RE: [NondualitySalon] Robbing Grace

[Guest guest]

umbada (Jerry M. Katz)

 

When I vision a way of living, of a culture, a civilization,

I vision very naively, because I vision a community whose

members may practice various religions, but who are capable

of seeing the essential sameness of all religions and who

know that sameness each moment of living whether living

within or without the religious framework. Religion,

therefore, becomes a human practice chosen for any number of

reasons, only one of which might be to enjoy closeness to or

the celebration of that sameness.

 

I vision a civilization whose people live only to bask in

the sameness and who see to it that others have the freedom

to do the same.

 

It's a gift that doesn't come so naturally to many. And to

those to whom it is natural, the gift, at one time bare, had

become wrapped in so many layers of fear-paper, that a great

effort is needed to bare it once more and to keep the paper,

via some static electricity of the psyche, from being

attracted back to it.

 

In the visioned -- not the planned or intended --

civilization, the pulp is not mashed that would give rise to

the fear-paper. There are very few seeds of that

civilization. I see too many leaders. Too many people

pushing their books and protecting their property. For

starters, I would like to see authors in the nondual arena

put their books on the Internet for all to see for free. I

think they will sell a lot more books that way. Those who

refuse to do so, I think, have not seen the largeness of

what they are doing and are robbing Grace.

Well put Jerry. Let us not rob Grace to pay Sally or rob Paul to pay Peter.

This is no time for Robbin Hoods! This is not merry England. Let us give to

all and give freely! All the nondual authors writing today should put their

books on the internet immediately. In fact, they should have done it by now!

I really mean that! Thanks Jerry for pointing out the hypocrisy. This needs

to be pointed out again and again on our lists. Our books will be available

free on the internet as well as in hard copy. The hard copy will have my

picture and autograph on it. Jerry's stuff will come with the nondual

t-shirts.

 

Love you all and thanks for your support
