20th August

Just the six of us to explore the mystery of life both myself and Jean saw the report that those who accepted the spiritual reality of the universe lived thirteen years longer than those who were convinced that the material world is all there is.
We looked at a short video of a modern Indian guru who gave a good illustration of society as life or our journey being a bus filled with bickering passengers fighting over who was the most intelligent the most powerful and the best looking not realizing that the windows had blinds down so they never saw the miracle of what is nature self evident.

I did break the news though that the Guru is now dead at an early age of 60 but determined to be positive it was suggested he was meant to die at 47.

This led to what was meant by it and here we disagreed some taking it that you were meant to look at nature but I suggested that here too you would still be in duality and I believe it is only when the mind or the passenger drops the dominent role that we then see without seeing.

We also looked at that sad but up-lifting video of the young Australian who born without arms or legs led a useful full life filled with love for humanity bringing his audience of school children to tears.
