If it were crap that were just been sold as crap, I would agree and just walk around it. But since attributes of developing consciousness and so-called "enlightenment" are key points of discussion here, when people infuse such with crap, It think its worthy to say "Sir, don't do that. This topic is too important to throw crap at." Crap in this case being weak thinking, weak interprestation of ones experience, weak semantics, deception, slight-of-hand and absurdites pawned off as wisdom. > Cataloging > waste falls into an entirely different category. The intent is to help raise the level discussion, analysis and understanding of these important topics. I can sympathize with your probable gasping at that claim, hearing you say, perhaps "well surely there are better ways to try to do that." I have tried many ways: direct serious discussion, teasing, satire, facrce, banter. Personally, I find most approaches have their limits, but a multiple-front approach hits the target more often than a single approach. And most are a tonic to clarify the mind, a neti-neti exercise in separating the wheat from chaff etc. Unexamined, actually the crap expounded here sometimes looks, mistakenly - from a distance -- like something appealing, like chocolate perhaps. A little neti-neti discrimination is quite useful in avoiding gastronomical disasters. > You might try > contacting the good doctor privately. I have. Not to much producive use. After an exchange or two, he ineveitably runs off screaming "I am so insulted! I will not talk to people who insult me!" Of course the so called insults are like pieces of rope that he for some reason sees as snakes. ------------------------ Yahoo!
