Er, for the record, I don't think I'm liek ttly enlightened and shit; I just find it cathartic to put down in words what I experience. Like, if I can go, "I am irritated because of this and this", can say I'm irritated and pinpoint the fact that I'm totally dwelling on stupid crap that bugs me and maybe provide catharsis for other people who aren't bugged by stupid crap but have experienced similar things. Or something.

In other news SWEET AMALOKITESHVARA reading Dogen's stuff makes my brain do this insane twisty thing.

Just about every Teacher (with a capital T!) has said the same thing about people and behaviour and etc., but we collectively Just Don't Get It so the great ineffable Something keeps having to send in more Teachers. Why are we dumb, dude. XD; And why do so many Teachers have followers who don't get it, and why do we latch onto those dudes instead of realising their stuff is mostly bells and whistles. It's like dumping jimmies/sprinkles onto gourmet vanilla ice cream.

Or something.

Jeez, I want ice cream now!

In other news I am proud of myself for being able to do full lotus position without yanking my feet around, HAHAHAAA.

Yes.

I think, in the end, it boils down to this: there's intelligence, and there's the ability to repeat back things one has memorized.

I think most teachers are the latter.

Yeah. They're the lowercase-t kind. The uppercase-T kind are like Buddha and Co.

Lowercase-t teachers are a dime a dozen; they're the wannabe iconoclasts who think they know EXAAACTLY what every prophet anywhere meant ever and blah
