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)

She sang the highest praises onto you Eden too, not that long ago. How quickly it changes with her.

Re: Cool Quotes.

My only question left about her is: Who is left for her to talk to?

So many of us are out, who is left?

Nothing at all taken personal eden. We all see others through the filters of our emotions. A clear picture of anyone is not easy and probably impossible on a forum like this. No one here is exempt

If there is any doubt as to what someone here is like, one only need look at those whom they praise or those whom they are close to in the real world.  If a man or woman has no close friends of integrity/maturity in the real world, and they are hanging around this forum singing someone's highest praises one minute, and the next minute saying that person is the most untrustable idiot, I think one can get a pretty good sense of whether or not you would trust that person to unwaveringly reflect your love and openness in the real world.

Quite right.  To the extent that one constantly misunderstands and labels another body, one is clueless of one's own.

Agreed. And there are a lot of clueless people on this forum telling everyone else how clueless they are. Personally...I'm better off being clueless, consequently it doesn't bother me that much. One that is clueless is much more teachable than one that is not. The problem is no one wants to admit to their clueless nature.

It tells me exactly what you have been saying all along.

But I knew it for a long time too. Joe helped me to see it, through his patient posts to me asking me to look at what is really taking place. I looked and saw what he was pointing out.

But I still love and respect her dearly, as I am sure you do too.

I agree with you though that Pearl is a very poor judge of male character.

And I too am a poor judge of females.

So pearl is unstable and a poor judge of character and very intelligent? Quite the barometer you have.  I suggest you throw it in the trash.

I see you are using the same barometer to measure your own intelligence also.

Re: Cool Quotes.

That's a group of wimpy, second hand males consoling and convincing them selves for the lack integrity, ha,ha.  Really funny.  By the end of it all you'll have nobody, not a sinlge woman of integrity move towards you.  You'll have other wimpy females and males of the forum support you though. 
Life here is simply breath taking, even our home is filled with love and beauty and creativity and integrity than you'll ever fathom or even touch.   You guys have a long, long way to go until you mature and become men.  Until then adios! :-)

She is very intelligent, wise, insightful. I will not change one iota on that.

Just because one is poor in one or two areas, does not negate all the other areas.

Do you have a dark side Pearl? Have you ever revealed yours or admitted it on here? Or are you the exception?

I don't have any expectations of pearl or anyone else here. I don't have a desire to change, control or teach pearl.  I don't expect pearl to agree with me, defend me, or even like me for that matter. None of you should either. And if what pearl says bothers you, it's your problem...not her's. And vice-versa.  It's really not that complicated if you can get your ego out of the way. It's as simple as: Would you rather be right or happy?

Bob, I am not doubting anything you are saying. But the point I was addressing, was: Pearl thinks all of us, or most of us are second hand people and does not want to discuss with those like that.

So I asked then, who in the forum is left to talk to, who isnt a second hand person?

To SDS.  Do not worry.  Life doesn't depend on you or any other on this forum.  Maybe to most of you it does the reason why you never stand alone.  But if there's even one person I can talk to, it's great, if not, no darned probs! I'll still be the happiest one alive! :-))

I don't follow anyone pearl, so spare me the lies.  I learn from all of life, including other bodies.  Just the other day I learned some tips on how to keep the birds from eating my papayas from an long time organic farmer who lives down the street.  Oh god, I suppose that makes me his follower.  Spare me the weak bullshit.

Anytime someone is more skilled in any area of life that I am interested in, I stay open.

You are just lying to yourself. I do not believe you.

Your main issue I see is that you revolt when you think you see that others are followers or are following. It just sets you off, triggers you....

Look at your own self and I would bet there is some issue going on that is not resolved about following or being a follower within yourself.

And you are about down to one or two only left in this forum according to my calculations.

You are probably not interested, but if you are, it might be helpful to define what you mean by the word "Follower"

Can't one read a book by Ramana without necessarily being his follower. How do you know I am his follower? What do I follow?

Can't one read a book by K? Didnt you read some books by K at one point? Does that make you a follower?
