		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions, Last week I watched a show on PBS entitled, &#8220;The Buddha.&#8221;  I recommend it highly.  It was very informative, but it also gave me an insight about suffering that I had never read or heard before.  Someone said Suffering was better defined as Disappointment.  It was an aha moment for me.  I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions, Having a concept of God is so tricky.  Who told us we could ever define the Essence of All There Is?  I love the Jewish Religion because it can&#8217;t even say the Name of G-d.  I also love the Hindu Religion because of the number of Gods it has.  Zen works with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions, I read something the other day about how our willfulness gets in the way of God&#8217;s Will.  I do not believe in a God who has any difficulty with our willfulness.  God created everything, so therefore God is responsible for our desire to play god.  In the Christian tradition this is Holy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Spiritual Companions, In one of my devotions this morning, I read each of us has neurosis and wisdom inside of us.  The reality of the spiritual journey with no destination, which I happen to believe is the shortest route to God, is living in balance between those two emerging parts of our self.   The more I [...]]]></description>
