i was thinking of making a   supreme wanker award  for the  new  hardcore zen blog, the three finalists are jinzang, ted and fred with brad warner a lame 4th


it's a close finish, but TED is a clear winner : o )


fred is just a bit insane to be clearly only a supreme wanker




anonymouse replies:


honestly andrew, those guys don't seem any more crazy than you do, just a lot more boring. and they are so sincere that they could be retarded. brad fixed his blog, like i fixed my german shepard.




my


reply


the problem is they are not as crazy as me !


you see you understand so little of what this is about that you don't understand that you really have to be completely crazy to talk with and see buddha !


see when i call fred insane it's cause he actually has some natural aptitude, unfortunately he has something wrong with his brain, but “many are called”


i think one of brad's problems is fact he is really not crazy enough !


anyway, he's left us here and moved on in his own direction, so i guess this “ last of the mohicans ” will fade.............


you guys are just so suburban, you just have no idea how extreme things get to “see buddha”


course you never do so you think all this shit you blather means something !

an interesting  study  on the problem of being stigmatized by scars from cutting and self-injury !


i was actually thinking that society is some ways is more tolerant of "mild" drug use because it leaves less bodily physical signs


that as humans we are acutely sensitive to anything physically different in others for evolutionarily driven breeding fitness reasons


that actually the scarring is a reinforcing factor driving the continuation of cutting because of the necessity of secrecy and the fear of ostracism


so, in my view, the problem with cutting might be most helpfully viewed as the ongoing alienation in life that the scars induct and for young people, the scarring also will drive away the better quality potential partners


that is, the scars signal suicidalness and problems that warn against emotional entanglement


of course, the notion of a quality partner and oneself being a better quality partner might be new to some !

a rather lovely and gentle poem  written by emily dickinson



the savior must have been


  a docile gentleman --


to come so far so cold a day


   for little fellowmen __



the road to bethlehem


since he and i were boys


was leveled, but for that ’twould be


   a rugged billion miles ____




my comments :


she just means saviour as synonym for infinity


well being infinity of course it's all things including falsity, but it also is/can be gentle


well why should she write that, she had a lot of trouble with her eyes through her life and died of kidney disease and was autistic


there are spaces of infinity we can enter that are gentle


benign for a while, but not forever


the  compendium  supps and hrt and blood donation are benign spaces


bit fragile of course




another version with  night  replacing  day  which she sent to the family of her niece and nephew as remembered by her niece martha dickenson bianci



“ here is one she sent us at Christmastime, with one of her beautifully iced cakes ”



















where people get stopped in the so called  “spiritual search ”  i think is they do not accept that love is an illusion !


to understand this you have to have a very different brain


and a traumatized life with a strong inclination to make sense of it all


unexpectedly this is not the usual human lot !  ; o )




eileen asks


isn't that saying it's unreal?



my reply


well not so much that as an illusion, a facsimile


sort of


it's not without reality


tho we tend to trample over that part



eileen asks


 facsimile of what ?

i don't watch horror movies, mainly because they make me afraid of the dark which is not helpful to spending time outside at night


but that  one  has always made a big impact on me


it's very hard to understand what happens in the spiritual scene, endless repetition of clichés like they are doing something and it seems to make more sense in terms of the living dead and zombies

it's really good and has commercial potential imo


that picture is creative and the spiritual scene is the antithesis of creativity !

  Bloody Heroes


( blog post by brian kellet author of  “blood sweat and tea”  june, 2012 )


“ I like the police, I like police blogs and I've worked with them a lot. They, like the NHS, are being stuffed over by the government - numbers cut, pensions stolen, creeping privatisation. I know that there are a few knobs let's face it there are knobs in any workforce. As I said to a student nurse this week, 'It's easy to be a shit nurse, and you won't get fired for being a shit nurse, only for being a criminally shit nurse, but do you really want to be a shit nurse?'. the same goes for the police, doctors, teachers and street cleaners.


Sadly a lot of people concentrate on the shit ones. Like a lot of (ex?)bloggers I like to redress the balance occasionally.


I was at work and was asked for some advice - six officers had brought in a patient who, in the grip of their mental illness, had waved a knife around and then, as the police arrived had slashed his own neck. The police officers, without the chance to put on gloves, splash googles, etc, had then rushed him to disarm him and stop him from killing himself. It turns out that the patient had some nasty blood-borne diseases and the officer wanted to know if they were at risk. Especially as one of the other officers had open wounds from a previous arrest.


