Au contraire, it is your 'beliefs' that are threatened [hence your mammoth, and no doubt valid in their own way, discourses], .....

To that i'd say that some of what Messers Parsons and Krishnamurti have to say falls into the category of personal belief. ie, Sometimes they don't reflect reality.
You've concluded that i write here because i am 'threatened'. I'm not the one asking and wishing for you to go somewhere else. You and some others are threatened and are trying to censor me.
On page one of this thread Anchor scolded me for being too brief and you are doing the same for being too long winded.
If either of you have a problem with my word count, just skip over my posts. But i don't think that's the real concern. The problem is that i have dissagreed with 'icons'.

The mind is a container for spirit. That means thought is not always dead. New ideas inspired by spirit can expand the mind and fill it to overflowing. Even so, the spiritual-Self can focus the mind on the past if there is a reason for it. It happens in the now. You know how you can turn your mind to the past? So can spirit.

You've expressed a few beliefs just now about what 'beliefs' are. You've presented a line of logic that you believe represents reality and truth.

I have listened to Tony and read some of his website. You've opened a thread praising him and Jiddhu 'K' and that's ok. No need for me to open another 'TP' thread unless you don't want to talk about his perspective. We are on a discussion board and you'd be aware that in a place like this no-one has a monopoly franchise on the truth. Not you, me, Jiddhu K or TP. We exchange views and then we leave it to each other as to what reflects truth.
