(But I don't really think you want a review, not sure you have enough info for one blink. Get a real job [this belongs in marketing]). And don't mention my name. |

Get a real job [this belongs in marketing]). And don't mention my name. Shawn hasn't reviewed Byron Katie; I assume he has better things to do. I thought of putting it marketing, but marketing is for endorsing things that you think are good and worth checking out. I make no such claim of freyrlepage.com and won't defend it. I want it examined critically. As if I wasn't here. My highest hope is a discussion about what is good teaching and what is bad teaching and how to tell the difference. The very small amount of content means it's less work as a case study. "Not enough info" and "get a real job" is not the thorough review I asked for, but better than nothing, so thanks. Of course, only review if it sounds like a fun exercise. Unsure what you mean by "don't mention my name". I've deleted it from the quote in case that's what you meant. Ah correction, I tried to delete it. |

Ah correction, I tried to delete it. I meant that you would need to message Shawn in this matter. And I meant there seems not to be enough content to evaluate you one way or another. .....Maybe, first, just ask him, why haven't you evaluated Byron Katie? That might be a good starting place. Otherwise, engage people here, start a thread...in General Spiritual Discussion. Put yourself out there, you will get challenged, pretty quickly. These days, in a pretty respectful manner (Reefs is a pretty good sheriff). A few years ago, things were different here. (As far as I know, meaning I don't really know, but I suspect that Shawn does not visit the discussions...)... |

Ah correction, I tried to delete it. Katie is a classic self-help teacher. The teachers Shawn lists are mostly non-duality related. So I'd say it's very unlikely that he will ever do a review of BK. Promoting books and websites belongs into the marketing section. Discussing specific teachers and their teachings belongs into the spiritual teachers section. Anything else, the general discussion section. Sometimes there are overlaps. So just take this as a rule of thumb. But Shawn was very clear about this one point: no book/website peddling outside the marketing section. |

Doesn't this forum require a minimum age? I'd say the way the forum is run now, it does require a certain level of emotional maturity, which is not necessarily tied to physical/chronological age. Said that, I could give you numerous examples of people in their 40s, 50s or 60s who have posted here in the past and regularly behaved like 5 year olds in terms of level of emotional maturity. And the opposite is true as well, we've seen people here in their 20's and 30's who have shown a level of emotional maturity way beyond their years. |

Ah correction, I tried to delete it. There have been many dialogs here in the past that got quite overheated. At various points in those, it became clear that sometimes people would essentially be trying to teach other's what they were trying to learn. It's actually a very old method, culturally speaking. Those folks were doing it unconsciously. So. You're ahead of that game, anyway.  |

sometimes people would essentially be trying to teach other's what they were trying to learn. Every word out of my mouth reveals something I have yet to learn. When I've finished learning something, I no longer feel the need to discuss it.
I assume this to be universal. When I said that people here seem to have a lot to say, the implication is that people here have a lot to learn. Katie is a classic self-help teacher. So is Eckhart Tolle, isn't he? Thank you, that's very helpful to know. If this thread is seen as a promotion, I ask that it be deleted. It was not my intention to peddle. I did my peddling already. |

'course, there's a Zen-like aphorism about how a path might become one of unbecoming, of unlearning, of seeing through old beliefs and conditioning. But, then again, Zen literally means sitting in silence, so I'll just go hang my head in shame now.  |

It was not my intention to peddle. I did my peddling already. Judging by his core message, I see ET as somewhere in between. The first part of TPON is definitely non-duality. But I'm neither a Tolle expert nor a Tolle fan. So I don't know what he's up to these days, hehe. If something is posted in the wrong section, I will move it to the appropriate section. No worries. Happens from time to time. |

George Bernard Shaw wrote: ‘Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.’ And, funnier: 'I explained it so many times that eventually I understood it myself' |

Yesterday, I browsed the 5 levels of teachers. Shawn said he decided he wasn't going to list any more #1's. Then he made an exception, a lady, forget her name, Pam maybe. I think his words were, he decided to list her as way-over-the-top #1, a kind of model as to way he's not going to list any more #1's (my words). |

I think his words were, he decided to list her as way-over-the-top #1, a kind of model as to way he's not going to list any more #1's (my words). Pamela Wilson. After a few seconds of that video of her talking, I'm already laughing.
There are no bad teachers, only bad students, unwilling to see the lesson that's right in front of them.
What a delicious double meal. Not only pam, but also Shawn's reaction to her reveals so much about him. And then, my reaction to him reacting to her, reveals so much about me!
Thank you for that.
