Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Hello Wim, Thanks for one of the more well balanced messages from you on this thread! But you talk about Jody. I don't see Jody's participation in this forum as evincing any need for self-inquiry. I've known him for several years on various lists. He is candid and courageous. Under the surface of his lucid writing, there's a depth and steadiness that suggests to me that he's transcended personal doubt and pain and suffering. Yes, he's feisty and high-spirited, which he's the first to admit. Look at Nisargadatta! You like humor. I'm philosophical. Jody's a go-for-it kind of guy. Body/minds aren't lumps of tofu. That is beauty. And it's one of the main reasons I like reading Jody's posts! Jody also knows Tweedledee from Tweedledum. That is, he knows the difference between (a) an ultimate doubt about his true nature (a doubt he doesn't have) and (b) a casual, conventional matter of being over-charged at a restaurant. To confuse (a) and (b) is to dance the advaita shuffle with the most slippery-footed. Jody's participation on this thread has been healthy and (b)-like, never (a)-like.

If remembering correctly (may not be the case), Jody has also talked about Wim -- which seems to illustrate the principle, "turnabout is fair play." Thanks for an eminently reasonable response...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Yes, you're right, each one talked about the other! Up till the time of Gloria's warning. It would be nice to have the response to a moderator's warning not speak detrimentally about other members, "So-and-so needs more self-inquiry." I need some oatmeal, going for it now. --Greg At 07:32 AM 1/7/02 +0000, fewtch wrote: >Hi Greg, > >, Gregory Goode <goode@D...> wrote: >> Hello Wim, >> >> Thanks for one of the more well balanced messages from you on this >> thread! >> >> But you talk about Jody. > >If remembering correctly (may not be the case), Jody has also talked >about Wim -- which seems to illustrate the principle, "turnabout is >fair play." > >Thanks for an eminently reasonable response... > >Peace, > >Tim > > > >/join > > > > > >All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
