Thanks Inquiringmind,
I love Hermann Hesse's books, by the way!
I see what you mean about how it's important to understand and take into account what context the concept of "abundance" is taken in.
I suppose at the end of the day (no matter how abstract and "idealistic" an intention), I am more interested in waking up from the dream than making sure that I have a really nice dream. Plus, I'm afraid that the nicer the dream is, the more likely it will be that I will want to stay asleep!
As you say, this is obviously not the ambition of most people (or me either for most of the time to be honest - I am only human after all and do, despite all the spiritual ideals in the world live a "normal" life like everyone else with all its trappings!)
As you say about Krishnamurti, it is ironic that when you attain enlightenment, those very things you originally thought you needed/wanted or aspired for apparently just fall away anyway!
What is it they say?: Be Still and Know.
And here's me nattering away not allowing the Stillness to even get a leg in!!
lots of love
Ingrid :0)
