The evidence seems stacked against it. In any case, the assistance of a script editor is required to maintain whatever ruse is going on. I'll do it for mate's rates. Dialogue is not a specialty but beggars can't be choosers. These ones are for free: 1. When pretending to be a 79-year-old man one needs to find more subtle ways of convincing the audience than referring to others as "young man". This is trying too hard and tends to generate suspicion, especially when delivered in response to being called out. 2. When pretending not to be tath, don't deliver a thinly veiled tath-like monologue about false gurus. 3. Try to choose a name that isn't very similar to other sorts of names tath has chosen in the past.  |

In India, there is a common but sad practice. There are many fake Gurus. They often connect with a little known and slightly eccentric Sannyisan, they then copy everything he says, but says it in a way that is their own. If people start talking to the Sannyasin, the fake Guru will denounce and demean the Sannyasin. In this way, they get to have the attention that the Sannyasin merited. It is ultimately a failing strategy though, because soon the Sannyisan leaves after being ridiculed, and then the fake Guru has no new material. So he either keeps repeating the few things he learned from the Sannyisan, or goes back to his old material. I have met many fake Guru's in my lifetime, and they all had very interesting names. So please forgive me if I ask those kind of questions Enigma. When someone speaks with much certainty the way you did, I have a habit of asking very direct questions, please forgive me if I was too rude. No problemo, Steve. Haha, the hilarity never ends! Steve can never stay away. |

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Now it's turning into comedy again!!! Yes!! Faking being an old guy! I love it. You should have said whipper snapper. That phrase hasn't been used in mainstream for such a long time. It needs a rejuvenation.
Hahahahahaha! I love the new expression of Tath. Keep this persona for a while. I want to see the old guy go after enigma for something. Use some really old English words to sound older. It will be classic. Like call your food vittles. And talk about the quizlings and how you think Napolian was actually enlightened. Okay I don't want to spoil it for myself down the road.
Back to eating my popcorn.

We subconsciously know that variety is a key ingredient of dualistic happiness. Yeah, gotta feel down if we wanna feel up, though it's not even a necessary evil. Before we place judgments on particular feelings and start struggling with them, feelings are just different flavors of the same thing, and they are all enjoyed. So when Andrew wants to find just the good stuff, he's misunderstanding on two levels. He thinks he can find a one-ended stick, and he also thinks there's something wrong with one of the ends of the stick he has. Why would I say that a one ended stick is possible? It makes no sense because sticks have two end points. So a two ended stick is the belief in 2 absolutes. It is an illusion of the dualistic thinking mind. The actuality is that 'This' is non-dual in nature. There is the potential of a reality of unconditional love though. In which there is still contrast and difference, yet no conscious experience or sense OF contrast and difference. |

I noticed that too, many times. It's also interesting how 'free will-ers' are saying that they don't choose to feel good and happy continuously because they don't want to. Which is paradoxically true... maybe... possibly... somehow... Yup. Dat's true in a way. Mayhaps more accurately, peeps are happy when they aren't feeling positive feelings all the time. It's a misunderstanding when we say we want to feel good feelings all the time and never feel sad or angry or afraid. If that were true, we would never watch the news! Hehe. As Ive said, for many, its better to feel something, even if its not good, than to feel numb. Its a question of priorities and values. Watching the news is never going to be a joyful experience as such, but I used to watch it in the old days, so I can see the appeal. |

I once met a woman in India in 1956 who did not eat for nor drink water. It is not so uncommon. In Sri Yogananda's book he talks about many that live on Prana. The 'actuality' of the matter is that the body is an appearance in consciousness and not a separate object that needs to be fed and watered. The collective consciousness has decided that it does, and so almost everybody aligns with that consensus, but it's really little more than an unspoken agreement about how things should be. Yes. Do you eat meat? |

Maybe Andrew can build an extremely long stick, and travel very very slowly towards the happy end. Theoretically, it should work. The problem is that it's all relative; the length of the stick keeps changing. |

I may be one of the few here who doesn't like to eat. I only eat because my grumbling stomach wakes up the neighbors and I find it difficult to get out of bed after a long fast. I would love to go on a Prana-only diet, but it keeps escaping between my teeth. As far as I know, all scientific studies have failed to prove there are people who can live on air-only diets. |

Well then, hasn't the collective consciousness decided that we humans can't breath under water too? And everyone aligning with that consensus, seems to be a good idea... ;D I think the longer the awareness has to self realize itself, the better... Starving and drowning the human consciousness, doesn't seem the prudent way to go in the long run...hehe |
