		<description>Aliya, it&#039;s not that I&#039;m offended by your remarks but reacting to what I see as a misunderstanding of issues which I hope would cause you to reconsider them. It&#039;s only what you are so intent on in your so contradicting comments.</description>

		<description>Aliya, are you dismissing the point that meditation is a technique and should not have as objective to effect any of the things you are objecting to. Is that your understanding of meditation, of manipulating anything other than clearing the mind so as to go on with life in a clearer-headed clearer-spirited way?</description>

		<description>Dear Frank,

Everything false, unreal, man made illusion, which tries to oppress and impose on free being is uggly and absurd. And this is not a judgmental state, it is how Existence &quot;operates&quot;, it is Existence&#039;s fundamental law.
As for the &quot;rest of humanity&quot;, why do not you leave it to the rest of humanity and talk only on your behalf? 
If you feel offended of my words, be aware of your ego. Your ego does not want anybody else speaking in here except you and people supporting only you. Ego always rejects the uniqueness of each and every human being and wants only followers, not free and authentic individuals.</description>

		<description>Aliya, re: &quot;the idea of comparing your very being with superficial mind labeling, concepts and other mind junk, is absurd and uggly&quot;

I find your statement and using the term &quot;uggly&quot; (ugly?) extremely judgemental and distasteful. As someone who purports spiritual truths, this is not worthy of you. Pls temper your judgements and comments, they are off-putting and convey an attitude of only you possessing truth. The rest of humanity beg to differ.

Namaste.</description>

		<description>Hi Carmen,

Your discovering meditation and biofeedback is certainly a blessing. Your experience confirms what scientists are discovering in the research of biofeedback, that it has effective benefits on our physiology. Your bathtub meditations sound wonderful. I&#039;m happy for you, your health improving!</description>

		<description>Hi Frank, I am a Quantum Biofeedback therapist by trade. I work with energy and emotions and reactions and the frequencies of our choices within the understanding that we are in this world to learn about the possibilities of love on earth. I have to admit that when I came across Quantum Biofeedback it was what I was looking for.  I was not ready to leave the planet I felt I was not used up yet and I asked to be of service.  When I had my first biofeedback session I knew that the illness was the means to bring me to my mission. Imagine observing the energy behind our actions, is like having a statement of your energetic bank account and knowing when and how you make withdraws and when you make deposits, and when you overdraw.  I have explored different levels of consciousness through out of body experiences and the big picture comes easier for me and shows me the perfect order of the universe than the idea of a random universe. Meditation?  Every morning in the bathtub for about an hour. Mainly my goal is to be in the now and be transparent by coming from the heart.</description>

		<description>Hi Carmen, re: &quot;Alignment is more appropriate for me than responsibility&quot;

I&#039;m sharing this beautiful experience I had meditating at the Zen temple, filled with others, and had the moving vision of myself aligned front, back and to both sides to infinity with all the meditators past, present and future. It was very gratifying to have the feeling of being involved in an activity that has such a long historical tradition.

Are you meditating? Your comments have great spiritual understanding.
Best regards, Frank Luke</description>

		<description>There is nothing and nobody bigger than you, neither is there anything or anybody smaller than you. You are unique and the very idea of comparing yourself with whatever kind of &quot;obligations&quot;, &quot;moral imperatives for evolutionary processes&quot; howsoever &quot;spiritually inspired&quot; and &quot;soul-level&quot; you may label them, the idea of comparing your very being with superficial mind labeling, concepts and other mind junk, is absurd and uggly. Only the Being, only Existence, which &quot;EXISTS&quot;, is sacred. No perspective, howsoever &quot;positive&quot; you may decorate it, can be compared to real life, to the Bieng Here and Now. There is no such a thing as a moral imperative, all morality reveals false and fades away in front of the real light of being, of existence which exists (not the one we are used to think about, but the one which IS).</description>

		<description>Noting a contrast of 50s song &quot;Imagination&quot; and Lennon&#039;s &quot;Imagine&quot;:

Where the 50s song is about  self-interested amative love, Lennon&#039;s song could be the anthem for evolutionary enlightenment, no? Pop songs that show we&#039;ve come a long way, haven&#039;t we, baby?

 I&#039;d edit one line, &quot;The Brotherhood of Man&quot; &gt; &quot;The Unity of Humankind&quot;. Other than that, it&#039;s beautiful and perfect!</description>

		<description>I submit that as we evolve, our personality, as it heals,  expresses spirit more and more, therefore we shed the flawed parts that were the symptoms of what needed healing. Then as we look back, those flawed parts are seen to be foreign to who we are now. As we climb up from one level of awareness, to the next, we express who we are in the present, and then express who we are at the next level in that coming moment.</description>
