Quote of the Week
"Contacts (of the senses) with their objects, O'son of Kunti, gives rise to the experience of cold and heat, pleasure and pain.  Transient they come and go, bear them patiently O'Bharata." 
Bhagavad-Gita 2.13 

Commentary:   Here again Lord Krishna is reminding Arjuna that even though his physical experiences are constantly changing, he should not be adversely affected by this, but instead bear them patiently, for they are temporary as is everything in the ever changing field of physical reality.  Recognizing this we begin to move through our experiences more lightly, addressing things calmly, doing the best we can without much fuss or worry.  Thus our lives begin to flow more evenly, and peacefully.
Yogi Edmond

The Devil runs a computer simulation to analyze souls to determine individual weaknesses to exploit. The program settles on Elliot Richards, a sweet, geeky, over-zealous man working a dead-end job in a San Francisco computer company. He has no friends, and his co-workers avoid him. He harbors a crush on colleague Alison Gardner, but lacks the courage to ask her out. After Elliot is ditched by his co-workers at a bar while trying to talk to Alison, he says he would give anything for Alison to be with him.  The Devil, in the form of a seductive, gorgeous woman, overhears him and offers to give Elliot seven wishes in exchange for his soul.
Hope to see you there  :)
