joshu bends a monk



in the course of editing this, i felt it was good but didn't understand why . .

then when listening to it for maybe the tenth time it suddenly hit me as to what it was a b o u t . .

that is, the irretrievable loss of a day ..

burnt



i really am feeling burnt by researching sepehr's suggestion of the book "the hospice" by robert aickman, its entertainment and wrong minded, this sort of swill is endless and it actually hurts to go into it . .

so what do i do ?

do i need a public message board at all, the reality is i don't, i am available by email or reddit nick, when i deal with people individually its easier. .

the basic problem with the public board has always been because of the way i feel the need to deconstruct the erroneous viewpoints, so there's just this ongoing burden that i am now finding too damaging, people following their interests which are peripheral to mine, zakaj is an easy example because he is so clearly in the gabriel pradīpaka camp, totally bizarre but i am not in the business of remedying his mistake, this is it, people really have their own views and the energy required for deconstruction to keep this public message board sane is just too much for me !

so i am suspending the comments section in two or three days, after that i will permit comments as i feel suitable which at this point will only be people asking for contact information or having an important announcement !

so in effect this blog ceases to be a public discussion board . .

one of the factors in this decision has been observing blogs or facebook pages of people who give retreats and that sort of thing, they also have this issue of the discussion running away in directions that are negative for their reputation and quite involving if they care to step into the fray . .

so its just like a general issue and i'm not into fixing the world at all if it were even possible ! :o)
