I've been lurking here for two or three days, and there's nothing much going on here but banter. The place sort of shut down for the weekend too, which is often a sign that people are just using it for a diversion Monday to Friday at work. > > > > > > > > > > > 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. > > > > > > > > > > Yeah, but it's *their* space and that's what they're doing with it. Let people have their fun. Don't be thinking that just cuz a place calls itself a Nisargadatta forum that that's what it actually is. But do you know of a place where there *is* an interested group of internet forum people talking about Nisargadatta and what he taught? I'd really like to be a part of it if it exists. I've come up with this place: > > > > > > > > > > http://now-for-you.com/viewforum.php?f=26 & sid=132b4b92d77d2196be684cadaf3ff048 > > > > > > > > > > ...but it's really slow - I think the last post in the Nisargadatta forum was in March or April this year or something. (Interestingly, the Adyashanti forum is buzzing, as is the Tolle forum, and just about any other forum whose teacher is still walking the planet.

So, you're assuming that posting happens because there is a need for them?
