I have also learned to recognise the importance of lineage.

A bit boring perhaps - but I do love Zaz

Particularly nice one. (Also, I reiterate, for the record, that I vote that thread moves to General Discussion.)

Speaks for itself really Thanks again in anticipation.

Nice! Reminds me of Paco Penya:- http://www.sadlerswe...show/Paco-Pena# (The clip's embedded in this page)

Yes. I like Chris too.

Hi TI I'm giving you the answers that I have been given to me by my teacher. One other thing that I have heard him say recenltly to someone else.... Real Advaita is living from real unknowing..... However, I paraphrase; and as this is a living teaching, the real teaching can be missed if one is not in the physical presence of one's teacher. I hope that helps to clarify my previous answers. g

The real deal.

That's the statment of a Jnani. (It's usually the result of a thorough investigation of present experience - unless it's another belief system. )

I'm not joking here TI and I don't need to ask my teacher about nirvikalpa samadhi. You asked some very serious questions and I gave you some very serious answers.

Interesting (and more to my musical tastes). It's not so much the instrument, I feel; although I prefer the more mature notes of the cello (in contrast to the violin). Perhaps what we have in common here is music for dancing, rather than music for listening? What do you think of this? http://www.youtube.c...h?v=dZn_VBgkPNY YoYo Ma Bach's Cello Suites. I find that it brings me to a place of deep stillness, peace and happiness Edit: P.S. Beautiful lily today.

%* me!!!!!!! My first miracle.

Hi TI Unfortunately, I can't ask my teacher at the moment. However, happily, I'm able to answer the question myself and I believe that the answer lies in the false premise inherent in the question. If nirvikalpa samadhi is timeless and objectles, how can it have a beginning and/or an ending? g

Please accept my apologies if I have caused offence MH - that was not my intention. Writing is not my forte and I am often clumsy in my choice of words. Yours sincerly, Gatito.

I thought that marines were fastidious about keeping their personal equipment clean? Surely a marine would wash his hands first?

Namaste and welcome lloyd.

Namaste and welcome Veritas. (I hope that your first name isn't Invino )

A good teacher is a good friend, although it is said that if you are sincere, even a stone will teach you. I think that this is probably true but very few teachers teach in that Way. (In fact, I know of only one that uses stones in that Way. ) This is something that I've just copme across and when I saw it I thought of you. I sincerely hope that it is useful. Namaste Informer.

Ouch!!

Hey TI Nirvikalpa samadhi is a gift of Grace. Also, I have heard my teacher say that courage is a gift of Grace. May you find such a teacher. g

I enjoy Eric Weissberg as well.

Interesting tie-in with the Camino de Santiago perhaps?
