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
Everyone is conscious but most are spiritually unaware.
Even many who believe themselves to be on a spiritual path are unaware; and they are unaware that they are unaware.
Avatars and Perfect Masters come to shake us up, to awaken us from our spiritual slumber.
Often they are misunderstood and seen as controversial figures. Many proud spiritual figures of the time in Kolkata thought of Ramakrishna as a crazy man. Few were aware of Lahiri Mahasaya's spiritual realization.
Paramahansa Yogananda and Swami Vivekananda met with many difficulties from others who professed knowledge of the spiritual path.
Some Swamis thought Ramana Maharishi had a brain disorder Now in retrospect they are extolled as spiritual giants and worshipped. There are always Avatars and Perfect Masters living on earth, but very few recognize them.
If Paramahansa Yogananda were to incarnate on earth again he would have the same consciousness but would have a new body, personality and name.
I wonder how many who profess to be his devotees would recognize him?
