Don't cheer too early, Obama will send a couple of drones to these communitarian devil worshippers. This will restore free market order and repair the damage done to the superior democracy of the US Imperium (God's own country!). Coca Cola will return in triumph, its hegemony assured!

Then some local news: apparently the Siva Sakti oracle spoke a few days ago and said that Armaggedon will not happen in 2012 after all - so we don't have to be afraid anymore. Now that will cheer you up. You can take a deep breath and go on with your useless lives without worry!

Dear Gregory,

What a lovely, cheerful picture you've painted of tomorrow, full of sunrises and smiles. Very prescient.

Wonderful things are happening also in the Americas. In the southern hemisphere, December 21st is, of course, the Summer Solstice, which Bolivians celebrate on Lake Titicaca on the sacred La Isla del Sol at 12,507 ft elevation. According to the Mayan calendar, this is also the date that all planets will line up after 26,000 years and the earth will enter a new cycle. The Bolivian government has made a thrilling announcement that, this year, the Coca-Cola Company will be expelled from Bolivia on December 21st.

David Choquehuanca, Minister of External Affairs explained: “The twenty-first of December 2012 is the end of selfishness, of division. The twenty-first of December has to be the end of Coca-Cola and the beginning of our own MocoChinche (a peach-flavored Bolivian soft drink). It is the end of capitalism and the beginning of communitarianism.”

The government is pledging to legalize the consumption of coca leaves. Bolivia also wants to “wake up in january and feel great joy at being able to drop a huge load of concepts that were driving them for the last few years”. Would that Western Europe, India and North America could follow their example.

Yours as ever,

Myles O’Blarney

predictions for 2013 ...

a lot of ascension teachers, channelers, advocates will wake up in january and feel great joy at being able to drop a huge load of concepts that were driving them for the last few years ..

a lot of satsangers, neo and regular advaitins will come to realize there IS an i, and begin to start making choices, designing their lives, creating, doing, and feel great elation at letting go of a huge load of concepts that were driving them for the last few years ..

What’s that sound? Can you hear it . . . . .

Regular pulsations of . . . “Whishhh . . whishhh . . whishhh . . . . whishhh”. . . . wafting up from the hand of the Divine Surgeon in his labyrinth on the East side of the mountain. Listen, as he lovingly hones and strops the gleaming steel of his blade. Surely a moment for surgical intervention is at hand. Shiva’s divine mercy will strike, and halt some descent into unconscionable depravity. Will it now be focused on Nithyananda's Dhyanapeeta with its garden of 1008 lingams which eats so deeply into the foothills of sacred Arunachala Siva?

Just as a fragile canary may detect poisonous air in a mine, so the resident canary of Tiru, the poor and fragile Richard Clarke, has detected foetid excrescences blasting out from Nithananda’s public address system.

He writes on Tuesday, 27 November 2012, “I heard from Nithyananda's Dhyanapeeta a song on a very loud speaker. It started playing the familiar and popular "Arunachala Siva" [which is sung daily as a devotional hymn at Ramanashram]. But then it went on, . . . . with new verses with the chorus [changed to] “Arunachala Nithya”, “Arunachala Nithya”. I am deeply offended that Nithya's supporters seem to think of him as replacing Siva . . and [that they] allow this song to be played at Deepam for the hundreds of thousands that pass by and have no choice but to listen, given the volume.”

Our canary has detected a cancer, thereby mandating that the health and sanctity of the Giri Pradikshina be restored. Thank god I am safely in Tipperary and will not need to breathe the air in Tiru as the anesthesia begins to be administered.

Yours as ever,

Myles O’Blarney

Anyway you're shagging a clone of the late Steve at this very moment in time - in the form of the monstrous Sven. So you must get off on the whole Blofeld baldy thing! The Ian McShane cameo in Sexy Beast where he's shafting a banker and planning a robbery is the disturbing image that rears its ugly head!

2012-11-21T14:46:18.159+00:00

Dear Ms Borgia
I don’t care about the recital of supreme bullshit in the fucking post. I was referring to the Great Master’s recent comment: "And then there is free will. It's very hard to accept that we're not in control of the world and that there's no one and nothing there - even when it feels that way". If you read it quick or slowly it doesn’t matter, the import is evident. If this is not a nice example of Neo Advaita sweetened with a large spoon of Buddhist Nihilism I am a fucking clone of the late buffoon Steve Woodman. It could have been written by that other Great Master Sri Sri Spermananda. Maybe the Great master should try to read and understand your lengthy explanations, if his murky brain still allows that.

