Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Dear Gomu, Thank you for your comments. (And also to those members who emailed privately) In response to these replies email attachments are no longer permitted. Instead, these may be uploaded to the Files Page. I await further adverse comments regarding the member list availability before taking any action. Regards Miles ---------- -- Learn first what you are. This requires no sastras, no scholarship.

An open member list and free access to our email identity have not been a major concern for some of us. Yet, some members feel the need to be left undisturbed by unsolicited mails and advertisements, so that they can practise their sadhana in peace. Design of web crawlers and web spiders for data mining are hot topics of research now. Lists of email ids and addresses are commodities being traded. Unsolicited mails will surely grow with time. The level of external noise that we can take as we seek the Signal in our hrudaya will decide the time when we decide to shut ourselves up. The mail from Sri Miles is a feeler for the mood of the group. > > 2) that email attachments be disallowed. > > This is often needed.

The ultimate tool for deleting mind's clutter is, of course, atmavicara. Regards Miles om RjumArga pradaSakAya namah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for stopping by. ********* This RamanaMaharshi group was formed with the following objectives: 1. To enable members to share with each other, their perceptions and understanding of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi's teachings (in particular, but not exclusively, atmavicara). 2. To enable members, as sadhaks (spiritual aspirants), to exchange notes on matters concerning spirituality as a part of their sadhana (spiritual effort). 3. To inform members about important events at Sri Ramanashramam and Sri Arunachala and about Ramana Satsangs held at different places worldwide. and .... 4. To celebrate the life, and continuing presence, of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, in the form of stories, quotes, insights, poems, prayers etc. Please stay on topic.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Dear members as i informed you all as i was able to do it, i survived an accident. Due to the docs normally i would be killed instantly on the pedestrian crossing. Like some of you told me - i had no experience of this effects - a lot of side effects arrived, which changed a lot of the personal "spectrum" and are not easy to bear. To give you an idea: the legal doc, who checked the effects on this person, asked me: his first question: Have you got the feeling most of the time "not to be ""here"" any more? I just laughed and had to admit it. It is normal effect.... Of course he did not know that due to my "sadhana" this situation was not at all unknown to me.... To give you another example..... The dentist had to pull out two upper teeth and expected a lot of trouble --- i too of course. B u t in five minutes everything was over..... but the side effects of the three anesthetic injections did not change anything, besides the feeling of being a little swollen.... the sideeffects of these injections are the same as the sideeffects of this accident Soon i will know what this person will get as compensation for "invalidity"... Only now - after more than two months - i am able to answer all the unanswered mails. Please have patience......I will answer all mail...... thank you for your good wishes in love in GD sincerely yours michael FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Dear Michael, You are in our hearts. Thanks for the update and keep us informed. When I was dealing with a life-threatening situation I kept trying to understand the whys and wherefores until a wise mentor suggested that "Life Is. So the real question is what are you learning from this situation?" That perspective changed everything for me. It continues to be a useful question for me. It appears you are learning much from this experience.
