Untitled
by Cherie Peterson As the silence of winter sets in with cold nights
under the sparkling snows,
a deep wonder grows in my heart. Even though there
is a temporary stillness
in nature and the animals slow to conserve their
strength, a light of clarity
grows deep within me. This clarity wants to surface,
but like the plants and
four-legged ones, it moves slowly, cautiously, not
to startle or stir too much,
too fast.
There is a breath of surrender to a greater knowing
that allows more peace
within. There is a grand sigh of relief with the
re-membering that there is
a season for all things.
This re-newed strength of belief and trust in the
Divine process assures
me that no matter how cold, how barren, how alone
life may seem, there
is the glorious Light and Love that abides in all
equally and in that Light
and Love is the power of the One Life.
In that Light, in that Love, in that Power, we are!

Look No Further
By Katarina Weherli Great changes are underway for humanity and the
entire planet. They carry tremendous potential for
spiritual growth. Simultaneously, they are also
disconcerting because of the massive environmental,
economic, political, and personal imbalances they
create.
The rapid changes that are currently taking place on
the planet impact on the psyche of modern people
through increased stress. Some of this stress is
caused by outdated modes of operation. Therefore it
is necessary to let go of past habits that do no
longer serve the present circumstances.
Throughout history spiritual impulses were mixed
with dogmatic principles, ideas of perfection, or
even guilt and punishment. Restrictive sets of
conduct have been passed on for many centuries. They
are subconscious and play out in ways that
perpetuate dysfunction. From birth they influence
every member of society in a chain reaction. These
collective patterns remain unrecognized, and often
continue to wield their destructive influences.
Modern belief systems are inundated with damaging
concepts. In thinking that there is a perfect way to
do and have things, genuine feelings became
distorted. Over time people have abandoned their
inner reality. Because it was expected, they learned
to suppress natural feelings. Compassion, caring,
and emotional connection lost out against judgment,
victimization, and blame. Such detrimental
behavioral patterns are often still imprinted in the
subconscious mind. At this point we need effective
prescriptions for reversing these redundant
psycho-spiritual programs.
Seeing life within natural rhythms and interrelated
patterns provides cognitive tools to recognize these
negative cultural conditions. Thus they can be
purged from the subconscious mind, and limiting
conduct, attitudes, and beliefs are changed from
within. This process rearranges the fundamental
structure of personal reality. Instead of looking
for direction from external authority figures,
alignment with inner truth can then point the way
toward natural evolution. As a result people are
empowered to draw spiritual strength from their own
soul. They can then attract appropriate conditions
and life experiences. Those who make this inner
shift become magnets for one another. Now the social
chain reaction is set in motion once more. Only this
time it is with constructive patterns that are
liberating and equitable to all.
Spiritual truth is dynamic; it cannot be contained
within one system everyone is supposed to follow.
Neither can faith be learned; it has to be
experienced. It is proof of the unseen. When
spirituality is rooted as inner knowing, no one
else’s belief can threaten it. We simply understand
truth through validation of our inner reality. What
is more, we also know that the other person is
sharing from this very same place. This cannot make
us feel insecure, because we value and follow this
same process of internal realization.
Rational thought, on the other hand, views and
processes everything by being apart from it. It
stays detached. Over many centuries this experience
of separation was augmented in all aspects of life.
Although rational thinking brought much progress in
many areas of life, it eventually crowded out the
inherent sense of wholeness, coherence, and
connectedness.
The point is that rational understanding and
deductive thinking were viewed as superior to
intuitive insight. People’s ability to trust their
own inner sense of what felt and seemed right was
lost. Instead people relied on knowledge through
what they logically inferred. Or else they valued
outer sources, such as what others said, or what
they had previously been taught.
What perpetuates existing values is a deeply rooted
need for security and consistency. There is nothing
wrong with this dynamic. It is built-in to human
behavior. As values become obsolete, however, they
prevent further growth. There is no security in
resisting change when it is necessary. Evolution is
the inherent pull and supplication of life toward
advancement. Sooner or later resistance will
surrender to change, otherwise cataclysmic events
ensure this continuation. The rug is pulled from
under the feet. Consequently, it is much wiser to
embrace change when life asks us to do so.
