It was mentioned in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1570628106?ie=UTF8&tag=onecosmos-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=1570628106" rel="nofollow">Inner Christianity</a>, by Richard Smoley, to whom I will always be grateful. Looking back on it, that book was a real turning point, because it also pointed me to Robin Amis's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/079142572X?ie=UTF8&tag=onecosmos-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=079142572X" rel="nofollow">A Different Christianity</a>, which opened up a number of extremely fruitful avenues, including going back to the early fathers.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14249005793605006679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-67260345905477308012009-12-23T05:57:35.001-08:002009-12-23T05:57:35.001-08:00From David Warren:

I...Hello Bob and your splinter personality Dupree:<br /><br />I am the odious Wayne Dyer supporting anonymous entity.<br /><br />I went peevish because I suffer the malady of making assertions without doing my homework. This is because asserting is fun and I am lazy.<br /><br />Naturally when I saw Bob doing the same I attacked, because the primary reason people attack other people is because they see one of their own qualities manifesting in the other.<br /><br />So, my feeble defense of Dyer consists of the following:<br />His doctrine is roughly summarized by "God is real, God is within, God is without, God is all, you can reach God by taking away the overlay of egoism that keeps you from Him, here are some techniques for changing your attitude so you can find God. And by the way I'm politically way to the left."<br /><br />Bob's doctrine can be roughly summarized as "God is real, God is within, God is without, God is all, you can reach God by taking away the overlay of leftist cultural mind parasites that keep you from him, here is some literature that I've analyzed that shows you how others have done this. And by the way, I don't like leftists."<br /><br />There is a rough correlation in the first parts of the two doctrines. This is why I don't think Bob has read much of Dyer and suspect he's prejudiced against him. Because to me the differences in the two men appear to be political and/or ego driven and not related to spiritual doctrine. <br /><br />Therefore, Bob's dislike of Dyer is a thoroughly horizontal artifact and need booing.<br /><br />I can't back it with observations because I am a pathetic wanker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-61707588840463657392009-12-22T13:28:19.786-08:002009-12-22T13:28:19.786-08:00Better, River.Better, River.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589423819039764711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-70363305481411715822009-12-22T13:26:33.211-08:002009-12-22T13:26:33.211-08:00RR: My thought about war is like asking if there a...RR: My thought about war is like asking if there are good or bad floods, famines or epidemics; it is more proper in my mind to say that something made them necessary, and it is for us to deal with them as justly as we can.

So when I much later started having those periods of inexplicable bliss, I just let them run their course. <br /><br />(For clarity, we are not talking about the bliss that comes from mingling with female energies here. It is, I now believe, more likely the proximity of higher spirits in the invisible world, still not close enough to communicate but close enough that one may feel their uplifting and radiant proximity. I may be wrong about that of course. I still have a hard time believing anyone good would not recoil from my presence, but I have learned it is easy to underestimate grace as well.)Magnus Itlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445902788427523461noreply@blogger.com
