Take my enemies within. Please! Henny Advaita Youngman

[Guest guest]

Yes, " mocking " is the correct word here.

 

The whole " enemy within " concept is such a cliche' that it hurts even

to think about it, much less witness people's blind belief in such an

absurdity.

 

Thanks, fmraerdy, for the clarity.

 

And speaking of words, I have finally come to the point where I can

let go of such emotionally and mentally-charged words as God,

Enlightenment, Self-Realization, etc.

 

Forget Transcendental Consciousness and similar carrots on the end of

the seeker's self-imposed stick (shtick). I'll take clarity ANYTIME!!

People's mechanical imprint of the gregorian calendar that rule their

lifes is the carrot/threat on the end of the stick. They follow this

calendar like robots. Is that clarity?
