Hi Kevin,

you said 'We can facilitate the flow and the quality or we can choose to do
something else'. I don't think that being human is anywhere near so simple
as that. If I'm wrong then how do you explain all the lower quality forms of
life that go about as humans, paedophiles for instance? Every human being
follows the fundamental pattern of behaviour of doing what they think is
good for them, but for most, if not all of us, our notion of what is good
for us is distorted. I recognise the value of inner-work but that avenue is
either closed to or rejected by the vast majority of people who are too busy
with their lives. For those people, and I would say also for those who
meditate, choice is largely a semi-conscious act and yet we are doing it all
out waking lives!

Perhaps only after enlightenment is it possible to make a real choice ;)
