===================

 

Dear Tony,

 

I think the difficulty is that you have not responded to the requests,

questions and issues people have already put to you - even before the yellow

card.

 

In the face of the issues and questions raised by others you simply keep

repeating the same old sound bites, namely, 'the ultimate truth is Nirguna'

and 'nothing ever happens'. This does not constitute a debate nor is it an

exploration into the truth of Advaita and our true nature. On its own, its

just repeating slogans.

 

Yours,

 

Peter

Namaste Peter,

 

Actually I'm not trained in philosophy, I know more about history. So

after getting into Vedanta I was forced to cut to the chase eventually

and find out what it was really all about. Kind of like a coconut,

when you shake it you can hear the milk, but to get it you have to cut

away all the husk and then eventually break the nut. I didn't know

how to analyse the fibre or the nut so I went straight to the milk.

I didn't feel that I had to understand the molecular structure of

water to get out of the swimming pool. Most of the real gurus I read

wrote down very little, it was almost all aphorisms and the like. Most

of the fake gurus seem to give weekly discourses and the like. So

verbosity may not be the way to enlightenment. It may after all be

just a process of removing the obstacles that prevent us from

realising the we were never bound at all.

The first fear I had to give up was the fear of extinction, or the

process of creating new ideas to hang on to.ie/Saguna etc.Sure I know

we are in some kind of illusion and I play along with some of the

ideas but I never make the mistake anymore of not realising that's all

they are........Nothing ever happened.........Tony.
