Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Snipped from "The End of the Rope Ranch" (see description and link below) ***************** In a religion where "sin" is the bugaboo, "heaven" is the carrot. In a religion where "sleep" is the bugaboo, "enlightenment" is the carrot! In either case, the carrot is being chased by jackasses! The mythical "sin" and "sleep" are about as real as the mythical "heaven" and "enlightenment". In either case, it is not natural, it is un-realistic, and does the term "moose-poop-burgers" have any relavence here? Heh heh heh heh *************** You understand that? It's imagination. The entire spiritual path is all imagination. It's all imagining something called ego that has to be got rid of and then working hard to try and get rid of that which is not there. Waste of time. All spiritual seeking waste of time. Complete waste. Waste of life. ************ THE END OF THE ROPE RANCH This is a list for realizers and mature humans who aspire to such realization. It is for those that have been around the block one too many times and are now ready and willing to really start looking at the truth of and in themselves, at the ignorant suffering that's keeping them mired in the "seeker" identity and role. This is not a refuge for the emotionally immature or for those with psychological problems to work out -- the inveterate self-improvers, the humor-impaired, the "New Age" spirituality hobbyists and those merely seeking attention by gabbing about how blissful, happy, loving, smart, or even how dumb they think they are simply need not apply here. This is a list for those ready to cut through their own games, for those willing to wholeheartedly put themselves on the line for the undermining and the understanding of that whole nonsensical separate adventure in its entirety -- and it's for sharing the humor, the love, and the pure joy of finally realizing our true, newborn perceptual condition, a state that is not separation, but rather wholeness, freedom, consciousness itself. To those with hearts so moved, we invite you. TheEndOfTheRopeRanch http://www.users.uniserve.com/~samuel/judi-1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did at one point feel so moved, but I found that the invitation had a string attached, the end of a rope really. :-) Also I was really too naughty... Also my humor was the kind of gallows humor that did not hang easily from the end of a rope. Harsha wrote: > Don't go there Wim! HA! HA! HA! :-). Too late Harsha, hehehe :-) But I did not last, am back and alive and well... Harsha wrote: > Hey just kidding Judi. Good luck! Good luck as well, Judi. And I mean that.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Dear list, Do not read the following if you are into "heaven", "religion", "enlightenment", spirituality", "wasting time", "ego" and "moose-poope-burgers or if you are a "jackass."

All spiritual seeking waste of time. > Complete waste. Waste of life. Judi, your metaphors and clichés are as strong as ever! Now what about reality? Some original word or sentence for a chance, your own maybe? This is still (with all due respect) 'Da Free John' rehash, but gone sour or even bitter. > To those with hearts so moved, we invite you. Aren't you shadow fighting these self created imaginations yourself by doing what you are doing with this very invitation. Aren't you recruiting from an imaginary and deluded population. Aren't the people that you are inviting just in your imagination as well? And when they turn out to be real... what do you do with them? Do you still make them 'go away' by list moderation or excommunication? Why do you keep differentiating reality and imagination in your particular way, is there perchance a problem with your reality and your imagination? Why not just deal with what's real... and leave the imagined alone... Love, Wim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Dear Judi, You wrote to Harsha: > But you're probably right, people will not it like it at the Ranch, > they will not like it one bit! :-)) So why inviting them? Are you looking for masochists with happy faces :-))? I liked it well enough, I should say, you just would not let me stay. You seemed to have trouble with me. You moderated me and eventually struck me off your list. Hope you did not feel you wasted your time on me. According to your definitions I'm probably an imaginary, heaven seeking, carrot eating jackass making doo for legendary moose-poop-burgers. Anyway what is wrong with moose and jackasses? And poo...? Indeed! You ability to dislike and disdain seems rather deeply rooted. Lighten up Judy, love a little... here's rooting for you.
