Some of this is such a reflection of what I go through on a daily basis , especially lately. I do believe that one of the most difficult tasks on the
Warrior's Path is to not react to insults, and not get angry. Finding a strategy is a solution but can also be difficult, at least without instruction.
Mostly, I stay quiet and go on about my business until Spirit opens a way. As well, I guess it helps to remember that I , too, began from a place of
self-importance, and can only sigh at those still afflicted with it.
These forums have been helpful in my understanding of the Toltec teachings , if only to form my thinking in exchanges with others as I post. Unless I'm
bored ,or worse, disturbed about something , I usually pass by nonsense and hostility , here.
And, Docta Lee, I am always interested in new books. I'll keep it in mind. However , I am long convinced that Castaneda is not an issue. The issue is ,
do the statements resonate with my true mind? Are the tales of don Juan wisdom, or not? Can I verify by my own experience , or that of others besides
Carlos Castaneda?
