Great souls also suffer a great deal in witness to the inhumanity of mankind to mankind that results in the loss of mankind's spiritual potential to do otherwise in those cases...they sure in the hell "are not above it all" or walk around in spiritual pretense spouting terms like, "straw dogs".

I don't buy into the nihilistic type gobbledygook of that quote... of course we exist as separate, unique and evolving souls or soul bodies created/woven/emanated in the image of and as facets of "God"; and doing so for countless eons until or when soul finally and fully evolves and merges back into the Ocean from which it came. (btw. if we want to get abstract and cryptic we can say that it never really left, which is nice sounding and true in a transcendental way) but in the meantime does soul also suffer besides the suffering of all the vehicles it takes on, I'd say yes which is why soul is seeking it's Soul. (my take on such matters)

Well the Katha Upanishad could be of some help in hearing of such meanings... (wherein a student meets death as his teacher)

please don't kick my ass, I couldn't help myself...

The Upanishads (recounted from Self Realized Rishi's) point to an eternal, non-changing, non-dualistic Brahman/Atman....which I'd say does not mean in any way that the soul body does not change and evolve after Self- Realization. (or another way of saying it is that the soul realizes that its Soul is Brahman yet it still evolves which is another subject for debate among various schools)

also sounds like, "unity in diversity"

this could also be thought of in mathematical like terms, for the laws of the universe will answer to a problem or need so to speak. Thus a sincere call can not go without a sincere response. (not unlike the working of an equation)

Not to sound preachy but one may consider that there is Brahman/Atman in the cave of heart, even if kundalini and life went very wrong...

more power to women's obliques, which happen to be dualistic...

hmm, ah, well, Om...

Far out man! and thanks.

my doctor said I'm low on vitamin D, maybe that's it?

I suggest looking up Gopi Krishna if you have not already? "Living with Kundalini": The Autobiography of Gopi Krishna (Shambhala Dragon Editions) Paperback – November 9, 1993 at Amazon. There is (or was?) an organization related to his works and people there that might be able to help you in whatever ways? I don't remember if it was this book or another one of his where he goes into great detail about Kundalini gone very wrong (even though he meant well) and it burning him up... which he very fortunately mitigated and overcame through included descriptions. There are true and advanced Kundalini masters who can catch Kundalini so to speak, but they are maybe one in several million people, thus I'd say not easy to find but hopefully possible for you.

ah, I hear the definition to be a type of sarcasm.... for instance when some one says something like, "you think so" and not really meaning it, thus in a condescending way.

"Something about damned by faint praise seems applicable"....I'm not familiar with that one?

hey guy, fyi it was you who started with the interjection so don't lecture at me for doing so.

sounds sad on both counts thanks to the powers of greed that be...

and you have sounded so wise lately...

its sad Natural for those that bought bitcoin for 50k and now its down to 19k and probably dropping further...

well dude its going on lunch time now and some of us are getting hungry while waiting...if money is a problem we will all chip in some virtual bucks, or how about some crypto coins before they go to zero?

CT, Is there any particular part of your nose that you feel compelled to insert here for someone else? I'd say the Lady can very easily speak for herself.

so Mark are you going to cook the rest of us a virtual breakfast, from the picture it looks like you are qualified to do so? (and how about some blueberry scones to go with?)

That looks real enough and supplies proteins, fats and carbs even if it is an "illusion".

so again we have that 4 letter word of "illusion" pop up, btw where is real illusion?

"It's stealing, I guess, if someone lays claim to it, as an author. It's stealing if one holds that idea up as their own creation, and has their ego entrenched in it. To that person, it would be stealing. I agree with you there...." By Manitou Umm, this was enough. A manifesto is not needed to shuttle away from this context, imo.
