    LOL.....No pleasing some is there?

    The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain?
    So many paths to the same destination,
    would, but I could, experience them all...

    Lorrina, did ya check out those two videos Mel posted about the Eastern gurus...?

    Go to that post and click on them, then also follow on into some of his other posts__quite a picture...

    You can quickly see what's happening to the 'New Agers'...

    They're following many of these Eastern gurus, who are turning outright beligerant and nasty__in turn destroying what they've come to believe in...

    It's the web attacking all these false Eastern beliefs, and the gurus really being 'plastic shamans', not able to handle criticism, and turning mean spirited...

    The Eastern thought systems__the ones not real__are being collapsed in on themselves, by the advance of internet criticism and video exposure, etc...

    This translates into the followers eventual collapses...

    It's just the old Greek cultural systems analyses, collapses of old systems, as new ones take their place...

    My bet's on science and a mixed grounded humanism, as the only systems eventually left standing__In the end...

    Yup... and even without the 'I' and the 'it' there's curiously still the thinking and the raining.

    The rain is raining and the brain is braining.

    In "It is raining" the "it" is a pronoun standing in for "The rain" even though the noun was not just previously said, as would be the usual case, or something like that. It doesn't mean that the Dream is raining.

    Driven mad first by suffering, he then dies a slow and terrible death.

    So with students. Thrown into the ring of the academy, the false teaching, the inane cultural proprieties will drive the student mad.

    Teachers will sweep before them the clever capes that seduce and irritate you simultaneously.

    As if by slight of hand, they say, “No, truth lies here.”

    But then as you grab the truth, there is no body beneath the cape, no reality behind the appearances.

    So emerges the suffering. Then like picadors, the matadors of the mind will impale you with penetrating insights - their own.

    And then the slow terrible death begins.

    The mind begins to bleed to death in the hot sand of the arena.

    You become a hero by the way in which you courageously endure such a death.

    You must finally kill the teacher, before he kills you.


    A hero looks death in the face....... real death.......not just the image of death.


    Beware the cunning capes.

    Water from the clouds is raining down through the air to the ground.

    Or… just… It is raining.


    I guess it rains a lot in England.
