DEMASKING: Some thoughts about authenticity

	Aiff I revealed meself
	wood ya accept me? Could ya over
	luke me stubbornness 'n for
	give me ennui? Would ya tole
	rate me sloppiness 'n in
	door me mood swings? Can ya
	except me as impurrfect 'n
	in munney weighs incomplete?

	Who you are is evolving -
	& love is a process of discovery.

	For the sake of others, love yourself
	then see the unity of all beings.

	Love is not a state of perfection
	but way of accepting imperfections
	with equanimity.

	The universe becomes richer as
	we open our hearts -
	why cling to inferiority?


Cantara: Why are so many people are afraid to reveal themselves?

Chris: 	 Don't ask me for insights.

Miok: 	 I think Buscaglia was right in saying, "To see people as they really are,
         we must love them unconditionally. Unless we do, they may not reveal
         themselves to us and we will miss them forever." In other words, we hide behind
         facades out of fear.

Tim: 	 Huh? I'm not sure I wan'na see all people. Is it pissable ta luv so many?
