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?

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.

Did you, miss something that is?

 

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!

 

Peace - love eternal - Michael

Thanks for the smile Michael. 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! (That's the name of a James Bond movie in case you

didn't know).

 

Love

snip -

 

Not to worry, Mark. 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!

 

Peace - Michael

Dear Wim,

 

If you go to this web-page

 

/message/13560

 

you will find a way to search the archives.

 

Peace - Michael

 

ps - Sahajman is not careful with language, no, not at all!

Hi Michael,

 

You wrote:

But where is he? Now ????

 

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

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! :-).

Satire with a touch of humor.

 

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!

 

Peace - Michael

That is fine Michael. 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.

 

Thanks

Love

Harsha
