Is there such a thing as karma? Bet the farm on it. Do you think you get a 'get out of jail free card' because of your the authority here? zazeniac has more integrity in his left... little finger than the whole of GM. Hopefully you're asleep and I can delete this in 4-5 hours. Or not. Just answer the question, do you put yourself above Ramana and Niz? Just answer the question, how do you think you might die? But the Jesus-dude said we have to let the wheat and the tares grow together, don't try to sort them out yourselves. He gave one and only one rule for judgement, count the fruit. But sometimes you just have to point out the obvious. So you are buying his zen schtick? I'm sorry, but with every further post zazeniac adds to this conversation, he's losing another big chunk of his credibility. I called his bluff. You don't see that you are replying to zazeniac in kind, you just white-wash it. If you don't realize this, then it's just buried deep in your shadow.

I called his bluff and I also just called your bluff. Deal with it. Your teachings have been proven worthless in a real life situation like this one. You both went unconscious and fell into a big black hole. The zennist at least stopped digging now, it seems. But you went away and came back with a heavy excavator. Hello?!

Next time this happens and you feel the urge to jump in, type it out but don't post it. When you can do that, you can move on to the next level, logging in but not typing it. And after you've mastered that level, you can move to not even logging in anymore. Should be a piece of cake for a zennist. Dude, you just can't stop yourself. I've had enough of tour bullshit. I see 't' is next to 'y' on the keyboard. Looks like you and stardustpilgrim really pissed off Grandma, but I can't see why. Why are you guys such un-evolved losers? Does Grandma have a real life identity, so you can attend Satsang and absorb her holiness? Or is it just a virtual guru?

Solid point, but if you see shadow psychology, then you also know how utterly futile that attempt at debate is. Life teaches, using harsher methods.

You just hurt yourself ... Two monks were walking along the road and came to a river where a woman was stranded, afraid to cross. The one monk offered to carry her across. Success, and the monks continued their journey. About two miles down the road, the other monk finally burst out. Don't! you! know! the offense you've! committed!? You've broken our vows against touching a woman! The one monk answered, I left her back at the river's edge, you're still carrying her. I meant well . Many nightmares are meant to trigger "lucid dreaming". Many awake situations that cause you intense fear, anger, frustration, have the same purpose: to bring you " lucidity", to re-establish the innate connection to the inner self when awake, like a student who knows why he is in school, like a game player who knows he plays it to acquire skills, not for fun, like anybody who understands that he does a job as part of his growth and development, not only because he needs the money. It is a matter of perspective. You liked the word "immersed" ... Your default state should be of "lucidity", from which you consciously "immerse" yourself in whatever needed, whenever needed, to the optimum degree needed, for how long needed, only. Your story has a deeper interpretation that you seem to suggest. The interpretation depends only on your beliefs and approach.

Grandma is spiritual fire! She sees your sins and your failed spiritual practices, and holds your faces to the flames of penance! No one is safe! Shiva.

People don't think they have beliefs, because the beliefs are invisible, it's what-they- are, what they consider themselves to be. It's kind of like being in a cult, you never recognize you are a cult member, until you're out. You don't realize you had a belief, until your belief changes. And then the new belief, likewise, you think, now I have the truth. Rinse and repeat.

Why are you guys such un-evolved losers? Does Grandma have a real life identity, so you can attend Satsang and absorb her holiness? Or is it just a virtual guru? About 99% of what ends up on the screen here, for everyone, is unconscious processing, including for GM. That's his blind spot. I don't think zazeniac has ever denied that. .......I think maybe GM is a UG wanna-be. I've read hundreds of stories about Gurdjieff, compared to Gurdjieff, GM is a powder-puff. And of course, with Gurdjieff, it was IRL, not mediated by the airwaves. And with Gurdjieff, it was ONLY with his students. With the ordinary person, people loved Gurdjieff, he was the kindest most generous man they ever met (he didn't like reporters, and he liked to fleece rich people (he called it sheering sheep), who didn't need their money anyway).. With his students, he was ingenuous, in a good way. With ordinary good hardworking people, or especially the poor, he was wholly and completely genuinely kind.

Do those Gurdjieff teachings ever have an end point for the student? Or is just on and on forever… (even across multiple lifetimes ?) ooof

There's no end to refinement of skills, or growth of capacities.....you mean something else?

Are you challenging the post or the poster in your comment? I was careful to challenge only his post, although you are right: I recall this poster's older posts too, and that I disagreed with them at the time. I'll be honest inavalan it didn't look that careful to me. You had set a standard of engagement in your previous post here spiritualteachers.proboards.com/post/510899 and then in my opinion dropped below it in the very next post. I'll flesh it out a little because the forum is fraught enough at the moment, so to me, people set standards on others all the time but the majority of the time they are just ideals that they'd like to live by. If they were truly anchored in those standards then they would have little interest in comparing and critiquing all the time.
