I mean if one shotguns everypost to 100 other sites, thats a poor practice. On the other hand, if an insight forms in a post on FFL, and the idea develops over a month or two, and one submits a revised hopefully more refined post on the same idea somewhere else, sometime later, where is the harm. It seems to be a good thing, IMO.   And that's the way many advaitins (like the ones who run that list) are reacting to the piece--it's very positive: "This is just the mature, sobering kind of analysis that more seekers  need to be exposed to.  The intersubjective and implicit contractual  agreements keep the whole thing going." Is a typical comment--most from hardcore advaitins.  And that's the idea: what was lost in the translation of east to west? It'll be a long time till the west figures it all out, we're a different culture. But it's helpful to find patterns of suffering, acknowledge them and evolve. Avoid the shadow, it will just overcome you in some way. > but also seeks recognition, for what he doesn't seem to get here, and > obviously with success > http://guruphiliac.blogspot.com/2006/04/enlightenment-anonymous.html That appears to be an odd form for you (usually clear, fair and informative -- and not prone to comments on persons rather than ideas) -- imputing motives to someone else -- particularly a "stranger". Actually this is a common thing and has a long history with this poster. Apparently he didn't realize it had already been posted here over a month ago...or that it was not about FFL. Why do any of us post? Is it for recognition? That seems a bit laughable, given the composition and quite small size of active posters here.  For perhaps odd reasons, the quirkiness of FFL, within me, induces thoughts to explore. I post because it allows me to work out these ideas, and occasionally, receive some good feedback and discussion -- which btw,  if they change my original view, I consider it a good day.  To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
