TWO MONKS IN A TUB

[NillyTales]

How is that so wrong?

Ok...I have no reason to doubt that you guys aren't a romatic couple. You've never lied to me before right? I don't object to your lifestyle. If you were homosexual then I would have more to say. It's too bad the general population is 'uptight' about stuff like this. Myself included. To be able to just hang out with your buddy in a tub and not have any sexual agenda would be pretty cool. All the best to you guys.

what. the. fuck.

I have no doubt that the police officials who

read my work see me as a total psychotic, AND I ADMIT THAT I HAVE BEEN, SINCE MUCH OF WHAT I

HAVE WRITTEN IS TOTAL SHIT OF WHICH I READILY

AND PAINFULLY ADMIT, but, and I will say it again, the difference is that YES I AGREE, AND ALSO THE DIFFERENCE IS HONESTY WITH ONESELF . . . there is not any violence or

threats of any kind directed to anyone nor to myself, nor am I gravely disabled.

[Shiemash51]

It is a fact that there exists a property,

which is inherent in every ordinary man, to whichever class he may belong and

whatever his age, that, whenever he thinks about something concrete outside himself, then his muscles instantly strain, that is

to say vibrate, in the direction taken by his

thoughts, and I have discovered from

experience that such muscular

"magnetic tension" is real. I will then

harmlessly and silently sit until that tension

passes unto liberation.

[Shiemash51]

In reality, what we are speaking of are the "involuntary manifestations" of neurosis and, as Gurdjieff said, it is involuntary manifestations that are the true cause of so-called "evil" in the world. Negative involuntary manifestations for most people are those associated with anger, resentment and hostility.

[Shiemash51]

All violence has its roots in not understanding one another. When a man acts

through violence, he acts without understanding. A man is not his size, his money, position, birth, strength, or his prestige, reputation, or distinctions,

or his religion. A man is his understanding.

A saying which is known throughout Persia:

"LET GOD KILL HIM WHO HIMSELF DOES NOT KNOW

AND YET PRESUMES TO SHOW OTHERS THE WAY

TO THE DOORS OF HIS KINGDOM"
