l analysis & appraisal, I said that there were obviously two directly opposed categories of criticism - constructive & destructive - to which he replied never ever apologise for offering constructive criticism- while all those around you perceive ALL criticism to be destructive.Reality is not just the bad; it is also the good.
The mind requires an awareness of both in order to work at its best.
For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends,but for one who has failed to do so, his/her very mind will be the greatest enemy.
- as Carl Jung so rightly stated -
THE most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.
When one considers the actions of our "masters of the globe" - I invariably amuse myself by thinking about Leonardo da Vinci's take on them, which was that they were -
"as wise as the wind they fart from their arses"

ART is your particular telling of reality. When we talked about
letting go of preconceived ideas and drawing what you actually
see, Bernhard compared it to a night out with one of his friends.
While Bernhard might just recount that night by saying, “We went
out and had some food and went home”, his friend might have
noticed a lot of interesting details that Bernhard didn’t, and tell a story with those details in a way that’s hopefully both interesting, sometimes "moving" and occasionally hilarious.

tive, the views of Andrew Cohen, to and of which I have made several references in cyberspace, in the context of “DON’T KILL THE MESSENGER” because IT IS in “deed” the case that IF you KILL THE MESSENGER you then also KILL THE MESSAGE • and my message from the other nation across the pond of the "two nations divided by one language" as spoken of in friendship by Winston Churchill, IS that the REAL problem with the vast majority of the evolution of consciousness message material, generated by the USA, is accompanied by that Try now for free strap-line, when in REALITY one has to invariably commit to paying upfront for the message, in juxtaposition to the offering of Gautam Buddha's message to Mahakashyapa, in the form of a lotus flower • because as OSHO once said ... "THE KEY to all teachings, not only for a Buddha but for ALL MASTERS • Jesus, Mahavira, Lao Tzu • cannot be given through verbal communication. THE KEY cannot be delivered through the mind; nothing can be said about it. The more you say the more difficult it [BE]comes to deliver, because you and the buddha live in different dimensions • NOT ONLY different but diametrically opposite • that whatever a buddha says WILL [BE] MISUNDERSTOOD".
