What does becoming a better person means? A murderous thief can

become a better person, if he stops murdering, and just steals.

So according to your advice, that should be enough?

 

Since you love maxims, how about this one?: Think before you write. :)

I knew that, Sheilah, darling, but I doubt that

anyone here, but you, will consider becoming a

better person, enough. Most here, want to

stop acting like a person, feeling like a person.

 

Have a nice day too.

Werner, you made that sentence hard to understand, but

I guess you doubt, she is really my darling. You are wrong!

She is. But I'm like Jehova who manhandles his favorites.

And you are one of my favorites too, Werner.

 

Look at Alberto, I liked him too, but what did he do when

I tried to show him a little Jehova-like-affection? :)) He cuts

and runs. Couldn't stand to have his self-image disturbed,

what a girlie-man! LOL

Hello Pete

 

" ...Most here, want to stop acting like a person,

feeling like a person "

 

Do you mean that most people here are just waiting for

death or, they just want to become a " plant " or

" something else " ?

 

I think most here walk on the same direction that we

do: Towards self knowledge, developing of our natural

potential, serenity, love, compassion.

 

Don't you think?

 

Kind regards

Caminamos

P:Hola Querida,

 

Not at all. I only thought, that you did not give enough

thought as to how to convey your intuition.

The word person, for most people here, has still its

original meaning in Greek. It's a mask to wear in a

performance. So, becoming a better person, is becoming

a better trick with which to fool others.

 

We are here, hopefully, not to become better, not

to become, period. But to discard all pretenses of

what we are not.

P: Let's look at each goal you presented, and the words

you choose to express them with:

 

Self Knowledge. To know means to stand apart and distinguish,

isolate something from the rest. So can Self( if defined as

everything that is, differentiate itself? And from what?

Viewed in this way, it's clearly seen, Self-knowledge is

impossible. What is, is. When it knows, it knows itself as

the 'Other.' Therefore, the saying: " Love others, as you love

yourself. "

 

Serenity, love, compassion.

How can they be cultivated?

Cultivating means growing something by will. Can

you really will the above qualities into being? If one doesn't

feel them spontaneously, wouldn't any product of will

be a an imitation?

 

Thanks for asking,

 

Pete

Dear Pete

 

Thanks for your explanation.

 

We prefer to keep it simpler. Otherwise we get lost in

the black holes of intelectuality and rhetoric.

 

Hope one day we may share our thoughts as simply as

the Buddha did once, when he gave a speech just

showing a rose and keeping quiet.

 

For a purpose, Caminamos is not the name of a lady, it

is the pseudonym that a group of people (we) uses.

 

Kind regards

Caminamos

P: Dear one,

 

The Buddha knew how to tailor his message to his audience.

When facing beginners, he spoke of practice; when facing

advanced practitioner, he offered long sutras; when facing

one who was ready,he offered his silent presence.

You prefer, I think, to present the same exact message no

matter where or to whom. I prefer the Buddha's way, just

my preference. :)

P:Understood. I won't mention your former name, or sex

again. Although, I don't like, Caminemos, for a 'person's' name.

Do you like to present a commanding mask to the world?

Caminemos,is a command: Le't walk!

How about if I call you, Pik Sialma? A variation

of the secretive Kip Almazy. :))

 

Best,

Well, I thought it was Caminemos, but you're right it

is Caminamos which means " we walk " As the name of the

group is OK, I don't care for it as a name for a person,

but it's none of my business. I'm just being my charming

smart ass self.

<To be a better person.>

 

is a grand goal...but it come under morals/ethics...

 

spirituality...goes to the root and answers-

 

why should i be moral??why should i not be selfish?

 

- becoz there is no 'i'..and becoz all of existence is ONE.

I respect so much what you did those 15 years of Sadhana. But

leave the other aside. You always look the others. Leave the others

aside. I remember when you entered this forum. I replied severly

because you were an old practitioner! You arrived arrogant!

 

Ask yourself a question. I already asked you that question! What

have you learn during that 15 years of sadhana? Have you learned

nothing? You arrived all mix-up! Compare your knowledge with the

masters. I mean the litterature ( saints). Where are you in the

process, and start again from there! This is not a bad answer! This

is just not the answer for you to give to someone. Not at the level

you are or the understanding you already reached. You know that God

is everything and fills everything. So why reply with a childish

answer! You are suppose to teach them. With the response you gave

I'll start to believe that they are the ones who are teaching you?

