This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 10, 2009:
NO.
It is why i do not try to get any of my written material published or anything similar.
As much as my ego loves the attention, i preefer to be somewhat low-profile. I have witnessed too many folks get their names thrown around and they become different. I think it is extermemely difficult to keep any kind of humility and spirituality when famous. Most end up new age gurus or pop psycholgy experts when they started with deep, rich spiritual teachings.Thanks but no thanks. I will leave fame and fortune to folks better equipped to handle it. My teacher has told me many times, "Keep your work in the basement". Words of wisdom for sure. I am learning how to hide in plain-site these days.
