Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 This is just my thinking..a thought shot from and to the blue.. It appears to this guy who is not, at least to his personal knowledge, what you could really say was Enlightened or Realized..though I am not so humble or inexperienced to state that I haven't had some fairly magical, mystical and enlightening moments. It seems to this guy as I've said, that those who really have tasted the Real..They Know! Those who only THINK that they have tasted or realized the Fundamental Fact, never leave you alone or leave off with pompous, pontificating words.This is done sometimes in very wordy statements of truth and experience. Sometimes this is done with short snapshot- like statements that sound profound, but are merely little clever stokes of thought and pen. Somewhere there is a lowly man or woman (walking down the street maybe), and they may not have much erudition or neat catchy phrases either. But they may reall BE THERE. And you know what..they don't try to explain it or lecture on it or any of that stuff. They are nice to themselves and one another and to everyone else, they eat and sleep and work(or not) and live out the reality of life as given and as ii going on and down. They have absolutely nothing to prove to themselves or the other members of the earth crew.I just get this uneasy feeling when talk gets too scripture sounding or over the top zen-like, that someone is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of those to whom they believe are giving them audience. I wonder if Buddha or Jesus or any of the big or lesser known Aurae, really sat around expounding on how they felt like they were beyond all things and no longer present except as a spirit- man? The videos I have on Ramana and Niz show them reading newspapers, playing with animals, smoking cigarettes(Niz), talking with and to the folks around them. And even sometimes losing their cool. So I'm just saying I don't uderstand this acting out of THE ROLE on some peoples part. But then as I've also stated on this forum..I don't uderstand myself even. So maybe, just maybe some of these statements of HIGHER LIFE and wisdom and experience are true of and for the people giving out the dribble..but again..I just cannot give it purchase. .bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Patricia and let us all give thanks to the American Indian who introduced us to that most wonderful of tubers! By the way, did you know when the first explorers brought back some potatoes to be prepared for a Royal meal, that the cooks, not ever seeing our dear little spuds before, didn't know what to do or how to prepare them? So they boild the greens from the top of the plants and served those. The potatoes first introduction to the King and Queen won Instant Royal Disapproval. Thankfully, later on, word seeped through on how our Aboriginal brothers and sisters prepared the little guys and Voila! Immediate success..mashed potatoes(which also became a popular dance with adolescents), French fries, german Potatoe salad, potatoe soup.mmmmm! It just never ends.In that respect, potatoe recipues led the way to coming to our understanding of the Infinite ways of nature.LOL .......bob > > > > > ** > > If you do not wish to receive individual emails, to > change your subscription, sign in with your ID > and go to Edit My Groups: > > /mygroups?edit=1 > > Under the Message Delivery option, choose " No Email " > for the Nisargadatta group and click on Save Changes. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
