You Guys

[jse]

It appears that you guys have a lot of work ahead for you:

Quote

I don't think you guys appreciate the degree of depth of insight possible.

You guys would REALLY benefit from reading the entire The Law of One series and paying very close attention what Ra is teaching you.

The reason I brought this book to you guys is not because I think it to be all true.

I NEVER ask you guys to follow the classic guru path.

You guys deserve a trophy for how many times this thread has been derailed.

I would caution you guys to refrain from judging unless you're actually willing to put your money where your mouth is and take a 30g dose.

You guys really don't like practicing openmindedness.

The problem is that you guys who think you know about nonduality by learning it from Jed McKenna or the like, is that you generally don't do research.

You guys have already failed the openmindedness test.

I will just again point out to you guys a very common-sense point: THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOUR DESIRE TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED.

Nah... I just posted the first random pic that I found.  My low quality of consciousness doesn't allow me to come to that realization.

@jse mastering the art of teaching and mastering the art of learning are two sides of the same coin, which is mastering the art of living. and it takes a life time.

if you feel uncomfortable with those "you guys" phrases, it may be a sign of some inner conflict which needs to be worked on, and this is good.

i'd invite you to feel spirited instead.

Lol. Had a good laugh at the first post for some reason. How long did it take to collect these phrases?

Not long - it's common dialogue for our resident Zen master.

Whack!  Ouch!  Whack!  Ouwww...

"Up on next week's episode of the real housewives of actualized.org:  Leo storms out of his apartment, after his followers gossip about his best friend Ra, and his book."

I thought this thread a joke until I gave it some serious consideration.

The phrase 'you guys' contains 3 vowels.

THREE. Which is half of six.

666 to be precise. Is Leo the devil?

For the answer, we take the remaining consonants, y, y and s.

y ys = Why, yes. 

 

Cuff em, boys.

It's become increasingly clear to me that an attack on someone else's position is always in defense of ones own position. And ones own position only needs defending if you rely on it to validate and affirm yourself, even though it can't actually stand on its own. It needs constant emotional reinforcement and warding against scrutiny in order to perform its real function.

As an example, that's basically what I was doing lately when I was ranting against Leo. Whether Leo is "right" or not is beside the point. I don't know that he is right, any more than I know that he is wrong. The point is that my attacks are always only about myself.

That's the automatic response of the identity mechanism, to something that is perceived as a threat to its own survival. That's how it started in the first place, and that's how it is maintained.

As another example, I'd suggest that the same is happening in this thread.

 

@jse

Half of the "battle" of enlightenment is (on the relative side) is learning how to interpret experience properly.

When you attack someone, you basically attack the thought of them in your own mind, in your own experiential world. 

This is the hard part, because most of us literally think "the world" is out there.  It IS out there, but what we experience is only in here, our thoughts and interpretation of what is happening out there, we tend to use attacks in order to defend our position.  Which is dysfunctional.  But what else can we do if we have been conditioned this way, and conditioned ourselves to respond in this way our whole life?  Its a human thing, its nothing personal.

The way to get around this is to employ different ways of responding to our own thoughts so that we dont injure ourselves when somebody is doing something we dont like.  Its fair to say that what the causal body serves us is fairly accurate because it is not riddled with ignorance.  It is the intellect that is riddled with ignorance, and its the intellect that interprets what the causal body serves us in the way of thoughts and feelings.  So be compassionate about others mistakes and delusions, they are growing and are climbing their way out of delusion just like the rest of us.  Understand that they are ignorant, but respond in kind ways that dont injure yourself or others even if they ARE being dicks.

Leo has not done nearly enough work to be doing what he is doing - serving others on the spiritual path.  That much is clear, because the causal body never lies.  But this doesnt mean we cannot cut him some slack and allow him his platform to try to do this thing.  Hes trying, like all of us, hes a kindergarten teacher for kindetgarten level students, and hes serving a purpose.  Hes not going to tranform humanity, but he will make some difference here and when people are ready for better, a teacher and a teaching will appear.  When the student is ready, the master will appear.  Leo is the master for newbies, and he serves his purpose in this capacity well.  nothing wrong with it, just need to learn to accommodate it and allow it because it is God.