Get up man. You lost enough time. It is about time you start to

understand!

Don't play the fools game. The fouls might start to imitate you just

for the fun of it!

 

P.S. You said: becoz there is no 'i' above. And this is exactly the

source of the problem Devendra people talk without knowing. And you

were pissed off when you arrived in this forum. If there is no

spiritual Hero around you. Well, become one! You could help a lot of

people.

If there was no " I " in you, you wouldn't be so pissed off and

confused when you arrived!!

this forum is for sharing.....im sharing my little

learnings and im taking in the learnings of others in

an eclectic way..nothing more..nothingless.

 

yes im arrogant..when it comes to confronting balseboy

and his likes...I AM 100% ARROGANT.the fellow got me

confused and threw my spiritual life offtrack..im here

to share my bitterness with others.

 

i am a lamb before the masters.

devendra/toombarus/alberto...why so much spiritual

pollution.??

When you say Balseboy got you confused then this rings a bell in my

head. Man, how those masters got me confused!! I mean, is it not their

foremost job to make the disciple confused to shake out his

belief-systems? If he got your spiritual life offtrack - this sounds

good to me. What the hell is a spiritual life? Does it mean you felt

comfortable because you had a life which would lead you to

enlightenment some day, some life? " Some day " never comes!! Does it

mean Balseboy desturbed you in this task? Rightly so!! If your

spiritual life was perfect then he could not have desturbed it. I am

relatively new on this board as you know, so I am sure I have missed

some discussions regarding Balsekar. But still, if you like to share:

what makes you feel so bitter? If he was not right for you, why dont

you just move on?

 

Sorry for hitting you, believe me, I love you and I very, very much

appreciate your sincerity and your rootedness in the tradition. But I

think tradition is what is given from one to the next... and so on...

so it stays ALIFE! Every master is different. ... I hope you dont

misunderstand me, I 100% respect the tradition where you are coming

from.

 

You wrote:

 

>i am a lamb before the masters.

 

Devendra, I was very lucky, I have lived 10 years with an enlightened

master. If I would have said to him " I am a lamb before you " he

would have hit me very, very hard! In fact he did. He said to me: here

is your sword, here are the ropes, cut them!!! And after this cut my

head!!!! He said: look at me, I am the same like you! And he said:

dont look at the finger pointing to the moon! He said: dont be a lamb!

 

He has told me the following story, maybe you know it already:

 

It happened, a small group of sheep was passing through a valley. A

lioness jumped from one side to the other side. And just while she was

jumping, she gave birth to a child. The child fell into that small

group of sheep. The child was brought up by the sheep. Naturally, the

child knew from the very beginning that he was a sheep. He never

became aware of his being a lion—although he was a lion!

 

One day this miracle was seen by another lion. An old lion passing by

looked at this miracle—he could not believe his eyes. It was

impossible! The young lion was walking with the sheep and the sheep

were not afraid. He rushed to catch hold of the lion. And the sheep

escaped, and the sheep-lion also escaped, naturally—so much

afraid, trembling. But the old lion became very curious, and somehow

he got hold of him, took him to the river and there they both looked

into the river. It was like a mirror. And the old lion said, " Look,

you are not a sheep. Look in the river! " Just the look... and do you

know what happened? A great lion's roar, suddenly!

 

Lots of love

of course my spiritual understanding was/is not perfect..is still not

aqnd is evolving..and of course the job of the masters is to shake up

our preconceived " comfortable " notions.

but with balsekar--whom i take to be a KID..it was the other way

round...i was on the WAY and he pretended to be a Guru ..and i got

attracted to his lofty talk and got cushioned into beleiving i am

perfect.........and nothing needs to be done....it will all happen

he shook my " uncomfortbale " notions and gave me a lollipop ..which i

found was poison-laced.

so he was anon-guru in a sense.

 

i found him to be a FAKE...i mean its uncharitable but thats wot i

can say.

 

i have moved on.he is not for me..but i refer to him to find out if

there is still stuff in him which i missed out....which others have

understood...

anywya he's mostly out of my system ....AFAIK he is not a Guru...

 

he just taking advantage of his intellectual power...and presenting a

one-sided interpreation of MHj which is a grave disservice to him.

no its only semantic.....wot i mean to say is i can nver think of

such disrepect for the MASTERS that i show towards balseboy ..of

course there is no blind beleif and the questioning,thses-antithses-

synthesis process is such that evry teaching /MASTER is subjected to

it.

 

lots of love.......