The door to intuition is the discovery of all that
already exists within our heart and soul. Seeing
life within natural rhythms and interrelated
patterns goes along with accepting all of our
components unconditionally. Forgiveness and
tolerance become the vehicles that transcend our own
and other people’s shortcomings.
While basing inner awareness in compassion, we make
deep and lasting changes. Then the rational part of
the mind can acknowledge feelings, emotions,
hunches, or premonitions as a precious internal
resource. We reach into the depths of our own
reality, and align with life as it naturally occurs.
We can open this door through awareness and
validation. This experience is a felt sense, rather
than a theoretical concept.
When we embrace these changes, we find the courage
to let go of the past and build a solid foundation
in the present moment. Self-empowered people take
responsibility for their own circumstances. They
agree to take charge of the realities they create
and experience. A journey into new forms of being is
initiated. It empowers people to experience growth
as the actualized process of their deepest life
intentions.
As mentioned in the beginning of this article,
spiritual interests are growing everywhere. What
matters in spiritualizing life is the effort, not
necessarily the outcome. Many people are making this
effort by associating with transcendent values. They
desire to evolve toward the Light and all that is
compassionate and benevolent. The search for a
simpler existence that includes an all-encompassing
natural spirituality is an honorable cause. It
serves to create a much-needed attitude of respect
for all life. While accepting that we are part of
something bigger, we collaborate with nature and
with spirit.

Feel Better!
by Donna Mitchell-Moniak Feeling lousy is no fun.
Cold, flu, hay fever during the season, or a bloated belly after a sumptuous meal, all can turn a lovely day into a yucky one. But we all know that these afflictions are transient and try to make the best of it. However, for people with chronic diseases such as
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Multiple
Sclerosis a positive attitude may help the emotions
and mind but not the body. We live in a wonderful
time when almost every type of medicine and healing
are available to us. What my healing journey has
reminded me is that each person is completely
unique, thus what helps each person heal is unique
too. You and I got into our state of dis-ease in a
particular way. Each person’s body has likes and
dislikes, preferences of habit and comfort. Even our
diets are not all the same, with some people liking
salt, others having a penchant for sugar. So it
stands to reason that honoring the uniqueness of our
body and the particular factors that contributed to
its dis-ease are essential to helping it heal.
I know a young man who six months ago was diagnosed
with MS. His condition is already quite bad.
Immediately, toxic pharmaceuticals were administered
to stem the alarming speed of his physical decline.
Yet his physicians never asked him what he did for a
livelihood or inquired about life experiences that
might have contributed to or created his disease.
This young man worked at a paper mill for years. The
long hours, heavy lifting, and obnoxiously loud
environment probably did not give him MS, but the
carcinogenic neurologically destructive 1000 gallon
vats of formaldehyde and bleach that he mixed on a
frequent basis, probably did. The chemicals that he
mixed without gloves, mask, or ventilation created
nerve gas. This young man is 30 years old. He can’t
see, can’t really walk, can’t lift anything, and
shakes uncontrollably without stop. Common sense
would suggest that his body needs to be detoxified,
needs to have the poisons released. Yet that is not
what his doctor suggested. Instead more toxic
chemicals are being administered intravenously.
This young man never heard of detoxification so he
does not realize that it can be a simple and easy
process. Many people have not heard of
detoxification, or if they have images of enemas and
wheatgrass juice come to mind.
Yet there are many simple healing practices that
were previously standard in this culture and still
are in many parts of the world that could help him.
Herbal remedies and tinctures, exercise that moves
vital force (chi/prana) through the body, and
visualizing one’s self as a healthy person, are just
a few. Of course, before pharmaceuticals all
remedies were made from plants, minerals, or
animals. The vast majority were botanical. And in
many countries around the world herbal or botanical
remedies are still the most widely used. Why? Plant
based medicine is closer to the earth, thus closer
to how the body works. It is actually hard to
produce or have a side effect from an herbal remedy
(unless the remedy is a tincture of a known poison).
However, side effects are standard and almost
expected from pharmaceuticals. The reason for this
is that modern medicine works against symptoms,
seeing them as cause for alarm. Nature based
medicine or more traditional medicine see symptoms
as the body trying very hard to get our attention
and to heal itself. An example we all are familiar
with is a fever due to the common cold or flu. The
fever is the body’s attempt to create an
inhospitable environment for bacteria or virus.
