Perhaps we are getting caught up in misunderstood definitions -- I merely mean to *identify* areas of pain in ourselves, feel them and heal them. Refusal to heal our own pain is a symptom and cause of surrendering to some addiction or other -- making that addiction -- that false belief and support-system -- more important than our own present-moment integrity, joy, freedom, and so on :-) > Is being judgmental a disease?

No, genuine physical immortality is not "physical existence" any longer, at least in the sense it is commonly understood. It would appear to be rather something along the lines of "physically" understanding all "physical" matter to be nothing other than love as a relationship between energy/bliss and consciousness. The formula for physical immortality would seem to be E = Mc(2) or laughter/bliss = love/coalesence x consciousness/light aware of itself :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
