Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Paul & Friends, Paul, for my own reasons, having something to do with the Hallmark variety of sentimental interpretation many put on the term Love, I don't tend to use it, although I think I know what you mean. Here, for the record, is how I derived my " Yours in the bonds " tag and what it means to me. " Yours in the bonds " was the official greeting and letter closure for my college fraternity; so my use of it can immediately be seen (at least by me) as a somewhat ironic, iconoclastic affirmation that " we " (those of us who play the guru, yoga, advaita game) are a secret group, what Kurt Vonnegut called in " Breakfast of Champions " a kerass. That it also suggests a common bond(age) to Maya and a mutual intent to seek release, just adds to the resonance for me. A kerass, by the way, as posited by Vonnegut, is a group of people held together by some principle or commonly held identity that they can't really define, and some don't even recognize. " Yours in the bonds " is also a way of expressing good will and the fact that we're all in this, whatever this is, together. So... yours in the bonds, eric Nisargadatta, " Paul " <pjcote@l...> wrote: > Well, as a T-Bonds futures trader, my handle on the internet is > Bondzai....
