And my soul you cannot chain."<br />---<br /><br />Félicité's name is no accident.<br /><br />The author of course knew it's derived from the Latin word for happiness.<br /><br />Yes, the happiest people are those who care for others in humble simplicity.<br /><br />The most miserable people are the envious, the pretentious, who seek adulation, to be better than those around them. Those who chase their vain desires to the detriment of others. Never satisfied with what they have. In futility, trying to fill a bottomless void with more of the same selfishness.<br /><br />The diametric opposite of Félicité is Madame Bovary, having little loyalty or appreciation of those who love her. In a vain and never-ending quest for more --- for herself. Dying in misery and pain. And leaving behind those who need her.<br /><br />A parable in two stories.<br /><br />The kingdom of heaven and the depths of hell are within us.<br />Which we choose is up to us.<br /><br />---<br />"Et, croyant qu'il voulait jouer, elle le poussa doucement.

It was very beautiful there, and I wanted to stay but my brother told me I had to go back because my daughter needed me. The experience left me with no fear of death because now I know that the ones who have gone before us will be waiting, and that its only a transition. <br /><br />A most excellent book on the subject is "Matthew tell me about Heaven" by Suzanne Ward. It explains my own experience and adds insight to it. <br /><br />Thanks for the skeptiko link, anonymous.

L’Arche (The Ark) was family of the poor, the weak, the challenged, the able-bodied — all in some way broken — “that rises above prejudice and fear of difference,” that recognizes “our need for others,” that finds meaning and dignity in “the simple, humble gestures of daily living.”<br /><br />Mark<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-78003848887340097792015-04-03T14:01:41.135-07:002015-04-03T14:01:41.135-07:00Jospeh Campbell and his 'Hero with a Thousand ...Jospeh Campbell and his 'Hero with a Thousand Faces' is a fine read.Now the OT:<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Ever searched for some site online and wondered why the heck you can't find it ??<br /><br />When some big name sends mails like the one provided in the link, you know it.<br /><br />http://pastebin.com/Z5XcmFMJ<br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003998945645458544.post-81709759914671989142015-04-03T12:22:00.536-07:002015-04-03T12:22:00.536-07:00This is one of the best sites about Near Death Exp...This is one of the best sites about Near Death Experience Science, with many interviews with the leading researchers in the field, my own feeling is that the evidence for survival of consciousness after the death of the brain is sufficient.

Here is the link to the talks specifically about NDES from the last few years: <br />http://www.skeptiko.com/category/near-death-experience/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
