One finds these warnings, not only in Tantra, but in Qabala and other lines of inquiry. It's a valid caution, in my opinion. I responded to what you wrote to attempt to convery my perception of consequences of dealing with energies that deal with us, and which are not separable from who we are. >> >snip< >> >Technically, my dear, if you do consider me as someone who is breaking >>his >> >vows, you should gird up your loins and get thee hence...

D: I agree. I appreciate the give and take around "dharma" as these hone one's awareness - winning or losing are not the significant criteria here. >j: i tend to get stuck in ideas. very stuck in ideas. but if given enough >evidence, i will also abandon useless ideas. > >so by 'combat' all i meant was a fun 'lets put up the straw girl and see if >she holds up to this questioning'. > >seriously. > >sorry for the misunderstandings. > >--janpa D: From my perspective, no apology needed - may I express thanks for the attitude with which you engage in such "combat" -- with love -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
