Why are we here? What is the purpose of existence? What is our purpose in life?
Question #4
Of what value or use is this sort of Awakening?
Question #5
Negativity is invading me. Suddenly I can see no light in anything. What is it I built, but a paper castle? I feel disconnected. Should I start over, using positive affirmations? (See also Questions #15 and #16.)
Question #6
I wonder what your views are on moments that hold a great deal of pain? I handle them by knowing they are real moments of pain....And, what about betrayal?

Question #8
Does the AIA website have any connection to Zen Buddhism?

Question #10
How do you live with this experience, now, after the ecstatic moment is gone? And how does your partner live with it? Often, the other person feels threatened by this kind of "breakthrough" experience. (Includes "3 Guidelines for Commitment in Relationships.")

Question #20
Life's Existential Questions....

Digital Darshan Forum: Is it necessary to have the physical presence of a teacher in order for transmission to occur? [See Metta's contributions to this dialogue from the Association for Transpersonal Psychology's 1999 Cyberconference: (8:37) and (8:39).]
Question #23
That my awareness might be the basis for everything that exists in this universe is the most frightening possibility I can imagine. It means total absolute solitude, a thought that has haunted me for years. What do you say to that, figure in my dream?
Question #24
Do you believe in a benevolent all-guiding creator force, outside of yourself, continuing to guide and bless humanity?
Question #25
Where does awareness come from, and where is it during deep sleep?
