iranitea, I agree. Here's an interview with Tara Bennett-Goleman and Daniel Goleman on that topic of freeing the mind that I received today: http://www.dailygood.org/story/564/how-the-mind-can-heal-the-heart-jill-suttie/

I think becoming totally free of the prison of ignorance can take lifetimes and I'm not yet completely free of that prison. Thanks Share, but that's not how I had meant it. There are different prisons, or should I say cages, and it's quite possible to free yourself from some dependency, mental or otherwise, some limiting mental constructs, or influences before ultimate realization. And maybe the most dire prison of all is thinking we are free when we're not. Anyway, happy nine nights of Mother Divine. Blessings of Mother Divine on you always. The next three days, blessings of MahaDurga. Oh, good you told me. I spent my time doing some photoshopping an image for facebook Be kind to warrior women! Those of the right kind. ________________________________ From: iranitea <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 4, 2013 11:48 AM Subject: RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Re: FBI arrests Silk Road suspect Oh thanks Share. I like to be corrected, if it's not used as an opportunity for a put down, as it has been happening so often. Share, I really liked your comment about the PR anniversary. I like that you don't give in to all the collective pressure, of some of the group members here, that you are in fact NOT back peddling. I like you to know, that I am completely with you on this issue. PR is a strong word, but I do think that it was needed, and can well be understood. Don't give in to some wrong understood political correctness, which is basically the argument of your opponents. You are the one who clearly felt and perceived the kind of unwanted intrusion, and it is you who have to draw the red line. All the bad mouthing of your character is rubbish, you have not been the intruder in this regard. You had to deal here with a master manipulator - and you were able to see through this, and free yourself from that influence. Sometimes you have to step out of a prison, to realize you have been in a prison. There are prisons of mental concepts and conditionings. To free oneself from these may sometimes take years or decades. It doesn't matter how long you were exposed to these concepts, they may still take roots in you - obviously many have a hard time to get rid of this. Consider yourself lucky! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: iranitea, usually people say back peddling, like on a bicycle. But I like back paddling too. Like in a boat. I also could go for, on a rainy day, back puddling, that is, jumping backwards into a puddle (-: ________________________________ From: iranitea <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 4, 2013 11:14 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Re: FBI arrests Silk Road suspect ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Iranitea, now truly desperate to score a point: > But have you ever considered, that you don't know anything about what you are > talking >>> about? >> >> >>You mean, as to whether Barry knows about the Dark Web?
