Gimminee critters, Ron. Here you go again. You are a nice, sincere guy, but
this proselytizing is a drag. Isn't it an edifice of the ego, that you are
always decrying?
Who are you to tell lurkers on this site that they are not welcome just to
read the posts, and what authority do you have to analyze give advice on the
spiritual life of strangers? It's one thing to present your fundamentalist
opinions. There's a certain enjoyment for others in reading them. If nothing
else, it clarifies what we object to and why. But to lay into people you don't
even know and tell them what they ought to do smacks of spiritual arrogance.
Why not be who you are, and let those who resonnate naturally join up with
you. This little epistle is reminiscent of the bible thumpers from another
tradition, who share many of your same attitudes. Give it a rest. People are
welcome to come here, to read, to post, to leave, whatever they feel to do.
It's not your job to be gatekeeper.

why is it that ego has the egotisitcal mindset that through
lurking one has no obligations to support what is given
here, and that if one just remains under the radar that they
will hear Just the Right thing and then they can do it ALL
on their own.
If ego could do it on it's own and didn't need
a Guru at all then there would be no need to lurk and Hope
to glean just the *right* thing in order to progress.
If you feel you need No Guru and can do it all on your own -
this is quite fine - then go do so. But be honest in this.
Don't play the game of conning yourself that chasing
teacher after teacher and Darshan after Darshan is consistent
with doing it All on *your* own. That is a lie of the egotistical
mind.
So either participate here or unsub and enjoy your journey.
The choice is yours - and for those who are deaf and have
not ears to hear or seem to think that they are the Except to
this rule - the choice will be made for you.
The methodolgy here may not be for everyone - and that is
fine, but don't hang here as this site is a priviledge and not
a right simply because there is an open membership.
Respect the site - respect the teachers and teachings - respect
the practices and if using them, then support and give back
for what is being given. To not do so in some manner is to be
less than honest. The first 3 things taught here are
1. Honesty
2. Integrity
3. Transparency
If these are not willing to be followed through with then please
enjoy your journey to greener pastures which are always on the
other side of the fence.
For those who are following through may your journey's continue to
unfold to Realization where suffering is no more.
Maha Shanti
