   this is fairly good stuff Crow ...   
      
   however about being here ... in this place I like to call Purgatory as one   
   has to go always through their pain to find happiness here.   
      
   This is why I refuse to live in fear and do the work of living in love.   
      
   Anyhow ... the reason why a person loves places and people here in this life   
   time as it were .. is that in previous life times you left parts of yourself   
   here with them or in that particular place you love so much or are attracted   
   to.   
      
   There is a reason why we live where we live.   
      
   Same for what you hate here ... love and hate are two sides of the same coin   
   I say.   
      
   So what you love you incorporate ... and what you hate you incorporate by   
   the changing of the emotional bathwater of letting go and being with it in   
   love.   
      
   If you do it right ... then there is nothing of you here to come back to and   
   collect yourself.   
      
   It is what you get for playing around and creating energy.   
      
   The Buddhist have a term ... the 'action of no action'.   
      
   Have a life, do things, that have no energy, no karma to them in that they   
   are things one does are all soliceted and requested.  As Sister Theresa says   
   ... if they don't need and they don't ask .. leave them alone.
