Indirektno poznavane na sveta stava chrez polzuvane na setivata.
Direknoto poznavane izklyuchva setivata.
Svetqt se sqstoi ot dve ...: Forma i Sqshtnost. Sqshtnostta opredelya
Formata. Chrez poznanie na Formata dostigame do poznanie na Sqshtnostta. No
Formata e predelna, zavisima ot kachestva (chrez setivata) i prehodna.
Formata ni dava samo chastichna, izopachena predstava za Sqshtnostta.
Formite sa mnogo. Sqshtnostta, ot druga strana e bezpredelna, nezavisima ot
kachestva i neprehodna. Sqhstnostta e edna. Direktno vqrzpriemane na
Sqshtnostta e poznanieto i v cyalost, takava kakvato e.
Por ejemplo: Duh e Sqshtnost. Bog e Forma. Tiya dvete sa edno i sqshto
neshto. Bog e Forma ponezhe Bog e s kachestva - Bog e milosqrden,
vseznaesht, sprevedliv i prochee. Obache ponezhe Formite sa mnogo, razlichni
kachestva se pripisvat na Duha (kato Bog) v zavisimost ot narodnost,
istoriya i prochee. Hristiyanskiya Bog ima edni kachestva, evreiskiya Bog -
drugi, mohamedanskiya Bog - treti. Obache tqy kato vsichki Formi vodyat do
ednata, edinstvenata Sqshtnost, vsichki Bogove sa ediniya i edinstveniya
Duh. I zatova mnogo ot kachestvata sa podobni ili napravo edni i sqshti.
Duhqt mozhe da se poznava direktno ...koeto e trudno da se obyasni i malko
sa horata sposobni na podobno poznanie (kakto i samata Vie otbelyasahte).
Nedirektno, Duh se poznava kato Bog, chrez poznavane na kachestvata mu i
izuchavane na sqotvetnata religiya. No podobno poznanie e poznanie na Forma,
i poradi tova e chastichno. Po-pqlno poznanie se postiga ako se poznae
sqshtiya toya Duh pod druga Forma. S drugi dumi, izuchavaneto na edna druga
religiya i poznanieto na Bog s drugi (podobni) kachestva vodi do po-vyarno
poznanie na Duha. I prochee. Obache samo direktniya metod na znanie vodi do
pqlno razbirane na Duha, na Sqshtnostta na Gospoda nash.

Zatova i ne viarvam, che tova e taka, ili che e vyzmojno. Gotov sym obache da

All glory to You
and every bit of information!
Yes, devotion is a good way to get there but it isn't "ONLY through
devotion". Devotion is just one way to get a direct experience of the One
(or Supreme, as you call it). It is a convinient method since it is
intuitively understood by anyone and it doesn't require extensive religious
or philosophical understanding of any dogma. Furthermore, it already exists
in practically all religions, if not as Way to Liberation, but rather as a
simple relationship to the Supreme (which, when qualified becomes God). But
even though a devotee may not seek Liberation and may not understand at all
the concepts of bondage and duality (since they are Eastern concepts
anyhow), the final result, a direct relationship with God (understanding the
Supreme), in various extends can and is accomplished. Hence it's popularity.
One shortcoming of this method is that devotion often is associated with
simplicity, backwardness, low classes (castes), even fanaticism. In our
"modern age", it is rather difficult to be asking for devotion (towards God,
usually) when too many people do not believe in God and the ones who say
they do, don't mean anything by it.
Another problem with devotion is that there is the possibility for the
aspirant not to want a final emancipation because that means a complete
union with God and thus God would cease to exist as a object of worship (as
a result of the destruction of duality and true realization of the One). The
devotee however loves her God so much that she wouldn't want for that
happening. ...Ok, I admit that it is a rather technical problem and it
appears only at such an advanced stage that few would ever have to worry
about it, :-))) but it still exists. Most importantly, devotion towards God
(especially in people outside the Bhakti tradition) is for the sake of God,
or for the sake of the devotee, or for the sake of the dogma or simply out
of habit and usually it never reaches the intensity required for some more
substantial spiritual growth. And that's a problem, particularly in the
Judaic based religions where Salvation is spoken as something that comes
from the out and not from within.

Why not discuss them? Never heard of them and they sound interesting.

Highly secret technique? Well, no - I ain't got it. I don't even have a
technique. But you're right about the essence of Vedic learning thingy. The
closest I can classify myself would be as a follower of Advaita Vedanta,
which one can argue *is* the essece of the Vedas, their highest teaching.
Unfortunately, even Vedanta falls for dualistic methods of teachings and
that's rather unsettling. ...But that's for another post, I guess. Whatever
the case, it was that teaching which put things together for me, tied up all
my previous efforts, made sense of it all and pushed me in the right
direction.
...Well, I do have a secret teaching, available to womankind and mankind
alike, but I can't disclose it publicly and for free. You'll have to sign up
for the program, visit the ashram, get approved, pay your fees, worship and
work hard everyday ...then maybe I'll tell you a lil' bit. :-))))) Of
course, you'll have to pay your fees!
>All glory to You
Right. Whatever... You too! :-))

Ot edna strana mi beshe mnogo priatno da otkriya, che sama

"Neshtata" sa podneseni taka, ponezhe tova e edinstveniya nachin po

A kolkoto do zaklyucheniyata, te vinagi sa si edni i sqshti. Nyama drug

Devotion and love for God are God's grace, one cannot aquire them by will.
It's true that this age is more or less oblivious to devotion and following
God's will (that's why it's referred to as the Iron Age, or Kal Yuga) but
it's just a matter of expanding one's Self, not of losing one self.

