Quote of the Week
When you touch someone who authentically represents a tradition, you not only touch his or her tradition, you also touch your own.
The above quote comes from Living Buddha, Living Christ, a book I picked up from the library a couple of days ago. I spotted Elaine Pagels name on the front cover, assuming she was the author, but when I got home, I discovered that she just wrote the introduction, and it was actually written by a Vietnamese Buddhist Monk called Thich Nhat Hanh. Coincidently, I had also picked up a book on meditation (The Blooming Lotus) written by the same guy, hehe.
I also signed out a couple of books on mythology: Japanese Tales and Legends by Helen & William McAlpine, and Voices of the Winds: Native American Legends by Margot Edmonds & Ella E. Clark, as well as a book on Shamanism, and A Brief History of Druids by Peter Berresford Ellis.
So yeah, plenty of reading for me

The duality of existance
I am somehow, both of God (composed of God’s essence), and endowed with the gift of self-existance. My self-existance, although valid, has to some extent, become disconnected with my essence, that is, god’s essence. And so, I am both united and divided with my own self and god, and here lies the duality of existance.
I’m no philosopher
