Guest guest Report post Posted March 3, 2010 Aggressive speech reflects unhappiness of spirit. There is no " correcting " an investment in dukkha. One observes it, and moves on. - Dan - superficial love and related attachments to an imaginary world...means, ego....is also of aggressivity.....envelopped only in some meaningless love bubbles.... Marc Ps: moving on?.... where?... is there a place to move on for " non-aggressive " people?... this your new site/group?... for all pseudo advaitins?... lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You expect peace and a moment to be able to get away from the *real world* (do I need to get into a litany of what a real world is?). You take off your coat and sit down, someone comes barging in with a gun, and threatens you because you managed to be *there*? Quick, how are you going to react? I'm just good and tired of folks throwing up the nondual card as if that were everything. It isn't. Life is and creating a peaceful coexistence is. Ahh, but just so you know, I know, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. It just shouldn't come from *spiritual* finders. ~A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite Don Rickles. Don Rickles is funny. And he puts himself down, too - so there is an equality to his humor and point of view. He gives respect to the people he roasts.

Apparently, something about my posts (at whatever time he's referring to) made him feel inadequate, or otherwise disturbed the contentment and serenity he says he " feels most of the time " . As far as I'm concerned, it's all past, and all irrelevant. People get very worked up about the past, about what isn't here. Makes you wonder if they pay any attention at all to what *is* here.

Instead of being a loving guru, you can always " help " people by bitching at them. You've got some great models on this list. Then you don't have to worry about yucky stuff like caring. - D - P.S. The best way to prove you're not a guru is to start using capital letters. And don't forget that you can use your list to create a psychic link and beam your love to your students instead of having to meet in person. You know the ones I'm talking about. They are asking for your love, they just don't like to come right out and say it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good point. One of the excellent possibilities of this list. To notice what is past, and understand that what is past, isn't. - D - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life is and creating a peaceful > coexistence is. Well, Anna, you're going to get " nondual talk " on " nondual lists " . Complaining about it is as silly as complaining about stamp-collecting talk on a stamp-collecting forum. The Internet is a big place. Go where you're interested. Stop complaining. I'm good and tired of complaints about nondual talk on nondual lists. Quite frankly, it's stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't forget that you can use your list to create a psychic link and beam your love to your students instead of having to meet in person. You know the ones I'm talking about.
