I have a confession to make.

Dear Everybody,

I don't claim to understand most of the subtle undercurrents of feelings going on here, expressed in this thread. Some people seem to be expressing their discomfort with aspects of their relationships with the community. I understand that. It's part of my dharma to resolve this question: how can I relate to others and maintain my own peace of mind and joy? There is so much negativity and turmoil and chaos floating around in the environment. How can I tell what's coming from me and what's coming from others? How can I keep myself connected and close to others and yet stay tuned in to the Christ channel, rather than the millions of radio stations being broadcast by those around me.

Regarding being part of Ra: So what? I'm part of God. The only thing is, I "know" I'm part of God with my mind. How can I get to the point where I feel it all the time? [Don't answer that question, please, it's rhetorical.]

I am assuming that anyone expressing any kind of dissatisfaction or unhappiness with those around him/her is in the same place as me - still on the learning path. I am at the point of realizing this and recognizing it when I start to judge others. Awareness, they say, is the first step to learning something new.
