It's only worth three points if slams are all
the player is capable of doing.  :-)

Powerful technique here.  Accepting oneself.  Loving oneself, but 
especially accepting oneself, opens the door to some real progress IMO.

Except for Tom Pall, of course, who is required to
expunge his thoroughly unacceptable assholiness
forthwith and offer abject apologies to those he has
offended, under threat of exposure as an asshole to
his yagya suppliers.

It would seem that this then is a healing mechanism of the mind --

And if it is consciously recognized, and stopped, is the healing
stopped. Is the dissolving of that particular complex of  samskaras
left unresolved?

Sometimes I'm a jerk from my own wellspring of ego, 
but sometimes - to tie this back to Peter's original 
mention of projective identification - I buy into someone 
else's ego projection, and that's what surprises me. It's 
like I witness it, too, often.

Projective identification again:

I guess I can be manipulated by another person like that 
because the "unintegrated/disowned aspect of their personality" 
is living in me. 

Another opportunity for forgiveness, I suppose.

I've always felt that developing a sense of comfort
with (and forgiveness for) one's assholiness is far
more important to spiritual progress than developing
a feel (almost always illusory) for one's holiness.

We're all marvelous assholes at times, aren't we? Like
when I'm driving along singing a bhajan and a guy cuts
in front of me, brakes too hard or does something to

This reminds me of a problem I've noticed in myself. 
I've found myself treating people the way they I suspect 
they wish to be treated, rather than in a way that reflects 
my ideals. 

I recall an example from years ago when lurkman and 
I just got done sledding on a hill in front of a museum 
that was showing a slavery retrospective. We're white. 
As we piled our gear into the car, a black man came 
out of the museum, reasonably and visibly upset. His 
car was parked next to ours. I opened our car door 
carelessly and it bumped the rubber bumper of the 
black man's car. He jumped out, furious, and examined 
his car for damage. Thank God I hit the rubber, and 
there was no scuff. But did I explain? Did I apologize? 
Did I try to palliate his outrage? No. I thought of it, 
but decided, "He wants to feel put upon. I won't spoil 
it for him."

I felt like I was part of a larger matrix and had no 
individual will.

We drove away without a word.

I marvel at my assholeness to this day.

Unless they can be bought. Chances are he's their top-paying customer. They
might feel as he does that yagyas are the solution to all his problems,
however severe they may be.

I had nothing in mind as high-falutin' as you
describe in psychoanalytic terms. In my exper-
ience those who mistreat others consistently
have no concept of what their actions would
feel like if someone did the exact same thing
to them. I was hoping that Tom was still 
together enough to *feel* what it would be
like if someone did to him what he's been
attempting to do to the people on FFL.

But my suggestion was a real one. I suspect that
the Yagyas By Choice people would have nothing
to do with him if they were aware of how he's
been using the energy they've been sending his
way. We'll see how things turn out. We can only
hope for the best, for all concerned.

2005-12-14 Thread Peter
 Your attempt is admirable, Barry, but it won't
help. Hope does spring eternal, but trying to make a
rational end-run around someone's seemingly disturbed
psychology usually doesn't work as I've discovered in
my profession. To help, first there has to be a good
therapeutic relationship and the person in question
must recognize, to some extent, that not all is quite
right in their head. Neither of these criteria seem to
be fulfilled in this case. I also noticed you started
to do what I did and get caught up in what
psychoanalytic thought calls projective
identification. The person in question unconsciously
projects a unintegrated/disowned aspect of their
personality onto others and provokes them into
responding/behaving in accord with that unintegrated
part. People have a tendency to "go off" on the person
in question thus perpetuating the abuse he experiences
and recreating this abuse in a repetition compulsion
that unconsciously seeks to resolve the original abuse
in current relationships. Unless this is consciously
recognized, it just continues on and on and on until
that complex of samskaras are disolved. I wouldn't say
the person in question has MPD/DID, but we are
experiencing the extremes of unintegrated aspects of a
personality damaged by severe abuse. I wish him the
best too and will refrain from making wise-ass cracks
at his expense in the future because this simply
re-traumatizes the person rather than giving insight.

Tom, 

Because I really *am* concerned about you, I'm
going to point out something that doesn't seem
to have occurred to you.  It's becoming really
painful to see you acting out what seems to be
Multiple Personality Disorder here on this forum,
posting under two different names, and with two
obviously different personalities, poles apart,
and with one polar post appearing within minutes 
of another one, equally polar but in the opposite
direction.  In my book this is not an indication 
of someone who is getting "better" as a result 
of yagyas, but worse.

And you've taken it upon yourself to try to act
out your resentment at people here telling you
the truth about some of the things you post here
by trying to get the forum itself removed from
Yahoo.  That is simply unacceptable, and in my
book is yet another symptom of a serious mental
disorder that needs treatment.

Here's the thing that probably has not occurred
to you.  What if someone here, someone who actually
cares about you and is interested in your welfare,
took it upon himself or herself to email the posts
you made here yesterday under two different names to 
the provider of the yagyas you seem to hold so dear?
>From what you have said in your posts about them,
they seem to be ethical people who are genuinely
concerned that their service has the greatest 
possible benefit for those paying for them.

How do you think they'd react to discovering that
one of their clients is reacting to their services
by acting out in a way that Western psychologists
would characterize as having episodes of multiple
personality disorder?  How do you think they'd 
react to learning that one of their clients is
trying his best to act out his hurt and rage by
harming other people rather than helping them?

I somehow suspect that they might think twice about
accepting future payments from you, and conducting
future yagyas for you.  I somehow suspect they would
be *shocked* to learn who it was they were really
dealing with, and might wish to not involve them-
selves and their karma with someone who is obviously
having some serious mental problems.

In other words, they might just cut you off at the
pump, Tom.

A word to the wise.  I am not going to write such
an email.  I trust to your higher nature, and to
that higher nature "winning out" if you realize 
that if someone else were to do to you what you
have so blithely done to others here that it would
be painful and really fuck with your life.

A word to the wise.  Grow the fuck up.  Stop this
infantile acting out, and allow people here to 
continue to have their little discussions, free
from interference from you.  If you keep acting
like an out-of-control child, sooner or later 
someone here is going to do exactly what I have
suggested, and you'll start to actually *feel* 
the effects of your own karma.  I don't
think you'd like that.

I honestly think that the best thing you could
possibly do at this point is offer an apology to
the people of Fairfield Life and refrain from
posting here for some time.  Concentrate on your
own life and helping it to evolve, in the way
that seems best to you.  We will all wish you
the best in that endeavor, and look forward to
seeing a new and improved Tom Pall when you 
choose to return, if you do.

But don't keep fucking with people who wish you
well and pray for your well-being, Tom.  If you
do, in time one of them is going to decide that
what's good for the goose is good for the gander,
and use your own methods against you.  It won't
be me, but it will be someone.

Get it?

I wish you nothing but the best.  Really.  But
you're out of control, dude, and it's messing
with this discussion forum, which I treasure.
Act out on your own time and in the privacy of
your own home, Tom.  When you do it here, and
threaten to make "here" go away, you're treading
on thin ice.

Barry Wright
