I'm not sure, master, where you got the idea that none of his students awakened during his lifetime. I guess maybe you read some statistics somewhere, or perhaps you're just using those psychic abilities of yours—the same ones you used to decide that dusˇan is an addict?

placidharbor7 gave you a polite response over at the Great School of Enlightenment.🙂

Richard Walker79 said:I honestly thought that banning you would have cooled your heels a bit, but you're proving to be even more stubborn than ever!
If you weren't such a nuisance, you wouldn't be lecturing me! You’ve spent your time attacking and insulting Muslims and spitting on every single person you talk to.

placidharbor7 is just trying to protect his back from that unpredictable nature of yours. One day you’re praising Allah, and the next, you've completely changed your tune, Dusanko. Yesterday, Christ was your role model, but by tomorrow, you'll be casting him aside. It's impossible to tell when you'll end up biting both him and yourself!

That is exactly right, master. You can't just go around banning people! You have to actually get to know me first before you start handing out judgments. Besides, if you don't even understand yourself, how on earth do you expect to understand anyone else?
Not long ago, you were hailing me as a master of my own craft, praising my progress and practically bowing to my achievements. Now, suddenly, you're labeling that very same growth as "deviousness." It’s quite clear what's happening here: you're simply projecting your own twisted nature onto me!

Do you see what true mastery looks like now? It’s when a Zen master like Richard Walker79 casts aside mere technique just to bruise your ego. I did that on purpose—to strike right at your pride. If you were truly enlightened, or had even reached a state of samadhi, you certainly wouldn't have reacted that way!

You still haven't grasped the fundamental language of the biological collective. You simply cannot build a phlegmatic temperament on a foundation of narcotics. That is exactly how Osho met his end.

What kind of narcotic are you referring to?

You’re going to need some serious medical addresses very soon—like, hospital-level help. It's almost inevitable at this point. The whole thing is being run by those Osho followers.
Check out this site: http://www.humaniversity.us/Framesets/home_frameset.htm

I don't touch any narcotics myself. That said, I don't see anything wrong with using them if a person has their reasons or finds value in the experience!
I see that you have a real problem with Zen master Osho, but honestly, the arguments you're throwing out against him are just incredibly childish and lack any real intelligence.

Don't go acting like some poor victim here; nobody actually stripped you of your title. It's just that you've proven you aren't capable of carrying it anymore.
Being a MASTER means taking responsibility for yourself, Richard Walker79.

Sure, intoxicants can trigger a peak experience, but that kind of insight is here today and gone tomorrow. That's exactly why you're running away from placidharbor7.

Grab a broom and head over to the Netherlands—the Master already sent you the address. Once you finally break the habit of sabotaging yourself, you'll realize just how massive a step the MASTERS took toward you, trying to pull you out of the gutter.

Until you've cleaned yourself up, there's nothing left to talk about, Richard Walker79.

driftingraven122 said:So, you're saying Dušan imagined Unity and now he's just... processing that?
Sorry, I don't follow. 🤷

Alright, "Master"—how exactly did you realize that 'everything is already here'? Where did that insight come from, or should we call it enlightenment? If you've woken up to the idea that there is no Truth, then isn't your realization itself the Truth?

No, he didn't just make it up; he actually stumbled upon it while using substances. And that creates two major struggles:

First off, that realization is incredibly flighty and elusive—one minute it’s there, and the next, it’s gone. That’s what’s causing him extra grief.

Second, he formed a CONSPIRACY around how things end and where they settle. Maintaining this whole mental construct requires a constant reliance on substances. The man needs help.

You can find placidharbor7's EMPIRICAL conversational phase over in the "Iron Glove Challenge, Seeker of Truth" thread.

