Notebook #2: Unmesha

03 – I saw something…

I saw something this morning. I saw an answer, a good answer, to the question “What is evil?”

Notebook #2: Unmesha

02 – Tonight…
Tonight I would normally be teaching a teleclass. Because of a sore throat, I’m not. Instead, I’ll be adding some insights to a class I would have given that will either deepen or confuse it, or both.
