    Dear Jim
    I`m happy that hear you read it. I do vipassana meditation, and
    sayadow u jotika too, It's the reason that I like this book.
    It's not a special classic book for me but it's very close to reality,
    and it's help me to get decision for my life, there are many massages
    in the book for me.
    Oh by the way you can see www.dhammabrother.com

    or www.dhamma.org

    maybe you like it.
    About your meditation I think you can try Consciousness in more time and keep on balanced.
    That`s great.
    How long do you meditate in a day or week? I do it twice a day.
    Have a nice time.

    Dear Jim thanks.I`m so sorry for late response. I don`t know how to explain the feeling that I have. I`m happy now. It was snowing here (Teharn). Today is wonderful!!!
    Jim, "snow in the summer" is the best book that I have read. My teacher said: You must read it again and again… . You said that you read and meditate. I would like to know more about your meditation. I checked out zoofence site. Thanks.
    I have good sense from your sentences.
    Be happy
    Much Metta

    I agree!!! "Freedom from the Known" was the first of Krishnamurti's books that I read on 1999.
    It was wonderful. I`m reading "The first and last freedom" by J.Krishnamurti now.
    That`s great!!! This book improves my meditate and my mind opens because of it.
    It helps me to be not fanatic anymore. Did you read it?

    Thanks for share the idea.

    Hi Maria, When my granddaughter at age 10 gave her answer to this riddle written 10 thousand years ago from the EPIC OF GILGAMESH. You spawn of a fish who knew no father, hatchling of terrapin and turtle who sucked no mothers milk. Her answer "A TEST TUBE BABY" inspired me to write my first ever book JESUS THE LAST NEPHILIM.
