Atheletes develop strong bodies (practicioners of heiho), and if the
techniques and exercises of budo are practiced rigorously, a strong body
will develop just as does an athlethe's.
(Takes a look at joseph's body-right).
But budo is not heiho / athletics. Physical strength must never be used
in budo. Only ki is used. The strength of the human body is limited, the
power of ki is limitless. The use of ki cannot be taught, but it can be
learned by those who fight the battle within.
'Mountain' state is 'symbolic' of a zen-master state, that is one who has
conquered himself, all of his weaknesses and self-delusions, and has
overcome his human-ness.
Dogen you are not.
In fact Joseph's life-force is very small. He's rigid, inflexible, and
brutish. Secondly, Joseph lacks proper capability to orgasm which is
standard of asleep sexual force, and without such awakening there is no
development to a state of fluid, conscious and vital ki.
His idiotic and psychotic wishful thinking about my 'fear and hatred' of
him is little but the tactic of a cowardly dog who lacks power, and who
thinks that mental tricks would psyche-out his opponent, paired with
spasmodic twitching, and attempts to salvage his self-importance in
public. Nevermind that he fancies himself a percieved 'enemy'–even though
it has been made abundantly clear that nobody is attacking him.
The depiction of his state is simply a 'portrait'–and I paint it as is.
I neither like nor dislike Joseph, yet he's a useful example of the kind
of idiot who damages others, and who is unfortunately become the udulated
'hero' in the face of disappearance of proper spiritual traditions.
The other point of the portrait is this: that this kind of behavior is not
powerful, not knowledgeable, and not life. It is the behavior of a man who
is impotent to PERCEIVE so he must claw at the 'masks' of others. The
realization that one wears a mask is certainly one of the first steps
to conscious evolution. The next step is not 'dropping the mask and baring
your soul' however, and this psychotic trend is completely stupid.
The world proper (not human) is not short in Beings who'd love to feed
on human essense-energy (as it is one of the: purest energies), and one
is not given this essence so one may piss it away. The 'mask' is a
necessity–and the proper form of evolution is to SEE behind the mask
(which is quite feasible), for those for whom this is possible.
For the REST the soul which each human carries is to remain HIDDEN.
Nobody owes anybody to reveal, show and otherwise make available its
soul or any part of itself. It is a personal and private business. For
that matter, nobody owes not anybody ELSE not a whit of their privacy at
all. AT ALL.
When a human chooses to appear in public, in a responsible manner, it is
up to the individual human to determine how, to what extent, in what
manner, and how much of itself it is to reveal. In a situation of
responsible adults, anyone else would naturally simply feel honored
and blessed at another's presence–in whatever 'minimal' form it may be.
Critique is idiotic nonsense. One can either assist or not assist.
Those who can assist are very few–and while I'm not indicating
discouragement of seeking assistance, advice, help or conversations,
this posing of *I'm a shaman' *I'm influenced by Sufism* etc etc.
is drivel. One is neither a shaman, nor a sufi, nor a gnostic christian,
nor any of this stuff being thrown around if one is a. not awakened b.
not in direct contact with a 'school' or 'teacher' who is transmitting
energetic material (and Im not implying human teachers necessarily).
All else is kaput. Wishes, fantasies. 'Dreams'. While i am also not
discouraging anyone to pursue such interests, the achievement of such
'titles' are not trivial. They area pplicable to beings who HAVE done
work, who ARE awake / evolved, not just to any idiot who is 'fascinated
by' for whatever reasons-career, he saw another monkey do it,
self-aggrandizement, etc.
On the subjects of 'power' and 'knowledge' and Truth–they certainly
exist in an absolute sense, in fact your average human's 'existence'
is far more emphimeral than those. The reactionary knee-jerkisms
to the former two are thproughly revealing of many of the posters
egotistical, diseases, jealous, self-important natures, as well as of your
pathetic ignorance on such matters and their true nature.
Neither power nor knowledge are made available to egotistical
self-important twits who 'cling' to them as if they're property.
Power in particular would destroy any such imbecile.
Secondly, vital energy, vital strength and self-discipline are
a life-necessity for all humans. This is not brute force. This is not
aggression. Refusal to tolerate crap is not a 'clenched fist'–
never has been, nor will it be. The cultivation of ki in whatever form (I
am not advocating all run out and become japanese / chinese) is VITAL.
On THESE lists what the majority of posters do is debase others,
attempt to constrict and cut off ki circulation, and cripple any
human unfortunate enough to has started any sort of development.
This is all passed on under the guise of 'dialogue' 'discourse'
'critique' and hell–'performance art'.
A very large section of posters 'stay quiet' or form little 'elite groups'
where they stick together and defend each other, huddled in their sleep.
Rather the opposite of david blah's post, my presence can only be
threatening to idiots who want to pretend that they are 'important'
things they are not. And by the way his plea for anycopyright because he
wants to deface corporate logos, is driven by the same impulse that
causes one to 'claw' at masks–he wants appropriation of power that is not
his. Logos are in many aspects derived from 'shields' 'crests' and various
other similar 'masking' devices, and the REAL IMPULSE is to shatter the
shield. This is all good and fine if it were directed towards 'the
narcissistic mirror of self-reflection,' but in ever is. Cause the problem
is never with ONE, it's always somebody else's fault. Nevermind that this
gets transferred to the reproductive / fucking impulses and women are
forthe most part 'shields' or mirrors, so this murderous impulse gets
transferred to them.
Sanity is not expected however.
The kind of 'honesty' that you attempt to preach does not exist.
It's merely an attempt to SLOT humans and tag them with an easy label.
The pathetic weakness of an ape who cannot deal with reality, and seeks
security, which in turn manifests as psychotic control mechanisms.
What you want is not HONESTY. You want a flat, simple, predictable,
familiar IDENTITY with which the human is to IDENTIFY WITH. *Oh him
/ her*. The figured out human. The one with the 'personal quirks and
weaknesses' that somehow make him / her appear less threatening.
Certainly NOT one who doesn't HAVE any because that'll be a reminder
of your own state, and that one must work to overcome these things,
not pretend that they're ornamental jewelry. A weak and 'quirky'
human is controllable. Safe. Asleep. A strong, aware nd conscious
Being is not 'predictable'. Not 'controllable'. Never twice the same.
Never familiar. Connected to the source of knowledge, and to degrees
available to its being omniscient. Autonomous. And among other things
free. But that is not 'interesting'. A human victim twitching in its
trap–be it anger, or making a mistake due to sleep-state, attachment
and preferably DYING etc. is FAR MORE INTERESTING. Far from artistic
sensibility, intelligence, and talent, this kind of behavior is informed
by idiotic stupor and a morbid sado-masochistic pornographic murder
impulse. This does not come from one capable of genuinely enjoying Self,
Life, and others, and capable of creation.
The reality of the matter is that in FACT I am not wearing a mask in this
situation because I am capable of doing so in public for some periods of
time and protecting myself. What you are SCREAMINg about is that I AM NOT
A MASK. Because were I A MASK, and IDENTITY, you would know how to relate.
You'd know which holes to look for, and which buttons to push. What makes
'me' tick. The truly sad thing is that your so-elated 'human' contacts
are rarely joyous. You always seek to relate to another through its
'weakness' or 'pain'–and when you don't find any you're BENT on hurting
the other human in order to 'teach life'. Some of you even have the gal to
claim that they engage in this sadism 'out of compassion (Max Herman,
Peter von Brandenburg).' Compassion is the ability to transform another's
pain into 'love'–that is to heal. This is available to awakened
individuals mostly as well, although I've had the pleasure of encoyntering
some who doit unconsciously due to 'special' forces working through them.
Slapping people around like a butcher with flat stereotypical projections
is not 'compassionate'. Not only that but it strengthens the 'human'
masochistic impulse (hit me, I deserve it).
As is, when writing to 'me', you're screaming at a void, and projecting
all sort of imnecilities. You are not trying to UNMASK me. You are trying
to DICTATE A MASK TO ME. This is what you WANT. AN IDENTITY.
And this my dearest 'all' is driven by ego. Nothing else.
So take a good look at yourselves.

