Dear Danilo,

Reading your passionately honest and angry and uncompromising post, I feel again as if I was hearing my own words. Perhaps I’m projecting, but I sense a deep hurt there. I cannot claim I understand every single word you wrote, but I think I know what you are speaking about and I’m totally with you, do you believe me?

I will not argue, I don’t care about stating something convincing. I just want to feel good, and that is to love – and there are absolutely no words involved in that. I have read tons and tons and tons of advaita and everything else, and although all of it was just words, they formed a ladder, or slide, of words for me. To get ..... where? I don’t know. And the words themselves come from ..... where? I don’t know. Do you? Are words really the problem? Please, Danilo, try to not be quite so sure that all of us just want the cheapest way out. I am not using words to drug me out of the awarenes of suffering in the world. Be open for surprises.

So, all I can do is cheer you on, Danilo Do not take these words as being condescending. I speak from a feeling of somehow knowing your beautiful, wounded and lovesick heart as my own. I’m sure you are going to find whatever it is you are seeking. I want to bless you.

A happy New Year for you and all of our friends here,

Jochen
