" > > Stu Is there a barrier? Or is there the activity of avoidance? And why would avoidance be only thoughts about who you are? What about feelings about yourself and others? What about the world you project around you, and your relation to it? Avoidance is an intent, is one's doing -- thus, not a barrier in the true sense at all. An attempt to gain something -- something that can't really be had -- endless frustration, the truth of which must be denied and avoided. Denied with easy answers, and pretty satsang gatherings. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the jingle-jangleness of their quintessential quiescence they lay in their own mental atraxis, as if it was not horseshit, but rather the offal of a sacred cow, and count toes and the bells thereon of the looney-like lineage of the da-da-da-dancing darlings of 'lets make a buck' gurudom. ........Without barriers or boudaries. Ah the sweet smell of dollars and enlightenment in the bank account. .........bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
