************* The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] ************ Hi Martin They were discussing games on the IVY list and doubted Ron's statement that all games are aberrative. I gave them the Scientology answer. When I was done I realized it provided a good reason to pursue TROM. If all games are aberrative then don't play games.
That leaves play, work and communication as activities we can all do without aberration. Play being activity without a postulated goal. Work is activity with a postulated goal and communication being activity with complementary goals. How are things in Africa? We are enjoying a late winter snow storm here in northern California. I have started planting my vegetable garden so the carrots, onions and spinach will benefit from this snow as it quickly melts. Keep on TROMing Pete Sent from my iPad On Feb 29, 2012, at 7:00 AM, Martin Foster <[email protected]> wrote: > ************* > The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] > ************ > On 22/Feb/2012 04:43, Pete McLaughlin wrote: >> >> Games are activities with postulates in opposition. > > Hi Pete, > > Wow - You certainly researched Games from a Scio point of view. > > The great advantage TROM has is that all those considerations or > significances become irrelevant, as with TROM one deals with the postulates > within ones own mind not so much the significances of life. > > A few TROM quotes: > The search for deeper significance into life or the mind is only the search > for prior or greater importance.