Neither fare well in a hot environment, so the body
in its wisdom produces a fever and wants to shut
down for a short period (a day or so) to put all its
efforts into fighting and getting rid of the germs.
Frequently we tend not to be so wise, as we work
through our illnesses and do not give our body rest
or time to heal.
Acupuncture is another ancient technique for helping
the body to heal. It has been used for over 3000
years. It is so effective that many cultures use it
and have perfected their own branch of this
practice. Yet the principles of acupuncture are the
same in all subpractices: harmony and dis-harmony. A
body that is in harmony and a person that is in
harmony with his life is a healthy body and person.
A body in dis-harmony will get sick, just as a
person in dis-harmony will be unhappy, angry,
depressed, or seek forms of escape.
Harmony is slightly different for different people.
For example, some people need very little meat in
their diet while others require it. For the
naturally born vegetarian to eat meat would bring
dis-harmony to the body. That is not what their body
wants. Equally for the meat eater to enforce
vegetarianism on their body would be unwise. One’s
philosophy or politics might try to override the
body’s natural and needed preference but physical
ill health will result.
Feeling better is not only everyone’s right, it is
part of our job! This begins with honoring the
uniqueness of our body, and its inherent ability to
be healthy. The body is probably the most amazing
result of creation next to the planet itself. Our
car or toaster breaks down under less strain than
our body. Learning about a few simple and common
sense practices can help us all be healthier and
happier.
Feel Better! is a 3-day retreat offered for people
with chronic diseases at Spirit Fire. For more

Tarot/The Fool
by Grace Cavanaugh We are about to embark on the journey through the
Tarot. The Tarot is an ancient divination tool of
uncertain origin dating back at least to the 15th
century. Although images on the Tarot cards are
predominately pagan in origin, the cards have been
used in connection with many philosophies and
spiritual teachings. Originally the cards were used
for entertainment and parlor games but eventually
they were valued for their philosophical,
psychological and magical insights as their
archetypical symbolism began to be understood.
Generally the cards are used as a tool for
understanding oneself as one lives one’s daily
existence with its joys and sorrows, its hurts and
crisis. The journey, however, whether about mundane
daily existence or about spiritual crisis is always
about the journey of the soul; the soul, as it
expresses itself in each incarnation through its
vehicle, the personality.
I have always wanted to make a serious study of the Tarot and this is the start of my attempts to divine its wisdom. 0 The Fool The Fool card (the Rider Tarot Deck) depicts a young
man apparently at the beginning of a journey. He
costume is brightly colored and he carries a small
satchel of belongings at the end of a pole perched
on his shoulder. His eyes are focused ahead and
upward as his foot nears the end of a cliff of which
he is apparently unaware. The sun shines brightly
and a dog is barking excitingly at his feet. In his
outstretched hand he holds a white rose. Despite the
positive and joyful aspects of this card, we notice
the terrain is rugged with mountains, cliffs and
boulders.
This card is frequently discussed in terms of a new
beginning, a new adventure or a major change in
direction in one’s life. We know life to be a
journey of many, many lifetimes and during our
sojourn we are intermittently faced with decisions
to alter the path we have begun. Initially, as young
souls, we are impulsive and rash as it takes a great
deal of experience to learn the lessons and become a
person of integrity.
As we move along we develop our strengths, have a
better understanding of who we are and begin to rely
on our own resources. Along the way we encounter
anger and suffering, mountains to climb and
difficulties to overcome. Growth only comes through
suffering; there is no other way. It is through
suffering that we learn the true meaning of life and
begin to let go of our clinging to attachments and
comforts. He carries a white rose symbolic of purity
of desire and clarity of mind, traits that will aid
him in his decisions. We note that in this depiction
of the Fool he has very little baggage. It would
appear that he let go of many of the glamours and
illusions of the young soul so that he can move
along unencumbered on his journey.
Perhaps as we see him here he is a more advanced
individual, joyful in the service of doing good in
the world. He looks ahead and upward for guidance
from soul. He is not alone; the three kingdoms of
nature are depicted in the rocks, the mountains and
vegetation, the dog. The sun shining brightly, is
symbolic the light of the soul guiding his way. Thus
the journey involves all of creation since every
thought, action and deed affects the whole. He
apparently has no fear because he is being led by
his inner master and has an innate sense that all
will be well.
