I've just now stumbled across your posts - sorry for the delay!

TheBoss, although you don't write much about any details, I guess I can relate to what you're writing. A few years ago I broke my back (3 vertebras), and I had to basically lay in my bed for months, wearing a corset all the time (including in the shower and during sleep). It was a great blessing. I had a lot of time for meditation, and I became clearly aware that whatever happens, I am completely unaffected.
I doubt that I would have gone on spiritual retreats without this "total break" in my life. And those retreats transformed my whole life, they are blessings beyond words.

There were a lot of signs before the burglary that it's time to sell equipment and look for a security system, but I was too slow acting appropriately. The burglary made me quicker..!

Fortman, thank you very much for your sympathy! I must say that I don't have any bad feelings, or any hatred. Just imagine in what state a soul must be to think that doing such things is a solution for anything. Then ask yourself if you would like to BE that soul, live your life with such a mindframe, and such a deed in your past... Might lead to some compassion.
