Gin, vermouth, and a half a lemon, shaken mightily. Then poured into a big huge martini glass, preferably one that is lighted up. I like pretty lights.

its just as easy to say what is...
as it is to say what isn't.
what you get out of it is up to you.
beliefs go as far as to say that "all beliefs are bullshit."
or..."I believe that traffic sucks"
or "everyone has a belief whether they like it or not"
beliefs are everywhere in our heads.
do you want to get rid of all of them?
you could...but a lot of our beliefs are based on our experiences.
what works for me might not work for you. I believe beliefs are the same way
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

NUUHH! I'm teellllliinnng!
ahhh i can't resist. isn't a child's smile resting on a face of adult understanding pretty much the goal, no matter the path?
I voted.. Maybe. just because there is bullshit, and there's not-bullshit, and even if someone's spouting bullshit they usually do tend to come around to realize it. maybe not now, maybe not for a few years, but bullshit's pungent. tends to make itself noticed, smells worse the deeper you get into it.
ps make mine a scotch, neat, in a narrow glass preferably pps nevermind i'll make it

I find it's really fun to go up while going down. and really really fun to go up and down, but i'm just saying that because of the ^^ ps up there, and it made me laugh because it came to mind that that's a pretty sly lil bit of sexual innuendo heheh

This is a dead horse. So spiritual paths can translate into escapism. Most young people are startled, looking to escape the stresses of their transitions. Fine. Always, our escapism is what leads us full-circle into a confrontation with our fears. The wrongly motivated spiritual path easily becomes what carries us into meaningful transformation, which is the essence of spiritual life.
Delusion is not an inherent trait of spiritual life. Self-deciet is not innate in religion. That's childish thinking.
What is it that motivates some people to criticize others so harshly for what appears as an escapist attitude motivating spiritual thinking? It is their own inability to accept themselves. People judge others only when they are unable to remain content with themselves. Sometimes it is very subtle. Sometimes it is obvious even to the individual. Either way, it is an identical escapism, except that it is much more destructive and painful.

Ped, I am thinking that you are speaking in generalities.