Ivane, could you explain what Advaita Vedanta is? And one more thing, be
careful of ashrams that charge you money. A true teching/teacher wouldn't
charge you anything for their spiritual services, trust me on that one.

>final emancipation
From a dualistic standpoint of view, God's grace probably would have
something to do with it. But note that at the moment of emancipation (that
is, about achieving unity with God, about non-dualism), God as such cease to
exist. You are Her and Her decisions are your decisions, insofar as there
can be even a talk about decisions, which there can't. Being One, there's
nobody to decide and there's nothing to be decided on. The Self (being one
and the same as the Supreme) is ever free and ever emancipated anyway. It is
just that this fact needs to be realized. Therefore to argue that one needs
God's grace in order to realize that she *is* God is something that doesn't
make much sense.
Here's what Narada Bhakti Sutras has to say on the issue:
"3. And in its own intrinsic nature, Divine Love is nothing less than
the immortal bliss of freedom (Mukti) itself, which comes unsolicited by the
grace of God and by self-sacrifies."
Obviously, they are taking the dualistic approach (since any scripture,
by its nature, is written for the benefit of the ignorant ones, the
dualists :-)), and it advocates both a God's grace concept as well as
personal effort (self-sacrifice), which is a little bit hard to understand.
Once a pupil has asked Ramakrishna about that: if liberation is the
result of pure effort or by the grace of God alone. He had replied something
to the fact that the human condition is similar to a dog tied to a chain.
The dog has a certain freedom within the link of that chain, to pursue his
own interests, but he can't go beyond his own chain. Only his Master can
turn him lose. Similarly a man (or a woman) is tied to the world-appearances
by the chain called Illusion, and it is up to his Master, God, to let him
lose. But unless the dog demonstrates that he wants out of the chain, by
pulling it or whatever, ...his Master may never let him lose.
But, again, that assumes that the notions of bondage and liberations are
taken as an objectively existing realities and given the background of
Ramakrishna's students (they were all young, idealistic Hindus, used to
worship a divine entity of some kind - Shiva and Vishnu, mainly), he
probably thought that this
explaination is best for them. I personally have no inclination for the
worship of a divine entity of any kind (usually - but there are certain
times when I get the urge), so the monistic approach makes more sense for
me. ...Whatever blows your skirts up.
If Ramakrishna was teaching someone who had the natural predisposition
and ability to understand non-duality, he would have continued with: but the
chain exists only in the mind of the dog, because, being ignorant dog, he
thinks that there's something called "chain" that keeps him tied and there's
someone called Master, to untie him. In reality, there's neither chain nor
Master and the dog is a slave of his own delusion.
Ili, kakto kazvat Sutrite:
"30. But Narada says that the spiritual realization is its own fruit."
It is interesting the Ramakrishna had no set teaching (he had divine
inspirations and various spiritual experiences from many teachings) and he
taught each of his students differently, depending on the student's
temperament and spiritual capacities. It was only Vivekananda that was
taught Advaita
Vedanta early on, and it is said that Vivekananda hated it then and
understood it
only much later.

The problem with understanding the concept of God's grace is that people
get complacent and think that because it is God's grace that will deliver
them, they don't have to do anything special about it. It's the "lazy man's
guide to elightenment" philosophy - drink your beer, eat your peanuts and if
God decides to save you, She will do so in Her own time. There are obvious
difficulties with such an approach.

Actually, I have heard of them, but never in any spiritual sense. If
these are the same people that I think of, they are a mixed group of
crackers, hackers, phreaks and others, collectively sometimes refered to as
"the Net's underground", but I've never heard anyone refering to them in any
spiritual sense. They're too diverse to have any philosophy at all, and
whatever they agree has to do with technical issues (cryptography, virtual
privacy etc.) and some very broad socio-political issues: something about
freedom in the cyber-world from "the system", whatever that is, a
cyber-revolution of some kind, etc.
I think I've seen something like that in a SF novel I read some time
ago: William Gibson's Neuromancer, but I'm not sure if they are influenced
by it or what.

>Ivane, could you explain what Advaita Vedanta is?
Advaita Vedanta means Monistic Vedanta. It teaches that the world of
duality does not exist and that the Self is ever free. The concepts such as
Liberation and Salvation, Matter and Spirit, and all other dual categories
are product of our ignorance, of our inability to see ourselves as the ever
free, ever perfect One that we are. Every time we speak of a dual concept,
we get away from the Truth and get even more confused. An out of that
situation is an intellectual effort in order to understand why non-duality
appears as duality. Upon a succesful intellectual effort, the true nature of
the Self is realized and we're freed from bondage (even though bondage
itself is unreal).
In that light, all religions and sciences become meaningless since
worshiping a God or pursuing the laws of Nature are activities that cannot
lead to true realization. We are dealing simply with dual categories that
produce more dual categories and there's no end to such efforts. At the same
time, Vedanta aknowedges the difficulties of understanding non-dualism and
aknowledges that the variety of religious experiences and different
spiritual paths promote a higher level of Union and by reducing the level of
duality, human kind progresses to a higher, less dual level, so to speak.
That second, more liberal position basically says that if you have to be a
dualist, go ahead and worship your God, do your asanas, or study your
sciense, as long as you realize that your efforts should lead (at some later
time) to non-dualism. ...Or something like that.

