"Notenoughness"

I bought a new book yesterday which was recommended to me by a co-worker. It is called Spiritual Liberation and is written by Michael Beckwith. I checked it out on line and was excited about the excerpt I read. Then when I checked inventory at the local book store I was pleasantly surprised and at the same time a little disappointed that they had several copies. Pleased of course that I didn't have to make the usual trip to London and disappointed because any book that is well stocked usually means it's something that caters to the masses. But regardless I bought it and a quick browse seemed to confirm my hope that it was going to be sincere and thoughtful Halfway through the introduction however he almost lost me for good. He referenced some kind of meditation that he had designed but went on to say that it was too complex to cover in this book.....and so....he states that the whole process can be discovered on the available 6 CD set!!! I almost closed the book right then and there!!

But, I had paid 20 bucks for it and as such I chose to go on. So far I am absolutely delighted. I will share more of his wisdom tomorrow but for today I bring you his word, "notenoughness". He says that when he sees people in a shopping mall many appear not to be looking for something they need but rather they are wandering around in a state of wanting something to want! He says we are suffering from the tyranny of trends which is blasted at us from TV, radio, newspapers, the internet etc.

At least for today I have "enough". I hope to keep it that way no matter what I have.
