There is? How do you know this? I believe I have experienced it before. And did it have a lasting effect or was it just a temporary tickle?

I had a different mind-set then. It was an opportunity missed. I believe that if it wasn't for the greed I would have been enlightened years ago.

No, Steve has something going on and he showed me the Presence. But he was working with damaged goods. The damage has already been done.

You mean when you were Steve? The damage has already been done. Joe you know too much and hold onto that knowledge too firmly....let your most deeply known truths go. Accept that you don't REALLY know with 100% certainty that ANYTHING is true. Your knowledge is what makes you seem to be "damaged goods". Let everything you have learned about spirituality, enlightenment, the nature of things, etc.,....let all knowledge about these thing go. When you see thoughts arising about these things, just say to yourself that "I don't know". And stop trying to seek Knowledge. Just BE filled with the Grace of God And Just BE Awareness and Alertness Without knowledge or knowing or the desire to know. This will bring you closer to God in your Awareness. Said a different way, you are one with God in a state of God Union already, but all your "knowledge" about spirituality, enlightenment, enlightened people, etc...all your knowledge about these things blinds you to your God Union. The Sufi's say "Clear the Rust from the Heart" so that you can experience God Union. A lot of the rust that gathers is your knowledge thats engendered through the experiences of your whole life. You have a lifetime of experiences that create your own unique pattern of knowledge, and therefore a lifetime of "rust" has accumulated blocking out the reflection of God inside you. Clear the rust from your heart... Let go of knowing...look inside at your most "foundational" truths, and let those truths go, no matter how sacred they seem, and the rest of the rust will fall away on its own over time...

You know, I don't like not being special, so I say everybody's special, heh.. I've known a person or two who say that some are special snowflakes with such sarcasm - with such venom, I stand back. So, I'm cynical but not to that degree. And I say the whole issue of specialness is misconceived, I just don't say it to Bengst MrG.

Really thou thanks I figure even thou everything is meaningless, and purposeless I could still be useful by atempting to reduce the greede in this world. The concept of greed is based on the concept of lack. Lack is based on the concept of limits. If those limits could be put out front and then unlearned and unknown then the basis of lack would be gone. And with that greed, too. So, there's no need to hide your Rolls Royce collection. You can still be a genuine guru. No need to be embarrassed about your Maserati in your garage. You can still be a pure Buddha and drive a Maserati.

With the concept of lack gone, and "unlimited" abundance preached by some so-called enlightened people it would seem one could also have unlimited sharing of all the Maserati's. Don't you agree? What would cause a person with unlimited wealth to be unsharing?

Just a little bible for all the new agers, who seem to discount the teachings that created the western world. I have yet to find a Buddhist shelter, or a Buddhist temple that feed hungry people. Lucky for them the Catholic church and other Jesus type people do or they might get killed by hungry people in the street.
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." ~Bible
