Title: Being a Kind Friend
Post by: Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us? on Feb 06, 2017 01:42 am
i often think about some of the wonderful friends i have had this lifetime and it makes me filled with gratitude. There are some nice ones here on the site. Let me start out with Eric. He has been around for years now and nothing seems to deter him from staying a friend. Once in a while i get a kind text message from him or a nice voice mail even though i may not reply it is very nice of him to keep doing this on and off. i often think of him in my prayers and meditation. It appears that we have learned to deal with conflict and differences of opinion primarily because of a larger belief in a spiritual reality that rises above such petty differences as political views. When people can realize that ideas can tear people apart they often recognize that the mind creates such ideas and it is the mind that gets in our way during meditation.

i have always enjoyed Mccoy's friendship and presence here. It is nice to know that unlike about 40 years ago we were unable to have a very meaningful exchange with people at such a distance geographically. But because of computers and sites like this we can have friends at great distances. We are fortunate to have someone with common interests in meditation and health that contributes so much to our common interests. Mccoy is often in my thoughts and prayers especially during meditation. There are not very many people that are willing to reach out beyond their own life circle of friends and acquaintances and there small life activities. Mccoy is one of them. This forum would just have U.S. members if it were not for Mccoy and people like him that give are culture a different perspective and help us understand about other cultures.

i had to include Brock here. i know he doesn't care for me to say his name but no one will ever know who i am talking about if i use his latest screen name which is Ding Dong. Since he has changed his name to go directly to his screen name we may never know who i am talking about. Brock comes and goes but he is responsible for making the beautiful headers and wisdom quotes at the top of the forum. He comes out of the same good stuff that is part of his philosophy and helps train the mind to think more balanced. He has reminded me in his own way that this is not an SRF forum and we are not competing with SRF forums. There are few SRFers that will reach out to other people as we have tried to do with them. They have their own clique and that is O.K. There are some Srfers though like Mccoy and Namaste2all who have proven that spiritual friendship is lasting. i just have to mention here that it is Brock's sense of humor that is a natural aspect of his personality that i have enjoyed over the years.

My kindness extends as far as my feet. Is that what you are trying to say by saying nothing about me?
I bring you tidings of strangeness from a world of drama that keeps this world exciting and not so boring.
Wouldn't the world be a bore if everything were so bland? Take me home to the Alfred Hitchcock drama hour!

i don't think we are too concerned about not having enough drama. Meditation and advance spiritual practices like Kriya hastens our evolution and thus our experiences as well. There will always be people looking for dark excitement in this world so you will not be without company in that department. Just depends on where you to what levels you want your consciousness to rise to.


Title: Nomaste2all

 :D Quite often when you see advertisements taken off the portal it is Nomaste2all who is responsible for it. He is a--friend behind the scenes-- in most cases though we sometimes see him here as well which increases our ability to get to know him. One of the best friends I have ever had this life time and extremely helpful and lives the idea of spiritual service!

When you really have challenges and problems and some one seems to understand or at least know; it reminds you how you yourself need to develop empathy - a strong spiritual quality - in friends and old souls of a spiritual nature.
