IDENTIFYING 'MARKS' OF A SELF-REALIZED PERSON

A few on here are like that....I feel like I can relax and be myself around such people like your kind self, Jyotir, Still Waters, Jonesboy, NoOne and sometimes Unseeking Seeker...everyone else on here is basically "forget it!" as far as I am concerned personally...there is like a "great divide" that exists between "group A" and "group B" and I don't know why.

All I know is that there are some people who never agree with me, I never agree with them either, but instead of ignoring me which I desperately WANT to happen, they follow me around, openly saying "OBJECTION!" each and every time I express an opinion.

Now, I have a question for you...I have asked this of many people and haven't got a response yet..

What if someone does something which annoys you and you tell them that they are annoying you..

To wit and which they say "if you are getting annoyed by what I do, that isn't my problem...maybe you should look within yourself to find out why?"

...and so, I do...I look within myself...I look DEEP within myself trying to find the answer...sometimes I will stew on it during weeks of intense introspection..in the end, I'll just get "nothing to see here...the dude was just being a huge jerk...case closed".

So what does it mean when you always get THAT reply when you look within? "It is everyone ELSE" and NOT you?"

Curious as to what you think about this.

Why in other threads you have complained that people do not respond to your postings?

Could it be you do not want us to reply to your postings?

As you have indicated, you seem to only want a few people to respond to your posts.
Why not mention that list of names at the beginning or ending of your posts?

Or you could do as what one member has done in the past and that is announce publicly he was putting another person on his ignore list.

Being this thread has been hijacked,
lets get back on topic.

self realized or with the addition of the feminine aspect, imo you cant judge a book by the cover.

I started this thread.

If you have issues with a lot us, why insult us with your animosity toward us?

Yes, I can see you started this thread...it is "your party"...."your show" and you don't like it when your limelight gets stolen, do you?

Oops...sorry to say "we must agree to disagree" before I leave this thread ... don't wanna be a "party pooper" now...as you were.

As you wish..

To all and sundry..

I am putting Big John on my ignore list because he hijacked and derailed a thread in the Buddhist Forum and is now hypocritically accusing me of doing likewise in HIS thread.

http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/sh...d.php?t=132791

However, you have answered my question...the best way to deal with people who annoy you is to totally ignore them and just focus on those who do not.

So, I will not be gatecrashing your parties in future...I should have learned my lesson to give threads which use all capital letters in their titles a big miss....that rings "alarm bells" for me.

If you reread what you post, it is you that has issues with others.

If you want to insult most of us, it is your choice, but do not do it in this thread.

FINE!

Put me on your ignore list along with all the other people you have issues with.

If you claim I hijacked a thread in the Buddhist section, then
why do you not tell people not to reply to your post?

DO ME A FAVOR AND DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST OR ANY OF MY OTHER POST!!

You seem to use this tactic a lot (like jonesboy)

It’s a forum, and no one owns a thread.

Peace!

This ''divide'' is an imagination. I can easily think of other members who (often) agree with some of the members above, members you had issues with, so where do they fit in? A or B? That's where your ''divide'' already shows a logical inconsistency.

It's not a simple table where we have A and B that you need to imagine, but instead you need a map that illustrates complex relationships. A map that, mind you, also changes over time and with the topic. Even if you imagine you are always on the 'same page' as the members above I challenge you to explore different kinds of topics with them.

SD is really good, I wouldn’t worry about her. She’s far better than she purports to be.

Namaste
