TM, i've got to be impressed with anything


that can bring on the iranian revolution


(ed.  according (0:30) to rick archer , TM was doing a world peace meditative sitting session in tehran at the the time ! )
















for what it's worth, imo the two outstanding “teachers” in the usa are toni packer (sorta an advaita/zen blend) and george bowman (zen)


“zen is for men, advaita is for women !”


(ed. by that i mean they each appeal to different weaknesses characteristic of each gender as well as a dig at the gender blurring characteristic of them both ! )


btw , be warned about the 7th zen  patriarch, he's a known NUT !

email to patsy rodenburg  (24 december 2011)


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 !
















sir henry neville as the real author of shakepeare's works fits this “misuse of power” theme in his plays exactly as he was often on the wrong end of the stick !

she's a toxic bitch, part of the zen scene i was involved in


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 !

basically there


is

in

terms

it's


difficult


to


talk


about


meaningfully


and


i


don't


feel


that


religion


in

succeeds
















ifeel i am having to rebuild zen from scratch because it's all been lost so i am going to talk abit about dai kensho!


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


so


your


life


is


always


disaffected


it has to happen with adequate semantic content so you know what it is and how it might occur, and perhaps is , or rather is a form of epilepsy


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

 slashie :  a person who thinks their day job isn't their real job: busboy/actor; waitress/actress; waiter/writer; cleaner/scriptwriter; singer/secretary


amber and me would be the only non-slashies


doing what we do best which is pretty much nothing


others get distracted in things


well i am always brought back to being self defeated, can't seem to help it


i think ambers like me, the self defeating is always so close you can't ignore it !

you fail as you do it
















i do feel that as (ed. autistic spectrum) never do well working for other people

the


thing


about


zen


is


it's


a


volunteer


activity


you


are


devoting


part

your

to


these


people

the


question


is


are


they


worth


it

would


say


unequivocally


no !

most

the

ungrateful


bastard !


he


could


have

treacherous


bastard !
















there


is a fundamental difference with what is called zen


currently, i'm really taking it back to the sixth patriarch and it's daoist and poetic roots !


r


e


a


l


poetry


not


this


fake


fraud


stuff


they


bullshit


now


in


zen !
















7th


patriarch


zen


is sorta


both


krishnamurtis (j and ug)


and


toni


packer


but


it


does


take


advantage


of


the


continuity


of


zen

and


all


religious


and


wisdom literature and poetry


and


just


poetry


and


homilies


full


stop !

i am not anticipating giving transmission in my


lifetime


if


it


happens


to


you

it


will


happen


the


same


was

as


with me !
















so actually there is something called 7th patriarch zen which i have created or rather the sixth patriarch has recreated though me the son of a bitch !


solitude, reading, writing and the net is zen's new axis !


one may be taught or guided but teachers and guides are out!


look across the centuries and not to your own generation !


why does this feel like a kamakaze dive ?


a


lone


voice


of


sense


in


an


insane


world


the


divine


wind ?
















the big thing in genpo "roshi's" favour is he is doing something for money which is sane ! it is insane to volunteer your life away to something worthless which both brad warner and i do so we have that in common


for all my failings i pay attention to my health so it's not quite rock bottom, but depressing all the same !


the body can be like a sound house that you always carry with you !


anyway the whole teacher student relationship is screwed and not part of 7th patriarch zen nor part of the sixth patriarch's agenda


what is called zen these days is a japanese sickness !
















voynich


it's


like


a


disease


trying


to


conform

it !