These men and women had put themselves at considerable risk in order to stop someone killing themselves. Heroes the lot of them - but I doubt they'll be on the front page of the papers.


But you watch the government attack the police as they prepare to privatise them. ”




-----------------



selfless is a sucker, they should have let that guy kill himself and who is to say he was wrong?


life is not always worth living and obviously he had his own views on that


heroes or idiots?



------------------



my later reply


yeah, people who are not exposed to these risks are all for others taking them !


those officers will have learnt i am sure and not take that risk again !


had that officer contracted a blood borne disease what would have happened to him?


biffed out of the police force for sure with minimal compensation !


imv brian kellet's health has been damaged and continues to be damaged by constant working with infectious people


it's not the fifties, there are a huge amount of contagious viruses and illnesses with any number of drug addicts and alcoholics and people just plain careless and stupid about health and diet, only a fuckwit exposes themselves to what is a real danger with these people !


------------------



and yet later reply  : o )


the risk reward is all wrong and if these people are doing something worthwhile why don't they get paid conmensurate with the risk ?


when they pay the navvies in the health and police system like they pay doctors then there might be something to it !


really you people who are so for the lower ranks of the police force and health system taking these risks are the ones who also object to them being paid commensurate with risk,  i.e. at doctor pay levels!

“ the restlessness seems to be impatience with teacher/seekers at some "earlier stage" that are presenting themselves in an annoying fashion at nonduality meetings as further along than they are, suffering from delusions of grandeur, or as egoless when ego is evident. ”

your comment is awaiting moderation. (yeah, forever on the new hczb)


lol comments by the sane


now for the mad ; o )


a good  interview  with shunryu suzuki, he really has a different view, perhaps some of the bullshit artists on this blog (ed. hcz) can see where they are going wrong by comparison


not flowery, flakey or ornate but a practical discursion of his life yet all most all the commenters here on hcz do nothing put spew forth specious bullshit and totally conceal any aspect of who they are or how they live


what is brad warners appeal? he is not afraid to be himself and write about it, but commenters here take the opposite tack, but being a hermit crab won't  save  you from the mantis  shrimp !


brad may come across as weak but one thing i have learnt about him is he can tolerate levels of criticism that would fell a a platoon of marines and that's not weak !


----------------------


rather pathetic really, all the phonies can wank forever on the new blog, but you delete the posts of most substance !


there's only poor health and bankruptcy in that lot brad, you'll never learn!


hopefully i will  ;o )


----------------------


well, it's the passing of an era i guess, brad is selling out to gain (he thinks), health insurance and an income with stupid wankers who will support him in return for not having their or his feathers ruffled


i'm not against selling out, but if you are going to do it, you might as well get a decent price..............


not dependent on these tight fisted morons !

the four replies below are all on the hcz thread  “ death  by buddhism? ” 











now this  study  says


  “ habitually sleeping less than six hours a night significantly increases the risk of stroke symptoms among middle-age to older adults who are of normal weight and at low risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), according to a study of 5,666 people followed for up to three years ”


now there's a fair bunch of people on this board who fit into that group, and really i would suggest that zazen is going to raise their risk of stroke!


if only all strokes were fatal and not the induction of a horrible half life of paralysis
















buddy, if zazen actually does something beside make you a mental cripple, why can't you actually say something rather than misthrow tomatoes


"by their works ye shall know them"


piss poor prose ain't a work !


criticism is actually much more effective if you actually criticise something that is said rather than floundering around in generalities!

proulx michel, while as seventh patriarch i have specifically sacked brad warner because i feel other life directions would be more useful to him, i'm not going to single you out for specific sacking because you are a nondescript , one hesitates to say "has been" because you have never been

well, that's the insight of life, we are all fools and no matter what we do we're fools !
















the whole retreat question is very interesting, i am starting to appreciate that you all have family commitments etc. and really only have ever had a limited exposure to solitude


even going for a walk i bet you have to take the dog!


now, come on, be real !


