Sandra, I can't quite put into words what distinguishes your essays on The Wayward Mystic from those on Wild Arising, and it probably doesn't matter because I'm gaining so much from both of your publications! Thank you for all you offer.

Paulette, I'm glad you feel you're gaining so much from both publications. The difference I intended was to gather all my overtly spiritual articles in WM and my personal growth articles in WA. I hope that part is clear. 😜 Many thanks for your ongoing support.

How fascinating to meditate on the no-self! Thank you for the wonderful post, Sandra!

Cathy, I'm glad you found it fascinating. This might be too abstract for many people, but no self is an essential Buddhist concept. But it doesn't mean that we don't exist in a conventional sense. Thanks for your support.

Quantum physics has completed upended my ideas about what is and is not real. I'm not remotely an expert but I find the idea that at some level we are all infinitesimally small particulars interacting using rules we still don't understand comforting. There are many realities beyond what our senses tell us are real.

Judy, I'm so glad you find this not knowing comforting rather than frightening. I appreciate your openness to the "many realities beyond what our senses tell us are real." Thanks for connecting!
