From "Basic Hippy Consciousness," the introduction:
"There is a balance that one can reach within that is so satisfying as to trigger a realization: the source for all is inside, not out there...
"Thus, as most outward pursuits can't come close to the deeply satisfying personal experience of 'this something' which is much larger, forceful, beautiful, giving and loving, one goes where the good stuff is, forgoing much of the other."
Here's an example: Suppose I can see into the future, but, being in balance, have no overamped ambitions to rule the world with this ability, maybe save a few pennies here and there, that's all.
So, in a possible scenario, say I/you know the Kindle will evolve to include net browsing, video conferencing, and become a much more user-friendly finger operated device with smart phoning features. Instead of being motivated by money, buying stock and making a profits, the Balance naturally Ieads you/me to just kick back a few months while they further develop the product beyond it's current status as an overpriced PDF reader. This way, we'll get more for our dollars when we DO buy one. That's all.
Why would I want a large stock portfolio or too much money (to which I become chained) when I'm rolling perfectly well without the added drag? Flies in the face of profiteering logic, I realize that, come on. However, there are levels far above and beyond that skimpy bottom line."
Similarly, it is unimportant to either of us whether or not religious leaders agree with our Inner GPS. We are free as we get our avatars settled into this new, self-proprietry environment.
