Bill), THE EGO. Namaste! Jim Namaste
