BrokenYogi Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I joined this forum a few weeks ago, but have been unable to post. I'm not sure why, or how to get approved to post. I sent a private message to the admin, but never got a reply. So I would much appreciate it if someone might help get me some sort of ability to post, however temporary or tentative, so that I might join in on some of the conversations here. If not, I understand, but would appreciate an explanation. ******************** Thanks for adding me! Okay, as to personal stuff, I have a long history as a spiritual seeker, going back to the age of 12. Began with an enquiry into God, moved onto J. Krishnamurti, then Ramana Maharshi, bumped into Papaji in 1974 in Switzerland when I was sixteen, then met Bubba Free John at 17, with whom I enjoyed and suffered a very long relationship up until a decade or so ago, at which point I left and was drawn back to Ramana and self-enquiry. Also have a strong draw to Buddhism, especially through the four noble truths, which I feel is the best route to transcendence and the dzogchen approach. In general, I'm very eclectic and have a lot of rather strange ideas that reflect the strangeness of my background. I came across this forum by accident while looking for links to some obscure Buddhist scriptures and saw a discussion here on them. Don't know if I'll be posting much, I'm more interested in learning than pontificating, but don't get me started. Oh, I'm 56, am married with two grown children, and I live in the Mount Shasta area of northern California, on the edge of the forest, living a very simple and quiet life. hope that suffices as an intro Edited September 24, 2014 by BrokenYogi 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
