Reprehensible, that he was trolling you. Interesting that he mentioned having students of his own, presumably with regard to Judaism? Big "S"... dunno why that came out that way. Yes, interesting. 2 hours ago, Mark Foote said: I do appreciate the admins, and more so for hearing the allowance that was given to Daniel. To belabor the point, everything I do, including moderation is based on my bodhisattva vow. I guess I hoped that he might be someone who could change, or had just had a hard day. It was my mistake. 2 hours ago, Mark Foote said: Writing a piece now about what is transmitted, when transmission is claimed. I did quote some of it. I agree with you and Dwai (& ol'3bob too), that it's a real thing, that there are teachers who tap into something and convey something, yet the thing that we all bring to Dao Bums is a profound desire to be able to repeat the experiment. To find the thought initial and sustained that, together with "the essential place", trip us over the light fantastic to drop body and mind in one sitting, or on demand. I'd love to tell you what IS transmitted in my case, but that is generally frowned upon. I'll just say that it ISN'T enlightenment. What I do hope is that anyone on a non-dual path of whatever persuasion knows that it IS possible to complete it. It isn't a fable. 2 hours ago, Mark Foote said: I'll have the Bacon McDouble (it's for the cat)! Make mine an Impossible Whopper with cheese. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
