I realize you don't get out much but this is rather far fetched. I am talking about spiritual groups related to TM I must say I'm impressed at your patience with this bullshit Xeno. But perhaps it's time to point out the irony in what's happening. Here we have a bunch of people with not much to say about anything claiming that "mean old Bawee" stopped them from posting because he was such a mean old meanie. And here they are pouring abuse on you in the same way they claim he used to get at them! I've said these people have no sense of awareness but isn't this taking it too far? I think that amoeba I posted about yesterday has a better grasp of what's going on than Ms "Back for More". Lets make a challenge out of it. If it was the Big Bad Wolf stopping conversations here then why haven't they started again? How come it's looking more like a teenage girl's facebook page every day? If you were being prevented from posting, start posting. Start a thread, say something interesting, tell us something we didn't know, give us an insight into something - anything. But stop this dumb harassment of Xeno, you're just making yourself look stupid, he's got more to say than the rest of us put together. If you can't manage a whole thread you can share brain cells until you've thought of something. Better still, have a look back through the archives at some of Barry's pieces about creative writing. He posted some good essays on how to get started on the subject because, like me, he got fed up of the lack of participation and one line posts that add nothing that infest this place. But any appreciation of Barry's writing and contributions about archaeology, travel or history or even TV reviews would be a way of admitting that he made up a huge part of what was worth reading. Can't have that eh? Got to paint him bad and use him to blame your lack of meaningful participation on. When was the last time Judy started a thread? Hell, when was the first time Judy started a thread! Make an effort, stop the hypocritical bullshit or this place will drown in bland your pap. Xeno, until we removed the biggest impediment to a real conversation this place was being relentlessly moderated by that impediment. No one was exempt from his malicious and twisted lies and false allegations, not to mention bone-headed conclusions, except those who agreed with and stroked his ego. For you to assert that FFL, of all places, was "the best place to find a decent conversation", is perverse if not simply bizarre. It is the ideas and what you can learn from them, or make out of them, not the people that propose them that I find interesting. What you do not like, skip over or delete (if you interact by email). Perhaps all of us have had an idol that did not live up to the image we pretended to ourselves that they were. In the movement, even shortly after one started to get involved with TM, there were strange warning signs something was amiss, and we would ignore it. The main problem is human beings are never ever really a match for the ideals they create. Still, we can sometimes extract value out of a much-less-than-what-we-would-consider-ideal situation. Funny, I wrote a post about this very thing to MJ. The big difference was I made it personal, I used "I" a lot whereas you tend to keep things in the abstract. Dry and brittle, a tad pedantic; I'm hoping you weren't a teacher or professor in your working days - the class would have been on snooze fer sure. Sorry, but it's true. No, I was not a teacher or a professor, so no one had to fall asleep on my account. I used to live next to a professor of engineering. He would come over and talk for hours in a monotone. Most of the time, in 'person' I don't talk that much. As for an 'I', you think you are a person. Too bad, what a loss. Ho, ho, hee, hee, snort. That is fucking hilarious!! And thank you for that. You have seriously missed the boat, lost the thread, stumbled off the platform. There is no loss Xeno, you evidently misunderstood something when you became "enlightened" or read the wrong book or misinterpreted some sage. There is no "too bad" for living amid personhood. I can vouch for that. Whatever you have lost, you need to find it again, and soon before you leave that body of yours. It's all in the eye of the beholder, and it's 'eye', not eyes. POVs are not interchangeable. I have not lost anything that is real. I lost a lot of other stuff though. I could lose some more; it is a waste of time to seek what cannot be found.
