M...India has been my fascination since I was young. Maybe I lived there in another life or something but I have feel some kind of connection to that 'place'..maybe not geographical location, maybe it's something else. I don't know. I don't romantisize or make it into it being mystical but I feel something that's not describable in my connection to India.<br />Maybe some places just carry a 'vibe' that can be picked up even w/o having visited there.<br /><br />My friend from delhi tells me that if and when I visit there when I step off the plane I will either die from the extreme heat or have a heart attack from the culture shock. lol. No doubt an american will be in for a surprise.<br /><br />She tells me that among the throngs of people and noise and pollution and starving animals and crazy drivers, etc. the place has a deep feeling of history and strong vibe about it. And that even the numerous poor people there is happiness that most people here don't feel. <br /><br />I recall Gangaji talkng about walking around with Papaji in Lucknow and she described the contradictions of India. That among the disorder and chaos and noise and smells there was a beauty and order to it all. And of course the silence that surrounds and holds each perfect unfolding moment. <br /><br /><br />One day I really hope to visit India.<br /><br /><br />I sometimes wonder about the one you spoke of. All experiencing life expressing itself and experiencing life in different forms and ways. I do wonder if and why some places(groups of people) have more 'density' than others and why certain places(countries, towns, etc.) are 'lighter' or more conscious than others. Places in the middle east where nothing seems to change. Especially for women. Mindsets that could be from the middle ages. <br /><br />Well, I'm not really asking anything..just rambling and pondering.
