Material things are not to be despised -- without them there can be no manifestation in the material world.

A Quote by Sri Aurobindo on material, things, and manifestation
Yes, well, i supose we would be here with nothing beneeth our feet.
Sounds quite obsurd really. Us in a great nothingness.
No means of testing our metal.
Provision of amenity to demonstrate discretion.
No joy, no threat, no overcomming.
I am of the impression we are blessed to be here.
We are in the midst of a very great blessing for each of us.
Even the most severely challenged, as, all about us, more is in train than we are able to be aware of on many planes.
As i understand it, here we have an opportunity to progress and evolve.
There may be other types of places for being which are difficult to comprehend at this time, however, i am feeling confidant of our being in a very special place now. Love and best wishes to all.
