Dear Eden, I apologize for my late response. As always, the sentences you suggested are very helpful for me! Also, your story of trip is very interested and having a fun to hear. Now, are you staying in Hamza Valley? Have a wonderful trip! Mashroom
Thank you for teaching, Eden! I read a book written by a Japanese author at first. I learned that it's the essence of Vippasana to quietly ignore our feelings that arises one after another. Next, I will try a book you recommended a while ago, but as you said, it's difficult to practice Vippasana perfectly just having known a theory. After all, I need to go to a course. I'm off today and tomorrow, so I'll manage to try Vippasana Meditation by myself. See you next time!
Thank you for teaching, Eden! Oh No... It's too bad I can't hand in my writing to you during that time. There are a lot of IDIY teachers indeed, but perhaps I won't be able to find a teacher who are interested in such fascinating and profound subjects we've been talking about. (Plus, I will have a trouble finding one who edits my writing so drastically.) But still, I'm looking forward to hearing your stories that you will experience for 10 days. (I've already finished reading an elementally book about Vipassana. I want to go to a course right away...) Good night! Yuichi
Thank you for teaching Eden! I think of reincarnation in this way; Now I'm a Japanese man, but I might have been a poor African peasant 1000 years ago. I might have been a Saudi Arabian prince 700 years ago, and a Japanese woman 500 years ago. Regardless of gender or background, all of them are "I". They seem different superficially but share "the same soul". Otherwise, we can't call it "re"incarnation! Imagine One staff wear a lot of different mascot costumes in Disneyland. He might be Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy or Donald Duck but all of them are "He". As for Abraham, I'm not quite sure, but an interesting event was recorded in the Gospel according to Mathew 16-16. At the top of the mountain, Jesus was talking with Moses and Elijah! By any chance, can saints be alive for thousands of years in a different dimension? Is Abraham one of them? This is a profound and complicated problem. Any way, the world God created is so mysterious... See you next time! Yuichi
I sincerely appreciate your assistance!
Hi Eden, I’ve been good! Thank you for asking. I learned a lot of things from this work. All of your suggestions are very helpful. Thank you!
Eden OH MY GOD! You mean, you can't live in a place you found? That's too bad! bureaucrats are always lack flexibility! As you say, life can change incredibly fast,,,but I hope you find much better place to live in. Talk soon! Yuichi
Thank you very much for correcting my English! Your expressions are very sophisticated and creative, and they always give me tips. I sincerely appreciate your kind support!
Eden, thank you so much for sharing enormously important information with me! I watched the short video about Dąbrowski. As his theory says, I went through a great deal of adversities to make mental and spiritual progress. And still, I will need to experience such difficulties in order to get further growth. For that purpose, it's definitely important to stick to my principles. "Never give in to others!" I've been thinking about these things at the back of my heart, but thanks to you, I could made a strong determination to do so! As for Vipassana meditation, I ordered a elementally guidebook on Amazon at first, but I think it's necessary to get a direct instruction by a professional person for accurate understanding, so I will go to the 10-days course when I can take long days off! You're extremely lucky you can live in such wonderful and beautiful surroundings. I'm comfortable with my current environment, but it's nothing compared to yours! I want to live in a place like that someday... By the way, in my view, people don't need to have pets if they live a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable life. So, that big decision you made was right, I think! See you next time! Yuichi
Dear Eden, thank you for your drastic edits and suggestions that have inspired me. I will digest them to step up to the next level. By the way, I am aware of Hunza, which my Pakistani friends highly recommend to visit. I am envious of you, and looking forward to your travel updates. Enjoy the trip!
Hello Eden, Thank you for correcting my English. You recommended me to listen to Audible in English and I never thought of that! Why didn't I come up with it? I decided to extend my subscription.
Thank you for teaching Eden! I strongly feel that THE LAW OF ATTRACTION is working even here! From this year, I'm getting more and more confident that I have grown up to be a very advanced spiritual level! Then, I found you and Susanna! I will definitely read the book and watch the movie you recommended! (Also, I will look up 10-day courses! ) Of course, I know that adults should grow to be an infant to the degree that they can enjoy the sight of the snow! I'm very glad I got friends of spiritual seeking. We're family! Yuichi
Thank you for teaching, Eden! I'm astonished and very glad to know that you and your wife are interested in spiritual things! I rarely find people who are enthusiastic about those issues. I've never heard of the name of that organization, but I've heard of Vipassana Meditation. It's world-famous! The name of the book is "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi". Ramana Maharshi is one of the greatest Indian saints in the modern ages and the book is full of information about "Advaita Vedanta" (It's the ultimate wisdom of ancient India!) To tell the truth, he's not exactly the author of that book. It's the book that people around him wrote down his teaching just as Evangelists recorded words and actions of Jesus. I'm looking forward to talking with you on this subject again! (I'm sorry I was late for replying again. Usually, I don't use my PC on the weekend in order to concentrate on meditation, but I use it a lot on weekdays! ) You're lucky you got that wonderful home, and adorable puppy! I want to look at the picture of Gari! haha! Let me know about your life from now on! Have a great day!
Thank you for teaching, Eden! Being honest is difficult particularly in Japan. It is often said that Japanese hold back their opinion in order not to hurt others. This is the point where most foreigners are confused about us! But in my opinion, holding back excessively is not always a good thing! Japanese frequently tell a small lie. I looked up Baltit Fort on the internet. It's on the World Heritage List! It seems to be an important place as well as a beautiful site! Have a good day! See you next time!
Thank you very much for teaching, Eden! I apologize I was late for replying. I hope your hotel room is comfortable because I stayed at the terrible hotel during my travel about five years ago! I'm looking forward to the next time!
