: Steve,
:
: The only thing that thinks there is no
: problem with the conditioned mind is the
: conditioned mind.
:
: The conditioned mind is a straw dog. A
: mistaken case of identity good for nothing
: but burning within the light of awareness.
:
: There are many triggering agents where
: mystical insight is concerned. The
: conditioned mind would ban them all. Are you
: trying to ban me? Do my words.... bother
: you?
:
: Maybe it would be better if I let this
: sleeping straw dog lie.
:
: Nah! Kicking you in the middle of your
: rationalizations is good for both of us. You
: might wake up yet and I get to practice on
: the dead.
:
: Butcho
:
: --------------------------
:
: Socially conscious as I am, Butcho, I'm
: concerned with the ramifications of guys
: like you running around telling people
: there's something wrong with their minds.
: Something wrong with how their lives are
: playing out.
:
: One perceives 'mistaken identity' only when
: one lives in an essentially problematic
: universe. As you do, apparently.
:
: My universe is fine as is, thank you.
:
:
:
:
: Maybe the problem is simply in Oak Tree's
: head?
:
: Claiming to be 'unconditioned' is very much
: a symptomn of the 'conditioned' mind.
:
: How do i know this?
:
: Because i'm 'unconditioned'.
:
: The sheer irony of Oak Tree's dualistic
: worldview which divides up his precious
: 'oneness' into conditional/unconditional and
: awake/asleep, hasn't even been noticed by
: the Unconditioned One. Surely there's only
: 'one' mind Butch?
:
: And if he's still practicing after all this
: time, maybe he should stop practicing and
: start doing it properly?
:
Lian Dao,

I have never claimed to be 100% unconditioned. I am a work in progress. As are we all.
