Perhaps this is a good definition for *all* suffering -- even the suffering of our "stories." The pain involved in running them would be Nature's way of telling us we are entering a denser medium, in this case that of the concrete mind (the believer in spacetime, self/other) -- one contrary to our evolution at this moment, which would perhaps be into identifying with our pre-existent "Buddha- nature" of eternal intuition. This would *not* however appear to be the same phenomenon as the Great Immensity ("Brahman") contracting into a point-source of utter bliss ("Krishna"), where there seems to be no suffering whatsoever...:-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