There is an Uranian quality to this card. The Fool,
the inexperienced Uranian, is the radical, being
different for the sake of causing shock in others,
making a statement of his own individuality. With
maturity the Uranian energy becomes more inventive
and productive and the Fool makes his contribution
to the greater society. The advanced Uranian, the
evolved Fool, is a visionary intent on improving the
conditions of all of the kingdoms, fostering
liberation and freedom; ever concerned with greater,
unseen and universal whole.
The Tarot cards also have a meaning in terms of
numerology. We note that the card is numbered 0. In
numerology 0 is not seen as a number but in
mathematics it is a zero, a circle. The circle is a
symbol of immortality, the Wheel of Life. There is
no beginning and no end; we tread the path from
matter to spirit, lifetime after lifetime. The
circle is a symbol of our wholeness, our deep
perfection and divine nature. All of nature strives
towards the center of unity and oneness. We are
already enlightened, if we would but know it. Thus
we play The Fool in our ignorance and must,
therefore, continue to tread the wheel. The
journey, then, is the discovery of our true Self,
the center of our being, the universal wholeness of
all that is.
In a sense the Tarot is a projective tool; what we
see in the cards is a reflection of ourselves, our
insights and beliefs. Where are you in your journey
as the Fool? What lessons do you want to learn from
the Fool? Have you had experiences of being thought
of as a fool?

Who Am I?
by Sara Traub “Who am I?” is an inner reflective process. Before
reading the rest of this article, write a response
to this simple yet profound question. The list may
be long or short. After you’ve completed, then proceed.
The list may contain being a mother, father, a
waiter, a pilot or being artistic, loyal, sincere,
hard working, and kind but these are not who we are.
As we omit the ‘doing things’ from our list we come
closer to what our ‘being’ is. Everyone is so much
more than what we say we are or what we do. Deep
within is a sense of well-being, completion and
relation with goodness.
When we strip away the labels such as mother,
mathematician or volunteer, we are forced to look at
ourselves in a way that is not limited by what we
do. Instead we come into contact with who we are.
What made us have an interest in math in order to
become a mathematician? What made us want to be a
volunteer?
There is a difference between what we identify
with/as and what our true identity is.
For example, we might identify as a good skier, a
good cook, or a person with dyslexia. These labels
describe an ease or a challenge with something in
our life, but do not describe who ‘I am’. If we
identify with the chosen label we automatically
limit our identity by the category that we have
applied to ourselves. We begin to see ourselves from
the expectations and limitations of what we say
about our self and what others have said about us.
Yet in fact, none of these assumptions might be
true. Labels limit us. We do many things in one day
– from cooking to analysing our personal finances to
counselling a friend on the phone. The outer layers
of what we think we are need to be peeled away in
order to find what is inside. These include our
thoughts, projections, beliefs, expectations as well
as old programming or memories that replay inside us
over and over again. Equally, it is important to not
peel away our ideals, our passions and convictions;
the things that we are willing to argue about, stand
up for, or fight for.
As we peel away we come to a deeper understanding of
our selves, what brings us joy or causes anger, and
we begin to see the same depth in others and thus
understand them better as well.
Are we our thoughts?
Most people would immediately say ‘No! I am not my thoughts.’ That would be correct. We can watch our thoughts. Our thoughts change. New information is constantly being assimilated, thus new thoughts are created and old thoughts discarded. So, in fact, we have thoughts but we are not our thoughts. Are we our feelings?
Of course not. Yet our feelings are a large part of how we are in the world, how other people know us, interact with us. Our feelings often are how we describe ourselves to our self. ‘I’m feeling alright. I’m stressed out. I’m so excited!’ We might feel emotions change many times a day. They are brought on by events, people, and circumstances. Sometimes feelings change and we can’t determine why. Yet, we are still the same person, inside and at our core regardless of changing feelings and emotions that at times feel like a roller coaster. So, we have emotions and feelings but we are not our emotions. Are we our beliefs?
No. But we usually believe strongly in them. We might believe that we can’t change something or that we can: that someone doesn’t like us: that we are misunderstood: that our lover is beautiful: that it is important that we do things well. We might also believe in God or Goddess, in karma and reincarnation, in heaven and hell, in goodness, that capitalism is good or bad. We might say that we believe in nothing. Yet that too would be a belief. Beliefs are more than thoughts; and we have strong
feelings about them. They motivate us and direct us
to do what we do and not to do other things. Beliefs
are important, but they are NOT who we are. We have
beliefs, but we are not our beliefs.
