Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Dear Kundalika you <<I don't have the time or the inclination to "challenge" anyone. I have made a sincere attempt to pose real life cases which can be studied by all. After all, most of the population doesnot belong to "who's who". When I use the word "enlighten" I mean it. Thats exactly what I am looking for, enlightenment. I don't look at it as a demo of anyone's skills, purely as an academic pursuit.>> me Great, it is good that you clarify the issue, many times, a first email can be misunderstood. you <<I am looking for enlightenment>> me If that is what you are looking for, i have the feeling that you are going to get it soon. And i know that you really mean it. Talking about this, one of my customers told me that there is a couple giving (selling) "liberation" and that they are "enlightened". I told her that only Krishna can give liberation and that i doubted that that couple is enlightened. If they were really enlightened they would not deal so cheap in "Liberation". Do not take me wrong, i know what you mean and that you are serious. you One more thing, I have a formal degree in English literature. I read-write-speak 6 languages including Deutsche and speak 2 dialects. No Espanol, not yet. When I make a comment on translations, I know exactly what I am talking about. me Great to know, i have a lot of respect for people with skills in languages. I myself read-write-speak 2 languages but when working in the early 70's in Paris, i used to read-speak French, but now i am rusty in that language. Also, because my mother tongue is very similar to Italian and Portuguese, i can understand those languages in a 70%. While in Paris, i used to work in a boutique (cloths shop) owned by a family of Greeks. One of them used to speak fluently 12 languages, including Arab and 2 dialects, his brother 8 languages and their mother only 9 languages. When the son of one of them was 4, he used to speak German for his mum, Greek for his dad and French for his nanny, and he was going to learn English in his first year at school. you No Espanol, not yet. me Perhaps you could learn Spanish from Skinbags.......just kidding.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Dear Natabara, I really hate it when someone misinterprets my words, it seems to happen quite a lot of times. I have a strong and Rx Saturn in my second house, that should explain things I guess. I hope to learn French one day, right now I can only manage a few words:) Its a boon to have a mother-tongue similar to other languages, mine is too. Which is why it was easy for me to learn other languages. Of course, Deutsche was a different story. A friend's parents spent 16 years in the then West Germany, I picked up the basics from them, and then went on to do a proper course in the language. I just want to let you know that the moon calendar you posted is working wonders. It actually corresponds to the good/bad days for me, thank you for posting it. In fact, I wish I had this tool five years ago, it would have made such a difference:) Best wishes, K. me Great, it is good that you clarify the issue, many times, a first email can be misunderstood. you <<I am looking for enlightenment>> me If that is what you are looking for, i have the feeling that you are going to get it soon.
