Nothing Ever Happens by Del Amitri - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu4p-pWkP1A Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats Janitors padlock the gates for security guards to patrol And bachelors phone up their friends for a drin...

Thanks Lucy. I forgot he'd said that in PON. I don't know why I asked about that now...

Which CD was this Lucy? I've never heard him speak of that before. When I was about 4 or 5, I was at my gran's house with her and my mum. They were sitting talking and I looked over at the living room door at one point and saw a sort of hooded, skeleton figure, like an image of the grim reaper, stan...

I guess the issue I'm having is your point of view vs. the mystic path. For instance I'm involved in a path which teaches a form of meditation in which one enters into the spiritual more ethetric regions and constantly progress throughout these regions with specific instructions ontil the one merge...

I want to thank you for pointing all this out. It has all been very helpful.

Nice one. Keep on.

What to me seems more horrifying, is ripe pre-ablazement I don't know what you mean by "ripe pre-ablazement" because if something is actually happening you don't have a choice. I became 'ill' 3 months into my first job after leaving school. The first time it seemed like some weird flu thing - it to...

No, Lucy, I'm not using my experience as blueprint. I really don't know what happened to me. I have to use others as a reference to put my experience into some sort of context. Something happened to me at 17, some sort of energy took hold, which I never understood at the time. This set-up the progre...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you become stagnant or do nothing. Far from it. What you speak of can happen if you start to negate everything intellectually but that is not what I am talking about. When the one who thinks he is living a life, doing these activities, disappears, the desire is no ...

If it's inevitable, what does courage have to do with it? "Having courage to go that far" implies a choice. It's a drive, a single-mindedness to see the falseness of society's man-made rituals, dogmas and morals and then to take action, because you can't talk about being free while you are bound by...

That's great that you don't care if you sound like him, than you shouldn't care if others are interested in the actuality of love and compassion. The "actuality of love and compassion" - now you have turned that into some thing . You don't understand that they are tricking you, even UG, when they s...

Can you say anything that is truly yours 7worlds, all of this is from U.G. I listened to the same video. For someone who instructs everyone to purge all ideas that have been drilled into us, you sure quote U.G. a lot. I don't see any difference between you quoting U.G's ideas constantly and us talk...

If you don't know what it is, than how do you know that you'd rather be immersed in shit instead of it? From your point of view, not mine. This "love" seems to mean something to all of you. The Dalai lama speaks of love and compassion, he hasn't created any havoc although many would say he certainl...

Immerse me in shit any day over this love you speak of. I have more respect for people who hate. They follow through and act. Those who constantly speak of love and compassion create the biggest havoc on this planet.

I think that about says it all (No judgement intended), but if you ever been touched deeply be love, you would know it. Obviously I don't then. If it can be known (which means it can also leave) then it's a feeling, sensation, high, sex, lust, love - they're all the same. Or you are a compassionate...

Other than a 4 letter word, I don't know what love is. That is why I'm curious why so many people seem to want to uphold and defend it. I would also question kindness and friendliness. If I can say I have acted out of kindness that means I am aware I'm doing something special, that I am somehow sepa...