It is high time for a master to respond to the extremely obtuse like this:

Realization, non-realization... placidharbor7 is only here because you are all interfering with him, and that is the end of it. Whether he knows more than you is completely irrelevant. You are all just flocking to him based on your own private vibes and needs. You have no idea what is actually happening to you, and honestly? It's perfectly fine that way.🙂

Here is a link to Dolano, a radical Zen master and a student of Osho. Maybe listen to her for a bit and decide for yourself what you think of her energy. People say she's enlightened, and she says she is, too. There are others out there. She isn't the only one...

The thing is, these are all "enlightened" people who came along later; they mean well, sure, but still.
I'd bet my life that not a single one of them actually lived it the way Osho did.😢

Richard Walker79 said:This is spiritual evolution, something you clearly know nothing about!
Whether it is Allah, Master John, Jesus, or even Osho, there are gems to be found alongside plenty of nonsense.
Even an enlightened person can ride a horse and break their legs; being enlightened doesn't turn someone into a Superman—they are still just regular people.

Osho didn't produce any masters and spent his time rambling about narcotics; it’s hardly surprising you find him influential.

Osho isn't a Zen master like Master John, so he isn't out there creating clones. You don't really grasp the concept of individuality, do you?

And besides, drugs are banned for most people, but free spirits do whatever they please. You haven't truly realized Osho because you simply don't value freedom and individuality in a person.🙂

Stop disrespecting Master Tanzan! You swallowed your own delusions just as you did with Allah and Christ during your eternally snoring "present moments."

So, what exactly bothers you about my "delusions," you Banned Master?
😁 Or have you suddenly decided that Richard Walker79 holds the truth?
Keep going, Master! Everything is in constant motion, including spiritual growth. Don't you dare stop now!

Where on earth did you get the idea that an AWAKENED soul would be bothered by your constant fidgeting, man?

placidharbor7 is simply watching his back against the slippery, fickle nature of your personality. One day Allah isn't good enough for you, and the next, suddenly He is, Dusanko. Yesterday Christ was your role model, and tomorrow He might be your target for criticism. You never know when you'll end up biting both him and yourself!

Honestly, you haven't even grasped the biological collective language yet. You can't build true phlegmatic stability on a foundation of intoxication. That’s exactly how Osho ended up.

Here, let me give you a solid lead, you addict. You’re probably going to need it soon. Osho's followers are the ones running this show.

driftingwolf45 said:Are you seriously snooping through my profile? I guess you don't have much going on now that your dad got banned, so you're just wandering around looking for a new "role model." Or maybe you're just playing daddy while he's gone?

Look, instead of wasting your time scrolling through my profile, maybe go find some children's books that actually match your level. Just beat it, kid.

The polite response from Master Ivanov will be delivered to you at the Great School of Enlightenment, driftingwolf45. Don't be lazy!🙂

driftingraven122 said:I suppose—if one could even call it that—one might attempt to find some semblance of meaning here. Or perhaps not. It’s all rather trivial, I guess.

That’s likely because I’m not God—I guess. 😁

Splendid. And what, then, exactly, constitutes Unity?
If truth doesn't exist—not that I'm saying it doesn't—then why is it that nobody seems to grasp the concept of Unity? I guess it's just a thought.

Of course Unity is just a mental construct.
That’s exactly why Grandmaster Dušan is essentially acting like God himself. He hasn't even settled down yet!

The "problem" doesn't lie within the Truth, nor does it live in any kind of lofty, high-minded pretension.

No, the issue lies within the intellect itself—it's like a desperate rebel constantly trying to outrun its own shadow.

Honestly, every attempt at spiritual "sublimity" is nothing more than an ultra-refined mental mess.

Everything is already right here in front of us, crazy kid. Honestly, placidharbor7 is absolutely fed up watching you babble on day and night about "Buddhism."

Either you're all kidding yourselves, or you're dealing with someone who truly loves calling himself a Master.🙂

driftingraven122 said:I'm not getting involved in Unity. But—is it really wise to go around telling people I am God? Especially on an American forum, I suppose.

