Day 6 as a vegetarian.
"I've been here before. I don't wanna come back no more." Teena Marie
Karma: The idea that I have lived many lifetimes, and that I will live many more in an attempt to reach perfection is what Karma presents. According to Jain philosophy our souls pick up cosmic particles based on our motivations, intentions and deeds. These particles are called Karma. They determine your experience in future lives. With Karma the goal is not to acquire as much good Karma as you can (this only determines that you will be born human in the next life rather than a frog). The goal is to shed all Karma so that you can transmigrate to that perfect state. In order to get to that state it requires detachment from all desire, even the desire to be perfect.
Under this philosophy, I will have to be reborn many, many times just to not want Haagen Daz Vanilla Swiss Almond over Peach Cobbler.
There is much more that I still want...
Peace.
Pat

Hey Sis,
Sounds interesting, as for the Haagen Daz Vanilla Swiss Almond!!!!! Wow that is sooooooooooo true. Keep learning, take care, be safe and Love you much.
Interested to learn more about the Jain religion. Even more interested to see how long you will hold on to vegetarianism! I would have quit in the middle of my first meal =).
Geez, I think i may have to return many more lives. I never knew until now that my perfectionism is a problem. I think I am going to leave dishes in my sink tonight.
I love and miss you Pat!!!
