I believe the whole totality of what the author is trying to get across to the reader is in my opinion this... If you have ever experienced an empty feeling and try to fill it with that "something", you are missing the chance to be enlightened.. Enlightened is hard to explain b/c it is a spiritual experience. The whole concept is to get out of your thinking and feel.. Just be.. Which is very uncomfortable for everyone especially "thinkers"... I admit that for me it has been very hard to live in the Now.. I feel uncomfortable. I feel this hole in my chest or emptiness... I don't like how it feels.. If I am doing "something".. anything else... I don't feel it as much.. or I don't notice it as much... therefore coming back to the Now.. is very hard to do for me.. the book helped me with knowing what to do with that uncomfortable feeling.. trusting that with practice, my life will have more meaning and I will feel more peaceful..

You are going to make great parents. At some point the lawyers and paperwork will be a distant memory and you'll be focusing on raising a decent human being ;) Good to see things are progressing.

What you package your garbage in is not the point. Taylor, recycling is doing NOTHING, that's my point. It's worse because it allows us all to feel that we are doing SOMETHING. We're not. You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. Zainab, there are consequences to this lifestyle whether you recycle or not. Again, that's my point. ChCre, buy less, throw away less.

If we don't recycle and if it doesn't come a habit then there will be pollution also if half of the people in America don't recycle then there will be alot of cicumstances.

I understand your concept on making the average person feel like their over-use of plastics is "ok" just because they recycled once that week, but if recycling wasn't offered, they would most likely consume just as much, and on top of that be doing NOTHING at all in a contrasting effort to help.

Such as the Religion part. But I do agree with being in the present moment, and the ego, and how the past and future help us not. Have you done a review on a New Earth?

They weren't around when I had kids and/or pregnant. WALK I DID. As for hybrid, what a joke, do they need to park close in case the have to plug in. Should have thought about it before you left home, same as I would make sure I have gas before going out.