What about before that moment. How does time fit in the whole thing. Or is it
just another dualistic concept, according to the Advaita Vedanta?

So it is just a matter of a state of mind? Do you think/or believe that Mind
is the be all and highest expression there is? Do you distinguish between
Mind and Soul/Spirit? Or these again are dualistic terms? Or how would you
define all these terms in a "dualistic context"?
(By the way, I am not challenging your beliefs or trying to convince you of
anything, just attempting to understand your philosophy and possibly, after
that bridge it with mine, without undermining one or the other. You know,
every teaching, philosophy, has its own language, and at first it's a matter
of learning the language. But there is also universal language of all
philosophies, especially the Eastern ones). And I do appreciate everything
you write in that regard, thank you for sharing, even though you don't know
your audience so well.

It does make a lot of sense to me too, and it's the essence of all the

in the same words-monistic.

Yes, you are right, this is one of the most difficult concepts to understand,
how the many become one and how the small self becomes the Big Self, or as
some would have it for the sake of clarity, how "the drop merges in the
ocean" and loses its individuality.

This is always a sign of a true Master.

I read a book with some of his speeches years ago and have respect for him.
He had said in one of them, that all you see around is an illusion, and that
he is an illusion as well, but that the illusion of Vivekananda was going to
lead them out of the illusion of this world (or something like that). But I
didn't know about Advaita Vedanta.

So far, what I've understood is that you can attain enlightenment based on a
personal, INTELLECTUAL effort and that appeals to yuo because you are an
intellectual anyway. So you focus on the One Reality with the faith/knowledge
that the Unreality/Illusion/dualistic world etc. will dissipate in the
process and lo and behold, the realization will be there that there is only
One and You ate That and That is You. I can't help quoting an ex friend of
mine who used to say:"There is Nobody Else. All there is is Me. I am the only
One and so why bother about anybody?" SInce there isn't much space for this
posting left, I'll have to cntinue later. I just wanted to say that
woman_being had a very good point once when she said that LOVE brings her in
union and harmony with the Supreme Being. But it's hard to control Love or
even have love by will, isn't it. While you can chose to think almost any
thought you wish to, with some self-discipline. But our expression in this
world (sorry for the dualism) is more through our minds than through love,
and do we know what love is.

This is funny and cute. I kind of like the "lazy man's approach":))) Well, it
is said that you can't have two Masters, meaning "the world" (that's a very
elusive term) and God. But after observing myself and people I have come to
the conclusion there is truth to it. So you might have to make an effort to
"spiritualize yourself":)) Or is it a given, that you have spiritual
inclination. How do you explain the fact that some people will never give a
damn about any kind of spirituality, and others who have "the natural
inclination"? Is that your own will, is it God's grace or what? And who is
willing anyway, if there is only One?:)))

Before that moment, it's up to you. If you're inclined towards relating
to Unity by worship and if that worship involves a personalized God (which
is nothing but the Supreme, with certain characterstics superimposed on
Her), then yes - God's grace would be important for you and Vedanta would
say that you need it. If, on the other side, you're predisposed towards an
analytic behavior and pursue the One through mental and physical exercises,
through intelectual discorse (Advayta, Samkya etc.) or though scientific
study (physics) then God's grace would not concern you in the least and
Vedanta will aknowledge that as well.
See, whatever model you chose to pursue the One, the rules of that model
would apply to you. Insofar as your efforts are directed towards the
realization of the One, Vedanta will encourage you and would advise that you
follow the rules of your chosen model. For Vedanta, there's no objective
truth about anything, since everything exists in a dual world, which is not
real, from an absolute standpoint. Hence, there's nothing to be said about
God or God's grace. But from relative point of view, the dual world is quiet
real for all that live in it and so it makes only sense to encourage them to
live accordingly.
>How does time fit in the whole thing. Or is it
>just another dualistic concept, according to the Advaita Vedanta?
Now you're catching on. :-))
Yes - time, space and everything in between is a dualistic concept. Time
arises with the creation of the illusion (that is, the creation of the
material universe) and time ceases to exist with it's destruction ...which
is also the stand of modern astrophysics on the issue. It used to be that
time was thought of as an infinte line going from the "past" and headed for
the "future", whatever those terms might be. Now, the commongly accepted
theory is that time was "born" with the Big Bang. Before that, there's no
"time".

They sure are. :-))
The charming thing about Advaita is that it gives you instant answers to
all of your questions right away and there's never an inconsistency. Yes -
the separation of the world into Matter and Spirit, the separation of
sentient and non-sentient, human and non-human ...mind and spirit ...all of
these are superimposed, artificially created concepts that divide the One
into Many (even though the One keeps shining through all of the Many as
One). None of these concept are important or something to be concerned
about.
I, personally, insofar as I dwell in the realms of the unreal most often
:-)), chose to make a distinction and so I separate body from mind from
spirit, as categories. But, having "sensed" the One in the Many (one may
call that "a certain spiritual experience" :-)), I really don't have much
need to define them or to theorize about what they may be. When I did have
such need, I followed the Yoga system of philosophy (which is close to
Samkhya but not identical) and for me mind was just an extension of the
body, a more "refined" bodily product, while the Soul was a localized
manifestation of the Cosmic Soul. The mind, when free from impurities (such
as thoughts, memories, dreams, emotions etc.) is able to reflect it's own
Divine nature and at such an instant It realizes that it is nothing but the
Supreme. That realization of "I" being "It", is called Liberation. The
process through which the Mind is freed from impurities could be many
things - devotion to a God, physical practice (asanas), mental practice
(meditation) etc. etc.
To Vedanta, of course, none of that matters much. As long as you realize
that Unity, it is up to you if you want to believe in a soul, a mind or
whatever and it is up to you to establish the relationships between these
terms.
>Or how would you

