It hasnt been established that Direct Path Advaita is even a system. Has anyone heard of it before gatito? Ive heard the phrase Direct Path used by Robert Adams, BUT THAT IS NOT GATITOS DIRECT PATH

even cavemen had atman

Atman is just sanskrit for identity

Adi Shankara himself attacked all the other indian systems Lmao at Advaita being nonsectarian. Utter lies.

Swartz, Anadi, Foster, gatito etc. all attack other advaitins. Medieval Advaitins did the same.

Gatito you have a thread in your own forum, where you trash neoadvaitins. And then you say you only follow two or three guys, which you brand as direct path.

you have extreme cognitive dissonance. You trash certain advaitins, and praise others.

There is no such thing as Direct Path Advaita.

There is nothing direct about Advaita. There is no direct introduction, nor even a premise that you are supposed to recognize anything. Its lower than Zen.

Buddhists don't negate a Hindu atman. They just negate atman period. Yes I know the Dalai Lama says differently, but that's not correct.

You keep repeating that Advaita has fewer sectarian trappings. But even Gatito differentiates between his "Direct Path" bullshit Advaitins and other Advaitins. Why don't you all get on the same page, and then start posting?

Jetsun is saying Advaita is superior.

Come on now. Buddhists, in general, band together. You can't say that with Advaitins.

I already point outed the several schools of medieval Advaita, and gave a reference. And I already pointed out modern Advaitins attack each other all the time.

I think you are talking about Mahamudra, not Advaita.

You guys are now contradicting yourself. Jetsun said Madhyamaka is tied to religion and sectarianism, but Advaita Vedanta is not. I pointed out that Advaita Vedanta is the one tied to both religion and sectarianism.

You guys are proud of trolling? Wow.

I know you guys like trolling.

We don't put forth a philosophical position: Nagarjuna said "If I had any position, I thereby would be at fault. Since I have no position, I am not at fault at all." Aryadeva said "Against someone who has no thesis of “existence, nonexistence, or [both] existence and nonexistence,” it is not possible to level a charge, even if [this is tried] for a long time." End of thread

1. You only think that because Neoadvaitins want to divorce Advaita Vedanta from Hinduism, just like they divorced yoga from Dharma. Adi Shankara believed in, and wrote about, Vishnu, Krishna etc. Advaita Vedanta is Hindu. 2. There are several conflicting "Advaita Vedantas". Some assert liberation is only upon death, while others assert liberation while alive. Some assert the locus of ignorance is within persons, while others assert its within Brahman. And on and on. Read The Essential Vedanta.

Are you using IE 11? Its not compatible with Tao Bums

I read your post before you lost it. Sounds like Milorganite, the fertilizer made from human shit.

Nungali, What can your Philosopher's Stone do?

Avoid channeled material like the Koran Read Sirens Call of Hungry Ghosts: "No matter how I mulled over the range of possible explanations, I always returned to the premise that the voices and their distinct personalities were generated by mischievous, and possible malevolent, discarnates. " "But most of all I pondered the significance of the lying and manipulations channeled in the exalted name of guides and spiritual teachers and camouflaged as love, wisdom and solicitousness." "Every reference that I uncovered concerning earthbound spirits seemed to fit the channeling phenomenon at large......These earthbound spirits or, in Tibetan Buddhist phraseology, pretas or "hungry ghosts." are individuals whose minds, at the point of physical death, have been incapable of disentangling from desire." "....evolved nonphysical entities influence humanity telepathically, without speech.......The discarnate spirits who are making themselves available though channeling are united in their desperate need for love."
