always one deep breath away
always
never any exceptions
sorry ... us bunnies like to keep it simple ... I know, that can lead to lots of complixifying confusilating analyitifying as to why what seems so simple and close is really so subtle and nuanced and ever out of reach and so so HARD to grasp hold of ...

Taken from the book "Talks with Ramana" By all rights, this should collapse it all into a little greasy spot if the temptation can be resisted to add to what is already clearly the case. You know that you ARE. Truly, you don't know anything else, and don't need to know anything else. You don't know anything about separation, personhood, birth and death, beginnings and endings, problems and solutions, imprisonment and freedom. You don't know anything about missing stuff, needed stuff. You don't even know anything about stuff, or time or space. This is all imagination on crack. |

The withdrawal from the imagination crack addiction can be serious biznis. Even getting some peeps to stop imagining what isn't there when reading a post turns out to be virtually impossible.  |

Agreed. Our squirrel and duck satsangs have been infinitely more useful. Yup. That's why - no matter how outdated may look - the mountain top gurus will always be with us while the jet set gurus might disappear one day. |

You mean that audience size matters? Haha, I've noticed that some take audience size as some kind of credentials. Some say that the bigger the audience the more betterer the guru, some say the bigger the audience the more badder the guru. |

Do you think there's something to the idea of 'transmission' between teacher and student? (Testing out my new non-admin identity here.)  |

(Testing out my new non-admin identity here.) No, there's no transmission of anything. Maybe similar to energy healing. There's no energy transmission either. There's just more allowance of, less resistance to the natural energy flow, which may feel like a transmission of energy. Transmission would imply assertion. (non-admin looks much nicer, less authoritarian ) |

Yeah, transmission is a bad word, but I can't help notice sumthin going on that I have no real understanding of. There's a simultaneous....looking and seeing. Yuppers, I like it too. And I was able to keep Enigma for both log-ins. I thought green stars would go better with the decor. |
