I never know what to do/say when someone makes a statement like yours-it's akin to "Maharishi said..." The parent who murders their child-are they not also my Self? The soldiers we are reading about who rape and murder innocent women and children, are they not also my Self? I have no idea if they are or not, they certainly don't seem to be *little self* me. As to the supposed *big Self* me, so what if we are the same at that level? It's very poetic buy why does that make things right? SO whst? ------------------------ Yahoo!
