Synchronicity

The synchronicity between what I write and what I read continues to amaze me. The day after I wrote the passage below about "Buddha nature" in each one of us, I read this passage from Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, p. 128: "The yogis say that human discontentment is simply a case of mistaken identity. . . . We have failed to recognize our deeper, divine character. We don't realize that, somewhere in us all, there does exist a supreme Self who is eternally at peace. That supreme Self is our true identity, universal and divine. . . . a notion nicely expressed in the exasperated line from the Greek stoic philosopher Epictetus: 'You bear God within you, poor wretch, and know it not.'"
