Hi,
I’m one of these random drop-in's the net delivers these days, you won’t know me and i am in tasmania, australia, but i have been intrigued by your videos on the net and deep but simple understanding of shakespeare !
i think i’m open to your insight and way of looking at him because i followed up on sir henry neville being the true author of shakespeare’s works and understanding his life SO opens up an understanding along the ways you think !
just wondering if you had ever come across him as there seems to be an academic conspiracy to blackball brenda james (not one of the “boys” so to speak, such as they are !)
it actually takes quite a while to “jump ship” so to speak, i spent a full week researching and as far as i can see it's way the best fit!
well i hope you read this and i would be interested in knowing what your view was, but understand you are busy, tho imo sir henry neville will completely invigorate the public attitude and interest in shakespeare as he is a far more interesting and colourful character and knowledge of him deepens one’s appreciation of the plays !

real hypocrite, had an affair with her zen teacher while married and now preaches against genpo merzel for having affairs
i really dislike her because she has no understanding of what zen is about, but presents herself as knowing, maybe i am projecting my antagonism for barbara rhodes onto her a bit, but i think there is substance to it
there's been a bit of fuss about it all recently on the web
the daughter of the zen teacher she had an affair with was complaining about her
she's actually quite competent,
just no sense of the insanity of it all, but what can you expect really?
probably iamovereacting, she is tough and self-assured, that self assurance leads to a stupidity in a certain direction, everything looks sane except what you do !
interesting interview on child abuse, she is in a disordered semantic pragmatic or articulated space that just gets in a tangle when trying to make sense of things !

i
take
a
very
pragmatic
view
don't
get
bound
up
in
the
theory
too
much
is
what emerges
from
pragmatic
trying
and
experience !
very
few
good
philosophers
heraclitis
and
schopenhauer
are
good
philosophers
but there's a large rank
of
middling
or
middle
philosophers
amongst
whom
i'd
count
aristotle
and
perhaps
socrates !
what's important is to get some solitude on a daily basis so that one can recollect and get some headspace to be more in touch with god/infinity/buddha nature !
with friends and family it's just a question of being more objective about them (and oneself and one's reactions !)

now
i
think
charles
bukowski
had
dai
kensho
when
he
was
young
because
his
father
beat
him
mercilessly
and
he (charles)
was
not
actually
a
hard
natured
man
the
thing
about
kensho
it
doesn't
matter
to
anyone
except
yourself
people
are
just
to
think
you
are
mad
are
strong
social
prohibitions
against
anything
that
disrupts
the
fabric
of

death

basically there
is
a
god
or
in
zen
buddhist
terms
but
it's
difficult
to
talk
about
meaningfully
and
i
don't
feel
that
religion
in
general
succeeds
this is really a riveting experience that really there is no possible normal explanation for and eventually totally dissociates you from reality or any belief in normative reality or the purpose of things
there's plenty claiming this, but it needs to happen several times and in childhood at least once otherwise you are never in touch with the dissonance enough
your
life
is
always
disaffected
when i was seven or so it happened spontaneously, but as an old it is (simply?) a reflection of consistent work and that fundamental disillusionment with life which comes partly from a totally dysfunctional life that doesn't/never works out !
people can only get what they can handle is one thing i think and actually that's not much, the real deep experiences have to be glancing or you would be wrecked, but there are gentler modes which can still be pretty rough, one just has to stay there despite always wanting to leave !
when i look at zen teachers like warner and merzel they are too egotistical to have got far and basically that's the problem, the degree of self intelligent abatement is just beyond them
kensho
it
happened
three
times
once
i
was
about
7
once
when
i
was
34
and
also
when
i
was
54
the
last
time
i
didn't
see
it
the
way
i
did
before
but
i
understood !
that
changes
everything !
