Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Kirsten are you referring to Pearl as the her.... in this post?

If so, it is good that you are jobless, for it is really not a job for anyone to do. It is best to leave people alone and mind your own business in my opinion. It is best to look for ones own inconsistencies and contradictions and leave others alone.

''It is best to leave people alone and mind your own business in my opinion.''

oh, haha, well that's a good one sds, let me take you as an example, ok ?

I take this one with me to sleep. This one was a gem, a precious gem. Thank you Kirsten for it, I will reflect on this one for awhile. You were a great mirror for me today. Love ya.....

Man, this guy Eden is good. He spotted me quoting David Deida here. I was testing him to see if he would think it was me and putting it down or if he would notice it was his Guru David Deida. He noticed it was his Guru and called me on it. Good job follower Eden of David Deida...

Re: Cool Quotes.

Eden, stop plagarizing David Deida... in your writings....

He is a follower of the cult guru Da Free John, and even has the Da in his last name, sick man this David Dei-da is....

Stop being a follower Eden and be yourself.

Forget all this openness and love crap, drop it all, and look afresh...

This is what K suggests....

That would go against every instinct a follower would have. If he were to let go of it he may have to face the fear of being the hole in the proverbial donut. A little empathy may be in order here.

More fungus level observations. 
As a matter of fact I am always looking fresh, which is why I can spot freshness from a mile away.

I find that deida is very skilled in certain ways, thus my casual interest. I don't follow anyone and to suggest such a thing again reveals your immaturity. I suggest you stick to your present stack of gurus as you are about as ready for Deida as a neanderthal was ready for Krishnamurti.

it would put any dancers of the world to shame, easily, and you know, Bob, I don't follow any dance methods, any types of dances and have never been trained, never learnt it form anyone, just a little when I was very very small.:-)

Re: Cool Quotes.

That's what you want, to attract.  Your whole life is filled with this desire, to attract, to become, to acquire, to posses, to follow which you never question...look at it, please, and such a mind is anything bur fresh, new...yikes, it stinks actually. I got to go.

I am glad that you are always looking fresh. That is very important.

I am personally not interested in Deida, and am more attracted to real Gurus like Ramana Maharshi or the Buddha, not some new age cultic sex guy. But that is just my take on him, and each to their own. If you find something of value in his teachings, who am I to say anything. If you find him skilled, yes, continue your casual interest in him. Just be aware of his background that I posted.

I am glad also that you do not follow anyone. Sorry if my immaturity showed again, popped up its ugly head. I really shouldnt assume such a thing, that is, that you are a follower.

As for me, I will stick with my current stack of K books. I cant go wrong with K.

Now I disagree with your statement though that I am not ready for Deida. I am more than ready, and actually way ahead of him. When you have studied K as deeply as I have, someone like Deida is actually kindergarten material for me.

Re: Cool Quotes.

Has nothing to do with "wanting". Attraction is a law of nature whether someone "wants" it or not. It is happening right now as we speak on every level, down to the smallest cell. It is plainly obvious.

Your take is entirely ignorant, uninformed, and utterly presumptuous, which is all but a lame attempt to discredit my observations by somehow discrediting someone I have a certain respect for.

Deida lived with Adi Da for a time in the 80's and he felt he helped him break through some patterns at that time in his life. He shortly after that totally disassociated himself with him and as far as I know has never even mentioned his name.  Adi Da was a nut job on every level as far as I am concerned.

Funny, since you know nothing about Deida's work other than some derogatory posting you just searched for on google.

Again, your immaturity is glaring and any dialogue with you would be simply me negating your false assertions all day long. Gosh, that sounds fun but I'm gonna pass.  I've had enough of that with pearl for a lifetime, at least.
