Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 What is this all about Michaelji and what is the deeper meaning here as you sent it to HS as well? Did I miss something? Love Harsha Michael Read [maread] Monday, February 05, 2001 9:20 PM advaitin enlightenment wars Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our regular scheduled broadcast with these late breaking developments from the frontlines of the Enlightenment Wars. This is your anchor-being, Whadya Gnolwes, with this special report. First: let's hear from our special correspondent, B.D.A. Sikar, who is at a hidden camp deep in the middle of nowhere. B.D.A., what is the latest from your perspective. Whadya, I'm here in the ultra secret hideaway of the Philosophic Panthers. They have been and are continuing to develop new and even more powerful weapons in thier campaign to dominate these wars. Thier latest effort culminates is what can only be a most devastating (at least in thier view) terror device. It is the lastest in new and improved Logic Grenades. Back to you, Whadya. Thanks B.D.A. The Panthers haven't made much headway in the last quarter of a century or more. Logic grenades aren't exactly new technology. Do you see these latest efforts to be any real improvement. Yes, Whadya, that is the key question here amongst the Panthers as well. To give you a perspective on that I have here with me one of the foremost developers of the LG mark V, Carl J. Idmanns. Carl, what can you tell us about your newest weapon and how is is it an improvement over your older versions. Well, B., may I call you B.? Certainly. Well, B., as you know the old LG mark III just wasn't getting the job done. It was noisy, you could see it coming and quite frankly, it had lost it's appeal. The mark V on the other hand is quite dazzling. It can instantly paralyze the mind and bring it into line with accepted standards. That has been our goal all along. Yes, we indeed do see the Panthers moving into the forefront with this new technology. There you have it, Whadya. More on this story as it develops. Reporting live from the middle of nowhere, I'm B.D.A. Sikar signing out. Thanks B.D.A. Now, on to other fronts. We have it from reliable sources that the Suffering Squadron has joined forces with dissenting elements of the Karma Corps. They are attempting to purchase a battery of concept cannon to be used in thier campaign against the Fortress of Doing. The Righteousness Brigade is still slugging it out with the Engineers of Experience. The collateral damage has been minimal over the past month or two. However, millions are still without serenity. The Meditation Marauders have been taking causalities in ever increasing numbers. Some say this is due largely to the efforts of one man, Kapitan Kundal. Some say that there is no such person while others attest to first hand encounters that have left them stunned. And the Free Will Destineers seem to have developed immunity to the effects of landed mindfields. At last report no one has been able verify this report. The FWD's motto 'Let fate be your guide on what to decide' was last seen as a graffiti on the walls of the Fortress of Doing. For a wrapup we turn to our resident analyst and veteran war correspondant, Imma Nutting. Imma, what is your assesment of the current situation? Whadya, we can see from here that the lofty Tower of Enlightement is still standing like a bright beacon on the Horizon of Reality. So far no one has made it there and come back alive. That is to say we cannot recognize any successful attempts to bring the Tower down to the common man at this time. Thank you Imma. You may want to get that twitch looked at. Well folks, that's all for now. For more developments in this ancient and timeless struggle - stay tuned. Whadya Gnolwes, signing off.

The piece 'enlightenment wars' is simple satire. Some may read it and just laugh!! Some may agree with it. Many may disagree. Some may love 'me' for writing it. Some judge 'me' bitter and hateful. Many will never even read the silly thing! Some may say it was inspired by god. Some may claim it pure evil. Many may not care at all. The infinite diversity In infinite combinations How delightful is the playground of the lord. HAHAHAH and HOHOHO!

Just wanted to put you on the spot! :-). I have recommended that Sri Zenbob, Sri Jerry Katz, Sri Jerrysan Rinpoche, and Sri Wimji start coaching you in private on how to be really funny! Once they are done with their tutoring, we will move you on up to Sahajman for the final polishing! You are a diamond in the rough! But a diamond is a diamond and diamonds are forever!

I won't hurt them, much. :-) I have carefully re-loaded all of the concept cannon with the confetti of compassion. The logic grenades have been reset and will only release unrestrained laughter. And the landed mindfields keep bouncing up into limitless joy. The real stubborn cases will be sent to you. Your hot and heavenly holistic breath will soften thier hearts! ;-) HAHAHAH and HOHOHO!

I need to check a new spellchecker I found, the last one I used on his writings made a mess of it... am still smiling... I'm sure I should have used a spellchecker for the Dutch language ...... I think we were not combative enough for him, too much peace and humour here.... I think Sahajman loves a scrap or two... we were I think shortchanging him... Your battle cry may wake him up... :-) Love, Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is Sahajman, did he offer some of his writings to the magazine... Wim We will do what we can to get Sahajman back Wim (as long as too many people don't object)and publish some of his writings. Sahajman is after all a comedian and we support comedy here (as long as it is good - are you listening Michael! :-). Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not listening, not at all! Making fun of the whole thing. It's a thankless job but, hey, somebody has to do it! Nothing is sacred. Worship nothing. ;-)) Recommemded reading: "Waiting for the Galactic Bus" and "The Snake Oil Wars" both by Parke Godwin. "Open and Innocent" and "There Is Only Now" both by Scott Morrison The Pelbar cycle (a collection of five books) by Paul O. Williams "I Am That" Nisagardatta The Bhagavad Gita, The Ashtavakra Gita, The Song of The Avadhuta "The Sayings of Old Ch'eng" translated by Mike Dickman "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism" by Chogyam Trungpa The sermon on the mount by J. Christ And if you do not care to read, simply listen. Listen to that small, quiet, still voice within. From that place, the wellspring of life, joy, and compassion, the truth of who one truly is - is revealed. Well, got a hot date with the Goddess of Thunder! :-) HAHAHAH and HOHOHO!

We fully support that here. Just trying to give you a few tips on humor that's all. The archives have some fine examples of great spiritual humor and satire by both Zenbob and Jerrysan Rinpoche. Jerry Katz also has been known to shine at times but did more funny stuff in the early years when we were younger. Maybe we will repost some of those in the future.