>EFFORT?
Not at all. Vedanta does teach that a purely intellectual effort is the
prefered way to understand non-duality. One simply begins to reason until
one figures it all out. But a personal effort can be (and most often is)
rather non-intellectual. Bhakti Yoga is non-intellectual - there's no much
theory or reasoning. One simply worships God, in all Her forms, at any and
all time and place. The personal effort here is emotional (since love and
Divine Love are emotional categories). On the other hand a system such as
Yoga, has little place for emotions - the personal effort here is physical
(asana, pranayama etc. - in other words, exercises) and mental (pratyahara,
dhyana etc - in other words, meditation). A system such as Christianity
would use a mixture between emotional effort (prayer, love of God),
intellectual effort (reading the Bible and reasoning out what's in it) and
physical effort (doing good work, good deeds).

Just a thought, if you think that distinction is not important (or you don't
need it) between body, mind and soul, does it seem that some of these might
also be temporary/illusionary and some not. Like the body-mind connection
that you nicely described, what happens to them at the physical death? The
body ceases to exist, and the mind probably not. Would there be possible
death for the mind, just with a longer life-span, and what would the essence
in us be that does not die (let's put it this way)?
By the way, I am very interested in your spiritual experiences and may be it's
not a good thing to pry like that, but if you ever feel like sharing...

O.K. now I understand more - a key for achieving Liberation is to clean up the
mind.
That realization of "I" being "It", is called Liberation.

Yes, that makes sense, that actually the simplest minds are more open to the
truth and mere beliefs won't get you anywhere. But then if realization is all
you want, how do you get it? Or you say, follow whatever feels right to you?
As long as it gets you there? Or does it offer a separate, unique model.
Because even if it's just focusing on the truth, that's not as simple as it
sounds. I heard a story, whereby a dsisciple-to-be asked his Master-to-be for
his initiation. The Master said: "You can have it tomorrow, if you can spend
one night in isolation, in a cave:)), and think of anything you want, except
of crocodiles." Simple enough? On the next morning the disciple returned to
the Master, only to confess that he hadn't been able to think of anything
else, except crocodiles. There are techings that profess stopping the mind
and concentration, but they do not seem to be so easy to achieve. What's your
side of that?

So that's what most of my talking above was about. How do you make this
intellectual effort?

Here I would not agree with you. Emotions and love and Divine Love are
definitely different.
And it seems that Vedanta places the intelellectual
effort higher than Love, is that so? Or considers it to be the most effective?
On the other hand a system such as

Yes, he was justifying his selfishness in this way. He loved doing those
things, taking a pure, spiritual concept and twisting it into a "devilish"
one. It 's a kind of sport for him. A different sense of humor, I guess. I
quoted him just for fun. But forgot to mark it this way:)))

She believes in love, or trusts love/Love :) She somehow knows intuitively
that Love takes you to the God within, she has experienced it. I meant to
write to her but couldn't find her posting about love again.

Do you sign your postings Love, -= Ivan =- because due to your perception

according to Advaita Vedanta?
From now on I will sign mine with ***** because it means something to me and
who cares who I am anyway, it's all an illusion.

Hey, kolko viarno. Tuk se vdqhnovih da tsitiram niakoi misli ot "The Prophet"
na Khalil Gibran (poetichna mqdrost:)).
No man can reveal to you aught that which already lies half asleep in the
dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple,
among his followers, gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and
lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his
wisdom, but rather leads you to the treshold of your own mind. The astronomer
may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his
understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all
space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice
that echoes it. For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
And even as each of you stands alone God's knowledge, so must each one of you
be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.

By realizing the One.
>By the way, I am very interested in your spiritual experiences and may be

sharing...
I wish I could say that I
saw God and She was a beautiful blond, young and blessed in all respects and
She smiled heavenly to me and said "Honey-babe, you're my Son on Earth. I've
been waiting for you for so long - you have finaly come!!" and She put Her
hand on my bowed head and blessed me so that I instantly knew the past,
present and future and could preach Her Word to all human kind. :-))
Instead, it was more ...trivial, I guess. In any case, it's not
something I'd discuss in public. For some reason, an experience of this kind
strikes me as personal and intimate and even though I'm far away from being
shy, :-)) in this particular instance I feel certain reluctance to get into
it.

Yes. Or alternatively, the realization that there never was an "I"
separate from "it" is called Liberation.

By practicing a spiritual discipline of some sorts, by devotion, by
work, by an intellectual effort, etc. etc. We already talked about this.

My take on this is that teachings that profess in stopping the mind are
riddled with symbolism and metaphysics and most people who enter such a
teaching stop right at that level. They get so involved in figuring out the
mantras, the yantras and all the technicalities involved that they forget
(or maybe never knew it) that the purpose of concentration is to clean up
the mind from multiplicity and promote unity, achieve the mind being fixed
on a single object (be it God, an idea, an artifact of some kind or
something else). Hence, teachings such as tantra, quaballah, esoteric
christianity, sufism etc. etc. are difficult to follow. On the other side,
teachings such as Zen, are easier to swallow since sitting is sitting and
meditation is meditations.

