  1. Software issues.

    Also, as an alternative, those interested can sign up here - https://www.daosnet.com/ This is my own site that I created, run and maintain. It's not been active for a few years, but at least I own and control its destiny.
  2. Software issues.

    I'm trying to get hold of Sean through various channels. I don't want to upgrade the site without taking a full backup first, as there is the risk of potentially losing years' worth of content. Unfortunately, we don't have the option to create a backup from the admin console, it has to be done at the server level, which is hosted by Sean (and only he has access to it).
  3. Sorry

    Please link the ones you want removed. NVM, I found and deleted the ones you didn't have any text in.

  5. God is not love

    Actually, it won't It is a logical fallacy to apply modern/current social norms on historical events.
  6. God is not love

    The upanishads were transmitted in verse not prose. All the ancient teachings were transmitted that way - having a specific meter, intonation, etc. Why? Song-format is easier to memorize than prose.
  7. God is not love

    anachronism
  8. God is not love

    Ah, but she was a great sage in her own right...so she didn't divorce him

    I'd written an aritcle about this a while back - https://www.medhajournal.com/non-dual-awareness-is-without-attributes-but-what-about-love/

  11. Kundalini vs Preheaven Chi

    Ah, Manonasha - what he means is that the mind doesn’t control the individual as it becomes clear as being a process that occurs using reflected consciousness. Vasanas are mental impressions/patterns that arise periodically. There are some which are not considered detrimental - those may or may not be dissolved. For example, Sri Ramkrishna Paramhamsa retained his love for food. These are called “Lesha avidya “, some minimal patterns that allow for the system to function after realization. And there are differences of personality even after realization, otherwise realization would lead to creating automatons. Dissolving mental patterns doesn’t mean all patterns are dissolved. The fact that personality is retained to a certain degree means some mental patterns remain. Not everything needs to be given up. For example, if someone has a penchant for tidiness, there is nothing inherently negative about it, so why would it need to be dissolved?

    It’s a good idea to have empirical evidence to back our theories. Otherwise one can spend a lifetime chasing after chimeras. Jivanmukti happens after nondual realization, once the major vasanas are dissolved. It depends on the degree of purification of the mind (through proper preparatory work - krtopasati). The other alternative is videhamukti (which happens after the body is dropped). They are both predicated on Nondual realization.

    You’ve not had either, right? If so, it’s mainly your imagination that’s driving your beliefs.
  14. Comfort food

    Made myself a delicious coconut chutney and potato sandwich.
  15. Comfort food

    The milk solids are delicious to eat with some rice and salt and pepper (or sugar).
