I was just wondering.
What if Buddha had got up from under the Tree of Enlightment, dusted himeself off and and said, "Okay. Now I know how this Enlightenment stuff works. I sat under this large tree for what seemed like a lifetime. A lot of birds nested above me, had baby birds and left their droppings all over me. I was hungry, lonely, thirsty and tired. It's pay back time.
Now let's see.
I could make packages and sell 'em.
The Enlightement Pack - only Rs.3,000 + 3 recorded sessions for future reference.
The Super Enlightenment Pack - Rs. 5,000, with a free CD and lifetime podcasts.
And finally, The Ultimate Enlightenment Pack - Rs. 10,000, includes all of the above + a personal session with a Bodhisattava."
It didn't happen that way. But what if it did?

yes!
i don’t know what else to say, except: yes.
you’ve posed a question
vast as an ocean
clear as a raindrop
shimmering on the glass
of a bright window
with a view of the ocean
I am not making this up.
In my mail today was an “offer” and this was the email title:
Buy The Integral Life Practice Kit and Get 7 Free Gifts!
I love it.
Operators are standing by…
That's wonderful Laurie. You presenced the gap clearly for me with that vivid description. Thank you.
And Jeannie? I know you didn't make it up. I'm sorry. I confess - I sent that email out to you. I don't know how your name got on the list. As a recompense, please accept the & gifts for free! No you don't have to buy anything. Honest. I absolutely insist. And I'll knock 30% off on the kit, too. Whaddya say?
