Jaden got me thinking, why I hang out here. I'd like to recall a story Ramakrishna told.
An educated scholar and a simple peasant were crossing the Ganges in a boat with a few other people. The scholar looked down at the peasant, "You, fellow, have you read the Bhagavad Gita?" The peasant replied, "No, Sir, I do not know how to read." The scholar continued, "I can quote the 'Gita, and I have read the Vedas and Upanishads. Can you quote the Vedas?" The peasant replied, No, Sir, I had to work whle the gurus were teaching." This kind of thing went on for quite a while. Finally the peasant looked outside and asked, "Sir, do you know how to swim?" The scholar snorted, "No. Such a waste of time." The peasant continued, "Well, Sir, I see a strom coming, and the boat may sink. I do not know Scripture, but I know how to swim."
My personal work is to do math modelling of metaphysical stuff based on experience doing past life therapy. I'm like the scholar. I'm about as old as God, and my boat will soon sink. However, because I am able to hang out here with good people, including Bruce (who kindly autographed my copy of the Afterlife How-To book), I'm learning how to swim. I'm grateful to you all.
Thanks - dave
