thanks, jan, for your input. i started my spiritual path doing "magic" but i always said to myself that it was white as opposed to black. now all those distinctions don't matter, words and concepts change. what i used to call magic back then is now called the law of attraction.

getting caught up in the shoulds and how to's etc for me is just a form of distraction. for me there's no good or bad, it just is what it is.

a simple formula i came across is that whatever is the easiest and gives a sense of relief is the way to go. it's useless trying to follow someone else's path. it's all individual, and what's good for one may be not for another.

i can relate to your tibet item. whenever i am around anything tibetan i get very emotional. so i went and hung out with the refugees in nepal and really enjoyed myself. the bells, the chanting, the whole vibe. wonderful!
