Well, it is obvious from most of ZenMaster's responses to me that he has some sort of an issue with me. I have always tried to be tolerant of that and often just joke about it. But I cannot understand what it was in this post that aroused his ire toward me again. So I will just let that blow in the wind as his offering to the discussion, however beneficial or not.
I will admit to a long standing hope that many seekers will turn to Ancient Wisdom for further understanding of such things as we speak of here in this community and I have always made that clear.
But that is not any deceitful attempt at recruiting into a specific religion or cult. The Ancient Teachings of which I speak are assimilated into many cultures and relgions around the globe.
With regard to a past post where I deliberately quoted hatonn and Latwii without actually revealing the quotes as being of them, or myself, it was assumed that I deliberately tried to make it appear as though I was making the staement myself.
In reality I was trying to get reaction to what was stated in the quotes so that readers would not be biased to the sources in any way and would respond according to what they actually thought about what was said. In this way I had hoped to show that those who would argue what was satted in that post and yet used Quo as the source of their theoretical conclusions were actually in contradiction of what hatton and latwii were teaching.
That may have been a breach of community trust in some way, and I had acknowledged that as a mistake on my part and was severly moderated for it at the time.
My effort was not meant to be in some mailicaiously decieving way. It was an effort to prove a point which was, in hind sight, innappropraite if I expected to gain the love and respect of the community.
That Zen should bring it up again in this circumstance is far more inapporporaite in my thinking, but then again I have never been able to understand Zen's attitude toward me anyway.
Unless...... I am beginning to see that there is a great possibility that certain members here are using other usernames, which I assumed the mods should eb able to manage from their end. I have pointed to that in ther past here but got no response to it.