Thinking about the nature of the "I" (answering the question "Who is th

Maybe so. But these are technicalities. Divine Love for most people
never really becomes "divine". Love is love - it's emotion.

Yes. It considers is the most direct way of knowing Onenness, but I
think it is the most difficult one as well.

Not really. Same thing works differently for different people. I suppose
I was predisposed towards this one method (that is, my background and
personality were suited for it better). For others devotion, or meditation
or something else may work much better and results achieved much quicker.

Hardly. :-)))
It's a long story, but the jest of it is that I have a long and colorful
history of posting. In my younger years on the Net, I was very prone to
fights, clashes and various mischiefs that used to piss off many people
(while pleasing others, obviously) and after a heavy dose of sarcasm,
witticism, vulgarities and occasional seriousness, "love" at the end came as
an icing on the cake so to speak. From me, in those days, it was taken as
another heavy piece of sarcasm, an insult. ...I was banned from two mailing
lists just for exercising my freedom of speech. :-)) ...and these were
supposed to be non-moderated, free-for-all lists. It just gives you some
indication what a bad boy I was. Anyhow, you can imagine that after cussing
the shit out of some poor schmuck, completely destroying him (mostly through
humor) and then finishing with "Love" is extremely inappropriate ...which
made it perfect for me. :-)))
The other side of the story is that my social and political vews were
(are??) rather conservative and I'm not particularly fond of "alternative"
movements, including feminazis, save-the-whalers, liberal blubbering idiots,
new-agers and other assorted "freely thinking" crowds. So, finishing off
with something like "Hugs and kisses" or "Smooch" or "Love You All" or just
"Love" was another way of poking fun at these people. Well, somehow "Love"
stuck so I stayed with it, even though I have mellowed down some and my
views have turned a bit libertarian (instead of just "conservative", if
anyone cares to make the distinction).
>In this
>connection, is Love a consequence of the realization of the truth or One,
>according to Advaita Vedanta?
Well, that's true.
But the fact that in a serious discussion about spirituality love
happens to be Love happens to be God happens to be One, is more of a
coincidence (with how I sign off) then anything else. Such discussions
though are extremely rare and so a possible misunderstanding hasn't been a
problem.

Oh, I didn't expect an answer at all. You always manage to surprise me. It's
nice you answer all my questions, and seriously;))And I appreciate your
reluctance to share it. But yes, it's not a good thing to discuss your
spiritual experiences with anybody, except, may be with just a few... I find
it hard because if anything like that "happens to me" which is not that often
in my case, I always have the urge to share it:(( But afterwards I somehow
feel a loss of some kind.... I did this once with a friend and after I shared
something, he said:"Oh, I have never experienced anything like that", so this
took away from the joy... And who knows, may be I was even about to feel
proud of myself:((
And if your Divine Lover was that attractive and lovable, wouldn't you want
to stay with her forever (as One) rather than go back into the "dark old
world" and preach? Oh, if she asked you to do that, then you couldn't refuse
Her, but if She/He :) didn't, then why do it? And how many would believe you
anyway? It seems to me that being "The Son of God on Earth" is an awfully
hard and lonely task... Usually no understanding, no recognition, no
ego-gratifying experiences of any kind and very possible persecution from the
(how should I say) not as poor in spirit representatives of humankind. One
could only do that out of Love, wouldn't you agree:)))?

I have found some teachings that analyze the nature of the mind which might
not be a bad thing to consider, leading, I think, to better understanding of
oneself. But forceful stopping of the mind is a delusion, and it's true that
if one tries to stop their mind they will be bitterly dissapointed, as you
said, they would get stuck in the technical problem of doing that.
How do you make this

O.K., I have now some satisfaction that at least something is clear to me
(regarding your system) and I can slow down my asking questions a little bit;)

I don't really want to get entangled in a senseless arguing about love/Love
because who can benefit from such a thing, you or me? Let me make an attempt
to give some part of my side about that, briefly. I think that people ascribe
many things to love that don't really belong there, I don't claim to
understand it all, if I did, I wouldn't be writing to you now. Because, as
someone nicely said, those who talk, don't know, and those who do, don't
talk:) SO I guess I am talking from a "twilight zone" between knowing and
ignorance. So people talk about love, and I do, and they don't know it. But
they have the "stamp" from it in their souls. And they know it at the same
time. The way they know is not in words. It's a gentle presence, that hides
and shies away easily, but there are moments when it shines through, even if
it is for a second. Have you had the experience when it just "hits" you and
you need time to think about it and realize what that was? And have you ever
felt that if you talked about it, or even thought about it long enough, you
lost something from it? that the initial beauty and magic was going away
slowly but surely? It almost seems that "coming to a harsher world, so to
speak", Love withered because it couldn't survive the poisonous:) fumes :((
But have you also experienced the power, freedom and joy it gives you, all
those things you received as a gift, and feel like a "crowned prince" (in the
spiritual sense). Even if it was for a moment, it was real, at that moment.
And afterwards, sometimes if you tried to cling hard to it, that didn't help.
And afterwards all these other things came that you attached to that love,
and identified them with it? I am just telling you these because it's hard to
relate unless you experience it. Love is. And depending on what you love, you
tend to absorb it's qualities, because love is identification with the
object. And it's easy, I don't think it's easier for women to love but who
knows... Love gives you wings that pure intellect can't. It's almost as if
love and intellect belong to separate worlds but they reside together in the
human being, usually the priority given to the intellect. Well, intellect is
what governs this world, wouldn't you agree? And definitely has the
appearance of having much more power, making more sense and providing more
stability. This is the official "veruyu" of everybody. That's how people
function, they need to think everything through. Is it possible there are
things one cannot think through, where intellect is helpless, has its
limitations and can do no more? There, that's where love will take you
further, where the intellect has no say, no power, into the irrational.
That's where, in the irrational - love governs there. I don't need you to
agree or disagree, and I am not placing it against anything you've said so
far, but just wanted to share a little bit.

