Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I would rather have spam of this nature than the daily onslaught of " spam " of folks who are only interested in promoting an image of themselves here as some sort of enlightened Advaitic geniuses. So many here come off as dropouts from the Wayne Liquorman School Of Advaita -- and their only ability is to come up with quasi-Advaitic put-downs like they were Ram Tzu. As if. And to come here day after day and only find, well, childishness that would drive away almost any newbie from all-things-Nisargadatta, is a sad thing indeed. The energy of the dialog here is a besmirching of the knowledge. To me, even seekers should early on in their search at least attempt to protect the knowledge -- even if they are not yet clear about that body of concepts. But let a newbie come here and bang, bang, bang the newbie's ego will be jeered and trounced. It's tawdry. It's sick. It's dead wrong. It's fucked. Here -- a place called " Nisargadatta " -- we find a spiritual old west saloon where even the rinky-tinking piano cannot drown out the catcalled squawkings that are poised as if newly cognized sutras from the Vedas. If anyone gets offended about the above criticism, hey, bingo, there's your proof that you're part of the problem. You won't miss me if I go, and I won't let the door hit my ass on my way out, but geeze, surely this criticism of this group has been posted many times before my own rendition. I'll get back to you -- gotta think about this -- I'm going to dwell on the issue of whether or not my integrity requires that I no longer participate herein and thus be part of problem. This place now seems to me to be as if a bombed out church that is inhabited by a few derelicts who pretend it is the Vatican and each one of them the Pope, but in reality, all that's left out of the 1300+ folks who signed up here are spiritually ratty squatters shitting on the good name of Nisargadatta by being insane on purpose instead of wise, loving, caring, etc. Where's the sense of responsibility for others who come here for support, for a first lecture about Advaita, for guidance? Who's the owner of this group? Hur? I'm calling you out. The name " Nisargadatta " requires that you defend why you've allowed this place to become such a travesty.
