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)

OK pearl. When it's time just give me the signal and I will jump out of the bushes like a swashbuckling pirate.

I am just the messenger, I just shared this list, but it is not my list.
And I agree, many of them are very dull indeed.... Dead....
It is funny to see so many cultic, perverted, egotistical, and dull people on this list, which is supposed to be a list of spiritual people. They are anything from spiritual in my opinion.
It is interesting though to stay informed to see what the average person believes in and who they look to for their spirituality.... Hence this list....I'm looking forward to you and pearl collaborating on the list of non-vegetables.
When do you think it might be compiled? And please do let us know if you need any financial assistance as I feel it is a very worthy cause.
Here is my partial list, my compiliation.
Some of the true spiritual people are:
Professor Krishna, Rajesh Dalal, Swami Chidananda, Mark Lee, Gopal Krishnamurty, Michael Krohnen, Ruben Feldman Gonzalez, Hillary Rodrigues....
These are all K people, people who have knew or studied deeply K's teachings. These are the only true spiritual people on the planet... The rest are followers, not really spiritual....

Re: 100 most spiritual people
If you are going to use the "spiritual label" wouldn't it stand to reason that there are no non spiritual people. Only those that don't recognize it?
I have one question for you sds. (Don't choose to take offense...It doesn't really matter if you choose not to answer. I am just curious) How old are you?

Yes, spiritual, non spiritual, it is all nonsense. No such thing to label anyone as such...
I am birthless and deathless Bob. I have never been born nor will I die.
But I have been told by those around me who believe in life and death, that I was born over 40 years ago, and say I am in my 40's. But to me, I am ETERNAL.......

Re: 100 most spiritual people
I forgot to ask Bob, why are you interested in knowing my chronological physical age? Why I ask? And may I ask you, how old are you Bob? What difference does it make your age? Really, am curious?

Re: 100 most spiritual people
Spirituality is mostly entertainment as K rightly observed.
Most on those list have a long way to go to finding and living from that which is Sacred and that which is untouched by thought....

Re: 100 most spiritual people
Especially the Deidas and Babas, they are so far away from the Sacred....
All they know is exploitation, control, greed, followers, ego.....

I have never been to a K gathering. I would love to go. I am dreaming of the day when I get to be around so many K people and participate in talks, dialogues, etc.

Re: 100 most spiritual people
I recall when I used to feel exactly the same. Seems like it was lifetimes ago. For me their dullness was repulsive, though for you it will probably feel like open arms. Such is life.

I am 52. I was curious because I sometimes perceive a little youthful naivety in some of the things that you write. Thats all

I am 85, and that explains why everyone here but me seems a tad naive in what they post.

Bob, only 10 chronological years separates us or so. And yet, we are worlds apart. You are anything but naive and I still have my youthful naivety.
Thanks for toning it down to just seeing it in some of the things that I write. Some might say it is in all that I write.

Re: 100 most spiritual people
Age has nothing to do with wisdom, maturity, trust me. My son of 9 yrs shows more maturity, wisdom and humor than any of these people here on this forum and he doesn't need to be talking about it like these intellectuals do. He lives acts in such a manner and therefore is it. Even willy could learn something from him, ha! :-)

differentiate between two people talking with each other (a conversation) and the above thread where there are numerous contributors (a discussion/melee/forum/free-for-all)
this comment was made to Wilbro with affection, and it has a history in that he and I have conversed around this matter before, however haltingly, or uselessly.
he can respond to it however he wishes, you, on the other hand, again sound shrill.
why so sour?
with whom have you exchanged love today, or the day before?