I don't know, there is a reason for everything that you can find sooner or
later. Was your tolerance level lower than it is now;)

I feel respect for people who csan do such things with humor because I can't.

Well, it's hard for me to relate really, but may be I could if it were a

What is liberatarian, I've never heard the word, I don't think. Is it not
quite liberal but not too conservative either?

Whatever happens, happens for Her sake. So, if I'm in the "dark old
world" preaching, it's also for Her sake. And how is it that the world is
old and dark if it is Her world, the world She created?

Out of boredome, I guess. :-))
Or maybe because She is so attractive and lovable that I want to share
Her with everybody else.

Who cares? If I preach, it's not for their sake. It's for Her sake!

The phrase shouldn't be taken literally. After all, the one who said

It's a lot like the one who said: "I'm a liar!" Was he?

But that's the only state that matters - the "twilight zone", since when

Yes. As a matter of fact, I've been "hit" so hard, that it shattered my
imaterial body to pieces. It wraped my aura to such an extend that any aural
bodyshop I went to refused to patch me up. Ever since that moment, the
harmonics at which my Personal Atman broadcasts have been altered and even I
have sometimes problems understanding Her, much less anyone else. Or, to say
it in a more understanding manner, the front drive of my all-terain Cosmic
Vehicle is
out of alignment.

Yes, it's possible. Not only possible but axiomatic.
Philosophy follows the same rules of logic that science follows. The
reasoning process is identical. Well, while phylosophy has "blindly"
assumed that reason maybe cannot exhaust Reality, science has demonstrated
that in a definite manner.

Who was that Son of God who said: "Unless you're like this lil' one"

Something like that. In simple terms, libertarians hold conservative
views on economical and fiscal issues, but liberal views on social issues.
For example, they are pro-business, no taxes, blah-blah while at the same
time they are pro-choice, pro-freedom, blah-blah. Kinda the best of both
worlds, imo.

I meant the world that we perceive with our "gros" senses and that most of us
take to be as the only reality.
Otherwise the world is perfect the way it is, I suppose, how could it not be
if the Only One who really matters and who is, created it. But I "sense" that
there is much more to Life than the reality of this world as it appears, like
there is all this "hidden" beauty and harmony and happiness, existing side by
side with the grosser world, which is grosser because it is perceived by
grosser senses, or senses per se.

Oh, you mean that recognition and understanding don't matter if you were J.
Christ? And the fact that you are sharing and a lot of them don't know what
you are talking about doesn't matter either? Don't know. It sure seems to me
that even when you talk out of love for Him/Her and share your Love and Joy,
it will be nice to have a few ones who can embrace the Truth the same way as
you do. And what is more, people would tend to disbelieve a real Son of God,
for one thing the world is full of them candidates, for another most people
don't have the "tool" to recognize a true one when they see Him/Her.

Let's see, I've had times in my life when I would spend a day or two not
talking at all (to anybody), not watching TV or listening to the radio and I
would daydream or meditate or whatever and I did notice a certain
accumulatiion of "spiritual power", certain peace and joy overtaking me that
weren't so usual otherwise. My experience is that talking does dissipate the
perception and as you say, it happens when you try to express the Limitless
via the Limited. So it is like a spiritual law. that's how I understand the
above sentence. I talk because my mind makes me think that by talking I'll
understand more and better. Sometimes I say it and then it appears as a
separate entity which can be viewed from another perspective...

Because I have a hard time hurting other people's feelings even if they have
hurt mine, and it looks like putting someone down too much, or degrading them.
Usually the way it works with me is that I come to the end of my patience and
then explode without any humor which is not good:(
But I like your humor otherwise.

HUh?? No.
Stanley Kubrick is a very cool director ...of a cult status. The
mainstream knows him for a Full Metal Jacket, while everyone else knows him
for Clockwork Orange.

