Individual

[Guest guest]

Hi Noel,

 

Quote " A concept he didn't agree with " . Well, yes, and I agree. But I

do not mean you asking this question is a wrong thing, on the

contrary. I want to answer it even: Me myself, I approach this

teaching in quite an individual way. It was never meant by NM to be

chewed over & over by the mind... to start to philosophize and come up

with a lot of concepts. Personally, I think this is what is done in

this group, but you can take this as my opinion, be it a sort of

critical one. I come here once in a while to check the messages, but

I would always rather leave in an instant as nothing has changed: it

is all philosophers talk and nothing more. You can check the messages

and other replies later, and you'll see what I mean. Although

philosophizing is not the way, I think the mind is still the vehicle

(sort of) through which we reach understanding. I can recommend you

read Jean Dunn's books and also Stephen Wolinsky's. They are the best

ones, really. I personally do not prefer Ramesh Balsekar's style, but

it might be that for someone else it is the other way around. Another

teacher I think you should check out is Aziz Kristof. His website went

offline but the material can be found in the Wayback archive (it's

quite a lot of stuff). My impression is that Aziz was fond of

Nisargadatta but I think Aziz' understanding is even a magnitude

higher. Noel, it is really a individual undertaking. Take what you can

from any resource you find most suitable for yourself. And take a

healthy distance from what goes on in this group!

p.s. some time ago there was a web site of an Indian guy, it had a

great forum with really great posts far exceeding the ones here. I

think it went offline though. It was www.consciousnessstrikes.com or

something.
