Personal Profile

Silk lotus arrangement The Internet as an instrument of global sharing is a powerful medium. Like with other things, it has its positive and negative side. One can be as intimate or anonymous as one can be in cyberspace. In the new world of virtual reality, the human mind, body and spirit must come into play for the true and the beautiful to manifest.

Dr. Lonny Brown writes in his Jewels in the Net -- The Spiritual Search in Cyberspace: "In Buddhist cosmology there are many realms. Cyberspace is just another loka, a level of psychological incarnation, no more real or unreal, important or unimportant, than the "reality" we inhabit all the time. Just like the human level and heaven and hell realms, it can delude or liberate, depending on one's insight and intent."

Below are some of my likes to give you an inkling of my other interests and inclinations. For every like is a dislike. Our challenge is in balancing our negatives, yin, and our positives, yang, with the insight that nothing stays forever. Everything is subject to the Immutable Law Of Change.
