b-You are already perfect (not)

[Guest guest]

Bob,

At the expense of not being able to follow up after a DEAD guy.......I

must say, in all seriousness, what's this I hear about perfection?!

He's of course giving the guy an acceptance of himself and in no way

means what they think he means.....right?

I mean, what IS this drive, this itch, this, this divine tension? I am

much more in tune with the Taoists or even the tantrics as it is much

more *human* and not to mention fun (christians: see 'sin') to be

humping your consort rather than thumping your concept!

Ahhhh....words can be so beautiful, and so meaning less........

your naked but in B&W,

Shawn

.....Dear Brother,

you have been really cracking me up --

God how beautiful you are!

It always amazes me how in love so many are with their beliefs, even

to the point that they can manufacture experiences within themselves

to confirm their beliefs. we can see this, for example, in the so-

called advaitists who are so committed to their concepts about no

concepts that they even believe they are actually experiencing no

concepts!

of course, this is quite a bit different than really experiencing the

freedom inherent in our own True Nature, but don't try telling them

that!

LoveAlways,

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. Welcome all to a.

....Dear Shawn,

 

the sun will continue to shine, regardless of anybody's ideas about

it. everything that has been said about the sun since people looked

up and started yapping has had not one ounce of influence on the

sun's shining. just so, perfection is self-evident -- what is simply

is. someone once said that spiritual practice is a matter of getting

rid of what you never had. in the course of that process, every

belief can be submitted to the inquiry, which is just a way of

standing in the midst of all that we think we are and asking: "is

this true?". we are not looking for answers -- it is the "force" of

the inquiry itself, not our effort, which burns through the fictions

we have assembled to reveal the simplicity of Truth, of Who we Are. i

am forever grateful to the Beauty of brothers and sisters such as

Ramana for encouraging this inquiry and embodying the Love that only

moves into space and time for the ever-fresh Remembrance of Itself in

and as the forms of all of us.

 

>I mean, what IS this drive, this itch, this, this divine tension?

 

.....It is the Heart's deepest yearning and, once we are submitted to

this fire, it becomes our red carpet to Freedom.
