Greetings.. Hi Farmer: Some 'thoughts' seem less welcome than others, usually those not aligned with the neo-advaitic beliefs..Be well.. If that would be so, then this should better be a blog and not a discussion board. But that's not the case here. Except for the Ramana and Niz quote threads there's no neo-advaitic rambling going on. There's only a little anti-neo-advaitic discussion from time to time - and even that isn't free of clowning and sniping. Seems pretty clear there's only an occasional passing interest in Advaita/nonduality on the forum, which is fine and mostly understandable. Those teachings don't offer the person much in the way of carrots. Posting personal issues or favorite pictures or music is a bit more oriented toward the carrot seeker.

He seems fixated on a 'reality', and as I've said many times, I don't know what reality means so I don't generally use the term. Apparently it's in opposition to imagination. If he sees it as Peace and oneness, that's okay with me. As Laughter might say, I've given up all 'claim' to the word and so anybody can define it however they want. Only pointing to something, as you are wont to do, yourself, E. In the case of my 'fixation' on reality, it is only pointing away from your own belief that ALL is a dream. ALL is not a dream. Some things (for lack of a better term) ARE real. Call them what you will. I suspect it's just a misunderstanding; just us tripping over words and ideas, but I've seen no sign that either you or Tzu are interested in understanding, just bludgeoning, so carry on.

Now see.. you accuse me of condescension, and look at you, you're so much better at it than me.. So, when people don't accept your preaching about "Advaita/nonduality" you imply negative imagery as their defining characteristics.. a thinly veiled attempt to make people feel deficient for not agreeing with your beliefs.. Be well..

You want me to carry on, bludgeoning you? Not fond of violence, myself, but, well, as you wish.

Not accurate, E.. i have asked you many questions, which you do not answer, you only recite your mantra.. you say you want 'understanding', then engage in open and honest discussion.. discussion that is not twisted to suit your terms, meanings, and beliefs.. there is fair observation by several members citing valid references of your misrepresentation of their posts.. are you not confident that your beliefs can hold-up in an honest discussion? Be well..

Be well.. Until you learn to start treating others with some semblance of respect, my responses to your questions are likely to be sparse. I didn't say I want understanding, I said the difficulty in the current discussion with B is likely a misunderstanding. Don't twist my words to suit your agendas. I'll address any specific charges of misrepresenting if you can be civil about it , but I won't comment on every vague unsubstantiated claim.

My post explains it very clearly.. but, this is your profile, feigned disbelief that 'you' would choose to employ condescension to deflect criticism of your beliefs.. always trying to use plausible deniability as your 'i'm right' escape clause.. condescension is evident by equating "interest in other things" with the social media equivalent of scrap-booking, while implying that 'you' are attending to the righteous work of "Advaita/nonduality".. and yes, i understand that you will try to make this about 'my' perception of your innocence in the image you have created.. I treat you the way you treat others.. Here's what you said: You chose the term 'misunderstanding' to twist the message and suit your agenda.. you stated that you have " seen no sign that either you or Tzu are interested in understanding", implying that 'you' are interested in understanding.. you picked a term i did not reference to misdirect attention away from the term i did reference.. Be well..

You can take it personally - your choice. B's quip by itself was very well done and I was appreciating his sense of humor. You do have a thing for poo-flinging. I was lmao'ing over your pics several times today.
