DiamonD, I to have listened to or heard all sorts of stuff over the years (btw, I'm not familar with person you mentioned) and it wasn't enough to put me over the edge where some of same was coming from... (there are multiple factors)

great quote and picture Mal

Flolfolil, if you mean does karma sort things out, then yes and very exactingly so...

demons do laugh a lot but it is not a laugh with any trace of humanity in it...

"I think I'll try out that eternity trip someday"

Can the true Tao be connected to the or a false Tao? Such is more mental dualism and speculation... thus it comes down getting on with it which granted, at some point includes such speculations.

Jiva is Siva various schools are various schools

Do you sometimes find yourself cussing a lot (to much) in addition to seemingly having an invisible daytime boggie man tagging along to screw things up around or for you? Seemed like that kind of day today; regardless of all the stuff I know counter to same...

LOL, I remember cussing a lot in boot camp around 40 something years ago...Good Lord! And at my first duty assignment I worked with a New Yorker (no offense to other New Yorkers) whose every other word was a cuss word! After a while I think such attracts the Dark side. Top of the freezing ass morning to ya, oops

Dandelion tea can be found in mainstream grocery stores. I've bought the organic variation in such stores which has some other herbs mixed into it. I know it is a lot better for me than drinking bad coffee strained through cheap paper filters along with denatured white sugar.

It is often or at least sometimes heard from various spiritual resources that a human incarnation is hard to come by... I wonder about such a statement since it would also seem like saying karma is hard to come by, which seems to not be the case! I would better understand such a statement if it meant "hard to come by" if speaking in terms of the time and place for karmic law to play out in, but not in the sense of human incarnation being hard to come by only per chance or by odds since sooner or later karmic law will bring such (or its karmic equivalent) about. Your thoughts on the matter?

Strange, and I have no idea what is going on with my log off?

I wonder what in the heck the reason is? Mods?

Hi MH, Ah no absolutes, that is sad, then again sad is just the other half of glad so lets be glad while the getting is good

their is no absolute proof for anything that is not absolute... and the kicker is that only the absolute can prove that.

"Denouncing the idolatry" any real mystic has a good understanding of the use by non-physical beings of various "idols" for interaction or Darshan with physical beings... many so called intellects do not have such an understanding. Worship of gods is and has been part of "Hinduism" for who knows how many thousands of years? Granted there is misunderstanding and or abuse of this just like there is misunderstanding and or abuse in almost all areas of religions!

There is a zone, call it no souls zone, kind of like no mans land. That is not "it" to me, for the Self is free of such a zone and of nothing yet it can be alluded to as no-thing.

Thanks for feedback folks, deci, if you mean something like the tricky mind needs tricks to untrick it then maybe yes...

Glad to share some info. Sorry- but I don't know anything about the people or site you posted.

Hello, The Divine Life Society website has lots of excellent resources, (for instance http://swami-krishnananda.org/sitemap.html ) for a more "western" adaptation check out Eknath Easwaran. There are at least hundreds (thousands) other fine resources for study and comparison !! Good hunting to you.

Identification with being the "created" and or part of creation is part of evolution and has its place but it is not enough,

where the ducks never flew away

party pooper...

speculation has its place but will come to an end...
