I understand what you are saying. I'll be honest. I skim so lightly whatever Nabby says, that I really can't say what Tart was responding to. But I liked Tart's response. Evidently he was choosing not to respond directly to something Nabby said, and chose to go off on his own tangent. One thing to point out. This was something the great Master, MMY used to do constantly. It was one of his defining characteristics.
Would you care to comment on Tart's assertion that duality it ultimately a mirage, and that the true reality is one of unity? Or does he need follow some dialogue protocal before we can comment on that? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ravi Yogi <raviyogi@...> wrote: > > Steve, > > Judy is spot on - say you are an enlightened man and are confronting your child for lying and in walks a retarded tartbrain who says - hey you enlightened man, you shouldn't be confronting your child for lying because it's all love bliss, I bet you will smack tartbrain so hard that his intellectually aroused head will start fitting in his hat for a few days at least. > > > On Nov 5, 2011, at 8:21 PM, "seventhray1" steve.sundur@... wrote: > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" jstein@ wrote: > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, tartbrain no_reply@ wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > Vaj belives that if a lie is repeated often enough it becomes > > > > > a truth.

I found Tart's statement to be the best of the week. It describes the path from ignorance to realization. The lie of seperation, the truth of unity. The lotus came up from the mud, so to speak. I suppose Vaj will either back up his statement or choose to ignore the direct contradictory testimony. But I'll take Tart's tagent. Hey, that'd be a good name for a blog. > > > > >