I don't see anything convoluted. 😁

I don't think I follow the question. 😬

Fine then, why don't you just stay humble and play the part of the good little child in God's Nursery?

No, no—you just haven't grasped the absolute simplicity of Zen yet!

There is no such thing as Truth, get it now?
🙂

driftingraven122 said:Well—I guess the best way to deal with those worldly highs is to just dig into this supposed "SELF" and realize there isn't actually anything there? You know—no rider behind the reins.

Just look at Richard Walker79—he immediately thinks, I AM GOD. 🙄

The Emperor has already run through all the maneuvers that lead to enlightenment.

He became enlightenment itself, so there's no room for identification.

That isn't really Dušan's fault; it's just the natural byproduct of realizing Unity.

This conversation is getting incredibly tangled—it's definitely not Zen.

But if there isn't even enlightenment, then what exactly is left?

driftingraven122 said:Because enlightenment is essentially a wild stallion. If you think you can actually mount it, you’re going to end up breaking some legs. If you decide you don't need it and try to push it away, you're basically insulting the Emperor—since you can't exactly turn your back on the Emperor. And if you imagine you have a horse when you really don't... well... 🤷

That's why Buddha was a horse without a rider.

Or rather... WHO is this person supposedly riding the horse? 😛 😬

Brother Grim doesn't have anything to look for in Zen, driftingraven122.
Complex little stories like that belong to the realm of organized religion.

What this person is trying to tell you is that true enlightenment means letting go of all those worldly highs.

Just be careful; when the Emperor grants a gift—kind of like receiving an Oscar - Award.
The guy starts glowing—ENLIGHTENED or UNENLIGHTENED—feeling pampered and honored. His heart swells up like a hippo's, screaming with pure ecstasy—which is really just IDENTIFICATION.

And that is exactly why he hits the wall SO HARD. He has to finally realize how messy all this IDENTIFICATION really is.

driftingraven122 said:So why does the story start with "On the day of his enlightenment..."? That would imply he wasn't enlightened yesterday.

If he was already enlightened—supposedly—then why did he go riding and end up breaking his legs?

Look, we're talking about a bit of storytelling here—it's fine for the main character to have been enlightened already.

Just leave that specific detail out, and there’s no problem at all—though, of course, finding the actual point of the story might get a little tricky.

And honestly, what kind of irrelevant question is this—"If he was already enlightened, why did he ride a horse and break his legs?"

That's really not how a "Master Candidate" of the V.S.P.Z.S. should be acting, is it?

Richard Walker79 said:Master Ivanna, why have you halted mid-stride,
when the finish line is still ahead of you? 😁

If you aim too hard, you just end up breaking your own feet.

driftingraven122 said:So why does the story start with "On the day of his enlightenment..."? That would imply he wasn't enlightened yesterday.

If he was already enlightened—supposedly—then why did he go riding and end up breaking his legs?

And who in their right mind are you even trying to explain this to—"someone else who actually uses their brain"?

Richard Walker79 said:placidharbor7, there is absolutely no need to explain things to someone who already possesses their own mind. This isn't some holy scripture meant to be preached in a cathedral or a mosque.

Zen isn't a religion—it's pure wisdom,
where a person simply casts aside their own foolishness. 👋

It looks like life has given you plenty of bites from vipers, Richard Walker79, because now you're even getting tripped up by pebbles!

In Zen, nothing is more precious than a living teacher. In fact, nothing else even matters when it comes to Zen teaching.

Posting other people's wise anecdotes here and just slapping the label "ZEN" on them is honestly a bit insulting, don't you think?

True ZEN is found in how Master Dragonfly and Enchantress converse with their "students," and how Master Klimakos and Gristi lead, along with the humble presence of placidharbor7.

If there is nothing left to interpret—since everyone "possesses a mind," as you put it—then what exactly are you doing here?
Are you planning to spend your time taping posters to walls and putting together a spiritual newsletter?

