Guest guest Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Mind gathers at its communal trough, searching for that rare truffle that will temporarily satiate its restless needs. The political creatures gather at the political trough. Those with a taste for things spiritual, congregate around the spiritual trough. In the rare event, when it begins to see that the only thing available at any trough is the same mind-generated slop.....the most peculiar thing happens.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Dear Hur, As much as I appreciate your contributions but in my eyes this time you absolutely missed the point. In toombaru's text there was nothing about repressing the sozial gene but he rather meant " see what we are doing with it " . Hur, have you ever watched your thoughts for a longer time, then you must have realized that 90% are inner dialogs with some other person. Is that a reasonable product of your social gene ? On one hand you see the necessity of getting rid of one's ego and on the other you are cherising your never ending inner dialogs. Why is that ? The ego indeed is a sozial intrument (for a while til you have found your place in life) and that is ok, but when it is gone then you are definitely no hermit. SNM had visitors gathered arround him til he died - was he a hermit ?
