Dear Srinivas,It seems you misunderstand what I wrote...Here it is ...(the first part of the last letter)> Daer Srinivas,>> You wrote...>> "What makes me disconcerted is how> hermetically sealed this group seems...untouched and unaffected".>> This is a projection.>> The deep interest here is to discuss truth, other wise I wouldjoin a> policically- focussed discussion group.>> Are you sure people here are "unaffected" ? What makes you so sure?The "projection" I was refering to is the projecting that people in the group are "untouched and unaffected". ... not that the political issue is a projection.. .as you misunderstood. I was saying that you were quite wrong, as here, in my experience, everything is felt and welcomed, though seen as not who I am. So whatever knocks at this door is welcome. I

totally agree with what you wrote...>There > are always two levels of truth "the Vyavaharika (the relative) and > the Paramarthika (the absolute). to not see one is to deny the >other.You were accusing or projecting that others are "untouched and unaffected" (to use your words) ... and I have written "what makes you so sure? It is not the case here".Self-Inquiry is the focus of this group, and it is clearly stated upon joining. So, because this is the focus and people aren't discussing world events, doesn't mean people here don't care, or try to push things away,or are "untouched and unaffested" as your story implies.I just feel to clariry this to keep harmony among members.We haven't been introduced, Mr. Srinivas, so Namaste, my name is Soul, from Ausralia.Soon I will have the blessing of walking where Sri Ramana walked, on the beautiful Arunachala

hill.May blessings fall your way,Soul, "A. Srinivas Rao" <profsrinivasrao@ ...> wrote:>> Dear Alan and others,> > I dont wish to split this group as indicated. Far from that.
