Geoff Allen's Journal, August 2006

Been thinkin bout some of deepak's advice ... from that millennium broadcast ... namely to not cling 2 anything as being 'my' or 'mine' ... when you think about it ... MY opinions, MY children, MY nationality, MY money, MY house, MY religion ...

On an old page - click - was thinking bout him the other day ...

From that Osho site - many discussions - e.g.

And one of those quotes - click

[ August 10 & 11, 2006 '

Been thinkin the past couple of daze about some of the stuff at my various sites ... e.g. - is that still a valid link??

... this as well - click

Also while watching a doco on the amazing human body - esp digestion and all that ... kinda reminded me of some of this stuff ...

... plus the finely tuned universe ... where did I upload that to ... click

And ... that's JUST the physical universe ... this discussion reminds me of some fabulous

From an earlier page - click

Looking 4 a dud link - click

This being among the top results

Continuin a thought from an earlier page ... if we DID evolve by pure chance then any beliefs are the result of pure chance so why get upset if by chance someone believes something different from yourself ... I felt that WAS going somewhere but I seem 2 have lost the thread of it ...

... oh yes, well that would make the ingredients in anyone's personality are just random chance and so they are not responsible for what they do ... hmmm :)

This one is apt as one of Mum's cousins is on his death bed as we speak

I can' let it go ... then love would just be pure chance that some are loving and others aren't ... and if it lasts or fades is just chance in action again ... a pretty depressing way 2 live ... esp if & when the chips are down ...

... and yet I am an ex-atheist ... NEVER thought I would change ... and if you had said that one day I would be reading books like cwg and meditating and practicing universal compasion ... well I would have absolutely laughed IN your face

... and I used to ridicule or belittle anyone on the opposite side of the debate ... hmmm :)
