It is strange how warm gooey sentiment has enveloped what could have been an even-minded study of this text.

I think obsession is more indicative of the many projections of sentiment into this thread.

Your approach from the very beginning seems to be to find a "heart", and then squeeze the life out of it. But this thread is not about such an object of interest.

So I tried to toss you "a bone", but you wouldn't touch it. That's the best I can do.

Personally, I have never felt so free than in these last few months - I study and practice formally now, and it is also more than that. I suppose you could call that obsession if you want. I call it graduating, and I call it philosophy, and a practice. Each of these namesakes is a convention, and a possible attachment, but I will deal with that.





Look at how many people chimed in to your study. If you could just get off your high horse you might get somewhere.

Why don't you just continue your practice and forget the posting. That is until you learn how to communicate with the lesser mortals.:satansmoking:

I will address your continued projections succinctly in another thread, where I can prove it succinctly.

Here it just seems to be a circuitous narrative of itself.

Wait just a moment and I will address your concern.

Until then hold onto your britches

if you want to be liberated, be liberated
and if you want to have compassion, have compassion
I don't see why you need to understand them first

As I understand projection, you never stop projecting your inner landscape and belief constructs onto your perceptions.


Got it?


--------------------
My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.

-Icelander-

I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!
