Here in the Himalayas, I was feeling the golden Tara energy too. I was meditating yesterday under a tree shade with a further contemplation of the value system that I shared earlier. That is one of the good things with sharing our journey here, it brings more active attention to our current inquiry. The forum serves as a public journal.

I realised how I had this spiritual value system, maybe from many past lives being in spiritual disciplines. My sense is that value systems are relative and mind based and doesn't have any inherent existence in nature. They are mostly judgements on reality, where we judge one as better compared to another. Spiritual value systems maybe judging someone better than another because they are more evolved, have empathic qualities, etc. Its possible to discern reality without such value systems. When these realisations were landing, I noticed a little girl and boy passing in front of me and the girl was poignantly wearing a red shirt and had a bandage covering her fore head. This reflected to me the wound I was carrying around the third eye. I closed my eyes and could feel this beautiful expansion around the third eye, dissolving the tightness I had been carrying for a long time there. Thankyou for sharing Open; now I know what I was feeling!
