Hi Dan,

 

In my eyes what Tony says is sound and he is right.

Hi Dana,

 

How is what he writes different from what you, and others here

write?

 

We all say the same thing over and over. All is one, there is no

separate entity. What he says about effort is right too, except

that just sitting and feeling oneself be, is not effort or even

practice. It's what comes naturally, but people re not natural

anymore. Cats & dogs and all other animals do it, though.

yeah... i like that tony parsons... he kinda goes against the

grain...

 

he's going against the traditional school of thought like u find in

nisargadatta or in ramana maharshi... those guys would tell you to do

this or to do that, meditate like this or focus like that & so on &

so forth... but parsons is saying since there aint no you to begin

with, there is nothing you can do...

 

like u, i can't find anything wrong w/ this analysis...

....well, some cats & dogs r fupped duck, too... i have seen some real

neurotic dogs who r cooped up in the cities...

 

....yeah... meditation is effort... effort to get what??? to find

one's self? the self is meditating so it can find it's self??? what's

up w/ that???

 

do u mean i com e on here & say the same thing over & over & over,

pedsie??? that's sad... r u saying i am predictable?? like a

statistic, a demographic? am i a number, not a name? jeez... is this

all there is??? what has happened to us, pete, that we have sunk so

low? r we not men???

 

 

but, generally speaking, i think that tony parsons is right...

 

 

we come on here & we say " i, i ,i ,i ,i ,i ,i, i ,i ,i... " forever &

a day...

 

....we just keep re-inforcing that ego consciousness... it's

addictive, like gasoline...

 

it's not even a consciousness... it's more like a fiction...

 

....a mythos...

 

....a will o' the wisp...

sorry for jumping in on a thread (newbie here) but your description of Parsons sounds very much like Ramesh....paraphrase " meditate if you enjoy

it. But there is no path one can follow. If you are destined to become a

sage you will just as you are destined to be a seeker. There is nothing

that anyone can do to hasten it or attain it. " Then he has been known to

go on and say if you have a choice between a million dollars or

enlightenment, take the million dollars. Then there is someone left to

enjoy it.

yeah... i see what u mean... ramesh was moving in that direction...

alot of people r moving in that direction... but parsons doesn't talk

about destiny... how can there be a destiny for that which does not

exist??? here is where parsons parts with ramesh... parsons claims

there is absolutely no meaning or destination whatsoever... it is all

quite arbitrary...
