Ahimsa - Thanks
Dear Webmasters,
I know this doesn't belong in the "Suggestions to Webmaster" forum, but I hesitate to post on "Ask Andreas" because I don't want to use up a valuable opportunity for someone else to ask a question of Andreas. Perhaps you could move the post there without doing this?!
I'm teaching a course on the Yoga Sutras and last week found myself trying to demonstrate one sutra...the idea that once ahimsa or "non-harming/non-violence" is firmly and truly established in a person, that all hostility and violence will vanish in that person's presence. In other words, other people will naturally be affected by this person's energy and will themselves be unable to show hostility or violence in their presence.
I've long felt that Andreas' forum on Curezone is a perfect example of this. And today, I see a very potent example of that, that a forum member offered to purchase books for another member who was in need of them. I was moved to post this in response.
Those of us that buzz around Andreas like flies are well aware of how special his forum is. Forum members are respectful and generous and grateful. We all feed off Andreas' wonderful spirit. His willingness to serve is beautifully matched by our own thirst for wisdom and a more natural, balanced way of life.
I would like to express my gratitude to Andreas for embodying and sharing this spirit, and also, most dearly to the other forum members for participating so generously in this process. I am deeply grateful that I can tune into this energy every day whether or not I am asking questions.
Warm regards to all.
Pranams,
Janaki
