I don't have any trouble believing that anymore. They seem to have no clue that we can actually see them parading around naked. Do you think such folks are actually comfortable in their self defined imaginary worlds? As long as they get support from other naked emperors, yes. That's why camaraderie and style are on top of their priority lists. |

I don't know what else to call it. So much energy put into imagining badness in others. Yes, it's hatefulness, and so disingenuous to masquerade as some kind of love or interest in community. We've all seen your interest in love and community, too, e. Arisha has a lot more courage than you'll ever have. I don't question her courage. I wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley. However, courage, hate and a marginal grip on reality don't seem to add up to community in my book. |

Hmmm, it's true I've seen lots of club activity today, and it seems to encourage them to fall more deeply asleep and say crazier things. I think you have a good point there. |

Reefs.....do you think are you being loving in this discussion? Are you demonstrating behaviour of 'one' that has fully embodied love and is done with intermediary? Do you think there may be a bit of ego playing itself out? Coz here is the thing. You, and a couple of others, don't seem to ever self-monitor or question your behaviour, or look at where your choices are coming from. And in fact, you say that to do so, is deluded. So it seems you don't ask yourself...'is this love? Is this loving behaviour? Is this mutually beneficial behaviour? Who/what am I serving right now?' Now, no self-monitoring or questioning or uncertainty might be justified IF your actions were clearly absent of ego. But I think it is quite apparent that ego does still play a role in your life (and I am not claiming to be perfect either!). I don't hear 'dox claiming to have embodied love fully, I don't hear him claiming to be without intermediary. I hear him acknowledging that he is exploring. I am willing to bet that he does self-monitor to some extent. You do an awful lot of finger-pointing in the name of love, Andy.  I've just noticed something odd about 3 recent posts posted by Heterodox, it didn't seem to be his style so I googled it and in all 3 cases it was shown as quotes from Deepak's books. So I had a look into Heterodox' post history to see if that was just something he did lately or if there was a pattern. And indeed there is a pattern. He did it since post #1. He did probably the same thing during his other numerous incarnations. So I showed him and everyone else the pattern, he went into denial, you see me as unloving, James reported it, ... Well, lots of peeps going off into lots of different directions, all I can do is showing the pattern that's going on, what you guys do with it is not my business. I never claimed to practice loving behavior. That's your pony you are riding thru every thread lately after your joy and ease and peace pony wasn't doing it anymore. I don't even use the word love except in reply to others who use it. And this also seems to be a pattern, not only with you. My observation is that folks talk mostly about what they don't have. So the sick ones talk a lot about health, the poor ones talk a lot about money. So I'm not surprised that you talk a lot about ease and peace and joy and now love since I feel that somehow missing in your deadly serious and over-intellectual vibe. My observation is that healthy people don't talk all day long about the importance of being healthy because for them health is a given, it doesn't even cross their minds. Same for one in ease and peace and joy. So when I hear someone talking about practicing love all the time I can't help but see someone needy for love and attention behind the love talk. Just be it and then you don't have to talk about it anymore. I know you don't practice loving behaviour. What I am suggesting is, because there is obviously some level of ego still playing itself out, then some level of self-monitoring, or checking to see if you are acting from love, might be a good thing. I mean, honestly, how many gurus do you really think would engage in the kind of fact finding missions that you go on? I don't think it would be hard for you to see that you have a point to prove. Just 'be' it is good advice. Do you ever decide to 'be love'? I would say that healthy people do teach health, that loving people do teach love. Sick people talk about lack of health, poor people talk about lack of wealth etc. |

What? So you acknowledge that the love that the ''unrealized '' have knowledge of is the same love? Love is not personal, and yet it is radically intimate because it is not personal. Love is seen to move when the person remains 'still'. This is not anyone's personal knowledge of love. The comparison is as a reflection is to the image reflected. Do the unrealized have a reference for the love that the realized do? Is it the same love? |

I am willing to bet that he does self-monitor to some extent. Seems to me Reefs is helping him explore. What's your issue with that? I just said in the message I wrote. I think there is some level of ego playing out, which is fine, but if there is, some level of monitoring would be useful. The problem is that you see self-monitoring or asking what love would do, as deluded, and I think it is more important for you to see yourself as NOT deluded than it is to self-monitor or ask what love would do. |

No, but I'm not oblivious to the anger and judgment of others. I don't see anyone hating, I think that's your giraffe, and it does imply that you are hating. |
