I have read an A-Gita version from Ramesh Balsekar translated in
german. Bart's version seems to be different so I'll read it
again, it moves me (although I am unmovable).
(In)finite games also touches me but I couldn't read more than
the beginning yet.
A quote from a sports trainer came to my mind: "After the game
is before the game!"

I like that quote, also one from a physicist that I stole,
'There is no out there, out there'. Can't remember his name in
order to give credit. Perhaps he stole it from another kind of
physicist, like Nis, or Ramana.
Much love, stay healthy
Jed.

`There is no out there out there´. :)
So there is nothing to desire out there?
Especially the first chapters of the A-Gita remind me of true
nature, the Aha-effect, or should I better say demind me?
> A single understanding:“I am the OneAwareness”,
consumes all suffering in the fire of an instant. <
Once on a hiking tour the leader asked us: "What do you desire?"
I answered: "To be free of desire!"
"Then you are on the cemetery!" he answered.
(Hm, that made me think, especially because everyone I told this
to confirmed the man was right....)
Many thanks and stay well

What an absolute delight, thank you so much for this
introduction to Ashtavakra Gita
As far as translations and readings of it I really enjoyed this
reading

The narrator's voice is almost exactly that of Van Helsing in
the 1931 Dracula movie with Bela Lugosi, which made it extra
delightful.

Much love, Jed.

Hearing the A.G. was interesting, but reading it has nearly
knocked my face off :D. Infinte and Finite Games is being
helpful. Thanks for pointing out such fun stuff!

like this? Thts the first sign your doing nothing. Bullshit. I'm

Dear RA:
Thanks for your expression, I can understand you feelings and
yes, I do put up with some siliness but they are all human
dreamers and if I got borred or tired of this I would just drift
of into some solitude. Most of the student who come here are
experiencing the same challenges that I did, and manage to get
through. Perhaps it's a little payback because I feel I wound up
with the best part of any deal this universe ever offered.
My 'this is all bull-shit' stage was relatively short, if I
recall, about six months... then I found some high grade
bull-shit and that lasted about another six months, eventually I
realized it was all bull-shit and that blaming others was also
bull-shit, my bull-shit and probably worse than any. I
eventually cracked and it all dissapeared via empathy and
forgivenes. I had to do it all on my own... and I was thick with
bull-shit but I managed. Now I know with 100 percent when
people are lying to me and I instantly understand and forgive.
And that is not bull-shit.
Love ya, stay healthy.
Jed.

Words are hard to listen to there all bullshit. I'm aware enough
that Im quite full of shit and that makes me sick but bullshit
is also a big part of entertainment so it's like a double edged
sword. One thing I can't understand is intentionally supporting
each other's bullshit which I think you used to have a little
less tolerance for (based on my 5 years on this forum) . You
don't see much fluffy bullshit out of some one like you or
Sandra Ann for example. But what the hell do I know I'm just no
one
