He says, "Would you like a cup of tea!" The students asks, "Master what would you do if you walked around the corner and there was a man with a shotgun?" How does the Master answer?

Just another phase on the journey. Fairly typical when the knots of one world view are unravelling and the new vision has yet to become clear. Can I suggest to simply enjoy the phase as it is and remember that "this to shall pass".

Welcome my friend, find a seat, how do you like your tea?

When your garden is attacked by noxious pests you have a choice: A. Attack the pests with all manner of pesticides. B. Nourish the soil and the plants to make them naturally more resistant to pests. What do you think is the best for the long term health of your garden?

Or is it the fear that we are not whole and sufficient within ourselves?

Ok gossamer as you can see you are going to get the support you need. I would suggest that notice needs to be given to the comments that if you are not ready for this help then it may not be as effective is it could be. You are the most avid scholar of the Tao te Ching that I have encountered so let's play to your strengths. Choose your favourite translation and recite oit aloud the first chapter 3 times a day for the next 49 days. I would also recommend that you write out copy to keep with you through the day and whenever you feel yourself getting mentally or emotionaly caught in the stress stop and recite this chapter until you regain your balance. I would also suggest you need to draw more natural energy into your life. To do this, again for the next 49 days, get up as early as you can and do some deep breathing with the rising sun. Breathe in the goodness and simply allow any stale energy to flow out with your breath. Don't force it, follow the principle of being natural. You already have Ya Mu's purple light meditation that you have found success with so I would recommend you continue this as well. You are about to plant a new seed in your life my friend; prepare the soil well first and before you know it you will be enjoying the sweet taste of the fruits.

Thank you guys ... I think you consideration here is a credit to your virtue.

I respect your point of view my friend. Your caution is well noted.

Whilst Gossamer may be afflicted with the stress of his ordeal(s) I really don't think such comments are helpful.

Well said my friend This is worth reading again and again until it seeps into the depths of consciousness.

You are most welcome my friend
