If you are certain we are all dead wrong, why are you trying to dialogue with us? There is only one answer to this. Forget your answer. I will give you mine. Just because you are all dead wrong, it doesn't make me right. As I had pointed out, everyone of you is another me. I am talking to myselves here. It's like playing tennis with myself. I have to beat everyone, returning all your shots to hone my skill. Give me your best shot, man.
I just realized that I don't know what you think we are all dead wrong about. We don't even agree with each other...our spiritualities are somewhat varied. I guess the only thing that unites us is a belief that 'the material universe' is not the basis of existence/life. Some might speak of Consciousness as the basis, some might speak of God, or Awareness, or some might just prefer to speak of this 'basis' a bit more nebulously. Is it this that you think we are wrong about?

It was just the wisdom of Gandhi. The guy had smashed in the head of a Muslim. He was in terrible guilt over this, he said he was in hell. He asked Gandhi if there was a way out of his hellish guilt. Gandhi told him to find an orphan Muslim child, and raise the child himself, and he being a Hindu, must raise the child as a Muslim. I don't know why you trash people so here. I don't know why you think you are wiser than anyone else here. Does that give you permission to trash people? You write disparagingly of everyone here. That can mean only one thing. That he's found an effective way to trigger, what has been called of late.. the boatman? Yea, he basically said that earlier, admitted it. I think he's found most remarkably, he has not been too successful triggering people here. Too bad he didn't show up 6 years ago. I brought out my Emerson especially for sree, today. I've forgotten what the one thing is.

Not true Pilgrim. I commend you on your on-going struggle to stay alive. He has trashed me. He has trashed everybody as a whole. It's easier to remember the trashing. I've never used the ignore button. I'd rather try to ignore, without the button, a test. I've been fairly successful. Basically, the trashing cancels out all the good.

I don't hold him to that standard i.e I don't necessarily expect that to continue, but it would feel wrong for me not to put my 2 cents in there.

Is it this that you think we are wrong about? Bingo. sree is kind of fishing with a net. Earlier, at least days ago, he basically admitted he is attacking everybody's *boatman*, to get a reaction. I think this was when Reefs called him out, gave him a choice, play by the rules or you will get axed. He dumped s**t on me again, yesterday or the day before. I'm done.

It's good sree has found a place here.

This is Jesus 101, turn the other cheek. But my Christian mentor, who was a bad asterisk, who said in his Navy days there was no two men he couldn't handle in a fight, said he had only 4 cheeks, so the turning eventually ended. That was my bait. I bet it triggered satch, as it has triggered you. In spiritual discourse, my object is not to seek light in the darkness, or find the path to the promised land. I hunt the boatman, the vampire lurking within. Whatever the response, the blood-sucker can be detected. Not the one in you, but the one in me. Same thing. Sunday. I've played that game here too much in the past. Who was that most famous frog? ...just walk off the battlefield...

I've been fairly successful. Basically, the trashing cancels out all the good. Of course, because there's more emotion in it. What you've got to remember is that it he's trying to find out what makes sense to him in here. We've all been writing to each other for over a decade so we understand what we mean when we write. He's still trying to sift through all that. Take a step back a bit.. if he is going through a process which it looks like he is. Then trust that.

The frog was a ghost hunter of a different caliber to sree. His goal was to set free the love in you.

Then one day it just hit me, it's pilgrim's problem, not frog's. That was many years ago, I've been pretty free of getting triggered since then.

Not a problem. anodos will just not be a part of his process, anymore. I'm basically a turtle. My first email address was tortoise@mindspring. Tortoise is my "spirit animal". ...or maybe a sea turtle....my limited drawing skills...

Tortoise is my "spirit animal". ...or maybe a sea turtle....my limited drawing skills... Perhaps Sree's is a Rabbit.. That's on a repeating loop, we don't know what happened. “The Turtle” Chuang Tzu with his bamboo pole Was fising in Pu river. The prince of Chu Sent two vice-chancellors With a formal document: “We hereby appoint you Prime Minister.” Chuang Tzu held his bamboo pole Still watching Pu river, He said: “I am told there is a sacred tortoise, Offered and canonized Three thousand years ago, Venerated by the prince, Wrapped in silk, In a precious shrine On an altar In the Temple. “What do you think : Is it better to give up one’s life And leave a sacred shell As an object of cult In a cloud of incense Three thousand years, Or better to live As a plain turtle Dragging its tail in the mud?” “For the turtle,” said the Vice-Chancellor, “Better to live And drag its tail in the mud.” “Go home!” said Chuang Tzu. “Leave me here To drag my tail in the mud!” from The Way of Chuang Tzu by Thomas Merton (He said this was his favorite book).