Are we our body?
Of course we are not just our physical body. We have a body. It has its aches and pains, its healthy days and sick ones. One day this body will grow old, or get an incurable disease, and it will stop working. Our body will one day die. We have a body. We can choose to take care of it or not; but we are not our body. Then who am I?
If we take the time to look more closely at what is deep inside we would find goodness, well-being, spiritual wholeness, wise intelligence and compassion. Each of us can live that. Living our essential nature would not only make each of us happier but would make the world a better place. It has been said that “The kingdom of heaven is within you, and all around you.” The kingdom of heaven has been used by all cultures throughout history to convey a state of well-being and wholeness. Whether or not heaven is a place, it certainly can be understood as a state of consciousness. Asking “Who am I?” is a self-reflective process that invites each of us to enter the kingdom of heaven that is within and thereby see what is all around. |

Esoteric Healing Part 3
by Donna Mitchell-Moniak “Our theme is the esoteric consideration of
disease and its forms; -and to indicate the general
laws with which the healer must work and the six
rules – to which he gives obedience, through
discipline and understanding.” – Esoteric
Healing, AAB, pg. 24
In preparation for the creation of a comprehensive
Esoteric Healing Program, a number of us are
re-reading the text Esoteric Healing by Alice
Bailey. Below is Donna’s commentary on certain
pages. The Esoteric Healing program is scheduled to
begin in the autumn of 2007. For more information
please contact us at retreats@spiritfire.com
Thoughts on EH pg. 17-23
Page 17 begins with Rule 1. Before entering it, we acknowledge the difference between Laws and Rules. We probably all understand that Laws deal with immutable principles or macrocosmic paradigms of understanding. In this case, we are being given Laws of Healing. In fact, as we read them we understand that they are laws which speak of the relation of the microcosmic incarnation and the macrocosmic indwelling Life. For example, the first three Laws: Law I – “All disease is the result of
inhibited soul life. This is true of all forms in
all kingdoms. The art of the healer consists in
releasing the soul so that its life can flow through
the aggregate of organisms which constitute any
particular form.”
In summary, Law I says that all disease is the
result of disharmony between the form and the Life
aspect. Bring these two into harmony and disease
ceases.
Principle: LIFE is harmonious. Disharmony is a result of temporary wrong identification. Paradigm: Spirit and matter are one. It is the indwelling life that sees difference. Law II – “Disease is the product of and
subject to three influences: first, a man’s past,
wherein he pays the price f ancient error; second,
his inheritance, wherein he shares with all mankind
those tainted streams of energy which are of group
origin; third, he shares with all the natural forms
that which the Lord of Life imposes on His body.
These three influences are called the ‘Ancient Law
of Evil Sharing.’ This must give place some day to
that new ‘Law of Evil Sharing.” This must give place
some day to that new ‘Law of Ancient Dominating
Good’ which lies behind all that God has made. This
law must be brought into activity by the spiritual
will of man.”
Law II furthers the first by giving specificity to
three levels of disharmony which source disease:
Principle: Separatism (referred to as
disharmony in Law 1) on all levels is disharmonious.
Experiments in self-knowing only isolate the self.
Paradigm: All life lives and moves within a greater life and cycles of lives. Law III – “Disease is an effect of the
basic centralisaton of a man’s life energy. From the
plane whereon those energies are focused proceed
those determining conditions which produce ill
health. These therefore work out as disease or as
freedom from disease.”
Law III suggests that where the individual’s
identity is, that is, his conscious point of focus,
one can be locate the microcosmic origin of health
or disease. As we evolve, this point of identity
changes.
Principle: Thought constructs are all-powerful. Paradigm: “I am what I am until I am something else.” Rules are different. Rules instruct the apprentice
how to train himself, and tell the initiated how to
proceed. These are two different asanas; yet both
are contained within the reading of the Rules. We
have the example of the Rules for White Magic. (We
all have read them.) Rule One states: The solar
angel scatters not his force; but in meditation deep
communicates with his reflection. For the
apprentice, this is an instruction to:
These are just some obvious meanings that become
training for the apprentice.
