“Homo Deus”, a prophetic book by Harari said: “Marx and Lenin devoted more attention to understanding the technological and economic realities of their time than scrutinizing ancient texts and prophetic dreams.”

Harari considered the Bible as an ancient text. Like Lenin and Marx I must devote more time studying the technological and economic realities of my time instead of getting involved in the “quarrel” of our current president with the Catholic Church.

First i must learn to operate a smart phone given by a Chinese student of my husband. Shame on me and my doctorate. Even children in the building of our condo readily use smart phones.

But I must pace myself. I need to call on my “Sense of being okay, just as I am.” ( Sylvia Boorstein) I am 75 years old. A friend of my husband definitely younger than I am does not even know how to email. He does lengthy messages to my husband using text messages. and he is a leader in the business world!

“The end of suffering…was something I could bring about through my own practice. It depended on me.” (Boorstein)

I must differentiate between” the inevitable pains of life and the extra pain created in the mind that STRUGGLES rather than ACCOMMODATES.”

“The words ATTACHMENT and CLINGING are used to describe the tension that arises in the mind when it is unable to accept what is true.”
