When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once. Milarepa “Just as it is known t hat an image of one's face is seen d epending on a mirror b ut does not really exist as a face, s o the conception of "I" exist d ependent on mind and body, b ut like the image of a face t he "I" does not at all exist as its own reality." Nagarjuna "Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Nagarjuna
Les,
ReplyDeleteWhy are you playing a seven part series on radical Islam? Anyone who would follow your blog in the first place knows all about radical Islam. Yes. It's terrible. We know. We know. It is not an existential threat to all humanity, let alone America. It's just the most annoying of the three great monotheistic faiths.

ReplyDeleteSorry, did I read that correctly? I fear your words have just struck me stupid. I am even now losing IQ points just be re-reading such nonsense.
JMJ - Posting precisely because there are those like you you who haven;t a clue.
ReplyDeleteHopefully some will change their mind and realize the extreme threat it presents to our republic and democracies around the world.
