![]() ![]() ![]() You “get” thereby realizing that you are there already. You think that you can’t get there from where and who you are at this moment because you are not yet complete or good enough, but the truth is that here and now is the only point from where you can get there. You see time as the means to salvation, whereas in truth it is the greatest obstacle to salvation. ![]() It is saying, in fact, that you need time - that you need to find, sort out, do, achieve, acquire, become, or understand something before you can be free or complete. ![]() Something needs to happen, or you need to become this or that before you can be free and fulfilled. Your mind is telling you that you cannot get there from here. It is freedom from compulsive thinking, from negativity, and above all from past and future as a psychological need. True salvation is a state of freedom - from fear, from suffering, from a perceived state of lack and insufficiency and therefore from all wanting, needing, grasping, and clinging.

John Watson is the loyal sidekick of Sherlock Holmes, appearing in almost every Sherlock Holmes story ever written by Conan Doyle. Perhaps just as famous as his brilliant partner, Dr. Still, he remains intellectually superior without a doubt, even when surrounded by other successful detectives. In The Valley of Fear, we do not see as much of the “bloodhound” Holmes rather, he seems to penetrate the mystery rather quickly, and the true heart of the story instead lies in the second part. This particular novel, ironically enough, probably contains less of Holmes than any of the others, with the great sleuth being contained largely to Part I. He is incredibly brilliant, moderately vain, and often impatient with those who are unable to keep up with his rapid deductions. Sherlock Holmes is described as tall, thin, and reserved, with an aquiline nose and penetrating eyes. Arguably the most famous fictional character in history, Sherlock Holmes is synonymous with “great detective.” His place as the most brilliant detective in all of literature is challenged only possibly by Agatha Christie’s Poirot. ![]() ![]() Many of our young people are feeling uncertain and anxious.
