what you say above is very different from what you said below: > > > > > I took this to mean that both love and hate exist in the world at large > > > (excluding for a moment one's inner world, My response was to that statement. of course one sees things all day everyday. however, it is we who give what we see/experience meaning. it has none on it's own. In your statement, you said that love and hate exist in the world at large apart from within oursleves. that is what i didsagree with. they both come form within us. And yes, I do believe that we each affect everyone else. Nothing happens is in a vacumn. How we are within affects all others eventually. > > > > > love and hate do not exist in the world at large. they exist within us. -- bw colin DAK,BRO GC, 950i, 940,860,864,890, 260,Silver 830,860, 580 and 270, Passap 6000, Duo80,Creation 6 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tantra-apso.com
