Indeed.....They both are nothing other then their movement.

 

They are not nouns............but only and always verbs.

That is a given.

 

 

 

But I was referring to the realization that 'you' live in a world of named

things.

 

...........in which 'you' are merely one of the named.

 

 

 

 

Every-thing in 'your' world has a post-it glued to it....'You' confuse

post-its for reality and

seek 'reality' ( just another post-it) among your own post-its....

 

 

 

Can you see where this is going?

 

 

 

That I should be buying stock in Post-It??

Try to refrain from the ad hominem attacks.....(there is no man here).

Good advice!

 

Some folks, though, will persist in wanting to paint

an all to obvious picture of themselves.

Werner seems to have had no trouble at all in catching Marc's

drift. Perhaps he would be so kind as to provide us with insight as

to the meaning of Marc's very cryptic message?

Alas ...........I am weary of the sophomoric humor.

 

There are several on these lists....that I just don't read or respond to.

 

They have nothing to offer.

 

Is it your wish to join them.

 

(A simple yes or no will do)

 

 

toombaru

 

 

 

 

It makes no difference to me at all if I'm on your no-read list or not.

Hehe.

Howsoever, some thoughts do occur in response. When I first joined this foru

m, your constant negation was experienced as a slight irritation, and I found

myself wishing for your negation, and you disappeared! When you returned, I

found that I had dealt with that bit of resistance and even learned to

appreciate the value of that approach for you.

 

The other thought that occurs is that I notice, the closer I'm willing to

approach divinity, the more humor there is. It was actually a bit of a surprise

that God is a really funny guy, though now it makes perfect sense. Even ego

can be hilarious in it's antics, although I generally suppress this reaction

since I have yet to find an ego that shares this perception of themselves.

There's a fun saying I've always enjoyed, though perhaps not very nondual

friendly. " Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly " . If the search

for

Truth doesn't bring love, joy and peace, something has gone horribly wrong,

since they are one and the same.

LOL

 

no....don't worry.....

it's the " test " for the " confused mind " in here.....if there is still

some potential emotional ego-fight.....waiting deep in the darkness

of the " ego " .....to wake up.....for a greatful fight....

 

good!?

 

:)

 

Marc

 

Ps: don't worry....everything Is.....fine

 

 

 

 

Great! So, are you noticing your ego struggling, or are you just projecting

it onto everybody else as you ride the ego-go-round?

Werner has no idea what Marc wrote. He's interested in seeing how Marc's and

Toom's egos reacted to being stroked. While I may not agree with his

tactics, at least the focus is closer to the truth.

Werner seems to have had no trouble at all in catching Marc's

drift. Perhaps he would be so kind as to provide us with insight as

to the meaning of Marc's very cryptic message?

Alas ...........I am weary of the sophomoric humor.

Boy, do I hear that!

 

 

 

Good, you've both elevated yourselves above non-enlightened humor. That must

mean you're deadly serious about seeing the Truth. I'll keep that in mind.

In case I happen to catch a glimpse of it, I'll be sure to point it out.

In the attempt to understand itself, mind combines and recombines mnemonic

self-

referential thoughts in to new configurations.

 

When It finds the new patterns unfomfortable......it has a tendency to

attack what if

considers the source of its dis-ease.

 

When that appears to fail....it will either berate the assumed messenger or

in a last ditch

effort to dissipate the anxiety caused by the confusion........it will

resort to humor.

 

 

What do you suppose Krishnamurti or Nigargadatta would have said to a smart

ass in the

back row who continually berated them or scoffed at what they had to offer?

 

 

 

toombaru

 

 

 

You are not an enlightened master and I am not a heckler in the back of the

room. It's interesting that I've never seen you resist ego attacks, and have

even seen humility in response, and yet humor brings about indignance. Perhaps

we've found your Achilles' heel, and more importantly, so have you.
