This group has some people I like to use as references for information on just about every topic under the spiritual sun. Ask and someone will know or take a stab at it. ==================== Thanks Mr Big (I like to joke around too) Love your then and now portrait and your lily pads! =============== I agree that there are charletans and bonafides. This non-dual forum is good for discussions on them, their strengths and weaknesses. ================== Ah! Good! Then we shall take them on together! All for one and one for all! A duel to, for, and with the non-dual. All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand. BWaaahahahah ================= snip > understood it mentally and was himself bereft of any first-hand >groking. > Remember that word? >Grok came from the book "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein. ======================= BINGO! Thank you, I couldn't remember the author..I may read that again. =================== >Effort rightly placed prepares one for grace is the way I see it. Watts introduuced me to the East so his mental understanding was sufficient for the place I was at at the time. I went from there to Philip Kapleau and the Three Pillars of Zen and then to India. That would be from '68 to '72. It would be nice to know some of your story. ========================= I agree with you again! But, I'm starting to get confused... Philip Kapleau is a person? The Three Pillars of Zen is a place? I jest. If I tell you my story, will it reinforce the binding force it has on me? ================== I greatly enjoyed your website. Beautiful paintings with a good wholesome attitude. They speak well for you as an individual. Painting is a great way to meditate in the real world. To me Impressionism is to art is like Existentialism is to philosophy and relativity is to physics. It was passed by way too soon by the avant garde and still has a lot to give by way of personal and universal expression. ===================== Hope this doesn't get boring but I agree with again. Unfortunately I'm married and straight, but otherwise I think we could really go places! Blessings and art on you, Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Dear Shawn: > > I jest. If I tell you my story, will it reinforce the binding force it has > on me? Yeah, I guess it would. Reinforcement is continual except in those few moments of peace. From what I understand about those moments though is that they add up over the years. Any advancement is eternal and never lost. There is no telling what might lead to grace, even telling your story could do it. Love Brother Big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
