Dubin (formerly known as Richie when you were Clark’s older brother - now we are all the same age!). I am thoroughly enjoying your ideas. Just playing with the word universe to include “you” was brilliant. As you say, we are all part of everything, “part of the cosmos”!! To remember that we are both part and whole is helpful to broaden our perspective. It can change the way we listen to others. And the way you would start your classes to get everyone to more clearly know eachother, and not just their names. You built a community for those students. As a former teacher, that was always an important piece to help students thrive. Finally, the point about attention being a form of generosity is so spot on. If you want others to feel part of the whole, you must pay attention to them. It is what helps them thrive. Which is what you are doing to your/our community of readers. Thank you.
Echoing what HRS said, thank you for continuing to share your heart and wisdom with us. I loved the Consciousness video; found myself saying "ahhh" a number of times. But Jack? I wasn't ready for that. Of his letting go of the facade for a few moments, of "Jack" disappearing into honesty and authenticity. It's remarkable how EVERY time I see that, hear that, am in the presence of it, the IT of living life alive, tears come. Thank you, my friend. Grateful......
Thank you, H.R.S., if that's your 'real' name. I still think of Buddha as a kid named Sid, and I think of you as a KId named Kid. I'm happily confused. I might need medication.
Reading the quote by Herman Hesse, took me instantly back to myself at aprox age 15, when I first read Siddhartha.. And it changed my life and set me on a path of self discovery, back then ... How I loved that book... So much wisdom... How forgetful we can be.. What a perfect quote, thank you Richard for sharing your wisdom with all of us 🙏💕

Thank you, Neil.
Your keen reading and clear understanding is much appreciated.
Funny how much older I was when we were younger.
