I agree. Or ban us all at some arbitrary point. Surely all the postings are

offensive to non-dualists?

 

Seems that if we ban one person we are trying to make this forum better in some

way.

 

As far as filtering the emails from this group are concerned I send them

non-dualistically (one-and-all) to the Trash, and then on occasion go in and

read a few. :-) I guess I wouldn't do that without 3x.b. There are other groups

where some of the members post and he doesn't. In my opinion they are inferior.

Besides when he insults me and I feel myself getting angry it is a reminder that

I still have an ego - and I go and seek the corner of my illusions that is

angering me. True I do wish he would mix his insults up with a few more praises.

But there I go trying to make things better myself.

baba comes to bury Caesar (the ghost in each and every of us)..

 

not to praise Him.

 

and Let It Be Known..

 

there is no bigger asshole and sorry self than baba.

 

he doesn't know anything.

 

he " gets " on peoples nerves.

 

and people don't " get " him.

 

All Is Well.

 

at the very least..

 

All is funny as hell.

P: You're welcome. It does work now. Only six people have voted,

and only one seems to be a lurker. If we consider that this list

has over 1300 members listed, that might mean that only posters

read our posts. So, if you were under the impression that

you were reaching a large audience, think again. Of course, it

might mean also that only six people give a shit, if bob posts,

or not. That is going to give a pang of ghostly pain to Bob's

ghostly ego. Of course the ghost will be consoled by the fact

that 5 out of 6 voted for Bob.

great news!

 

but .b b.b. never thought there was high readership.

 

baba belongs to many many lists and groups..

 

and deletes the vast majority on email delivery.

 

i think that would be the case in any case for anyone else too.

 

baba doesn't post for readership.

 

baba posts for the hell of it...

 

here there and everywhere.

 

and now i've just given mikey a gift...for the hell of it.

 

another post to count and another calculation to perform.

 

i can hardly wait for the results of his private survey.

 

uh..did wernie vote for or agin' me?

 

like i care.

 

:-)

 

..b b.b.

baba just voted himself.

 

if that's ok.

 

baba prefers to ramble rather than to rumble.

 

but if needs be .b b.b. will roam a different range.

 

he resists right or wrong.

 

so whatever is sung is the song.

 

he'll be be here or along.

 

January is not long.

 

then hi or so long.

 

till then..

 

it's still just ping pong.

 

:-)

 

..b b.b.

right you are.

 

as long as it's spoken with a hint of Neanderthal grunt.

 

those dudes didn't need words.

 

one look was all it took.

 

for whatever was needed at the time.

 

you either agreed or you agreed.

 

the alternative was unspeakable.

 

i guess everything was.

 

still is.

 

but we like to swim upstream against the flow.

P: You're welcome. It does work now. Only six people have voted,

and only one seems to be a lurker. If we consider that this list

has over 1300 members listed, that might mean that only posters

read our posts. So, if you were under the impression that

you were reaching a large audience, think again. Of course, it

might mean also that only six people give a shit, if bob posts,

or not. That is going to give a pang of ghostly pain to Bob's

ghostly ego. Of course the ghost will be consoled by the fact

that 5 out of 6 voted for Bob.

Conc the last sentence - I realised the same a moment ago.

It has been a busy weekend. Yesterday a few of us fell on

the ice, one broke a wrist. ½ hours skating -> four hours

at hospital. And then, the thinking about it which is ado

for and about nothing. It is not like it is happening now.

What keeps it live is thought and I thought to myself why

keep thinking about stuff then -- when it is only in your

head and nowhere else. Stop thinking about it and it does

not even exist.

And don't forget, Pete,

 

it is a public, open and non-anonymous poll which already in itself is not fair

because not everyone dares to reveal in public his real opinion.

Awe! Me wish you no had said that as now I am forced to remind

you of all the Vaterlands of which this the best of all worlds

consists one of which is the great land of milk and honey some

of whose inhabitants are all tooo eager to find the -- no, THE

final solution to all the world problems and who gladly & with

the blessing of its governmentally very sick constitution uses

torture in a way as had they neer heard of a certain Vaterland

expert who loved Wagner an Brunhilde and what? A yes, kids and

dogs & a brown woman with the adamical name eva - you continue.