My dad used to sing the "Tennessee Waltz" and "Rocky Top" until about the age
of 45, then he stopped. I was happy, I never liked his singing. Now I sort of
miss it.
Anybody up for a beer?

No really Palle. This hasn't got anything to do with what I am doing.
Your murderous idiotic debasing impulses are not reflective of anything
besides your pathetic state.
> Get QUALIFIED today!
Yes, one has to be qualified before fucking around with humans.
Yes, there are quite objective laws by which the value of humans
can be judged.
Yes, one needs to have the inner and outer achievement
before one can claim grandiose titles like Shaman, Zen monk,
Sufi-influenced, etc. for oneself.
This 'fashionable' pathetic posing in order to pad one's ego
and the priorly mentioned attempts of every joe-schmoe to fill
in the 'empty' shoes of what was pastly-relevant as spiritual
tradition is not amusing, nor is it harmless.
I am not here to 'elevate' anyone to my state.
This is everyone's own responsibility.
As for your childish idiocy, shove it up your arse.

There is nothing 'sad' or 'cowardly' about wearing masks.
Masks are a proper funmction of the human being.
You are in fact wearing one as you speak.
Your obliviousness of it–now that cold be considered 'sad'.

addendum: crests of all forms (and hence brandmarks and logos)
are such 'expressions' of the mask
rather than expressive of cowardice and fear they are in fact
protective, and symbols of female (don't get bent out of shape
with idiotic misinterpretations about biological gender now)
male-female power
as for your myopic wishful knee-jerk apropos fear,
I lack the capacity to experience that sensation
I couldn't 'live in fear' if I tried.
Try passing judgement when you have a clue about anything.

