The general idea is that wanderer's special abilities make them more prone to 'suffering' than most people here (oh, are you an 'empath') regardless of it's pathological underpinnings. And so the coddling, indulgence, and ego support through story telling. Which, if it is to be effective, must and will be projected onto our current circumstances or our potential circumstances.(12-29-2012, 05:20 PM)zenmaster Wrote:(12-29-2012, 05:01 PM)Tenet Nosce Wrote:Seems like the general presumption of the wanderers, who are, as a whole, no more diligent in their responsibilities than the natives.

I would say it is more akin to the gunshot going off, and the sprinter bitching and moaning because they still actually have to run the race rather than having a medal awarded to them for simply making it to the starting line.
Who are you referring to, zen? Those 'upset' with the lack of an abrupt event?

Would it even be possible for any kind of spiritual growth to occur apart from the noticing and balancing of distortions?You'd think so. But then there is the appeal to regressive, non-developmental, modes of thought, such as going back to the 'ground of being' as espoused by Tolle and others. Where everyone seems to want to bask in what they refer to as the 'present' while, ironically, simultaneously complaining about unchanging conditions and projecting hopes onto the future which (as Tolle points out) does not exist.
