That appears to be your impression. My impression is quite the opposite. Recently I have seen no one jump anyones discussion of a poster's personal experience. How odd we can have such different impression! Well I guess we weill just have to leave it to that -- some difference in perception. If on the other hand you are claiming more than an impression, but an actual fact, then please cite some specific examples for those of us that appear to be less perceptive than you and did not catch these recent "slams" on experience posters.

"Appears" is a great word. The above appears to you. It does not appear to me. To convince me or I assume most observers, you would need too actualy cite some examples, not just impressions. One of the stellar contributions of the cognitive sciences is that much "impression" is indeed not fact but some bias of quirk in the observers head. We all have them. The trick is to be aware such can occure and ask BK style, "Is this true" "Do I really know its true" ... > Any post that does not follow the above > rules of the self appointed thought/dogma patrol then are fair game > for slash, burn and dump invective. Its funny you see destruction, and invective everywhere. I see none. Perhaps I am wearing pollyannaish rose glasses. I will check my perceptions. Or perhaps you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and are a bit cranky this morning. Who knows. Lets both investigate from our own sides. > From my side they can take a long > walk off a short dock or suck eggs whichever seems most appropriate. Ah, such a refreshing view of compassion and love for ones owe Self found everywhere in the infinite expanse of Brahaman -- the pure expression of Bliss. Its so beautiful. And just a point of clarification, you have stated that everything from that mind body known socially as Tom is Brahman staring through "Tom's eyes". Taking your phrase, or I mean Brahman's phrase, "From my side ..." -- does Brahman have a side? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Dying to be thin? Anorexia.
