Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 ps- also, " for the record, " this email list (some call it a " club " - maybe they think that makes it more " personal " or " human " or something - but I call it an email list) is NOT comprised of so-called " investigators in consciousness " ; FAR FAR from it. Investigators know what they are investigating, first and foremost, and they don't deal in deceptive and distracting strategems in their quest, which, if you haven't already guessed it, is talking about EVERY OTHER DAMN THING BUT consciousness, day after day after day, and calling it... you know the terms... self, self-realization, 'this', 'that', 'soul', 'spirituality', 'enlightenment', 'the dream'... subterfuges one and all, designed by consciousness to keep >>men<< asleep and confused to what precisely is going on, thus keeping them " at a distance, " dazed and distracted for the remainder of their li(v)es. BoB Curiously, while meditating this morning a similar idea intruded in the silence. What is the use of labeling this? Whom is this labeling benefitting? Is labeling done to improve the 'happening' in consciousness, or the pseudo-self? How can the accuracy of the label be determinated? Would the happening change if I call it a satori, rather than a samadhi? I think all labeling comes from the urge to be sure of progress, but who is this who is progressing. And is the idea of progress not just another illusory trip? Can we resist this temptation to measure the imaginary trip from ignorance to enlightenment? Consciousness is dancing, and trying to watch itself dancing, and trying to label each movement, and the dance as a result gets slower... and a little awkward.
