Angelique/Jerry Katz/ List Description

[Guest guest]

Hi Angelique. Thanks for the welcome back and hope all is well. Both you and

Jerry Katz have contributed enormously to the building of your communities.

You both have more in common than you realize. You are both extremely gifted

and creative human beings. You are both from Canada. You both have

backgrounds in stand up comedy. Hey, maybe you are both the same person.

Stop playing with us Jerry/Angelique, OK!

 

Seriously, although both you Angelique and Jerry have a lot in common there

may be differences as well. I think we can respect those differences. Jerry

Katz is widely loved on and in fact the NDS and HS have many

members in common. We have also had an HS/NDS retreat where 15 people

gathered at the Zen Monastery in Cumberland and many of us had a chance to

meet Jerry Katz. He is a beautiful human being. To know him is to love him!

The same can be said of you Angelique!

 

I would appreciate it if in our posts we generally keep the list charter in

mind which is given below. Here is the description of which I

periodically post to keep members aware of the list spirit.

 

Love you all

Harsha

 

This discussion group is meant to be an open Satsanga and is blessed by Sri

Ramana Maharshi, the great Jnani Sage of Arunachala. a is in

the best tradition of a joyous spiritual fellowship for facilitating the

Recognition of the Eternal Reality that is One's Own Self. "I Am That!" This

is the uncompromising, simple, and yet Radical Truth proclaimed in a variety

of ways by the ancient and modern Sages of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and

Taoism. In Advaita Vedanta, the highest teaching emphasizes the complete

identity of the Individual Soul with the Supreme Soul. In Tibetan Buddhism,

Dzogchen is considered the supreme teaching and represents the nondual focus

on one's innate wakefulness. How beautiful the variety of expressions in so

many different traditions! We embrace this variety with great joy and in

fellowship in a.

No religion or teacher or tradition has a monopoly on the Essential Truth of

Reality which is Our Own Nature. In this context, a focuses on

the aspirations and experiences of individuals on the spiritual path.

Everyone interested in any of the Shiva and Shakti traditions, and the

related yogic and tantric paths as well as those practicing primarily the

cognitive methods of the pure nondual teachings of great Jnanis such as

Ramana Maharshi are welcome to join. The discussions are typically expected

to focus on Self-Realization, Kundalini Shakti and Its Manifestations,

God-Realization, the Goddess, Enlightenment, and various types of Samadhis

(Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa). Discussion of various teachers and teachings can

also be enriching as long as there is mutual respect and a feeling of amity

in the conversation. Humor and poetry and other artistic expressions of the

spiritual life are encouraged and supported. May God Bless everyone with

Peace, Joy, and Understanding. May we all nourish and heal each other in the

spirit of Compassion, Wisdom and Love. OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. Peace to

all living beings
