Yes, as I mentioned, I also found the glamor thing off-putting but things are not a barrier to opening unless we make them so. Indeed, there are practices that use things to transcend them.

This is closely related to our baggage about money. Enjoying being surrounded by nice things and being affluent can be very comfortable. But it can be a barrier. As you observe, if we look for happiness in things, we will very soon be disappointed. It has a lot to do with the financial problems we now face.

But it is also useful to note how we respond to affluence. It can trigger our residual ’stuff’ around this. And that may help tell us why we’re not. (laughs)

Upon viewing a You Tube preview of the film I also found the glamour initially off-putting, especially her surroundings in what I presume to be her home, rich with art; however, I am wrong to do so. We must look to the inner, not the outer and such experiences may be looked upon as tests, although I find it distracting, more difficult to learn from a teacher who puts value in “things” for it was one of the first lessons I learned on my path – that acquiring things does not make one happy beyond 30 seconds.

I used to have a couple of web sites but migrated to blogs as they are so much easier to maintain. Commercial content may require a hosted blog or web site, but you may want to launch your own free blog with no ads for your sharing and link that from your web site.

Recently, it became apparent I needed an index of key posts. Categories didn’t quite do it and they were too hard to find. So I added a Key Posts page, linked on the right.

That is a GREAT idea. Since I am new to this site I haven’t learned all of the tricks and tools! It will be fun to share some of the wonderful things that I have learned along the way.

Thanks for the feedback, FI. And thanks for the offer. At this point, I have rather a backlog of reading to catch up on, so I’ll have to defer. But if you’d like to share it, why not think about posting the stories on a sub-page of your site? “What inspires me” or some such.
I do agree. The quality of the message people are teaching these days has improved greatly since I began my path. Keep being inspired