Meanwhile don’t worry; I perfectly understand that I maybe exist and that I might have written these both real and unreal words in the hypothetical comment section of this imaginary post from my possible existing and similarly non-existing cave No. 7 at the slopes of an appearance called Arunachala in this or any other parallel universe. Are you happy now?

Mein Lieber Verehrer Meilen.

Ich bin so froh das mich endlich jemand Liebt, ohne Beweggrund, ohne Zweck, nur Liebe, endlose ewige selbstlose Liebe.
Dein Strauss Gardenien schlägt bei mir dem Fass den Boden aus!
Tausendmal dank, und vergess nicht das die Liebe immer stärker ist als der Tod.
Vielleicht kann ich dich mal einladen in meine Grotte, nur zum Spass, keine Verplichtung!
Ich freue mich schon auf unsere Begegnung
Alles Liebe.
Deine Schwester.

Beloved Sister You are always so easy to deal with...

2012-11-20T19:21:00.141+00:00

Beloved Sister
You are always so easy to deal with. You never read what the Great Master writes and so get yourself into needless trouble. The post says: "Put another way, it is not that there is "no" free will. Rather, it is that there is no "one" to have it."

Now, take a deep breath. Read it again. Slowly. Of course, you still don't understand so I'll spell it out for you.

You have been guilty before of Neo Advaitin crimes and here we are again. Now your good friend Glow has come to join you. What a divine couple you would make. Who would wear the strap on? Before you decide, this should get you hot to trot:

Neo Advaita = something completely exists and/or something completely doesn't exist. E.g. sentences like "there is only the Self" or "there is no free will," "there is nothing to do" or "no method". All of these views presume the absolute existence or the absolute non-existence of something. Historically these two positions were known as eternalism and nihilism respectively. This is the dualist mirror through which everything is refracted ...

Meanwhile Advaita, properly understood says that all things are real AND unreal. So it is never a question of whether things do OR don't exist. Instead they do AND they don't.

So free will does AND doesn't exist. This is why we say it is an "appearance" rather than a reality (or unreality). It's there (and exists) but equally it's not there (and doesn't exist). It really is very simple my dear. Ciao bella!

2012-11-20T18:26:12.043+00:00

Has yer brain gone soft from being shagged senseless by that monstrous carbunkle Sven? Ramesh the rickshaw driver says your screams were heard from miles away. Have you read the post and do you even have Wifi in your paramour's cave? It's all a fucken paradox, it is and it ain't ... It is a riddle, wrapped in an enigma, but perhaps there is a key? And that key is a blunt instrument (or preferably a baseball bat) that will bludgeon some sense into that thick Teutonic head of yours!

Kevinji ... I can’t believe my ears! Are you actua...

2012-11-20T17:26:20.858+00:00

Kevinji ... I can’t believe my ears! Are you actually saying that there is no such thing as free will, that we are not in control? Are you converted into Schopenhauerism? Does that mean that even you can make progress? Do you remember that you and Mrs Lucretia condemned me to Hell and beyond, a few posts ago, because I had the nerve to say that there is no free will as such. Or did you just forget to type the magical word? Oh dear, oh dear!

And then Myles is babbling in his usual drunken, delusional stupor from his “Stammtisch” in his favorite Tipperary pub - quoting a silly American called William James who already in his first act of free will contradicts himself. He says: “My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will”. But it was the same Schopenhauer who stated that: "You can do what you will, but in any given moment of your life you can will only one definite thing and absolutely nothing other than that one thing." (Lucretia would definitely slyly add the word "apparently" here, which I will not deny her).

Exactly, no room for discussion! But a mature position, as you would suggest? Yes, maybe for a bloody Yank, but surely not for a person with any level of intellect and understanding. I advise another pint of O’MyGod’s best bitter!

2012-11-19T21:44:55.171+00:00

Dear, dear, dear – my dear Gentlemen!

The clamour and cacophony of the Bar atmosphere here is distracting.

May I suggest we take our drinks and move into the Lounge or the Snug? There we may be able to relax a bit more on a cushioned seat and sit together at a table.

---------

Aaaah, here we are.

