Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hi Lewis, Is there some thing or anything beyond mental masturbation, verbal diarrhea? Do you think you'll ever " get tired " of stroking yourself in public - here, GR, AtoZ, elsewhere - or will you die the same way you lived, pleasuring yourself? Is there some thing or anything beyond self-pleasuring? Or do you think/believe, that all the human mind is " made for " is pleasuring itself? P: Not that there is anything wrong with that!

Tis this: In the natural world - sans mankind, if you can imagine that - all living creatures ARE what they are; lions are lions, kings of the jungle; gazelles are gazelles, tasty foods for lions; swine are swine, rooting in the mud and eating where they shit, and so on. Get the picture? Enter humanity, and a few short thousands of years. Now, everything changes - totally and quite irrevocably, except within the consciousness of selected individuals... not necessarily " self-selected " , but selected nevertheless. Most (read: 99.999%) humans are not humans, masters of their domains, but food for higher beings the existence of which they don't know about, can't realize, and can't even begin to talk about, as they have no language to wrap their little man-brains around it. Thus, they (read: 100% of the 99.999%) believe themselves to be other than what they are, something else entirely, not merely food - which is what they are - but " masters of their domain " which they are not. Nor, do they understand how it is, that they are so deluded - and when they try to explain why/how they are so deluded, the lying begins, and the believing begins, and round and round it goes ad infinitum, till they are eventually eaten. Not that there is anything wrong with being eaten, EXCEPT if you ARE a human, and never discover the truth, then there is something >>personally<< wrong with that, though only the person can personally " feel that way. " Religions and philosophies and story-tellers of ALL stripes, A to Z, attempt to NOT feel and NOT think, thus attempting to shut down that which makes humans, human, and the lying/believing becomes the preferred (dull) state of mind. All these non-dual email-lists are merely teaching people how to dull the mind - not to awaken, but to go back to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
