Interestingly, I have been feeling divided within myself. Often times, we run away from ourselves, due to inhibitions, fears and uncertainty. Once, we exalt such traps, we can freely invite the openess, based only on what one truly feels and desires. Am seeking clarity, whilst faced with challenging medical attention - and sometimes, it is an awakening to valuing the self, be it divided or incomplete. But Raza.... Lahore needs you! Wish you all the best. SSD Raza, this is beautiful and much appreciated. Interestingly, I have been feeling divided within myself.

The 'I' is not extinguished..instead we have Augustine's 'volo ut sis': I want you to be. Not a shrinking of the self but an expansion, to be *more* than one self, to exceed oneself. of course, I do agree with you in the sense that simplicty is a great virtue. But having seen the fundos who also want to reduce everything to one dimension I think we must opt for pluralism, for untity IN diversity. "As long as we are unsure we are alive". --G.
