We are the Luckiest Generation in History of this Planet . . .

[Lataif]

Please:
 

(1) I keep having these intense moments of immense wonder and

gratitude lately.

 

(2) The amount of authentic spirituality available to us with the

internet today is truly staggering.

 

(3) I'm old enough to remember the mid 1960s . . . when there was

just Krishnamurti . . . Yogananda . . . Gurdjieff . . . and that was about it.

 

(4) No Daoists.  No Tibetans.  No Sufis.  No Advaitists.  No Zenists.

 

(5) You had to travel (time and money) to meet people and get a chance

to compare and contrast methods for your specific  needs.

 

(6) What then took a year to figure out . . . follow up on . . . and check out

. . . you can now do in a week.

 

(7) Do the corresponding numbers:  it's like living 52 lives in this one.

 

(8) It's like living . . . 52 incarnations.

 

(9) We're getting it done better and faster than any generation in the 

history of this planet.

 

(10) It's overwhelming to consider . . .

Sufi quote:

 

"A donkey with a load of holy books is still a donkey."

 

Better, faster?

This story can be easily used for so many aspects in our 'luckiest generation' as you pretend to call it:

 

Lao Banzhang – A village in decline

 

People today want the quick and easy way without putting any effort.

 

You don't get gongfu and wisdom by doing little and reading one thousand books.

Booo Gerard

 

I’m currently sticking to just one practice and I'm very happy with how its going. I have recently increased my ZZ stand up to 30 minutes and am now experiencing some nice new energy flows that are the result of a daily commitment.

 

But, I’d never have discovered ZZ with out this information age.

 

Whether someone commits to one thing for a long time or not is quite a bit down to their own character and whether they’ve come to the realisation that the more you focus on one thing the more results you get.

More access works both ways. You have more chances to encounter both good and bad teachings. Please be careful!

A lot of valuable knowledge is being lost these days.

 

Most are sick, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

 

A very great number will die young.