Vij sega. Az doydoh na SCB tochno zaradi neveroyatnata

poniakoga biah obgradena s bezbroy liubimi priateli,
prekrasni liubimi, semeystvo i kakvo li ne... Spomenah tova
oshte v postingqt, s koyto se predstavih.
Razbira se - ne utochnih tochno kakva samota, a
zapochnah da pisha sluchki iz lichnia si jivot. Obratno na
povecheto hora - az ne kria nishto ot lichnia si jivot, no
dqlboko kria imenno mislite si, dushata si, ako moga taka
da se izrazia - imenno tova, svqrzano sqs samotata.
Moga da razgovariam s decata si - veche dosta golemi - na
2 i 16 god - za vsichko, dori za religii, za filosofii, kolko
mnogo neshta znayat i te - ot kqde li??? S mqja si oshte
poveche. No NIKOGA za ONOVA.
Samo ne za TEZI neshta. Ne moga da gi opredelia s dumi.
Naricham gi samo Istinski Vajnite Neshta. Zarazkazvah az
tuk kakvo li ne - posreshtnaha me chudesno povecheto
hora. Dori "gadovete" na grupata se umqlchaha. I az
zapochnah edin mnogo dqlqg post "BITIE" - stignah do
Bitie 8 ili 9 - s koito niakak podgotviah auditoriata, za da
zagovoria za Istinskite Neshta. Niakak si posochvah pqtia,
po koyto stignah do Tiah. I kogato veche triabvashe da
zagovoria - vnezapno spriah - i nishto veche ne moja da me
nakara da prodqlja. Tochno kogato reshih, che may veche
sa dostatqchno podgotveni - izvednaj s ujas razbrah - ot
niakoi repliki, che vsqshtnost govoria na chujd ezik. Ne
"chujd" za tiah. Ne iskam da kaja, che niakakva goliama
propast ni deli. Ne, az vinagi mislia, che vsichki nosim tezi
neshta v sebe si. No MOYAT ezik e chujd - tova, koeto
pisheh ne kazvashe tova, koeto useshtah. Vse se
ponasiashe po povqrhnostta, po fakti i sluchki, a
sqshtnostta ostavashe nezasegnata. Skrita. Absoliutno ne
se poddavashe na obiasnenie. Ili Izkaz.
Samotata, koyato me gori, e tochno ot tozi tip,
nevqzmojnostta da se obshtuva ISTINSKI. Za Istinski
Vajnite Neshta. Dori da gi spomenavame i obsqjdame -
niakak si ne gi spodeliame. Daje mi se struva, che gi
obezlichavame.
Mnogo hora mi pisaha s razbirane, s udovolstvie, dori s
tochno sqshtata kato moyata Samota. No dori i pri nay-
goliamo jelanie za kontakt, dori da razgovariame za tezi
neshta - ne se poluchava :((((((( Edin dva posta - i izvednaj
razbirame, che niamame kakvo poveche da si kajem...
Taka sledia sega vashite razgovori za religiata. I neshto mi
studenee... Izbroyavat se avtori. Termini. Uchenia. A
glavnoto izbiaga.
S indiyskite uchenia sqm zapoznata oshte ot 60te godini
:)))) Tochno togava beshe bumqt im. Mnogo sa
zavladiavashti v nachaloto. Moje bi zashtoto izvednaj ti

Tova ne me privlicha. Ne me interesuva da si spasiavam i
izdigam sobstvenata dusha. Privlicha me da podpalvam

On the other hand, you never know if it matters or not. It's hard to

What do you understand by "The Son of God on Earth"? May be we mean different
things. Do you think He was the only one? And do you think He really got true
understanding and recognition? What about his closest disciples, for example?
And how many versions are there of The Bible today, how many times has The
Bible been revised (in England alone and then in the different churches) and
even The Bible itself is a compilation of different versions of supposedly
the same teaching. Do we know how far (or how close) the Bible as it is today
(let's assume it's one) is to the original teaching. Let me not continue here
because someone may accuse me of blasphemy:( This is kind of a trecharous
path to walk on and I will end here.

Such a Spiritual teacher comes for everyone but He knows who will respond and
who will pass by without ever noticing anything. And the criteria and reasons
are known to Him only, it's a kind of mystery. At the same time He knows that
noone fully realizes everything He says and He patiently
continues,(ultimately everybody has a free choice to do and understand or
accept anything they want), but He sees beyond certain appearances, he sees
the Soul in each one, and that's what He touches...

My understanding is that one can't recognize a Master (let's hope we agree on
this term) and fully comprehend everything He/She is saying unless one is in
that awareness. But intuition plays a role definitely. So it's not hopeless:)

Well, Jesus Christ was a Son of God on Earth, wasn't he?
>Do you think He was the only one?
No.
>And do you think He really got true understanding and recognition?
He certainly got recognition. After all, millions of people now pray in
His name. As far as understanding, some got some understanding, but "true
understanding"... I don't know about that.
>What about his closest disciples, for example?
I don't think they got true understanding. ...But then again, I never
met The Dude, they did. So how can we say who got what understanding?

It depends on what you mean by "original teaching". What Christ was
preaching was a rather old teaching. He wasn't much different then any other
"holy man", roaming the countryside, talking about God. But the teaching
itself changed drastically as it was taught by Christ (judging by all
records) and even more drastically after His death. So, whatever you may
mean by "original", it changed. :-))

That's all fine ...with the exception of you using the "He" thingy all
the time. You may include an occasional "She" so that you can help me fight
for the liberation of women and so forth. It doesn't always have to be a
male, you know.
...Although I must say that, imo, you have a highly stylized, idealized
notion of what a spiritual teacher might be like. My take on the issue is a
little bit different.

I prefer just a "teacher".

I believe so, from what other trustworthy sources have said:) He did have
followers who were ready to die for his ideas, especially after his death.
Christianity became more widespread after his death. I mostly meant while he
was alive. Because it is then that matters. Afterwards people can glorify
you, crucify you, put words in your mouth you never said or modify them to

Yes, that's difficult to say especially when one is struggling with one's own
understanding. But I know that early Christianity was quite different from its
contemporary form, even with the various churches.

Well, that's my own perception of a Spiritual Teacher, and it definitely
doesn't exclude women (I know there are women-......) but for me personally
became a fixed idea in my mind that a Teacher that would appeal to me is a
man, may be it's easier for me to listen to a man than a woman in that
respect, for some reason.
And what's your notion of what a spiritual teacher might be like? (Or is
like?)

