What ever happened to you going to the Shiva temple once a month? Oh I know, you chickened out last minute due to the time it would take to establish a presence there...that, my dear, is your ego at work!

you guessed wrong. I just forgot

besides Shiva is in everything, whats the point of a temple?

What is the point? To give me a sense of point and purpose in relation to my environment.

I realise that Shiva is in everything, but I need an 'entry point' back into the world of Maya and Illusion once more....I need something I can actually accept as being "bulls***" so I can get totally lost within the material world with its sheer ignorance that I crave so badly.

This is a great question in that is one suppose to always feel (some) inner peace 100% of the time? In enlightenment, one is enlightened 100% of the time and would it be clear.... yes. Does clarity lead to bliss. Clarity is not a desire. The second question, would it be blissful. Clarity is honesty. Bliss is transitory. One imo is suppose to know when to be bliss and when not to.

What is more important but clarity. What does this mean because in clarity one may not be blissful but understand. Please don't get me wrong but what if one is in a negative situation how does the enlightened feel. Does the enlightened feel conflict? Would one prefer clarity or peace? The focus of "I".
