joe..yes indeed.. the good thoughts are taken aboard...edgar's dilemma..check post on rationality... merle Merle,
Right; that's why I kindly take this reserved tone. What I say is accurate, as Edgar and everyone understands. We do not have to be mean. It's just not necessary when we're right. But Bill! and I sometimes speak up when Zen, Zen Practice, or even Zen Buddhism is being misrepresented and miscast. That's why I added my voice again in a reserved and avuncular manner this evening, Merle, for the good it will do, and not in any way to do any harm, not even to personalities. It would not serve them to wound them further. Now, I lost you where you say that Edgar has points to make. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > joe.. and edgar.... > > don't be too hard on edgar joe... > > he has his points to make and i appreciate his input.. > all helps with my own clarification of who or what i am...or might become.. > > we are all here to learn from the Great Teacher who is us ..and that is Life.. > when edgar speaks he speaks surely from the great teacher... > his observations and insights.. > from reason which he has so very clearly marked out as his all time favourite > tool of "getting by" in the world.. > and it's not so bad... > after all irrational behaviours are surely the mark of a stupid man... and > may cause havoc and chaos > > however all in all.. > > we open our hearts as we journey through life > > and surely the heart is the centre of our being?
