Letting it lose can pollute the atmosphere sooner or later as people are under the influence of negativity.
There the object and subject are one the knower, the known and the knowledge become one. I recommend Adyashanti highly as a teacher because he's reality based, tradition-independent, speaks solely from experience, and demonstrates that enlightenment and normal life are not mutually exclusive - but fully complementary, when fully integrated. Letting it lose can pollute the atmosphere sooner or later as people are under the influence of negativity. Instead, he continuously harangues me in my Amazon book reviews, and now has extended his agenda to my blog. Please pay attention that we are not responsible for the authenticity and legality of the torrent files.

Whenever he deletes all his comments here he selects a new name. Then you say the mind is unreal. It should give us an experience of very deep state of silence. Moreover, saints and sages still think and use their minds to give talks and write books.
In fact, the Hindu Kashmir Shaivism tradition teaches that the more intense and violent the energy, the closer one is to en-Light-enment. I paused as I was to go and purchase lunch.
