It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
"You may die a hundred deaths without a break in the mental turmoil. Or you may keep your body and die only in the mind. The death of the mind is the birth of
wisdom."
"The memory of the past unfulfilled desires traps energy which manifests itself as a person. When its charge gets exhausted the person dies.
Unfulfilled desires are carried over into the next birth.
Self-identification with the body creates ever fresh desires;
and there is no end to them unless this mechanism of bondage is clearly seen.
It is clarity that is liberating,
for you cannot abandon desire unless its causes and effects are clearly seen.
I do not say that the same person is reborn. It dies and dies for good. But its memories remain and their desires and fears. They
supply the energy for a new person. The real takes no part in it, but makes it possible by giving it the light."
