I wonder, Jon, if my comments haven't scared off the others. I know I do affect a number of people like that. You might try asking for an evalution of the...
Not sure why everybody's been so quiet, but can speak for myself. Um... I've been going through a lot. For the last couple of months. So I haven't kept up...
Well, the BIG reason is your group facilitator (that would be me!) hasn't created the new schedule of readings.... Will do that tonight! Really! jon ... -- Jon...
What I've enjoyed the most, so far, is this group's discussion of the Upanishads and the logia from the Gospel of Thomas. More Upanishads and Thomas, please!...
Thanks for the feedback... That makes me want to put out a question to the group: Do we want to continue with the two readings / day "NT + non-NT" format, or...
I agree. Larry, you didn't scare me away. I'm just busy and sometimes forget to post :-/ ... the Upanishads and the logia from the Gospel of Thomas. More ...
I've posted readings for this week in the files section... We'll pick up tomorrow where we left on Romans 13, and Thomas 23. I really would like more feedback...

Hooray Thomas! This schedule will last us for a very long time! Thanks Jon!...
I won't be doing the New Testament readings -- I'm having enough trouble keeping up with the Old and New Testament readings in the Lectio Divina group. From...
I think there are only a few chapters in Romans left so it's probably a good plan to go ahead and finish it off. I think Upanishads might come after that!!!! I...
The correspondences between Thomas and the other gospels is endlessly fascinating: "(23) Jesus said: I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of...
Quite true. I remember Pagels said that the Valentinians equated the "called" with the psychics and the "chosen with the pneumatics... The called are called to...
I've posted the reading schedule, updated through most of the rest of the month. This week we continue Thomas readings,and end with an overview of the very,...
"I marvel at this, how this great wealth has settled in this poverty." The great wealth of course is the spirit. The poverty? the flesh, which has a special...
(I'm sorry, I thought I had mailed this several days ago!) Absolutely right... the body is the temple in which we worship. ... -- Jon http://www.frimmin.com ...
Monday, we'll read the Mandukya Upanishad. It's the shortest of all of what are called the "principal" Upanishads, so it's easy to take it in in a day. It's...
The invocation for Shvetashvatara is the same as that for the Isha: OM! That is full; this is full. Fullness comes forth from fullness. When fullness is taken...
I'm here, though I've been quiet (busy) lately. Manukya was good. Nothing really grabbed me from it except that it was interesting to read the descriptions of...
I think Shvetashvatara might grab you more. I'm not quite sure how you see Mandukya promoting aloofness... V. 4 says that the turiya state is not with...
I was mostly referring to "The Way of A Pilgrim" more than the turiya state. Merging the actual experience of the pilgrim with the intellectual description of...
Greetings Friends, Is anyone familiar with the works of George Maloney? He writes about eastern orthodox and catholic mystics. Yours in Christ, Ronaldkp....
I haven't read any of his work. I am just starting to read up on orthodoxy, so I'm glad to hear a recommmendation. I'll check him out. Any particular book you...
Although I haven't yet read Mandukya, I experience a pervasive feeing that many of western devotees of Eastern Religion seem to me detached from many or most...
I think I like what you're saying Larry, but would you mind elaborating a bit more? I always like listening to your wisdom. ... henceforth...." ... it in ... ...
Detachment by no means means passivity or inaction, Larry. Like the Bhagavad Gita? It's willingness to deal with whatever happens--"detachment from the fruits...
I used to see it that way as well - always a fight. Really I was just fighting myself. Now I try to be love; I am fighting only to be myself. Which, actually,...
What a mystery is a human being! How we do everything and anything to keep from simply being. Human. Amazing, isn't it? ... -- Jon http://www.frimmin.com ...
This is the last day scheduled for reading the Shvetashvatara Upanishad, and I'm not sure anyone beside myself has gotten to it. Would it be helpful to take...
