You know, it's interesting that not e...Hi All,<br /><br />You know, it's interesting that not everyone gets this about me, but everything I write, YES...Everything...is tongue in cheek! This particular post was actually a serious, um, moment of humour regarding the language of duality and non-duality...don't take any of it too seriously.....One doesn't, does one? Of course there are 'Very Important'(ha,ha) pointers in there as well... <br /><br />The clue is in the label, '1Yogi2Many'...I'm even taking the proverbial out of myself; as Ta Wan once said, 'As if the World needs another Yogi?' He got it! The world doesn't need another yogi, master, teacher, therapist, Taoist etc etc.<br /><br />Of course one has to use the words of duality, how the fcuk could we communicate if we didn't? But when I'm writing my tongue in cheek blog posts, and making important (ahem) points, about life, the universe and everything, well then I do so using free licence to roam and with access to all areas, ha, ha ;-)<br /><br />Hey, here's a little known fact for those of you not in the know:<br /><br />"Nothing thought, written or said is all that important, especially if one thinks it is!!!"<br />That's a '1Yogi2Many' special for ya!The trials and tribulations of QPRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766497464486537265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577532995301257551.post-39792246412293638942010-04-08T11:43:20.681+01:002010-04-08T11:43:20.681+01:00Hi Rizal, really good to have you spread your '...Hi Rizal, really good to have you spread your 'mojo' here, ha, ha ... has your cage been rattled? ;-)<br /><br />OK, using the language of duality; I'm not an advaita-ist by the way (smiling), although I understand why you might think that about this particular post (in fact the advaita types struggle with my approach). I'm not an 'anythinkist' either, and haven't been for a whole lifetime. I was never even a Yogi, and never have been, even when I practice yoga I do it with complete non-attachment...yoga simply happens, or it doesn't, ha, ha.<br /><br />Look, yes, words are just pointers, very true...and the words here are the flow of being...they were written just for 'you', obviously, who else could they have been written for, which is why I'm so pleased that you got the non-point, ahem ;-)<br /><br />There is something that has happened here Rizal, within this being known to you as 'Doug', it is totally indescribable, and these posts are an 'attempted' description of that, and that alone....anything that anyone else reads into these words is, actually, inconsequential.... <br /><br />The realisation of being 'IS' the annihilation of the individual; FACT. It's the complete psychological and emotional death of individuality, and it is wonderful beyond words. No more individual attachment, no more ownership of thoughts, feelings, unhappiness or happiness . . no more attachment to being enlightened, and/or someone else not being enlightened, none of that crap. Yes, I'm simply describing the indescribable, but not for 'anyone in particular'... ;-)The trials and tribulations of QPRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766497464486537265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577532995301257551.post-68813598783239923962010-04-08T05:58:15.269+01:002010-04-08T05:58:15.269+01:00My children: oneness arising as them wanting me t...My children: oneness arising as them wanting me to chauffeur them around everywhere.No One In Particularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465987207757191972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577532995301257551.post-20259569984541800912010-04-07T18:32:29.904+01:002010-04-07T18:32:29.904+01:00Ta-Wan: I had the same issues with Doug's comm...Ta-Wan: I had the same issues with Doug's comments too.

And "you" may go ...Okay, I got the point. And "you" may go as far to say that there is no one to get the point :D<br /><br />To me though; what is needed is not "advaita-ish correct" words/language, as it is impossible. I'd say myself that I was driving car, listening to music, seeing my girlfriend (sorry, no children yet :p)... with less and less feeling of ownership. Words are just pointers anyway, saying it anyhow doesn't actually change its status. What really matters is the awareness (and one can go as far saying that "there is no awareness. Doh!).<br /><br />If I try to use a more "advaita-ish correct" language, I wouldn't say "car was driven, music was happening", because there is no car, there is no music, there is girlfriend... only fluctuation of Consciousness, only Being. Oh wait, even there is no word "Being".<br /><br />Ah, what a blunder :DRizal Affifhttp://thesoulsanctuary.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577532995301257551.post-73368030036373630772010-04-07T14:16:53.872+01:002010-04-07T14:16:53.872+01:00Yes Shinzen, the duality of language, isn't it...Yes Shinzen, the duality of language, isn't it wonderful?
