This from a newsletter that just arrived in mail

To paraphrase the Bible, “It is better to give than to receive.”

Regardless of your religious beliefs, this piece of ancient wisdom just might be an important life lesson that can benefit your mental health. For while it can feel really good to get something we want badly, new research shows that our brains actually respond more positively to giving than receiving.

The study, which was conducted at the University of Zurich in Switzerland, found that being generous--or even thinking of being generous--is associated with positive brain changes that produce happiness


Thoughts, experiences as a giver and or as a recipient ...

I don't doubt that at all ... I think the parable of the 12 Wise and 12 Foolish Virgins might be relevant 'at THIS time' especially

Seems like we've been in the dark for some time ... many of the latter have been asleep for a long while ...

The again there are those who even ask 'Whats the chances of finding 24 virgins anyway?"

Crazy world eh ?

There's some sayings in the ancient Vedic texts that predate Christianity by several thousand years, I don;t have time now to go get but I can paraphrase from memory

"As it is in the microcosm so it is in the macrosm"

This says 'Everything si made from the same stuff, it's just a matter of scale ...

so YOU contain the univers in 'micro' just as the Universe contains YOU in it's entirety :-)

Another is roughly

" Every thing is a metaphor for every thing else "

You might ponder that in terms of

Man and Emerson's 'Oversoul'

Or you might look at

The Internet and the Akashic Records ... both are receptacles of "All knowledge and all events"

Do you hear that, sort of a cackling noise ... ever get the sense yer being watched here Pedro ( and I'm NOT meaning Guardian Angels eh ;-) )