i think sitting is used as some sort of facsimile for solitude, but it's not and actually seems to have worked in a contrary way, digging deeper ruts in ill thought out concepts and entraining certain maladaptive ways


if the sun shines out of dogen's arse (it doesn't imo, but you lot take it that way) then as a celibate monk with limited personal attachments he was in quite a different space to yours (plus the TB of course  : o )  !


where you and buddhism (and i include brad warner) have gone appallingly wrong is you don't read around enough and there is no attempt to include what is called 'wisdom literature" like the wisdom of jesus son of sirach and sa'di's "the rose garden"


which is basically smarts or some coherent overall philosophic view about life and since you lot are so short on solitude (following the fictitious remedy of zazen) you are actually missing out on the part that is really accessible to you so you end up like crippled pigs blathering on about this and that in a truely waste of time way !

i think words don't do justice to thought often they limit

i think good poems can cut it so to speak

and blind and confuse what seems clear in the head often doesnt turn into anything that can explain well

not sure i do

question it

i ask y i suppose i ask wot too sometimes

not a lot tho

it's the question asking the question

think i understand that Lol

thanx


my reply:


so the sense of you that might get an answer itself starts to go

how?


u mean averts from it deliberately?


my reply:


no, its actually undercut

the sense of you is founded in the certainty it exists


esther says


ok

well i do

i'm alive

can be not alive

isn't that existing

in the physical

u think u dont exist?

altho i'm not sure we mean the same thing by that


my reply:


when you write a poem is that simply existing in the physical or is there more


esther says


if u dont think u exist why do u put so much into wanting others to accept what "u" r cos u do

i don't know

to b honest

wot do u think?


my reply:


we are a mix of existance and non-existance


esther says


ok

wot's the non existance?


my reply:


well that's the interesting thing, like being at the mouth of king river or writing apoem that flows of its own accord..............

or ocean beach and the views of the mountains north


esther says


well i agree the flow of a poem that beams in like it's not me but the rest i don't understand i think cos we were there at king river if we didn't exist how could we appreciate and think about the views


my reply:


ok, this is the really important part


esther says


u mean when u just stand with no thoughts and just be?


my reply:


in theory god , non existance whatever is removed from us


esther says


if that makes sense i mean were not thinking just breathing?


my reply:


however at time we are in identity with non-existance special moments


esther says


ok

think i sorta understand

u mean when we are not thinking about what "we" are were non existing

only in concious thought do "we" exist?

unconcious thought is non existance as we perceive ourselves to "be" as a person

i mean it's only when we project onto ourselves that we "become" i

i am this or i am that

self perception?

sorry maybe u can't explain in a way i can grasp


my reply:


no, it's those special moments where we feel we have been somewhere and come back and we don't really know where from but can sense the specialness of it


esther says


ah ok thanx understand that


my reply:


like a sunset or early morning sunrise that completely absorbs us


esther says


thankyou

ok yes that makes sense

know what u mean now


thanx


my reply:


esther says


funny isn't it all the "gurus" are not saying that at all


my reply:


yeah it is isn't it


esther says


suppose u can't market that Lol

everyone would just say ok i dont need u after all


my reply:


i find people can't start to approach this cause they have to let go all thier phoney ideas


esther says


yes very true not something many can even think about thinking about Lol
















anonymouse suggests i try this one out !


imagine you are in your house and looking outside through a window. In a similar way, you are looking outside right now through the holes in your eyes. but where are you looking *from* ?


actually the retina is really part of the brain, so the looking itself is you !


what you and i write is actually the looking so there's no-one to look anywhere from!

i actually think you guys (ed. hczb) use zazen like a hypnotic drug, keeps you from thinking and examining your lives (let's be honest, failures) in a real way !


you avoid the notion of failure, but failure is the lense through which life is revealed in it's true forms!

same with mark foote, you are both trotting out the clichés !


if you are in contact with buddha, don't you think he can spare a few original thoughts!


guess what


he


can!


that you are not in contact is shown by your constant regurgitation of clichés !

a quote from suzanne foxton's email to eileen about me, in response to eileen asking her what she thought of me !



he takes fluid statements subject to change that are attempting to point to something non conceptual and interprets them as absolutes


my  comment !

well it's total rubbish


try as you might, you really can't make sense of it, at the bottom its still essentially meaningless, the work of a self bamboozling master !


