| Hi Ernie,
Hmmm, wonder if it is really that simple:
<<Just give up your attachment and thus your exhausting chase for those
things you believe you need and come to a complete stop.>>
I think one needs to have the courage to examine those 'needs', find
out the orginal cause for the imagined 'need', otherwise one might
think they have 'given it up' only to find it resurfacing in another
form.

I think true "FREEDOM" comes out of stopping the chase. Its seems we
are always chasing something,when,we havnt taken the time to see what
we have already caught.
Peace

| Some things are more fun to *chase* than to *catch*. :-)

| There is nowhere to run once you see how *perfect* the
Universe is in getting you to this point in time and
space, and with an acceptance of this fact, what you
choose to see is what you get.

| This quote seems to connect .0 and ,4 handily :
"Since everything in life is but an experience in being
what it is,
having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection,
one may well burst out in laughter."

| re: .6,
> Pardon me while I burst into orgasm...
That last part was mine, I think the author was less influenced
by the Sexual Revolution and more by Chinese politics and
philosophy :-).
The quote appears in an interesting book about human
self-empowerment entitled "Realizations," by William Guillory.
