Consciousness is on both sides, under an over, the solution to everything. Staying conscious comes before not-knowing. Alfio.. "It is strange, the desire to show off or to be somebody. It seems so impossibly difficult to be simple, to be what you are, and not pretend. To be what you are is in itself very arduous without trying to become something, which is not difficult. You can always pretend, put on a mask, but to be what you are is an extremely complex affair; because you are always changing; you are never the same and each moment reveals a new facet, a new depth, a new surface. You can't be all this at one moment for each moment brings its own change. So if you are intelligent, you give up being anything." . - Jiddu Krishnamurti |

Well, while I know you didn't ask me, it doesn't seem to me like you're fooling yourself, but rather, just getting honest with how you feel and what you think about certain things. Doubt in the form of skepticism is a closing off, a shutting down and a way our mind shifts into the auto-pilot of the machine. There is another form of doubt that the Zen peeps call not-knowing, and it is the furthest thing from tom-foolery imaginable.  To say that I'm not my body or not my mind is not to deny my humanity nor the beautiful and profound experience that is happening by and through that humanity. It is, however, a very unusual perspective. One that is neither better nor worse than any other, but one that has a potential to illuminate the existential mystery otherwise known as soff ("subject object flip flop"). Isn't that when doubt is seen as sacred? And when that doubt goes there isn't anything that moves in to replace it? Consciousness is on both sides, under an over, the solution to everything. Staying conscious comes before not-knowing. |

A curious ~parallel story~ in the Old Testament. In Genesis Abraham came across this curious character Mel-chi-zadek (Melchizedek). He is described as, having neither father nor mother, didn't die, wasn't born. (He is also spoken of in the Psalms and the NT book Hebrews, where it is said: Jesus(Messiah/Christ/Annointed) is a Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek). I would love to throw in why I think these two pointers are related and how they are related. But I fear me bro would spank me with his stick when I do it. I learned, the hard way, to keep me yap shap. But yeah...there is Jesus and there is Jesus. And there is Krishna and that other Krishna....etc. "You keep your mouth shut!"
"Sir, yes, bro."
"Make me a sandwich!"
"No."
"Make me a sandwich!!!"
"You're my younger brother. Why would I?"
"You see this?"
"Yes. So?"
"Make me a sandwich."
"No."
"Okay."Why do Women have to do as they're told by Men? There must be some men who could make themself a sandwich surely. |

The idea of appearances 'converging', and appearing to an individual etc. It's all just gone a bit weird at your end. The difference between you and gopal is that you sometimes like to speak of an individual or individuation as a human being and I have no problem with that at all, but gopal doesn't have that context, so at the moment there is some confusion of concepts and contexts happening between the three of us. At your end I feel like you have been trying to squeeze too many ideas into one context. That's not very helpful. Weird how? I'm saying that everything that appears, appears to Awareness, which includes the viewpoint itself. The viewpoint is a particular collection of appearances (sensory, thought, feeling) that all seem to 'land' at the same 'place'. This is what I called a convergence) To you, sensations all happen 'here', thoughts all happen 'here'. Feelings all happen 'here'. There isn't really anything 'here' but that convergence of sense perception, thought and feeling, that is a viewpoint of Awareness. That convergence IS the appearance of a person. Tell me what's very poor, LOL, desperate, weird about that. How YOU do it is your personal sadhana. If anyone tried to describe your own-delusion you will REACT as you want to realize your OWN. What is your Power? |

My brother joined the jehova witness club... and married the Ministers daughter. He became quite disturbed. How is he doing now" They are extremely strict, you better never need a blood transfusion, if you do you will die. They tried to kill Mother along those lines they did. What made it worst was that my brother fell out of the top of a tree years earlier, smashing his ribs on the way down plus other bones and being married to the Ministers daughter, he wouldn't(or was it she?) permit the much needed blood-transfusions, he almost dying but he pulled thro after 9 months of agony, thanks to jehova. He then began to beat his wife-up and they threw him out of the Church but being a good-lad returned to the church after 2 years and they re-established their marriage, our Mother visiting them several years after that for a holiday, was NOT allowed to eat on the same table as them until she saw the error of her Jesus belief, Mother being a Christian. Finally after a week of NOT being able to converse with her Son, she became a joho and joined into dinner table conversations. But due to her age(84) and the condition of her colon, she needed blood to keep her-going and when it came time for her refill, they both reminded her she was a Joho and joho's dont drink-blood, so she allowed herself to get so close to death she became frightened as she was unable to get out of bed and attend to toileting herself. That's when she phoned me and my friends gave me money to rescue her.  |

Those that view the world through their peep-hole are certainly clubbish. Unless you or I adopt their pet-words we can't join their exclusive duality-club. There is a back door to the club, if you are willing to 100% agree with everything the Grand Poobah says... That's a bit anal ain't it. |

He became quite disturbed. |

Hang-in here... remember the yoga's are many.Isn't pining or branding what that mind does? By taking all-yoga's simultaniously is to flumox the Brains two compartments so that a third is found at the center of gravity. True. The rest I have no idea what that means. Can you word it differentely, please? Yogas created for the different mind types... of which there are many. The unified mind is found at the Source of mind. |

I don't know. It can't be good? A "peep" is a spiritual put down term which I believe has it's origins from this wonderful spiritual forum, it's a direct insult to anyone that is spiritual in any way. The thing is only E and a few others here use this derogatory term 'peep" Those that view the world through their peep-hole are certainly clubbish. Unless you or I adopt their pet-words we can't join their exclusive duality-club. |
