Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 would not say " who said I was a Buddha... " that would be defensive and she's never defensive. I've even tried to get her to be by asking tough questions and making tough statements in front of others. Believe me, nothing ruffles her feathers. If you think she is a Buddha, that would be fine with her, but in no way means she sees herself as one. vivian April You asked: Is it just a judgment call to say that getting a face lift is somehow about insecurity or vanity? My answer: Yes. So you want to understand how it could be something else besides insecurity or vanity? I see the world as kind...so when I hear someone mention to me that I could use a facelift...I take that as a kind and loving suggestion. Why not have a facelift? Could be interesting. ...even fun!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 What you wrote is exactly what I got out of doing the work on " self realized people cannot have preferences. " And I also got that nobody can get away from having preferences (realized or not -and no, I can't know there are 'realized' people). Likes, dislikes, preferences, desires... all are part of the functioning of Totality! And if Love is what we are... and it is absolutely complete in itself, having a preference (for a facelift or a sandwich or ranch dressing) in no way can threaten that love. It is in fact the matrix which allows for it all... > > You asked: Is it just a judgment call to say that getting a face > lift is somehow about insecurity or vanity? > > My answer: Yes. > > So you want to understand how it could be something else besides > insecurity or vanity? > > I see the world as kind...so when I hear someone mention to me that I > could use a facelift...I take that as a kind and loving suggestion.
