A care so rare!

Is there anything at all that's really

unimportant? I should think not!

For in the trivial is truly hidden the

Magnificent - indeed an incredible plot!

Unlocking the mind.

If I, you, look at oneself, talking here on a forum, aren't we going to see a lot of words and these are what we are all trying to figure out? Maybe we don't understand what I, you are saying, or can not follow the discussion we are entering…

The flux is the crux!

In bewilderment yet in awe,

When one observes how

Life itself is in a state of flux,

It's indeed natural to let go

by merging with the Flow!



When to roam far and wide

Flying out of one's own nest

Out into the… Continue

Can Truth ever soothe?

What a tragic society this is!

With ideas obscuring facts

And organizations claiming

To point the way to Truth!

Tell me, isn’t your heart afire?

Ah! How childish a drama

Dear friend, come lets inquire!

Unoccupied

KERNEL AND THE SHELL

All assertions of K come from his unfragmented state of intelligence only. There is no point in analyzing or discussing only the outer expanded applications, without understanding his basic discovery of the 'unfragmented state of intelligence',…

    K & Vegetarianism 50 Replies

    K was a lifelong vegetarian, first as a Brahmin in India and later by choice in Europe.  He also chose to wear leather shoes (and belts?), which drew questions over the years.Here's a sample of Q&As with K dealing with these issues.  While K made it clear that vegetarianism is the compassionate choice, even a natural choice, he also made it  clear that it is not the primary issue. Letters to the Schools, Volume Two, Letter 17, 1st November 1983 What is nature?  There is a great deal of talk…Continue

    Cultural Conditioning Against Crying? 4 Replies

    Have we been conditioned to be AFRAID to cry (with tears)?Babies and small children cry, this we know. We adults, most of us, cry very little, or not at all. Is this because we adults no longer have much need to cry, and so, perhaps, lose some or all of the ability to cry? Or is this because we we are conditioned as children to be afraid/ashamed to cry?"Stop crying, or I'll give you something to cry about!!". Who among us never heard this phrase even once as a child? I can remember at least two…Continue

    Sir, you mean all the gurus and masters are wrong? 87 Replies

    Long ago somebody asked a question to K which most probably goes along this line `Sir, you mean to say all the gurus and all the masters over the past thousands of years were all wrong? '.K said ` why not? why are you so gullible to accept all of them' and he went to explain... I wish Ken perhaps throw more light on this about the original version.  I wonder how many of you agree with his statement and think that this is the only original and pristine teachings?

    Perception Without the Center? 44 Replies

    This topic arose from Don's "Feminist Men" discussion and I thought it was important enough (for me at least) to deserve a separate discussion.Peter Stephens (On Tuesday):Sorry if I look at this from a more introverted way, but it gets back to the image process. I look at some one of the opposite sex and I notice what I find attractive. But you can't just stare at people, so I don't focus on it, and I get a sense of something more appealing, which is the freshness of life in the human…Continue
