FORMULAS FOR LIVING	This body of ours did not come with an instruction manual. Yet, through the ages, cultures have developed formulas for living that served them well enough to survive as the world s great wisdom traditions. Today, many powerful new systems are being developed as cultures mix and science adds to our understandings.	mh@wisdombase.org
