I'm sorry I'm not perfect nor well versed in Eastern religions. Next time, I'll know better. Thank you for the lesson. Not at all, I have to admit, I have heard the term 'Bushisms' for some of the more stupid things he's said, but I never thought it would have been enough to be known, which is why I thought it an obvious typo, but never mind, no harm done. Some of the Eastern religions and phillosophies (I don't tend to think of Buddhism so much as a religion but a phillosophy) are certainly closer to the nature of the Force. I found that by studying various religions such as Paganism, Buddhism, Wicca etc, the core elements arethe same, namely about channelling and focussing the natural energies that surround us all.

I'm still getting over Epstein-Barre so I'm not mentally quick as I once was. Being tired most of the time with no energy takes it toll so I've started to take Ginseng and Ginkgo-Biloba; it gets embarrassing sometimes that I don't pick up on stuff like I should. But, Bushism I thought you perhaps had meant Bush's way of Christianity. As Master Enz stated, I know Christians (some, not all of course) don't act very Christian-like with their actions, forcing their will upon others, etc. But like you said, that can be for any group, either religion, nationality, etc. For the book, I just started to read it and the author does refer to some philosophers either Jewish, Austrian etc. I'm sorry I'm not perfect nor well versed in Eastern religions.

It will take time. Possibly a great deal of time, but you will get better in the end. Ah, no, not at all, I'd simply heard the phrase used to describe some of the strange things he's said in the past. I think Bush is a bit of a hypocrite to be claiming such strong Christian values despite his hellraising youth, but he fits into that catagory of extreme 'born agains' that try and force their views on others... The least said about him the better really
