neo-advaita or zen  it doesn't matter,  flakes and fakes  who can only sustain the illusion of their misguided self importance by banning and censoring, well if looking good is what's important to you, then that's what you get ................. :-)

well, well joan has actually asked to be left alone which is a major improvement on others, that's actually a considerable maturity, tho really quite sad, but menopause is not kind to women and i can see abit where she is coming from

why people fluff around preferring the illusory comfort my removal from their sphere gives i do not know, but one just sees it again and again as they rip themselves bloody dancing in the thorn bushes, but hey, so am i :-)

joan you are first person i have come across on the web to be honest about your personal boundaries and limitations (for your information brad warner and jeff foster were not honest at all)

when i look at my life and yours the flesh literally hangs from us with our guts ripped out, i think in respect of that and some basic honesty and skill in your approach i am going to honor your request to be left alone and please feel free to remove my posts, it is you i am talking to and not some imagined audience that i will benefit from : -)

ramana never censored,

   he could actually handle what was brought to him :-),

   these latter day fakes who pretend to his understanding :-)

and actually if you are honest joan,

you had significant differences of opinion

with tony packer as well

regarding your understanding

i'm not telling you anything new or what you don't know

there he encounters a beautiful young woman, but afterwards he finds it impossible to locate the strange estate, and the mysterious girl.

before his search comes to an end, a bungled suicide will leave one character disfigured; a brief affair in Paris will lead a young woman to the streets. ”

interesting  interview  about warhol he wasn't untalented but his product was commercial with the associated limitations, but who wants to starve except neo‑advaita and non dual teachers :o)

my god van gogh's life is a revelation, poisoned by the heavy metals in his paints ! : o(

maybe syphilis as well?

the advaita cliché of  “everything is exactly as it should be...it couldn't be otherwise”  is actually quite damaged and nutty and a typical misperception, what is misperceived in this case is that  “what occurs is true”,  there is some some fundamental reality underlying that which is very far from the idea that everything is exactly as it should be which is some soppy americanization of islamic and hindu fatalism : o)

advaita, neo-advaita and non-duality is so thick with schizophrenia, nutty spaced out and untested hypotheses and the chucking and catching of toxic balls of nonsense like they were thoughtfully arranged bouquets of flowers rather than the lurid farcical dioxin laced  andy warholism's  they are has made me really question the world i guess, that it occurs is true and so the world is like this, but one personally doesn't have to buy into it or support it like the teaching flakes like jeff foster do !

the below is a translation of chapter 33 of the dao de jing by arthur waley, my reply follows : o)

to understand others is to have knowledge

to understand oneself is to be illumined

to conquer others needs strength

to conquer oneself is harder still

to be content with what one has is to be rich

he that works through violence may get his way

but only what stays in its place

can endure

when one dies one is not lost; there is no other longevity.

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

to understand others is a dream

to understand oneself is impossible

to conquer others cannot be done

to conquer oneself is voynich

to be content with what one has is to be blind

 he that works with violence gets violence !

what stays in place fades even as we talk of it

when one dies the world is lost

 the BCD and  compendium  give longevity !
