It is fascinating that people, Dan etc, think that I need attention. No that isn't it. I don't know why I write here, sometimes I disappear for months and months and then here I am again. I suppose it is to give the intellectuals a whipping boy when I quote Buddha and Ramana, for it wouldn't be proper to attack them would it? but Tony is fine. Yes its fine and I do have broad shoulders and it is difficult to insult me or so my wife says. The Buddha didn't talk of God but he did intimate 'something'( Nirguna Brahman), or it would all be a waste. Also his lessons were full of morality and non violence to all sentient beings, much ignored by so called Buddhists. It is not my way or the highway, I've said that I never talk about this stuff to meat eaters not on the spiritual path. I'm extremely tolerant and open minded. I am just mirroring some of your hypocrisy or perhaps some ringing truths. One cannot intellectually project oneself into moksha, it is only in the mind, thoughts. One has to walk the walk and talk the talk. I have sympathy for the animals for I know how they suffer needlessly to feed people's bellies. Intellectualism is tremendously effete, it let the Nazis kill 11,5 million in the concentration camps,Jews, Gypsies etc, it let the Ruandan massacre happen, it lets people die all around the world. I see no benefits from it all, they are never the ones that 'do', anything. Perhaps because they believe there is nothing to do, non dualistic speech of course. No matter how brilliant a mind,if the Buddhi isn't purified then you'll be back again and again, still talking non dually. All knowledge is false knowledge and avidya anyway. It doesn't alter the fact that trying to see mass slaughter and torture for food is really someones business, is so much crap coming from supposedly enlightened people. It just illustrates well my point about awareness and purification, much of which quotes I have given from Buddha and Ramana. I enjoy watching your mental gymnastics but you don't get my respect, just pity for the missed opportunity. Om Namah Sivaya...Tony. Hi Tony, Oh well -- you get my respect, for if I walk a mile in any man's or woman's moccasins, respect is there. I've appreciated your persistence, if not every single one of your sardonic put-downs. Perhaps there is a note of grieving in your voice, now that Bruce mentioned it. If so, and you continue to deal with loss of illusions, I wish you healing on your journey. Thanks for putting up with us, Tony. You're a good man. Keep on keepin' on... I'll "own" enjoying attention at times, not seeing that as "bad" or "wrong" ... If it's not your way or the highway, Tony, then open your heart and accept all, as is, be gentle with yourself and others ... I'm sorry if there was a missed opportunity, but opportunity arises, like the Phoenix, always anew. By the way it wasn't intellectualism, it was treating other people as inferior and expendable that killed millions. And to walk that walk of seeing others as items to be negated and looked down upon, as well as thinking the thoughts, and talking the talk. And many of the killers were vegetarians, including Adolf.
