I'd rather think he wants to be seen as infinitely clever but has realized that his cleverness is finite so he has to constantly borrow from someone else. There is no someone else to borrow from. Maybe you're just not understanding what you're posting here. Could be a direct experience problem... Really? You didn't post stuff from Deepak Chopra without putting it into quotes so that it looks like you've said it? |

You didn't post stuff from Deepak Chopra without putting it into quotes so that it looks like you've said it? Nope. Just expressing other equal viewpoints in the moment. His, Upanishads, mine. Love is love. It's right here, right now. You and e put way too many conditions on it. Which sounds an awful lot like memory..... |

Time constraints. If you pull out your investigative spyglass, you'll see I wasn't onsite after the exchange on the thread. I'll bet I had more fun last night than you did.  |

You just want to play clever. It's not the first time you did that. |

I'd say your pants are on fire already. Like you're writing anything really novel here. We're all writing from the same consciousness, so there's really nothing new under the sun. You just 'think' there is. You're writing from memory. |

But you are just doing a copy and paste job and sell it as your own musings. That's your take on it. I didn't copy and paste a thing during the exchange. I've been reading him since 1992. You're rewriting Ramana and Nisargadatta's insights, and passing it off as your own musings. Yet you 'think' they're original thoughts. Ramana and Nisargadatta's insights originated with Vasistha.... |

You are clearly in denial. At least I say it is from Ramana or Niz or say that I paraphrase but I don't copy and paste entire quotes without putting them into quotes and make it look as if it would be my musings. |

That's your take on it. I didn't copy and paste a thing during the exchange. I've been reading him since 1992. Here is what I've found. I went only thru 1/3 of your posts and this is what came up. I don't think that I have to go thru the other 2/3 after this: ------------------------------------------- If we could really see that tree over there, we would be so astounded that we'd fall over. ;D
“If you could really see that tree over there," Merlin said, "you would be so astounded that you'd fall over." "Really? But why?" asked Arthur. "It's just a tree." "No," Merlin said, "It's just a tree in your mind. To another mind it is an expression of infinite spirit and beauty. In God's mind it is a dear child, sweeter than anything you can imagine.” - Deepak Chopra The only reason to believe that we were born is that our parents saw us emerge from a womb. They thought they witnessed the moment when we began to exist, so they spread the rumor that we had been born. ;D Reality stands before us, yet we often don't see it, because what we call "real" is sometimes just the mirror image of our expectations.
Yet, if we can become quiet enough, the same faint song is heard in everything: "Behold yourself." "....reality stands before them, yet they don't see it, because what you call real is just the mirror image of your expectations.” " - Deepak Chopra "The same faint song is heard in everything: 'Behold yourself'". - Deepak Chopra The only reason to believe that we were born is that our parents saw us emerge from a womb. They thought they witnessed the moment when we began to exist, so they spread the rumor that we had been born. ;D "Yet the only reason you believe that you were born is that your parents saw you emerge from the womb. They thought they witnessed the moment when you began to exist. So they spread the rumor that you were born." Savitri was astonished at this line of reasoning." - Deepak Chopra I spent part of the morning contemplating what's been shared on this thread, and bumped into stillness along the way. If all of the steps of surrender are present, and how could they not be with the ocean, too, within the drop, then a seductive Monet or tantalizing Pollack, an intricate Mozart or raucous Hendrix, an contemplative Rumi or exhilarated Whitman will evoke love because the artist is simply there in all Its naked humanity. We can be transformed by what we see, feel, smell, taste, or hear in an instant. “If all of the steps of surrender are present, then a great Rembrandt or Monet will evoke love because the artist is simply there in all his naked humanity.” -Deepak Chopra
The man pulling radishes
Pointed the way
with a radish"The man pulling radishes Pointed the way With a radish." - Kobayashi Issa The great thing about mindfullness is it shows us that the boundaries we erect to divide heaven from earth, mind from matter, real from unreal are mere conveniences. Having made the boundaries, we can unmake them just as easily. “The boundaries we erect to divide heaven from earth, mind from matter, real from unreal are mere conveniences. Having made the boundaries, we can unmake them just as easily.” - Deepak Chopra Good points, andrew. I'm sure there are some here who would say that Nisargadatta's, "Who am I?" pointer is a practice, yet, one that struck the mother lode....
For them I would like to add- Don’t let a day go by without asking who you are, or what am I…each time we do so a new ingredient enters our awareness.  “Don’t let a day go by without asking who you are…each time you let a new ingredient to enter your awareness.” - Deepak Chopra Interesting on both counts. Helps me to understand that no single decision we've ever made has led in a straight line to where we find ourselves now. We've peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. We've followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. But, ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads. “No single decision you ever made has led in a straight line to where you find yourself now. You peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. You followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. Ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads.” Deepak Chopra Nothing brings down walls as surely as acceptance... “Nothing brings down walls as surely as acceptance.” - Deepak Chopra Enjoying the hot chocolate...
If we are not fully present, we will look around and it will be gone.
We will have missed the taste, the feel, the aroma, the delicacy and beauty of life.
It will appear to be speeding past us.
Slurp.....mmmmmmmm ;D "Life is like that. If you are not fully present, you will look around and it will be gone. You will have missed the feel, the aroma, the delicacy and beauty of life. It will seem to be speeding past you." - Thich Nhat Hanh Well, now, hold on there...As everything is primordially pure and timelessly free pure awareness, no matter what the appearances may be, then, all words in the dictionary actually have the same ultimate meaning- wide-open primordially-pure and timelessly free pure awareness. That is the true nature of all phenomena, and therefore all words actually describe only that, no matter what their dictionary definitions might be. ;D
This almond fruit stollen (two dots above the o) coffee cake is absolutely delicious!! "A fundamental aspect of the Great Freedom teachings is that whatever appears within pure awareness is actually a form of pure awareness, and inseparable from that basic space. So, no matter what the point of view may be (even if it is an appearance of some horrific calamity), it is actually just a form of pure awareness, and has as its true nature the qualities of pure awareness: primordial purity, wide-open emptiness, timeless freedom. In other words, everything is primordially pure and timelessly free, no matter what the appearances may be. (She says that all words in the dictionary actually have the same ultimate meaning: ‘wide-open primordially-pure awareness’, for that is the true nature of all phenomena, and therefore all words actually describe only that, no matter what their dictionary definitions might be.)" - Jay Devison |
