Here's a Sri Niz quote to get started: " I don't ask anybody to follow any particular path [of discipline]. I just tell them to be what they are, in their natural, spontaneous state. Stabilize there, in the beingness " . So then, folks could reflect and figger out what those words may mean to them - and see if they find this possible, impossible or what - generally explore and observe as self- research. To me a clue is the word " relax " . I doubt that anyone can get this " wrong " and there wouldn't be anything to argue about. There may be a question about certainty - recognizing this " natural spontaneous state " and remaining or stabilizing here both when mind is at rest and active.

(The Advaita Assholes can play NEXT week.) I am joining the Gravely Serious team and will focus today on realizing the Self: I Am That. I am out to " get " the Final Understanding and that's it. No more bullshit. No more playing around at being a " semi-realized swami. " Others can pick and choose (non-volitionally, of course) as is their wont, and perhaps some will be so kind as to report as to what their Pointless experience is like today or what their Grave Seriousness is like today. The winning team members will get a free one year subscription to Maya Magazine as well as some left over prasad from Bhakti Expo 2005, which recently took place on Staten Island.

There you go. I am 100% with you. A serious - no bullshit - kinda of day we'll have. No half-cocked, semi-professional slight-of-the-hand show-me-the-money day that is. ;-) /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
