You are wasting our time Vag. You are also obviously afraid to answer those five questions. I guess we should expect anyone who is a fake like you to ardently refuse to answer questions about their background under any circumstance.
Your claim, though, that I practice "ceremonial magic" is quite funny and actually proves my point. When the Lama first came to my house and saw my traditionally carved Shiva-Lingam (not a Namadeshvara Lingam) he pointed to it and said ... "original tantra, very powerful". However , ceremonial magic cannot be equated with performance of Maha Rudra Abhishekam, which is what I do know how to do. Contrarily, ceremonial magic must be your actual background and is apparently all that you really know how to do. As for "state of least excitation" this means reduction of the functioning of "rajo-guna". sattvam laghu praaa'shakam i.s.tam upa.s.tambhakalm calam ca raja.h guru vara.naka eva tama.h pradipavac caa'rthato .vritth.i (Sankhya Karika, 13) Sattva is considered to be bouyant and illuminating Rajas is exiting and mobile, and Tamas is only heavy and enveloping. Like a lamp their function is to gain an end. To repeat what you failed to understand: "The words sama-dhi and sam-aa-dhi are different in meaning. Sama-dhi is not a cognate for Shamataa either." To equate these two terms is to indubitably demonstrate your shallow, hackney stance. As far as being a practicing "Greek Orthodox Christian" this also is quite funny. You are just so shallow you barely construct three planes trying to be so upright. What a joke you are. Of course, if I understood Modern Greek I might have done better with them. One of their priests tried to set me up one time for a marriage with one of them. She was really a knock out but I just don't like manipulating priests. Later I saw how extraordinary it would be but it was too late. Then again once you become Greek Orthodox there is no turning back. It is like the Mafia. As are you. So who is your Lama? Who are your gurus? Answer the simple questions. Or are you just a fake? .. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@...> wrote: > > > On Jul 9, 2011, at 8:25 PM, emptybill wrote: > > > You're just a bullshit con here, Vag. > > Thanks for the ad hominem, it add SO much to already non-existent logic! > > > The words sama-dhi and sam-aa-dhi are different in meaning.

And really none of your business - esp. for a slimeball like yourself, who takes in the occasional weekend dharma retreats in KC, while practicing ceremonial magic, claiming also to be a practicing Greek Orthodox Christian and who knows what else?