Still a Master. The English language doesn't have masculine/feminine for a lot
of words and I don't have a problem. The same as a teacher, what would be the
feminine for a Teacher, a Temptress, or smth. like that?:)

The more revealing answer would be to the question what is a spiritual
teacher NOT like, at least imo. First, he's not from India or an Asian
country. Second, he is not old and with a long, white beard. Third, he
doesn't talk about abstinence, chastity, high morals and kundalini. Forth,
he doesn't have a bunch of long-haired, wide-eyed groupies sitting in a
circle around him, absorbing every word of the "swami". ...Well, you get the
idea.

Lots of Baptists would disagree with you. :-))
They'll quote something about Him being "the only begotten Son of God".
Speaking of Begotten (and linking a previous thread) have they shown in
Bulgaria the flick Begotten? Very alternative ... I mean, very!

Life is very "Brazil" (insane and Kafkaesque) but so is the built environment.
I felt this particularly in the nebulous years between postmodernism and
deconstructivism. Both were ugly, exaggerations on a derivative theme, and
desperate to be funded in order that someone might be accorded star "signature
designer" status.

and many of them are extant, even many of the Sibylline texts are extant so what
kind of impression should be left?. We are used to thinking about the New
Testament corpus in the west in western terms but some of the apocrypha is
accepted.

the Old Law is transformed in Christ. It is the New Temple, the New Jerusalem
and it is thought of precisely that way even today. Stephan, consider the study
on the Synagogue at Dura Europus (Dunbarton Oaks Papers? Can't remember, but
look it up) The relationship between the early Christian Churches and
hellenistic judaism is striking. Just look! Also confer in Wellescz's Studies
in Byzantine Chant, the comparisons between extant middle eastern synagogue
singing and early Christian chant both in form, structure and even melodies.
Also, unrelated but interesting , in the latter the discussion of Romanos's
melodies and Syrian folk music.

I know they will.... and not only they..... But then, my Catholic education
comes to help and combined with some skills in history it might become very
aggressive.
In practical terms this means to combine readings from the Vulgata with
listing the
anathemas to monophysits (those who professed the one and only nature of
Christ) passed by the early church councils. Then the baptists will turn to
trivial heretics: to Protestants just as they are. And I will lose track of
my Soul in this very moment.
This is to say, I do not wanna mix Faith with Religion. The Faith deals with
the Soul, religions deal with the Body.
Nevertheless, the double nature of Christ (divine and human) is presupposed
in every man
with the act of combining the Spirit of God with a handful of earth.
Nevertheless, Jesus seems to demonstrate how the Son of God, who is also Son
of Man, can be also God begotten.
Obviously, here the matter of Soul is concerned.
And there is another problem, is the handful of earth held together by the
soul, or rather vice-versa: the soul is kept in the body. In other words,
should the Faith organise a religion or the religion is to keep the Faith
down-to-earth.....
In the second case, I think, we loose our divinity.

Ha, somebody was complaining about people being anonymous, well I decided to
reveal my name and stuff, it's not fair to write so much and stay anonymous.
I was reluctant at first because there is one person from the group who knows
me and I was't sure how he was going to react to all my spiritual discussions
and whom else it would reach here in Ames, but hey, who cares? It's a free
country, isn't it?

Zavisi kakvo vlaga chovek v dumata religia. Ako e v smisql na organizirana
religia, vinagi svqrzana s politikata, tova si e samata istina. Tia napravo
utrepva duha:( A ako se misli za religia kato vrqzka na choveka s Visheto si
Nachalo :) to tuka mi se shte da tsitiram edin mqdqr chovek, kogoto poznavam:
"What is genuine religion? Religion is an individual experience. It is a
realization. No man can say exactly what beauty is. It is an experience based
upon a relation between things and individual intelligence. Beauty is a joy
springing up out of that relation. Beauty is a step toward reality. In essence
beauty is a form of love. It is a ray of light from the infinite heart of
things. So is religion. It is a light.It is love. It is joy. True religion
exists only when the soul finds joy in the infinite..."
L./V.
Well, I thought we agreed how dangerous for one's potential is Faith tied to
religion.
Faith does not pressupose judging God. It requires to sail your sould to God
.
You must surrender and let the Holy Spirit in you.

I would very much like to have a Teacher one-on-one and available, not
withdrawn in some remote corner of the world(like the Himalayas) or in his
all-importance. And yes, I agree with the above NOT's in the sense that he
doesn't have to be those things but he still could be. Why pose restrictions

I just thought of some things that I didn't mention when I wrote the reply to
you. At that time I hadn't seen your message so I kept quiet until I saw it, 8
days later.
I was reading a book where kundalini was mentioned and remembered you talking
about it. I was in a certain group of meditating people which I disliked to a
great extent (won't go into details) and the practice they had, involved as I
realized later, raizing of the kundalini and turned out to be very disturbing
for some people. Nobody ever mentioned that, people were led blindly and
turned into similar shadows, molded and, assembled on a production line.I
don't know if the kundalini had anything to do with it... These people had no
discrimination of their own,(in their vast majority) don't know why. About
high morals, the sense of right and wrong is something we are trained in, for
the most part but there seem to be laws in this world which if we break,
we've got to pay the price. And that is as long as we are in this world(or as
long the world is in us). If we are out of it consciously there are no laws
to break. That's how I see it now.
