It's funny, on many occasions Barry has tried to browbeat me about bringing up things that have happened here in the past. But when he has an axe to grind--in this case demonizing Doctor Dumbass--he has no hesitation whatsoever about doing it himself.
Can you say "hypocrite"? I think you can... Oh, and BTW, "acting like a dick," in Barryspeak, means "making fun of Barry." Jim, have you ever tried to imagine how YOU might appear to someone who doesn't buy you're "I'm enlightened" spiel? Which, last time I checked, was...wait for it...everybody? What would such a person -- again, pretty much everybody -- think of a guy who claims not only to be enlightened, but "more enlightened" than pretty much everyone he interacts with, but who also has no qualms about posing as a woman here on Fairfield Life for many months? What should such a person think about that guy never owning up to it, even though we have the written proof that "enlightened_dawn11" was you, because you posted a song copyrighted to Jim Flanegin under that alias? What could *motivate* a person to need to create an online identity (god, I *hope* it's only online) as an enlightened person, and attempt to maintain that image for years, while consistently acting like a real dick? Spin this for me, Jimbo. Explain to me how acting like a dick personifies the image of enlightenment you want to educate us about.

And *I* am not the one in pretty much constant "reaction mode" any time someone challenges his ostensible spiritual teacher, while claiming to be beyond attachment. If you don't mind, I'll keep coming back to that "claiming to be enlightened" thang when addressing the pity I feel for YOU. For example, how's your marriage doing, you who are so keen to paint me with the brush of "emotional issues?" We haven't heard much about your wife lately. Is she still your wife? Or are you roaming around the country in your trailer because you've got no home to go home to? And how's it *going* for you, posing as enlightened and all? I've offered you many, many chances to *see* how it's going, by simply asking the people here on Fairfield Life to weigh in and say whether they believe that you're enlightened. So far, I don't think you have, and I don't think anyone has stepped up to the plate on their own. Don't you think that's a little odd, for someone who is as established in BC (I think the 'B' stands for either Brahman or Bullshit...not sure) as you are? Isn't it about time for another bunch of machine-generated bullshit quotes from you to "prove" how much more evolved you are than the other people here, especially the ones you don't like? And while we're at it, what's up with that not liking people, coming from someone who theoretically views them as Self? Jimbo, NO ONE believes you're enlightened. They kinda feel sorry for you that you have to go around claiming that you are. The day you realize and acknowledge this, you might have finally evolved to the level of a normal human being.

I honestly feel sorry for you. To try and make points with your perceived audience, by twisting my words, is such a petty and small minded thing to indulge in. Ask yourself if it *honestly* makes you feel better, to do this? I don't think so. Anyway, a toxic diet can become a habit - just as a warning to you. Your words, since they are not accurate, have no personal impact on me. But your attitude is truly worrisome, and I *hate* to see someone as old as you are, becoming so delighted with the negative thoughts, that you feed on. Please, put *that* in your pipe, and smoke it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <turquoiseb@...> wrote : Yeah, Xeno. You're only in Cosmic Consciousness, whereas Jimbo is SO much more enlightened than that. You have a long, long way to go before YOU can't tell a real Deepak Chopra quote from one written by a computer robot stringing BS phrases together at random. Aren't you happy to learn that you've got so much to look forward to once you "flower fully" the way Jimbo has? :-) :-) :-) And remember, this is the same guy who once said that Buddha (who didn't believe in a God) once taught that "God is love." SO much to look forward to once you get over that puny CC stuff and become as highly evolved as he is. :-) :-) :-) From: "doctordumbass@..." <doctordumbass@...> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 2:15 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Post Count Fri 21-Mar-14 00:15:03 UTC Of course it fucking runs out of steam, dude. It is a comparison. Once the comparison is integrated, there is no more left to say. However there are several subjective experiences of enlightenment, each more full than the last. So, until we are discussing the relative merits of Brahman, there is plenty to clarify and discuss. Your current experience of enlightenment, Cosmic Consciousness, has a long way to go, before flowering fully. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <anartaxius@...> wrote : The enlightened narrative runs out of steam after a certain point, it's like the standard musical form A B A. A = ordinary life & B = spiritual path. The part everyone gets hopped up about is B. If you get really good at playing the tune suddenly you find once again your at A. I think it's worth it, but only because in returning to A you now know there are no alternatives to A. It's a good idea to finish the song, and not get stuck in the middle.
