"Outside of Osmosis" ... these words remind me of a poem :)
When the Buddha was able to teach what he learned after enlightenment, it seems to me that this was oozing through. Everyone that encountered him wished to follow in his footsteps. The words he spoke were understood, and without words all noticed the innermost self. This way of being becomes natural with practice. We are here within this group to learn, and to take it outside of this group and live it out. In the beginning I did not notice the changes taking place, but as I changed, others around me began to change. It is a process that takes time, and it helps to find those that can explain in terms that fit each person. After awhile All becomes lessons in experiences, teachings come in many forms. The way opens your circle, to include everyone and everything eventually. I look forward to fully awakening and then sharing what I find with others. Currently 'right speech' is one of my weak areas. The flamming in this group, as other posters have pointed out is going on around us all the time. I thought about how easy it might be to move away from society and live in a monestary, but those in the monestary are the teachers of society.
