hello ayp'ers
my sister has a birthday tomorrow, 21st, she was born on fathers day. seh was not supposed to live past a few weeks, she is now 28or 27?. too many medical miracles to list here, she is an example that is beyond science. if anyone wants to add her in samyama or a quick little prayer, her name is sandy, she is a warrior.
thanks
WIth love

I wish her a very happy birthday, whether 27th or 28th. And acknowledge that she truly is a warrior. |

| Are there any signs that she values life more than other people because of her situation? |

signs,
from the outside, not really. she smokes cigarettes, drinks a lot of caffeine, etc..
from the inside, probably why she has lived 28 years

Hello Etherfish,
I am very curious to know that what made you raise this question? Any personal experiences involved or something else.. If you are comfortable please share.
kind regards |

It is very common for people who have come close to death or are living beyond expectations to value life more than the rest of us. The stories you hear about them often inspire us to value life more.
Not that they would necessarily take better care of themselves, but just that they often feel victory waking up in the morning.
Knowing you may not have long to live creates a different outlook on life that would benefit all of us.
That's why Castaneda taught to "use death as an advisor". |

ahhh....and the first chirp of the day.

What Castaneda meant by using death as an advisor:
We all have advisors we use; a religious person might think of God first when he has a question,
a vain young woman might think of her looks first, a greedy man might think of money first.
Whatever is the most important thing in your life, when you have a question, you may think of that thing first, and that is using that thing as an advisor.
So what Castaneda said is the death is a very good advisor. When you have a question, think first that you are going to die at an unknown time, and see how that helps answer your question. |
