What is this thing called love? This funny thing called love? Just who can solve its mystery? Why should it make a fool of me? I saw you there one wonderful day You took my heart and threw it away That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above What is this thing called love?

Did the Chinese invent Marmite (vegemite) or Weetabix?

Amorim was very good at Sporting Lisbon but the problems he faces at United I think may well be too much ( but I hope not).

They are priceless but free.

I have several - would you like to choose?

I agree with your last point. I tend to avoid abstruse arguments about soul and self and non-self because in the end all will be revealed on true realisation or insight as we go along the way. I treat karma partly as common sense, in that actions produce results and the results tend to mirror the original act. So in terms of conduct I should try to do wholesome things to get wholesome results - to provide better conditions for myself and others. This without agonising over what particular action produced which result - as the whole thing is like tangled hair. So it just gives a reason to behave better. Beyond that of course the subtle body is distorted by emotional charge resulting from past actions and experiences. Sometimes parasitic energies are attracted like bugs onto negative karmic states leading to repetitive circular energy states (like addiction or obsessive thoughts and so on) which is dangerous and hard to deal with. Emotions and emotional states have to be addressed (but without becoming indulgently self focussed) and the knots undone. Kundalini? Well that's difficult but I see that as a special or extra energy released when you begin to see through to reality - it's important not to force it but it will come when awareness and primordial substance are linked.
