Blimy (hee hee).
What giant ego needed a quarter page of blue pixels to say this?
Must have been, AN giant ego.

I have a lot to learn from your charitable posts, Harbal. You're probably right, he might know three things. If you did satsang in a loin cloth, I'd be on the first plane heading to England. Heck, even if you were just wearing trousers.
In any case, Slick is grateful for your presence.

Do you, per chance, sell used cars, or perhaps timeshares in Vegas?

Anyway, if you or Harbal want to do satsang in a loin cloth, I think you can get a pretty good deal on them on Amazon...
Well, maybe not loin "cloth," but more at loin - "polypropylene/sodium polyacrylate/wood pulp/polyester/polyethylene/polyurethane elastics/adhesives/colorants."
Nevertheless, you and Harbal will look very wise when wearing them (and only them) for your next satsang.

Oriental mysticism isn't really very compatible with my British working class background. I'm more of an overalls and steel toe capped boots kind of a guy.

I think I got that nickname from Walker. Maybe he was referring to someone else.
Oh, I don't do the loincloth thing. My souls to dirty. All the upper chakras get in a tizzy.Nevertheless, you and Harbal will look very wise when wearing them (and only them) for your next satsang.![]()

“I appear to hear and see and talk and act, but to me it just happens, as to you digestion or perspiration happens. The body-mind machine looks after it, but leaves me out of it. Just as you do not need to worry about growing hair, so I need not worry about words and actions. They just happen and leave me unconcerned, for in my world nothing ever goes wrong.” – Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Comment:
- That’s a tidy description of actionless action, from the inside out.
- To see situations where others see problems is not limited to SNM.
- Some folks see nothing but problems, don’t you know.

Full cup, drinking that is.
You're not qualified to make those judgements.
I thought we were together on this.

Re: The thoughts of Nisargadatta Maharaj
He doesn't know. He has his neo-hindu non-dualism and veneration of gurus and he has his particular brand of conservativism, which includes sexism and possibly racism also. And cognitive dissonance, the approaching feeling of it, has buffered him from ever trying to reconcile the two. He can flip from one to the other without even noticing.
I'm sure he's clever enough to do some mental gymnastics to explain that deep down he really....blah, blah.
But he's mainly harming himself when he tries to BS us.

Good example. Since you treat women like trash.
Here's a mild example, but I'm too lazy to go digging....
If guns weren't so emotional and unpredictable they would be much easier to control.
No wait ... that's women.
And then there's direct women-hate you've aimed at don'taskme.
Thank you.
Finally someone stands up to this woman bashing control freak, and calls him out for his relentless derogatory attitude toward women, namely Dam.
Thanks for your words of support. Much appreciated.
