Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 not exactly a " pointer " from Advaita but..... (# 5 guideline of 10) Drive Your Karma, Curb Your Dogma Swami Beyondananda's Guidelines for Enlightenment 5. It is true. As we go through life thinking heavy thoughts, thought particles tend to get caught between our ears, causing a condition called truth decay. So be sure to use mental floss twice a day. And when you're tempted to practice tantrum yoga, remember what we teach in Swami's Absurdiiveness Training class: " Don't get even, get odd.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Hi Tim: How is beyond experienced? Beyond sounds like something that is not here. If it's not here, where is it?

Taking " beyond " to point to Understanding, or " There is only X " (those incomprehensible statements sometimes uttered by those foolish enough to utter them) -- It's not an 'it', and 'it' isn't experienced (the limitations of language already making themselves apparent)... Only this can be said (as a gross approximation): IT IS, and 'everything else' is a sort of dull, faded smudge. > Beyond sounds like something that is not here. Oh no... " it's here. " But nothing else really is :-). Love, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first peek into this intriguing forum. Already I recognise some familiar 'faces'. ...and good point Michael- where is this 'beyond' located or rather, is there a 'beyond' in the first place ? I know of one dude who calls himself Beyondananda, or something like that. He actually thinks he found some state beyond, I don't know. ...and Tim (it's always nice crossing paths again) your clarification regarding 'beyond' might shed some light on this matter. ~dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
