the nonduality groups. it seems everyone is trying to talk about their

experience and using " vedanta " or neo-advaita terminology. there's something

that makes us speechless and then we fail to describe it in common terms that we

can all agree on.

Seeking the truth is always for one's own benefit, I think. Thinking itself is for one's own benefit. Noticing the truth seems a different proposition, and thinking doesn't seem to have anything to do with this. I have never seen this illustrated more clearly than in this thread. People are clinging to arguments that bring them nothing, prompted by patterns of behavior identical to a band of teenage chimpanzees, but without the clarity of purpose. It doesn't seem to me that anyone is hiding anything with clever language, that is for sure...or if they are, it is really heaving slogging to find whatever they are hiding. Oh well.

" And she took the words right out of my mouth " .

 

Happy to have met you, Gloria :)

 

Are you aquainted with the great krishnamurti?

 

Just joking and a way to say I am not talking of

UG. Krishnamurti, only of the Jediknight, Jiddu.

Thanks, Lena :)

 

Agreed, .bb.b. , I suspect a lack of aquaintance with anything needn't be termed a big catastrophe.

At most, that would be a minor cat's-after-me.
