I am challenging what I see as incorrect cross-referencing of terms and meanings. Nemo
Ok good. Could you just refresh a little? What is it specifically that you see needs correcting. I know the darting past the eagle is one. Probably 3rd attention is another etc.
Do you not like that I take sorcery terms made popular by CC and interpret them through another tradition? BTW I was doing the same before I even mentioned Buddhist stuff in this way. I have been keeping it in a Buddhist vain though because of this being a Zen thread.
I have always thought that both DJ and CC encouraged this seeing for one's self. I have been inspired by DJ but I am not just going to parrot him. I entered into a dialogue with these two years ago and I have not been shy about sharing where the conversation has led over the years, especially concerning sorcery and the conclusions presented by this tradition as espoused by the likes of CC. (BTW Lujan seems to do this also). Being able to do this has a way or re-presenting old and familiar ideas so that we can take a fresh look at them.
I am well capable of talking about 3rd attention and the eagle and its emanations and presenting my words in such a way that would only enforce the already popular notions found in CC's books. Christianity has been doing just that for 2000 years with Jesus and the Bible and now institutional Christianity has ended up in a "devotional" dead end that it is having trouble extricating itself because to do so in today's climate would look apostate.
