Hi Anna,

 

Its the first time I was reading some lines of Moeller, I didn't know

him before. I can imagine that he will impress with his pseudo

humanistic-phliosophical way a special brand of clients who also want

to be attractive members of upper class sophistication.

Hi Pete,

 

Is this Moller at the moment the latest trend ? Do I have to like him

in order not to get outed or is ok to feel utterly bored by him ?

This is not up to you to decide. It's a matter of order.

You should leave the first bite to the trend setters and wait for the

remainder.

Yes Lori,

 

Thanks for your wise words. My reply to Pete indeed was the expression

of my greed to march in front of Moellerian trend setters and also of

my fear to miss the trend and to become a lonesome outsider.

P: I doubt he will become a trend, he is too obvious

for the smart seeker, and too dry for those attracted

by fine feelings and metaphors.

 

In that long boring manifesto he just danced around

these wooden poles:

 

1) Humans need intention to act volitional. He takes

a whole paragraph to say that. Duh! Who didn't know that?

 

2) Humans has no instincts to achieve human goals, so

they need intentions to focus their mental faculties. What a

revelation? Nobel prize material!

 

3) Intentions are not incompatible with letting go. Letting go

of what?

 

4) Prioritizing is essential for effective action. Another piece

of big news.

 

5) Know your desires. Good advise, but not news

 

6) Thought is thought. There are no spiritual thoughts.

He could have added desires are desires, and

spiritual desires although needed at the beginning

become a hindrance along the way. But that has been said

often too.

 

7) Finally, he concludes people believe intention are ego

created and the desire of letting go is not. And so he leave

us with this jewel below as if it will solve all our problems:

 

" I am not suggesting there is something intrinsically wrong with

thought. But when we start to believe that one thought is more

valuable than another, we may become vulnerable to mistaking the

projections of thought for reality, and then divide ourselves up into

a never-ending series of inner conflict. Zen rightly points out that

right and wrong is a sickness of the mind. This statement is

dangerous, but true. Correctly understood it sets us free from the

error of believing the moral high's and low's of our thinking, and

taking these as absolute guidelines for practical living. The

discernment in this regard asks for careful and real conscious self-

observation. But when grasped correctly, this has great freeing

value. We will then no longer ask ourselves how to resolve

the `conflict' between intention and letting-go. The question

itself falls away through insight into that which creates these

apparent opposites. "

 

There, W, I sliced the baloney for you. Have a slice. :)

P: No one gets outed here. Hur doesn't believe in outing.

And the only way you can get outed from my lists, is if

you will start quoting Moller on a daily basis. :))
