expect nothing and you won't get so f***ing disappointed.

 

nothing is what's offered.

 

nothing's what you get.

 

there is nothing " more " nor " less " in nothing.

 

quit whining.

Hi,

 

Have been reading a nice book titled: " The Meaning of Life " . I read it twice, at

the beach, in

Phuket, Thailand. I can recommend this short and concise book of Terry Eagleton.

I should

have been reading papers, but it was a short vacation and I decided to take it

easy and have

some beer, too.

 

Now, the point is that, in my opinion, all ancient writings (hindu, buddhistic)

are taken too

literally and not metaphorically, as I would suggest. The same applies to many

christians,

jews and (muslims), who take the old testament for what is written.

Fundamentalists, with

other words.

 

These writings describe! Like in all other writings, descriptions are done to

explain, to give

meaning, to imbed (new) thoughts in an existent social infrastructure (Other).

The search for the meaning of life is not a sign of seriousness but it

is the escacpe from the pain of life.

Please don't be " f***ing disappointed " with my " whining. "

Like you say, " expect nothing " , right?

Maybe, if you walk your talk, you will come through to me clearer.

For starters, don't expect no one to whine on this funny site.

 

Cheers mate,

understand that it is not the individual which has consiousness, it is the consiousness which assumes innummerable forms. that something which is born or which will die is purely imaginary. in the absence of this basic thought "I Am" there is no thought, there is no consiousness..

The individual 'has' no consciousness. The individual IS consciousness.

don't ask me to " please don't " do nor to " please do " anything.

 

even if that kind of nonsense pleases you.

 

i don't " do " .

 

It is done.

 

i don't feel anything about your disappointment.

 

i was pointing out it's fucking uselessness to you asshole.

 

you mistake the finger for some dung hole disappointment.

 

that's not just incorrect it's dumb.

 

i don't expect anything from assholes but useless shit anyway.

 

you fulfilled my expectations.

 

so i'll walk my walk and you can spew your shit.

 

i still see your whining as grunting on the shitpot.

 

wipe your mess with a shitstick.

 

you might find that cleansing, refreshing..and enlightening too.

 

after all the buddha is a shitstick.

 

here's what you do..

 

you pucker up your lips in anticipation..

 

then you stick that shitstick up your puckered asshole.

 

that will be a funny sight as well.

 

LOL!

Bob,

 

We all are second or third hand people. Those who are pointing at

others accusing them of plgiarisms strangely enough must believe they

are unique. What a joke ...

 

Consciousness itself is a plagiary.

How does anyone plagerize nothing?

 

Yet everyone does it... even though no one admits to it.

P: Reading such book on a short vacation

to escape winter in a tropical spot, shows

a mind to which Heaven itself would be

boring without words. Well, maybe, you're

hungrier for enlightenment than for

sunshine, and you feel that obsessing about

enlightenment is enlightening in itself.

 

Or course, you are in the best position

to explore and learn from your own

restlessness. Why go to the other side

of the world, to read a book that you could

have read at home? It seems, you need to

make your peace with boredom. those who don't

make peace with it are sentenced to a life of

discontent.

who's 'everyone'?

 

if there's one or more in an 'everyone'..

 

plagiarism is possible...and most probable.

 

plagiarism abounds in phantom-land.

 

nothing has nothing to do with nothing.

 

plagiarists have nothing to do with anything.

 

they have everything to do with taking others' thoughts..

 

and claiming them as their own.

 

they steal.

 

yet there is nothing to steal.

 

paradoxical yes.

 

excusable no.

 

squiggly scrawls and screeching squawks..

 

characteristic of phantom sages..

 

are useless travails.

 

profitless barrens.

 

ridiculous attempts to make plain and comprehensible:

 

the not knowable in predicates of that which is not worth knowing.

 

plenty big foolish yes?

 

baba admits nothing..and ONLY nothing..

 

there is nothing else.

 

..b b.b.

Throwing your fecal vocabulary at everything you don't understand is

no solution, Bob..

 

Better shup up and get quiet.

 

A bit more modesty could be a beautifier for your poor soul plagued by

your usual spasms of arrogance.

OK wernie..

 

you're full of horse feathers.

 

now YOU shut the fuck up you dumb fucking dingle-nuts asshole.

 

there is no such thing as a soul.

 

you are no more beautiful than anyone or anything.

 

there is no problem..

 

so why the hell do you think there is a solution?

 

have a little more modesty..

 

rather than arrogantly thinking that trying to give advice..

 

to those who are much more modest and far less arrogant than you...

 

does you any fucking good.

 

there is no

 

such thing as good.

 

LOL!

whatever i am is only because of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, you are right he has quoted it, i sing like a parrot in the company of my master. i have no words, it is only his insight that is speaking. i am still in a cage dreaming about freedom. i corelate my freedom with my master though it is an imaginary dream it gives me complete satisfaction.

the first thing the little brown monkey N. would tell you..

 

is lose any and all " masters " .

 

the only thing a " master " can and does do..

 

is keep you blind and enslaved.

 

do you think Nisargadatta would like that?

 

or even want you calling him your master?

 

he'd slap your face for that.

 

maybe that would wake you from your nap.

I like that I'm getting you angry. Your passion moves me. Shows how much you

do care,

despite all your dog shit dogma about being the Big Impersonal Detached Nondoing

Nothing.