However your 'logical' conclusion

and that you're a born Buddha and don't have to work is
nonsense.
All you are is numb to your suffering.

You can scream and stomp your foot, and repeat until you're out of
breath, but I will not be experiencing any fear.
Nor do you have the ability to know what another is feeling.

The TRUE Self dearest cannot be 'revealed' in public. Nor should it be.
Only impotent morons like yourself fear masks–and this is really what
is going on, paired with a grappling brain-driven control-freak
obsession. Reality, dear is veiled, and uncontrollable.
Humans are one of the greatest mysteries of manifest living life.
Humans are veiled, masked, and uncontrollable.
A fantastic mystery, which is only made available as knowledge to few.
There is no 'simple true self' that you can put on.
This my dearest is being flat and lifeless.
You're incapable of facing manifest and unmanifest reality, which are
both veiled–and this is so for the human spirit and soul as well with
very good reason. If you can't cope, I suggest you do something,
instead of attempt juvenile threats.
Secondly, you're not authorized to order anyone around what they should
or shouldn't. Dictatorial ape.
Lastly, no human owes anybody else no part of its privacy.
No human at all. If someone doesn't wish to appear in public–that is
his or her wish. Nobody owes anybody such appearances.
And if one chooses to appear in public, one has full right to do
it to the extent that he or she wishes.
They are not obligated to do anything. Humans aren't your
'bitches on a leash'. Your pathology is sickening.

How sweet. Thank you for that enlightening threat.
However, I sincerely doubt anyone 'could beat the fuck out of me'.
In person–which is what you mean. Identification with the body
is not 'true self' by any stretch of the imagination.
Your idiotic ignorance, paired with obsessive threats
are driven by fear and control-freak . You are the one who is
afraid.

I'm not sure where you get the impression that 'being human is a flaw'.
Humans are hardly 'perfectly human'. Besides this beating in the chest
'humanity' game is about as meaningful as calling everyone a fascist.
The word has been so whored out that nobody knows what they're talking
about–or hardly nay more.
As for humans, they need to overcome their 'humanness' if they want
to evolve. And evolve they must, at this point. Otherwise, the least
that would happen is that their capability for spirituality and
freedom will be 'permanently cut off'–and they will become worse
than the lowest life-forms in terms of fate.

I don't think dearest. I know what I am. Nor do you have any contact
at all and whatsoever with 'the goal'. And yes, part of the goal is
inhumanness. This is what awaits you after death. Beating yourself
in the chest about your 'humanity' is not going to have much of an

Nor have I 'read' anything.
My knowledge is direct experience of such matters.

You're about as qualified a judge about these matters
as a dead monkey.
All you are doing is reciting things I've said without understanding
them, and attempting to pass that as insight.
Your character assassination attempts are trivial and uninteresting.

you are human. you have the capacity to fear. and you are afraid every

Hardly. Yours haven't begun to mean anything.

No dearest, you can. Empathy is a quality which belongs to those
'inhuman'. That is, overcome human nature, and having gone quite a bit
along the path of spiritual development.
You are immature, sexually inept, and asleep.
All you can do is project, and throw meaningless 'accusations'.
If you had been anywhere NEAR empathy, you'd not be running around
beating your chest about 'humanity'–nor post this idiotic drivel,
which is motivated by spasmodic fear impotent masturbatory impulses.
Nor would you have a problem with masks.

No, you don't. This my dearest is a quality of evolved
beings. You are blind as a bat.
And not one being who can 'empathize' or 'see through' masks
is ignorant to the extent that you're exhibiting.
You can neither 'empathize' or 'see'.

There is nothing 'New Age' about One Reality.
Nor is this propaganda. Your idiocy is astounding.

It's totally relevant. This is what you are afraid of.
This is why you want a flat 'real' persona that doesn't wear masks.

Humans are not predictable. Only to the asleep do they appear as such.
Yes, most of them are trapped in mechanistic patterns behavior, and
so are you. that is due to being asleep. And human.

You are already a machine baby. Not only that, but your emotions are

Your gender / reproductive drive is mechanical. The mask you are wearing
is mechanical.
Much like many ignorant idiots you fancy being emotional
'non-machinistic'–wake up baby.
The spirit is not a machine, and neither is soul, nor consciousness.
The Universe dearest is not a machine.
Your early 21c Cultural programming is little but that–
false ideas stuffed in your brain. Your behavior is mechanical
and programmatic.
Not only that, but you are a machine. An asleep machine.

them. your MIMICRY is worthless. Your monkeying about is worthless.
Secondly, these are words applicable to you.
Turning them around and saying they apply to me, will not make
them insightful.
You're just so clever, arent you?

Suffering is how we progress our life. Numbness would lead to stagnation or
regression. I would "die" if not body, then 'soul' - accepting suffering is not
becoming numb to it. Avoiding suffering would be the casualty of fear.
