excerpt from my journal
2001
A curious thing happened.
    At Thie^`n Thu*'c, after meditation, Brother {XX} rushed to me, asking whether I was wearing any facial cream or not.  He said my face glowed so white, and everybody looked at me, wondering what happened.  I said it must have been the sunlight, yet he kept voicing his amazement.  I didn't do or experience anything out of the ordinary.  At one time, I had a Q&A in my mind. "If you want to be God's friend, ask yourself if you're worthy of his friendship.  If you want to be God's lover, ask yourself if you're worthy of his love." I did visualize sending out vibrations to harmonize with the attending Vo Vi people and to contribute to the healing Cosmic Force.  Anyway, I'm not sure what Brother {XX} could have seen, but I felt encouraged.

I visited Ha(`ng in the hospital.  She couldn't move, couldn't speak.  I brought a photo of our master Ta'm, a cassette player, some batteries and ear phones.  I held her hand and pray for an easy, peaceful death.  The cancer has done its worst.  She smiled through tears when I played the tape for her.  I put my favorite photo of Mr. Ta'm, (he sported a crew-cut hair style), at the only spot I could find, among various medical items.  Such punishment!  I hope I don't have to atone for my sins in such manner.
