Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 552. The enlightened one never farts while meditating. 551. The enlightened one farts when not meditating, but these farts are always very fragrant and are mistaken by others for perfume. As for the previous ones, it will be far more beneficial if you go back in the list archives and uncover them for yourself. That way, you can have the fun of discovery, and you can report at which point in the search you finally noticed the enlightened one. -- Dan --- Gill Collingwood <gill wrote: > I must have missed the previous 552. > Could you email them to me? > I'm sure I'll find them very useful. > > Thanks, > gill > > > Rule number 553 regarding > > who is an enlightened one: > > > > 553.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Hi Dan and David, Andrew, I, Gloria, and others had a conversation involving this topic (but at a much much higher and subtler level of understanding of course). If I recall, we theoretically solved the world's energy crisis problems through suggesting the use of universal diaper products for the human population which would trap the combustible gaseous energy throughout the day, compress it, and archive it. Every week, the compressed, archival diaper energy would be collected by the city. The experts would then unzip the compressed energy and channel it back lighting up the houses and stuff like that. If you look it up in the list records, it could demonstrate you are enlightened. It's hard to say. In order for there to be Masters, there must be Amateurs. Thanks for filling the gap! :-).

But to be serious (for just a moment) what does it mean to be 'spiritual'? I'd bet we could all come up with a wide range of diverse answers, opinions and what not. I'm not sure any of it would mean much. But if I had a definition of what's spiritual it would be all inclusive with antharax, silliness, planes crashing into towers filled with people, happiness, sadness, hatred, ignorance, love, romance, pleasure, etc, etc. all in there. So my personal definition would not very useful to anyone. Would yours? What isn't spiritual? Love, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Harsha, As I recall, there were cows involved in this scheme too. How else could we save the ozone layer? The frequent recurrence of the topic of gaseous emissions on this list is enough proof right there to show the spiritual significance to enlightenment. I'm sure it is also on the list of 550 characteristics, however not recalling what goes with which number is also on the list. The nuances of Bozzi silliness is another esoteric subject, as I find he is usually making points of such obscurity that they escape notice. One must look deeper than the obvious meaning, way deeper, as he piles the BS way higher than anyone might expect. Kind of like someone else...well, I won't say.

Harsha, As I recall, there were cows involved in this scheme too. ************************************************ Yes, of course. There were cows, monkeys, horses, donkeys, and elephants involved in our theories and discussion focused on how to practically harness the gaseous energy of many animals (not just humans) for productive and efficient usage to benefit the society and the world as a whole. No more dependence on oil and coal and no more pollution either. We proposed a recyclable energy system based on a specialized consumption of nutritive diets with peculiarly strong side effects for both animals and humans. I have been working out the details using the relative theory of generality, quantum electric phenomena as well as the Heidelberg principle of using large hoses that fit large animals like elephant and hippos so supercharged energy can be efficiently transferred without significant loss to where most needed. Thanks for all the support. Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is documented in the medical literature. Usually other senses compensate to some extent. The question you raise (about who can tell the difference) can be addressed empirically by the way. Perhaps if the utility of the answer could be demonstrated, there would be some research funding for such a project. We would need at least a 100 people to be "smellers." Naturally many Sanghis would volunteer (and hopefully Dan and David will lead the way, this being of special interest). Then we would have to request a few saints to sign up (perhaps Mike, Jill, Mira, Gloria, Eric, Kheyala, Bruce, Greg, and many others here). The next step would be to feed them the appropriate diet and put the "smellers" to work. The data should be pretty easy to analyze. I don't know exactly where this thread is headed but we seem to have a pretty good mixture of science and mysticism, don't you all think?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Dear... -group There is a science fiction angle ripe for the picking on this desirous gas issue. The book jacket would read something like this. At a far foggy distant future, energy resources are depleted and technology has de-evolved, eliminating hi-tech answers to the need for leisure class conspicuous consumption. While millions of lower class people are fitted with bags for collection of the valuable fuel allowing them to have an otherwise unattainable standard of living, powerful scions of inherited wealth and their families squander the last remaining dregs of dignity from a thoroughly deflated general populace by joy riding in hi-power gas vehicles and ironically bursting the anal bubbles of the poor with gas powered projectiles. One lone non-dualist gumshoe, Flatch Eulance, who has refused to wear the bulbous rear accoutrement for colleting nature's digestive revenge, is called to the mansion of wealthy self-made fart magnate Hiram (Pooter) Bean. Flatch is not only to discover to his dismay that Pooter wants him to find who has murdered his gardener and botanist (who had discovered a valuable herbal additive for increasing intestinal gas) but that Pooter is married to the voluptuous and intelligent non-dualist starlet of his speculative fantasies, Dreamy Rax herself. Not only must Flatch search for clues in a society which disdains his very existence, which he himself questions continually, but he must conduct interviews of suspects where every conversation is continuously interspersed with and accentuated by the distinctive sound associated with the movement of a volume of gas through a constricted valve. If you like good mysteries follow the serial adventures of Flatch Eulance in "Pooter's Dilemma". Well, how do you like it. It's just an outline but it allowed me to use some otherwise wasted theta brainwaves which have been fermenting for awhile due to a constipative art project I have been malingering over.

Ah, but's that seeming obviousness may only be the reflection of one's own assumptions, as you've graciously noted. And a project that requires the talents of collective noses is likely to disguise the simple aroma that is immediately present to a single nostril :-) > The saints are ready when your nose is back in gear! > :-).
