It is also almost certainly silver-plated, and not true silver. Full silver work is unusual in that part of the world, and is very expensive. If you look at the ring, I'm guessing you'll find that there are six characters, and that the first and last characters are the same. This then would be the famous mantra "Om Mane Padme Ohm" which translates roughly as "The jewel in the heart of the lotus: Oh!" which is a delightful bit of Jewel content which had not occurred to me before. The mantra is not meant to have meaning per se, but is pondered as an opening to meditation in some Buddhist groups. Hiranya take note; I don't know if Jewel has caught this yet (as I say, I hadn't) but if not I'm sure she'd love to know about it. Thus I'm cc:ing you on this post. Please also note that I am not an expert on Buddhism; above knowledge is from a trip to Nepal several years ago (beautiful place), and is thereby as fallible as all such information is bound to be.

I read all the Irc info and since I'm on a Mac I could download anything to register. So I kept looking and checked out the freeservers. It turned out that my provider was on the list so I clicked on it and up popped this program called Globalchat, which I've seen before but never really knew how it worked. It came with my internet software and has just been sitting on my computer. The only other experience I've had with Chat channels was when I found a website that had them but when I tried joining it opened up something called Quarterdeck, which I assumed was something built into Netscape Navigator. It didn't really interest me since I had no reason to use it. Now I do. Talk to you soon on the Jewel channel. I love it when a plan comes together? Anyone remember what that comes from?

Quite the opposite, it theorizes that everyone is indiscriminately linked to the same source and so, inescapably compatible. Astrology only points out the different personality issues that will come into play in any relationship. Any good caster, or astro- logist, should first and foremost point out the positive approach to an equation. Astrology is based on the principle that anything can be done with the right approach. =) Someone posted (sorry, i forget who) that astrology was much like psychology, merely describing different personality types and their intracacies. Since, I am well acquainted with both astrolgy and psychiatry (my current occupation of choice), I would like to say that this is the best anology of astrology that I have ever seen. Astrology is indeed the study of the personal issues that people work through as they labor through life. Take as no more than such. Consider it an ancestor of psychology, though one still very much alive and very wise. =) I have been trying to answer most inquiries by private post. I would like to say one more thing to the list though. It seems that I have come forward as the advocate for astrology on the list. =) I am fine with that duty, but please under- stand that I am not on a crusade. Many people use astrology for many different purposes, albeit entertainment to serious dabbling. Each to their own. As with christianity, baseball, and blackjack, you get out what you put in. =) Love~life, Crunch =) ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V1 #604 ***************************
