Hi Larry
Very well written. Definitely it is encouraging me to attend one of the Vipassana session. Thanks for sharing and please update this thread with your progress.

I feel like I know what that's like...to be angry with the Creator. I have been there, thinking to myself, "I see others having the kind of life I would like to have...why shouldn't I have that pretty gal on my arm (for instance) or why can't I ha...
When I was feeling angry at the Creator or more like, foresaken...I wasn't in a good place in most areas of my life and tending to put everything outside myself...put the responsibility anywhere but on my self. I haven't been there in a few years....
I personally haven't had this dilema. Seems like you will need to work through it (which I can see you are doing by asking here) or else you may end up living your life in anger and resentment, which I have done before (for other reasons) and that...

Well and wish to hear the same from you.
Just wondering what will be / how will you react if you are upset / angry with the Creator for some reason.
Many Thanks
Nanban
I know this group is capable of higher thought.
I appreciate the different perspectives we all bring.
We need to redirect our focus and get back to the level of communication we are capable of.
Nanban-
Good advice on the Secret. So get this, after posting I received many messages from people offering help and I took one up on the offer. How beautiful that we are all here for each other huh? Feeling such kindness really lifted my spirits. Today as negative thoughts came to me I just kept thinking of the word "smile" that way I was unable to continue with the flow of negativity. Tonight I plan on having a beer, taking a bath and really thinking of what I am grateful for and just get back to the basics of who I am and KNOW that the universe will respond accordingly. I have found in life that when you come from a place of gratitude AND giving, so much comes back to you. While I find myself in a scary position right now, I can still give to others in different ways and I have so much to be grateful for and I need to start focusing on those things. By the way I'm sure you get this all the time but your pic is adorable!
Hey There...
Nice to meet you..... I can see from your profile pic you are very committed to your meditation practice, its almost like you have a buddha type smile from all those deep brainwaves permeating your consciousness... ;-)
Peace, Elissa
