It's a little depressing your book. It is discouraging to think that there will always be evil because duality is a prerequisite for existence. Yet we can look at the positive side of duality as well. The mountain that arises out of the valley gives us the opportunity to conquer the mountain. Whatever weaknesses we have and challenges we face are an opportunity to achieve greatness. Maybe your anger will help you to overcome whatever weakness or vulnerabilities. But i don't see an answer. The answer. Just anger! Intensity!

With all me respect for a tremendous style, Nora.

Long life ahead.

Nora, the realty of the working class around the world and here in NY is depressing, not necessarily for me, because I have learned how to play the rich man's game, but many of my kind, including my brother have been swept from existence because they lacked this knowledge. Depression and anger can debilitate a person or become a great motivator of action, expression and change, but I know one thing, happy people DO NOT want change even though the world burns around them.

My anger is not blind or emotional. It is not revengeful. It is not without purpose or meaning. More importantly it is NOT mine, it IS an outcome of an unfair system, that we do not share its insights. I seek justice, equality and peace.

In my book, i visit memories of a past life I once lived that are triggered from the death of my brother. They push me, today, the new logical man I have become, to seek a bloody revenge for his death, the outcome was not anger or bloody at all, but love. Two weeks later, my revenge was to have a child in his memory and raise her to change the world in a meaningful way. So, it is not just anger.

thank you for your email

Nora's response

I was deeply touched about what you have written to me. Some strong images from the book still hunting me, I have thought a lot about you and your decision. Inspiring confidence in yourself is one of the most important things you have, and just like I am now, I suppose the others will be very receptive to your self-confidence. You are a person who has come back from having a very powerful experience that taught you a lesson in life and you have built a solid foundation, that's your strength. But, even if you have tremendous leadership abilities, keep in mind however, that this doesn't mean that your life is necessarily stable. It's exhausting, sure, and you've just about had it. Weather challenge the ''status quo'' and choose ''dare'' , you have here a huge long terme project and it mean's for me that at least you have a plan. Do what has to be done! In my opinion the peaceful solution is the way to go in this situation! I believe that is esentialy also to be totally honest, true to oneself and one's own vision and convictions, even if that means standing alone, for a while.

Before I forget, i dare un advise, I'm the mother of 20 years boy and 16 years girl, i know about what i'm saying. Never project your struggle or frustration on your child. A child grows up absorbing the philosophy of life from his parents, only if there is a true family, based on understanding and compassion. The most important thing is the atmosphere at home - trust and respect.

Anyway, i've bodered you enough! Open your heart and express your love freely, as it will brighten up other people's lives as well. I wish you to be the shining light that others can look to for guidance and support. And as I 'saw' the book, maybe to find o producer to REALISE A MOVIE it will be useful too.

It's a pleasure and a privilege to consider you my friend, Peter!
