Most people on here have reached a certain level of maturity in understanding what the dream is and isn't, to a certain extent anyway. Mutual respect depends on manners and manners depend on culture and other factors, including personality and karma. Yes I was blunt with you, but I really didn't want to go back to the beginning again with a new member who obviously had not done his research. That is a lack of patience on my part, one of my many many failings. In fact the biggest success in my life is understanding Ramana and that's it. Your post and tout, were in fact 'in your face', for members of this forum or students of Ramana's teaching. I didn't want to get into long discussions about denigrating Ramana's teaching-----so as I am Irish---I responded directly with no room for misunderstanding. I am making progress though, you should have seen me in my younger days when I was'nt in my sixties, I supported all kinds of violence and was in fact a member of an organisation that was responsible for most of the violence in Ireland, but now they are respectable. I was a political officer in Provisional Sinn Sein/IRA in fact. So you see everything is relative to the person and the culture. I am still a little to quick to be provoked, perhaps you could do us all a favour and not do it.....We welcome any discussion on here but indirect shots at the Guru who blessed this Sangha, for that is a personal attack on most members for believing in him, and he has never been proved to be a fraud or anything like it.In the end result we are all one and I hope the learning experience and love on here is helpful Everything is Prarabda anyway Welcome Brother........ONS...Tony/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
