Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Following a favorite teacher.......hoping that the wisdom that flows through them will someday ferment into a heady drink that will assuage the fear and pain that comes with identification is fundamentally no different than the end of the world scenarios that abound on the fringe of spirituality. Waiting and hoping for " enlightenment " is the same phenomena that entraps all followers into believing that there will be something better in store for them in the future......either in this life......or the one hereafter. But there isn't folks. This is it. This is the whole enchilada. No savior.......no teacher.....no messiah....is going to reach down through your own fitfull dream of separation and save your ass..........and anybody deluded enough to believe that will be dispatched through the grace of the Darwin principle. I was going to add a smiley face.......so you wouldn't get your panties all scrunched up.......but I just can't do it. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 To Roberibus and friends, I am astounded and amused at how pompous, petty, vindictive, mean-spirited and ridiculous you guys are. Don't you have anything better to do for Christ sake!! You aren't even clever or witty, just pathetic.You guys actually think you have your shit together don't you!? Which makes this charade even more sad. I was hoping the group could at least be fun and informative. Everyone sounds like a a dysfunctional codependent family during the holidays.

I have to Un to this confedeacy of nincumpoops. To paraphrase: "A little non-duality is a dangerous thing" Steve Agreed, it's absolutely childish and you guys sould be ashamed of yourselves and.........Oh, wait, you mean me, don't you? Well, yeah, it's totally insane. We've got Booboo who thinks he's enlightened and just here as the new Wayshower, then we have good ole Toom, fresh out of retreat and also enlightened and on a mission to get us to stop screwing around and get ourselves enlightened too, then there's a dude who comes along to tell all us nonvolitional beings to just end the search because as we all know, that's the REAL way to find what we're searching for, and then there's Werner who's connected to some device that makes him repeat the same stuff year after year when we really should be saying new nonsense all the time. Yes, pompous, petty, vindictive, mean spirited fits in with absolute perfection here right now. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here right now who's NOT fuckin around pretending that nonsense isn't the name of the game here. (Okay, I'll add you to the list.) In spite of the nonsense, I'm deadly serious about the Truth, and that alone is enough to draw insults from every corner of this forum, but so be it. Ya know what Truth seeking is really about? It's not about high falutin concepts and meditating in the silence of the emptiness of the nothingness of everythingness, it's about ending the pretending. The games of ego that says I'm closer to something that you are, more enlightened, better informed, more experienced, I know things you don't. When we get done with those games, then we can admit we never knew anything because there was never anything to know, that we're not enlightened and never will be because people don't get enlightened. All of us here are in exactly the same place, standing side by side staring into the darkness looking for the courage to fall into it. As long as we're playing silly games here, there's nothing. The truth doesn't begin with nondualistic concepts, it begins right here with the ego that just gets more imaginative the closer it gets to the gallows. Admitting that we're all scared shitless would at least be a beginning. That's where truth starts.
