Re: Life is beautiful. Live it to the fullest.

"You didn't come here to make your father happy.  You didn't come here to make your mother happy.  You came here to make YOU happy" are just some of the words I heard in a three day seminar titled "New Beginnings" at Esalen/Big Sur about twenty years ago presented by an Auschwitz survivor.  One of the most beautiful spirits that I have ever encountered on this visit to the planet was during that small seminar presented by Edith Eva Egar (http://dreee.com/history.html) who was found at age sixteen by an American G. I. in a pile of dead bodies in 1945 where she could only wave a hand, couldn't even stand or otherwise move.

As a survivor of significant sexual, physical, and emotional abuse by my father - and mother, I did my damndest to make them happy which of course is an impossible task.  I went on for many years trying to make another person happy in a long-term marriage and of course that ended in failure.

One other thing.  As a small child when my mother was trying to suffocate me to terminate my few months old life (she would eventually tell me as a teen that "..you are the cause of all of my problems) I was taken as spirit to the edge of the earthly plane where there exists a deep chasm, a narrow band beyond which are zillions of bright light angelic entities guarding this earth plane reality.  At the edge of that chasm a voice from beyond its depths told me in a clear voice "No one's to blame, everyone's the same" after which I returned to the bedroom where my mother ended her quest to destroy my body, that time at least.

So about thirty five years ago after much searching for me I took up a meditation that activates my chakras and energy systems and began looking within - all the pluses and all the minuses.  It has been through this search and inner communication with the god within that all of us have that I learned that I and everyone else on the planet are in fact the same.  Exactly as I'd been told as a small child by the angelic entities who are actually among us and helping us on our way.  Every newly born AIDS baby, every murderer, tyrant, saint, or homeless person - we are all the same.  Without the angelic entities I would not be here.  I have been in combat, an air disaster, survived cancer and I ain't finished yet.

Anyone who tries to please others as their goal is bound for utter failure.  In my inner quest I have lost friends but I have added others who are much more valuable and who are my real friends.  Yes, I do help and assist others but in doing so my goal is to assist myself while helping them.

Rudi - I don't completely agree with you all the time but what you write is the truest and most beautiful reality that gets posted on these nutty Cure Zone boards.
