Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Sri Alton: Do you think members will think I have a big ego for interviewing mySELF? himSELF: Those who are witch hunters are the real witches. Those who accuse others of having an ego have the largest ones. But of course no ego can be either be large or small. A small ego is still and ego. Some egos definitely can irritate other egos but when someone realizes their true being, it is all just a passing show without any condemnatory mental states possessing them. Sri Alton: Are you speaking from experience? himSELF: I am speaking from the wisdom aspect of mind; from the teachings of those who are in the Absolute state of the SELF. Sri Alton: I see that you have gone thru some spiritual cleansing lately, switching paths and then returning to the Advaita teachers. himSELF: I realized after 30 years of trying to reach a goal of God realization that it was counter productive. Naturally we are all God. A part of God is still God when seen in a holographic medium. Sri Alton: So what are you into right now. himSELF: I am no longer interested in any spiritual goals. My meditation is now just enjoyable and not enjoyable game playing. Just to become aware of thoughts and feelings that arise and when seen to bring the Attention back to the Attention is fun. The non-enjoyable part is when the body starts hurting after an hour or so. Sir Alton: What do you expect to gain from your practice now? himSELF: Just enjoyment. When someone has sex they generally just want some pleasure. >From Conscious Immortality: Q: If we want to reach the goal quickly, what can we do? Maharshi: Time is a concept in your mind. The goal always exists. It is not something new to be discovered. The Absolute is our nature. The trouble comes when you limit yourSELF.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Dear UNBOUND . An interesteing idea it would be worth while to continue with as a series .It has distinct possibilities for Sri Alton {who ever he is ?]and others .HimSelf knows it all anyhow .Love , In Him , Alan P.S.Have you ever read Wei Wu Wei - who also writes dialogues with himSelf from time to time .Some appeared in the Mountain Path .His real name was Terence Gray and he was a friend of Arthur Osborne .He visited the Ashram and met Ramana .He has had a profound influence on Balsekar and Douglas Harding .He was more of a Chaan Buddhist than an Advaitin Hindu , his OPEN SECRET is tough reading but yields nuggets .His other books such as Why Lazarus Laughed are easier .Still in print ,Hong Kong Univ.Press .There is a site under Wei Wu Wei,I believe . > himSELF: Those who are witch hunters are the real witches.
