Expect nothing, or you will get caught up in the future and not pay attention to the present. Just do the practice diligently, do it because you enjoy it, do it because you believe in it. Don't wait for results, don't wait for it to happen.
Well that's a shame. Esoterica was one of the more intelligent people here. I recall having a couple of arguments with her, but we didn't allow our egos to get in the way and they were actually useful discussions. Sorry to see her go.

I hope you have a good life, esoterica - you're a wise person on most topics. Good luck in the world and good bye!

I too remember butting heads from time to time, but in general, she kept a smile on my face... that's 2 leavings at once when I log in, wow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Such a pity, her posts always truck home with me. Never was much for arguing, though she go go at it well, but reading her posts was always a treat.

Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion.... We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs, from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything.... The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light. This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.
To anyone considering joining the mass exodus: I suggest you stay, for the same reason I didn't leave the country when President Bush II got reelected. If you leave the board, you are basically ceding it to the people who annoyed you. Then they "win."
