This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 18, 2008:
NEVER!!!
There is a constant battle of good versus evil ensuing there. When the war slows down a bit, this treacherous kid part emerges, looking for the next victim project to sabotage. Then there are the countless uber voices that wander in - some of them friendly and welcome, and at times, when near those who are emotional and/or strong willed, their thoughts also merge with mine, creating a brew from which the most powerful of witch-doctors would run away.
On the other hand, I have learned to quiet it down to the point that I can actually hear and see almost nothing of this - maybe it is still going on, and I've found a santuary in some small space there. Just breathing and following the breathe, and all of it fades out. A momentary respite from the mayhem that begins buzzing anew, like prisoners breaking out of jail once concentration on the breathe ceases.
So, no - it's not a safe place to be. Folly to anyone who would think of dipping in there unwelcomed, for sure! ;)
