Guest guest Posted January 15, 2001 Report Share Posted January 15, 2001 Pluto is now in Sagittarius. As when it was last time in Sag, we have a polarization of religion, the Renaissance, the Time which had the planets closest to the current alignments also saw Savvanarola and his cronies march for religion. Unfortunately, this will probably get worse before it gets better, but the good news is, that this too shall pass :-) L*L*L Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Dear Mark, Omigosh, is this so touchy? I'm sorry. We should still try to understand each other though. And Mark, easy, easy, I know as much about pain as those monks do... Had plenty a bruise and a shadow as well. You wrote: >You are going off into never, never land my friend. No "never, never land" for me, Mark. Am as concrete as can be... just had my porridge... was about as stiff as concrete too... >BTW, this discussion is about >the DL, not absolute dharma. What's the dif ! :-)) "Absolute dharma" is focussed on and in this situation, the Dalai Lama in the middle of it. He knows the extent of it all... And BTW, I send the URL of the Swiss TV documentary to this list. > By shadow, I'm referring to > the psychological shadow, > not a physical one. If you read what I wrote and understood what I meant, you would have seen that I understood. :-) BTW, I mean this well, am smiling... have had my share of pain... This is what 'realization' is, that in the middle of the less happy realities of life, that we then apply the enlightening insights of the "dharma" and do not take a few days off and then, when the calamities have subsided, that we carry on with our considerations of "absolute dharma." > You should go to India and explain your > cosmic principles to the monks with the > bruises from the beatings they took. I did not have to go. I did see them here in Victoria. They did show the cosmic principles though, not the bruises. (Although they are involved, my wife visited them in India. Coming back on Thursday... ) >They know very well that their pain isn't real in > absolute terms but I'll bet they still hurt like hell. Good time for them to realize: practice and actualize. I had to learn that as well when my times were tough.... no Dalai Lama to pull me through though... saw a wrathful deity once... and decided that that was illusion... it was then that Tibetan Buddhism became significant to me... > Like it or not, there is a conditional realm to deal > with and it has all it's laws and karmas in place > and the psychological shadow is one of them. The deity Dorje Shugden to deal with... You are using the word "conditional" Mark, want to spar with me...about condition, conditional, unconditional ? Hey, I am an OK guy, be careful with language though... Love, Wim :-) http://www.aurasphere.dhs.org "Indirect knowledge gathered from books or teachers can never set a human free until its truth is investigated, applied, experimented with and experienced. Only direct, factual and actual realization does that. Realize your whole self, reintegrate your mind and body." - Tripura Rahasya, 18: 89-90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