It sounds like you'll need quite a bit more time before you actually EMBRACE what you've so cleverly hinted at, Richard Walker79.

driftingraven122 said:😁

@Richard Walker79, the Zen story is right here—so, where is the teacher's commentary?

The teacher's commentary is this:

PURE JOY—OR TOTAL MADNESS, OR RATHER...

THE REALIZATION THAT INNER RADIANCE IS WHAT FUELS OUTER ENTHUSIASM.

Richard Walker79 said:It has been over a year since I first launched this thread. Since then, my spiritual journey has been in constant motion; new insights have arrived, followed closely by my own personal breakthroughs. Sandra Palmer10 was an old nickname of mine that I decided to leave in the past. Now, I am using my real name: Richard Walker79.

I have been exploring spirituality for as long as I can remember. My earliest memory goes back to when I was five years old, walking down a sun-drenched street and asking myself: WHO AM I?
The answer from my higher consciousness was simple: I AM GOD.

I never told anyone back then, because obviously, people would have thought I was insane. I kept it tucked away inside because I wasn't yet capable of manifesting that truth. But right now, in this very moment, I can tell you that I am not just God—you are all GODS too. Everything is God.

I have decided to share these realizations with others, even though many won't understand them, and it will be even harder for them to live them out. But that doesn't matter; I don't always need a reason to act.

This thread was designed to be the complete opposite of Ivanov School, where everyone thinks exactly the same and repeats ideas like parrots.

My intention here isn't to persuade anyone or to argue about who is right and who is wrong. I envisioned this as a space where we could share knowledge, insights, and wisdom—perhaps even debate—while avoiding the toxic arguments and insults that seem to plague Ivanov School.

I truly hope this thread won't clog up the forum servers with endless small talk or circular debates. I kindly ask the moderators to treat this like any other topic and please refrain from closing it...

Warmest wishes and congratulations, Richard Walker79?🙂

Joseph Ramos11 said:To see the black, you have to know white. To realize there is neither black nor white, you first have to recognize that both exist...

But what is it exactly that triggers that "eye" of yours to recognize both colors in the first place?

Joseph Ramos11 said:It isn't just an ego trip, it's honestly just nonsense. You *are* the ego. You are the sum of everything you've experienced and believed, so how can you be separate from it enough to destroy it? It's kind of funny... you're talking about destroying the very thing you are, lol. Everything you think defines you—all those expectations and manifestations—it's all part of it. Trying to "destroy" the ego feels pretty silly to me. Real progress is more about using spiritual alchemy to reach actual insight and understanding. Anything else is just New Age fluff...

Go on, expand on that, Joseph Ramos11; what exactly triggers and drives this whole "spiritual alchemy" process?

And why on earth would you call basic human growth "alchemy"?
That sounds like just another way to dress up "spirituality" to make it sound more profound than it actually is.

Joseph Ramos11 said:Well, spirituality is essentially a form of psychology, just with one major twist. Psychology usually tries to take someone who deviates from social norms and molds them into someone who fits perfectly into society. Spirituality works the opposite way. Even for someone who is perfectly adjusted to society, spirituality might view that state as "unhealthy" and strives to transcend it—aiming for that higher state of being, whether you call it becoming an enlightened sage, reaching satori, or finding oneness with the Tao... whatever you want to call it.

In my view, spirituality is really just a fancy, decorative door to dualism.

Because of that, it isn't something self-sustaining, nor is it something you can truly possess.

Only the pure essence remains.

shadowgardener12 said:Now we're getting somewhere. I can see you're actually trying. You could probably sell that to some clueless amateurs if you wanted to. 😁 👍
Anyway, looks like you went ahead and posted a new topic under that "Solar Wheel" name.

Try forming a coherent thought without needing an audience, Jimmy.
It seems like you constantly lose the actual point whenever there's someone else watching.

Why not try taking placidharbor7's advice? Maybe then you'll realize what kind of mental trap you've wandered into.🙂
