Bill P: Exactly, Bill. What is sad about all this is that most of what he writes is correct, yet he thinks it must be backed up by a faked archetypical identity ( the mountain monk.) That points to book learning only, and insecure persona is typing those thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with enough practice one can come to learn to speak " nondual correct " . The result is someone who seems to say the " right things " but there is not a real ring to what they say. To me the mark of someone who is really speaking from within and not " conjuring truths " is a quality of freshness. I can't define it, but I know it when I see it. Some of Stuart's recent posts, for example, I see having that quality. They may be rough, unpolished, but they have an unmistakable quality of originality, of one who is struggling to put into words from actual experience rather than assembling words from other words.
