  1. Concepts Etcetera

    and of course we also know that could all be wrong since we can not prove a dam thing to anyone else when it comes to such a matter. and to say we can would make us a fanatic of some kind. Btw, I take it wandelaar has boxer shorts or Michael Jordan shorts, not panties, we wouldn't want to paint a wrong picture at his expense would we?
  2. it is stupid and egotistical to brag about such things in a public or private manner...thus we have a person with some experience who has gone bad or is being foolish regardless of his experience, white beard, robes and knowledge.
  3. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh reconfigured as Osho, along with people looking the other way when it came to the crimes committed by him and his people at his the Oregon compound - are still selling books and making money for an organization after his passing. But I'm also thankful for the True Guru's and the Grace of Guru that helps pierce the mind veil!
  4. not really since you've made that dead guru statement a couple of times, and since most of us are not mind readers how else are we supposed to take each other statements? Btw, i suggest not mixing much beer with wine unlees one has total inner gut mastery.
  5. in other words Zen guy you sound very dismissive of people quoting dead guru's as you've so flippantly put it, but its ok for you to quote yours namely the Buddha....which tends to imply that your dead guru is better than other dead gurus...besides other bits of equanimity?
  6. why do you quote a dead guru (Buddha) which sounds like ax grinding?
  7. and ready to fight/bite...lol
  8. for me the agnostic like four fold negation (found in Buddhism) puts all the talk about real and unreal to bed, thus let sleeping dogs lie unless getting bit over and over again is worth it to you.
  9. Buddhist Practices vs Taoist Practices

    "what the hell", I'd suggest getting off that, "I'm a better validater than thou" attitude along with the haughtiness of being an expert that casts stones with comments about, "swine".
  10. Being stable in the Self-knowledge

    why ask questions you already know the answers for?
  11. Being stable in the Self-knowledge

    ItSelf, (who is not a composite whom)
  12. Being stable in the Self-knowledge

    some say when karma, ego, and any mis-understanding of Shakti are all resolved, along with the help of Grace.... then that which is already there is revealed ! (unveiled)
  13. Being stable in the Self-knowledge

    yep, another blink of an eye. (following Om all the way back gets kinda of hairy in parts)
  14. Being stable in the Self-knowledge

    a.k.a. Satguru, and or total renunciates with there maybe being one per billion of such souls helping us out on earth...glad they attained it and before or when the cosmic cycle ends we will all be stable, for there is only one Self of us.
  15. Cosmic Oddities

    haven't seen marblehead in a long time?
  16. Buddhist Practices vs Taoist Practices

    not to worry the more advanced (and validated) people can walk through the walls of such places whenever they want or need to. On a serious note many horrors and inhuman crimes have been committed against those poor souls who have tried to Fly Over the Cuckoo's Nest. (like in the movie)
  17. Buddhist Practices vs Taoist Practices

    so again what that validates is that you validated something only for yourself, it's not proof to anyone else (including those at Tao bums) nor does it carry any more proof than someone giving witness of Lord Jesus Christ, so obviously telling our particular and private stories are not the same story of another... although there are cases of someone who is directly involved in the same experience that could have had very similar validations. Anyway, a person revealing their personal practices in detail on the internet is at best dubious and at worst very foolish. Besides who wants men in white suits coming to take us away after we tell somebody about this or that...which can happen.
  18. Buddhist Practices vs Taoist Practices

    ok, so you validated this or that mystery for yourself, cool,... but you are having doubts about other people validating mystery for themselves?....That really takes the shrinks cake for if you are as experienced as you believe you are then you know that you can not prove or be made to prove mystery to anyone else and that someone else can not be expected to or be made to prove mystery to you! Thus your presumptions about some kind of concrete public "validation" that apparently meets your criteria for approval are way off imo.. Btw. someone pointing is helpful but it is not a validating for them - which only they can do.
  19. Buddhist Practices vs Taoist Practices

    that which gives birth to the One
  20. Buddhist Practices vs Taoist Practices

    mind can be a well tuned or a poorly tuned instrument. (or thing) The Self is not an instrument (or a thing) and knows it. "...Only No-thing can enter into no-space" From T.T.C. 43 (hyphen added to Nothing)
  21. In Saivite terms Shakti is Love, and Siva can never be disconnected from Shakti! (which is unconditional, beyond karma, ego, and the dictates of purely human reasoning abilities, thus Love is joined with revealing Grace, beyond normal understanding, or any forms of mental containment and dissection)