Not bad, the ale here. I like its copper, rubyish colour with the thick off-white head and lacing. This one here has a nose of cinnamon, clove, and ginger. Palate is very clean. The finish reminds me of sipping a holiday ale by the fireplace with a Christmas tree smell in the room. . . . . .

Oh, oh. . . Sorry. . . Got a bit carried away there. . . .

Yes. Going back to the question of “free will”. Renouvier’s idea of free will was “the sustaining or selecting of a thought because I choose to when I might have selected another thought”. This choice of a particular thought has not been deterministically caused by the presence or absence of another thought. It is related to chance and is the opposite of determinism. The American philosopher William James earlier in his life had felt that determinism was inevitable and necessary but later, rather dramatically, he chose to believe his will was free. Putting his finger into the eye of all determinists he declared, “My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will,” thereby leaving little room for discussion.

This was a mature position to take, I would suggest.

Another round, gentlemen? Something to eat perhaps? Fancy some pork scratchings or pickled eggs? They’ve a slow braised lamb shank on a mild mustard mash with thyme that’s quite decent here, provided you’re not following a vegetarian scheme of things in your sadhana, of course.

I think I shall sample a bit of their Perry.

Yours as ever,

Myles O'Blarney

You still don't get it, do you?! You can't decide to take a more mature approach and its form is not under your control either. Nobody can say what a more mature response is, least of all me. In fact, we can't even hope - that when your spiritual pretensions get put on the spot - you will stop dismissing this as neo advaita or a cliche!

Hi Glow. But no-one can do what you suggest, that's the point! You can't decide to stifle your laughter or look at them with detachment and compassion. It either happens or it doesn't and that's not under your control. You are reacting to this post and the world of spirituality as if it were really there. What you experience internally and externally is not a reality. It is an appearance. If you want to practice compassion, stop coming out with these patronising, flaky platitudes and start taking a more mature approach. But oh! ... You can't decide to do that either ... See what I mean?

2012-11-18T08:44:10.610+00:00

Unfortunately, this post is quite uncomfortable for both New Agers and Advaitins alike. While those in the realm of 2012 theories never question the reality of the world, neither do many Advaitins, even though Advaita directly invites them to. Advaita is also stuck in the crass dualism of discounting half of the world as not worthy of its concern. And then there is free will. It's very hard to accept that we're not in control of the world and that there's no one and nothing there - even when it feels that way.

What happened to the post? Is it dead ... Or are you, like me, paralysed by the thought that on November 22, the Eleventh Gate will be activated, the Canoe of the New will arrive and the fresh new energies coming from El Mao Mao, Beyond the Beyond, will finally manifest on the physical? Where can we hide? I guess we must trust our state of Bliss will be unaffected by these events!

2012-11-12T08:09:13.583+00:00

It's amazing how much of life Advaitins leave out. They are caught in an interminable dualism between what is and what isn't worthy of their attention. Just look at all the dessicated, dried up old cadavers trundling around in Ramana Nagar. They're barely alive and barely breathing. They can't see past their minds: lost in the labyrinth of an Advaitic Judgement of Solomon!

My comment to the gibberish of this post is brief, but to the point!

Sur elle il s’accroupit; ce cadavre lui plait;
Par moments gai, vainqueur, la prunelle rougie,
Il se retourne et donne a la morte un soufflet”.

2012-11-11T13:12:18.380+00:00

The article is yet another materialist worldview that they are all nuts, and after our money. One I might have written a few years ago. The problem is this is not the world view of those who have been in control of this damaged reality, it's not the one of bankers who pepper our currency and corporate logos with esoteric symbolism, not the the experience of military industrialists who we KNOW have had long interactions with ETs (a friend of mine's father worked with Generals and Admirals who KNEW ETs were real), not the mindset of Illuminati or the black nobility nor even much longer the belief of the general population. How dare the general population awaken! Don't they know their place?

Oh Humongous One
Do not fear, help is at hand. Even from your recumbent position on the sofa, the following should be possible: Insert your left index finger up your ass and remain on the sofa for 21 days, the first 7 drinking fruit juices only. After the cosmic death experience, which will occur between days 7 and 14, you will experience the joyous realisation that you do not have a body. In the final week both you and your wife will start to feed on prana and light only. You will not become an Arian but a fully fledged, inter-dimensional ALIEN. So don't worry about granny since you will have fully transformed your DNA both forwards and backwards in time. Tomorrow belongs to you!