For the initiated, this rule assumes all of the above and in fact requires them. Then, the asana is as the Christing force centered within the One Great Power of the Will of Love. As such, the depth of the concentration cannot be assailed or hindered. His reflection is not his personality equipment but the light in any substance. This being moves from the asana of Sameness. There is only light, and light is wielded, condensed, temporarily harnessed into shape or form, and then rightly released. Rules are born of Laws, and for the apprentice should be lived as laws of training. But for the initiated, Rules are the understood ways of being. Rule One – “Let the healer train himself to know the inner stage of thought or of desire of the one who seeks his help. He can thereby know the source from whence the trouble comes. Let him relate the cause and the effect and know the point exact through which relief must come.” Rule One for Healing immediately brings us into it.
What is it? The dangers of healing. We are told that
this form of healing, used by healers for
millennium, can cure disease or may increase the
so-called evil state’. An important thing to
know!!!! And part two is just as plain. Through its
technique and adequate consciousness within the
healer ‘the soul displays its power’ and the
patient’s soul responds. Generally, my friends, that
is quite disruptive and not gentle to the life
expression! Soul always requires change.
Let us understand what is being said in part two of
the rule, and look at this alignment of soul, heart,
brain, and auric emanation. Effects can run the
gamut from headaches to significant openings and
empowerments. Soul always calls forth soul. Light
begets light. That is the law. People could speak
volumes of what that has meant in terms of health
(as bodies refine and shake out courser, denser
substance and replace it with higher subplanar
substance), as brains have been scrambled and
rescrambled, as polarizations are slowly shifted and
the identity reattuned, as living patterns have had
to change and continuously be changed, as
relationships reflect that, as our relationship to
our Self reflects that, and as our karma (negative
and positive) is called into our lives more quickly.
These are just some of the obvious effects of being
in the auric emanations of more light. And as each
person daily becomes more lighted, they knowingly,
or not, cause similar effects in others. There is
direct co-measurement, of course, in the clarity of
one’s consciousness and light and the amount of
light that is lawfully and without effort called forth.
And I think this Rule, like the first statements
made by the Tibetan in his introductory remarks
about spiritual emergence, helps us frame this
project. “The goal is soul,” to quote Bono, both in
the practitioner and the client.
A couple more things to understand regarding Rule
One. Why is healing with the hands, unto itself
limited, other than the obvious of the limitations
of the degree of consciousness? Because the hands
are ever related to grasping and taking. This is
deep seeded not only in the race, but in other life
forms. Run it through your minds of all the animals,
as well as man, that use their paws, claws, talons,
etc to hold, grab, grasp, and cling onto. The hands
are used for positive activities as well, yet this
is deeply rooted in the collective psyche of the
animal kingdom and man. For human beings, the hands
can kill or hold the instruments that do. So, even
in these most obvious examples the point is made.
Equally the use of the hands easily calls forth the
ego of the healer. Why? Because people can feel the
warmth or energy coming out of the hands. As they
remark on this the ego of the healer is too easily
stroked. They then attempt to increase the amount of
energy or force that pours through them. Generally
what pours through is more force of the ego (little
self). Yet that being strong, is felt as stronger
energy by the client and the healer. And usually
this has the very real potential of decreasing the
heart alignment of the healer through an increase of
the solar plexus. This would naturally occur as the
solar plexus is related to the personal ego. Thus
evil, or separatism, is increased in the
practitioner, and self-identity is potentially
increased within the client.
This is actually next to impossible when work radiatorily. But that type of work requires that there be sufficient soul to the person. (I have seen people who claimed to be working with radiatory healing who were not. Their ego outweighed the soul’s light and presence.) Most clients, however, need the placebo effect of the hands. And even Christ laid his hands on people. Lord knows he did not have to. Presence itself is radiatory and radioactive. Light ever seeks free expression, and ever seeks to free light from whatever is the current expression into a more refined expressing state. This lies back of what we call impermanence. This is also why everything is always in process; and there is no completion. Also radioactivity releases. As it does so, the form breaks down. In chemistry it is called decay; radioactive elements decay into more essential forms. One day science will understand why radioactive elements have such long lives. Half million years in some cases. It is because the have reached a state of essence, and therefore of relative timelessness, or eternal Self perpetuation of perfected form adequate or equal to the indwelling spirit. The Tibetan then goes onto some preliminary thoughts on karma. But we’ll save that for another discussion! |