You're a plagiarist, Bob, and a bad one at that.

Your advaita sucks. I mean real child's play.

Please, Bob.

If you fancy yourself Buddha with a Shitstick, try your own asshole before

waving it at

somebody else's. Yours might be too tight, though. First clean up all that

dried up crusty

old dogma stuck up there.

And remember, don't mistake your Shitstick for the moon.

 

Take it easy, Bob.

Don't take life too hard.

Dear Pedro,

 

 

.....didn't travel to Thailand to read this book :))

 

I met a nice travel guide with whom I could see and discover the island from a

Thai

perspective....

 

.....where do you locate the terms: boredom, obsession, enlightenment,

restlessness, etc?

 

.....would you be able to stop posting in all those groups you are a member,

moderator or

even owner to?

 

.....how many hours do you spend daily reading and answering mails at these

forums?

 

Yours,

Ricardo

Hi Werner,

 

it is impossible to escape from 'pain'! It might be possible to escape from

unnecessary

suffering, e.g., due to pain. J.K. might be saying this by using the expression,

" pain of

life " .

 

Seriousness? In my experience people talking about seriousness have been, on the

long

run, the least serious persons ever met in my life!

 

Yours,

Ricardo

i remain blind & enslaved with my false ego that "I know" hence not able to understand the master & i become a prostitute having read teachings of so many masters but having trust & faith towards none. i become a chatter box muttering words that i think are meant basically to outsmart others. i am continuing to build my knowledge gained from the books with my identity intact so that whatever i say is not out of inner experience but out of my self pride hence my words are conveyed to display my knowledge of the subject & presuming others to be ignorant fools.

oh you go girl tiger!

 

that's so..so..

 

so-so.

 

not good..not bad..

 

just so..'just so'.

 

pretty ordinary.

 

it's better than a sleeping aid.

 

yawwwwwwn!.

 

and you're not off track about the " others " ..

 

the ones you presume to be ignorant fools.

 

everyone always sees 'themselves' in " others " .

 

and that's a dead on description of your own sorry " self " .

 

and 'bout your 'knowledge' of the subject..

 

lose the subjective self 'moment'..

 

and that 'object' you 'think' is the 'subject'..

 

the one you think you know so much about..

 

will dissolve into the unimportant non-existent that it is.

 

and what you are not will shine as no self ever can.

 

and you won't be around to pine away with such bullshit anymore.

 

actually..

 

you never have been around but you don't realize that.

 

when you do..that is " THAT " . as always, now, forever..

 

and into buzz lightyear's 'beyond'.

 

gosh it's just swell!

P: Of course you didn't, who would? But you read it

there. So Thailand itself was not enough to entertain

your mind. As you know, restlessness and discontent are

basic human problems pointed out by Buddha as one of the

aspects of dukkha. Even a pleasure like going to Thailand

is rooted in dukkha and leads back to more dukkha because

all pleasures end, and the mind becomes restless and

dissatisfied again. If you feel that is not a problem

in your life, I'm very glad for you.

> R:....where do you locate the terms: boredom, obsession,

enlightenment, restlessness, etc?

 

That is a bogus question. One needs not to locate them,

unless, one is studying brain's functions. Those are feelings,

and feelings represent a problem, or they not.

P: I think I could, but why would I? To prove a point?

I need not prove a thing to no one, including myself.

It's a harmless, pleasurable activity, and as long as

it's so, it will go on.

at these forums?

 

P: Two hours or less, it could be more, or less.

 

Generally, I do no thing that doesn't me give pleasure. If one

investigates the value system which makes activities

unpleasant, one realizes that much unpleasantness comes

from opinions and resistance. If one does a chore without

opinions, and giving it due attention, then one finds out

that it becomes neutral, or even pleasurable.

 

 

Thanks for asking, answering you was fun,

 

Pete

R: I experience dukkha. Not always but sometimes. What you write

might be true. I accept dukkha (I am fasting today)or other people's

dukkha. Sometimes I can help. Yes, it was a very pleaurable vacation.

Restlessness and dissatisfation and yearning and, and, and. However

these feeling do not reach the dimension of a problem. These feelings

are pleasurable, too. They give you a feeling of airiness, of

effortlessness, of warmth....Pedro, vacations are not bad!!! You also

have a vacation soemtimes, I guess. Don't you feel more freshness,

when you travel back home?

R: Yes!!! Very nice! Very true, in my opinion. I already know that

you do no thing that doesn't give you pleasure. I am very glad for

you! I have to do often things that do not give me pleasure. I accept

the challenge and after a while some of them can become pleasurable.

R: Thanks to you, Pedro! Excellent writing. I am glad for your

enlightenment but I wouldn't change with you. I can accept some

suffering. I see suffering and pain every day - directly. And, I

intervene and suffer, too.

 

I don't understand this obsession of proving in public

forums " enlightenment " . To always have to do things that give you

pleasure might become in the long run boring too and cause more

dukkha. Pedro, give it up to always have to have some sort of

feelings that you consider better than others!!! You discriminate

here extremely. Feeelings are feelings, not problems.

 

To become a man, means to accept things as they appear. Things do not

always need to be transformed in something pleasurable. Some people

expose themselves, accept the challenge. To be a good person might be

enough, i.e. to not harm others, to mean no harm, to be friendly and

open to things.

 

Yours,

Ricardo
