I found that an interesting statement, to say the least. Here is a snip to Judy from Xeno that partially addressed the statement. Have a good one.
"And how did you do on the test Judy? In his absence I gave Barry 100% by taking the test for him. I feel Barry is more spiritually advanced than Robin, and if I had to pick him or Robin as a teacher, Barry would be the better choice because he does not care who I am, and would not put up with spiritual nonsense from me. That does not mean he would be the best teacher for me, just more useful than Robin. At any time in one's life, a teacher, a book, a movie, any experience that moves you along even if that source is just a tenth fraction more 'advanced' than you, it does the job. A great master, if such exist certainly would be useful if one can be found, but as long as progress is made anything will do. In the end progress is illusory but that is the cosmic joke. The punch line of spirituality takes longer to get than any other joke in the universe, at least as far as humans are concerned. The butt of the joke is personal ontology." ________________________________ From: awoelflebater <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 9:14 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] mind boggling So Xeno writes the other day to Judy: "I feel Barry is more spiritually advanced than Robin" This alone made my head spin. But just, for example, take a look at Robin's commentary to Emily after she took his quiz yesterday (post 317866) and explain to me how you could possibly argue for this point Xeno. What exactly is your definition of spiritual? Maybe it is something I don't want to aspire to or can view as a positive thing if that is your assessment. If spirituality has anything whatsoever to the quality of heart, openness, willingness to understand, desire to be transformed by truth and life, sensitivity to other living creatures then, dear Xeno, I think you have miscalculated badly - your assertion has missed the mark.
