Here's the story:<BR/><BR/>Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph and said to him, 'Abba as far as I can I say my little office, I fast a little, I pray and meditate, I live in peace and as far as I can, I purify my thoughts. What else an I do?' then the old man stood up and stretched his hands towards eaven. His fingers became like ten <BR/>lamps of fire and he said to im, 'If you will, you can become all flame.' <BR/>~~~<BR/>An "office", by the way, is a prayer service.<BR/><BR/>You can find the story right here:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://essenes.net/df.htm" REL="nofollow">Flame story</A>Ellie Finlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807252889442220449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9350891.post-9986854986561022112007-11-28T04:33:00.000-06:002007-11-28T04:33:00.000-06:00I happy that you found my post on meditation and c...I happy that you found my post on meditation and creativity!