i could have written it myself, but i would be trying to put it in terms that the people i was replying too understood


i guess it's voynich

it's bullshit crafted with a bit of sense


that is bullshit dressed up as sense , done by an artist

that stuff is hard to pick up sometimes


this stuff is like a good art forgery, hard to penetrate

it doesn't say anything


its crafted to appear meaningful!

that's what voynich is, the big trap


skilled voynich can be hard to break


i think suzanne has been reading abit of my writings and has incorported some ideas of mine


which she has converted into voynich and very good voynich at that


it's like a great forgery


it's actually such good voynich only a true master could have done that

a very gender blurred person with a great female semantic pragmatic weakness


that's the whole problem with voynich, in the end it's rubbish


it's like someone partly taking a poem  (ed. eileen)  of yours and rewriting it

yeah she wants to bamboozle
















my former master  (ed. another bad dogen translation),  the old buddha, said :


studying zen is body and mind sloughed off. you get it only by just sitting; you don’t need to burn incense, make prostrations, recollect the buddha, practice repentence, or look at scripture.


now mark (ed. hczb commenter) if that's right and you go forward you're right


but if it's wrong and you go forward taking it as true then you are wrong !


as the only living person who has experienced direct transmission from the sixth patriarch i am telling you it's wrong


part of your wrongness is you think that is a crazy delusion and yet you take the crazy delusion at the beginning of this reply as true  : o )


yeah, zazen giving joint issues and raising the risk of a stroke is enlightenment for sure!


in actual fact i suspect the chinese were never really into sitting and it's the japanese who were


i think that racially they have a lower cardiovascular risk profile, tho apparently that is changing now as their diet becomes more westernised


joint wise they may be more flexible and train from childhood to sit in those postures


but i don't think that people used to live that long hundreds of years ago and they worked hard physically every day


the combination of the above made for less cardiovascular risk


whereas we are a different race that seem to be genetically disposed to cardiovascular issues, certainly not as flexible and there is research showing in recent years cardiovascular health is way worse amongst the young


happy joint damage and future stroke !

ok, i have got to the point where i can see that there is some point to the not very good movies clips you  post !


your blog hasn't changed in tune since you started it, is it in fact some unyielding groundhog day?


the full sir henry neville  quote  is interesting


oh, my lord, when we left messina to fight the war, i looked at hero with the eyes of a soldier.


i liked what i saw, but my mind was so occupied with the rough, violent task ahead of me that there was no chance that like would turn into love.


but now that i’m back, the room in my head that i used to fill with war plans has become crowded with soft and delicate feelings.


they all lead me to the same thought—how beautiful young hero is and how I must have liked her even before I left to fight


now the war is over perhaps you have time to explore the more fruitfull and delicate aspects of what is about instead of repeating like some circular clock

fred mike cross is a crazy schizophrenic which i don't think he needs to be !


how anyone can go through life doing half arsed translations when they have to talent to do really great ones if he'd just stop overwriting his own opinion over them all !


why not see your own craziness as i am sure you are only one step outside an institution !


being crazy is necessary from a zen point of view cause you can then step outside the boundaries but you stay in the wrong boundaries (self imposed knowledge you think you have about zen) and won't step out of the conventional zen advaita crap !


kobun was not enlightened by the way, just a better grasp than usual
















mark, why are people who do zazen so narrow and rigid, they are uncultured slobs who can't hold a reasonable conversation that shows any real knowledge of the world!


why would anyone deliberately restrict the circulation below the knee like that, s o o o dangerous to the circulation? (ed. sitting full lotus!)


do you ever wonder about your own obvious limitedness?

have you noticed with the advaita and zen bloggs is that everyone is certain they are right and are telling others how it is?
















what's wrong with zen and advaita and any religion is easily seen


because people who cannot consider that they are wrong A R E  W R O N G


can't even start to negotiate it : o (

an anonymous twit (ed. hardcore zen blog) replies :


hmmm... andrew are you sure you're right about this?

my reply :


well you're saying that people who can't consider they are wrong are right?


surely the process of considering you're wrong is part of the process of being right?

i was thinking how generally women have more love than life has the capacity to absorb, young children are so needy they can soak it up, but older children and especially men are more limited (fortunately for the men ;o)


so i was thinking what happens when two women get together and of course it happens in life and wether there was an intrinsic instability there because of the huge tidal forces involved?
