/We were supposed to be discussing motion and change and the statement

was that in reality, there is no path, no steps on a path, all truth is
relative, there is no movement, time or duration. In fact, things do not
move hither and thither at all. Change is impossible. Go figure. /
/For the purposes of this group discussion all we need to be concerned
about is the theory of the Two Truths, the Fourfold Negation, the Rule
of the Excluded Middle and Constructive Dialectics. A dialectician is a
philosopher who views the world in terms of complementary opposites and
the interactions thereof.//
Only one statement can be made concerning the ultimate reality and that
is that we *think* we exist. It's obvious that our entire existence is
based on thinking, ergo, consciousness or an experience of awareness
that we are thinking, reasoning, willful beings with a mind. The only
*real* that cannot be doubted is that we are conscious. //

Progress is based on how much the individual is able to challenge his
individual karma which to varying degree is resisting change. Every
Teacher knows you can't just push a button and then all of a sudden
you are alright. Maharishi said that inspiring stuff to inspire, not
that he for a minute believed it was possible for everyone knowing
how much internal resistence there can be in a student. Same With
Yogananda, same with all Teachers. Progress is the responsebility of
the individual, not the Teacher. Blaming the teacher just expose an
immature soul.

So the technique isn't as effective as claimed? If everyone thinks
that, why do you get annoyed when someone points it out?

Misery? It's the people with sense of internal logical consistency I
feel sorry for round here.
"//If you were still a devotee after all that time, striving for

That we are already enlightened isn't Marshy's teaching, that's just
Willy's make believe to excuse his own lack of evolution. You guys
ought to own the knowledge and stop contradicting yourselves all the
time. Steve even thinks that he isn't the same as me and MJ even
though he doesn't believe it all either!
When was the last time a True Believer made sense round here? Go
figure...
