Growth!

Honestly, you guys aren't even trying if you think we're just going to let this slide without some serious consequences 😁

It’s just like how R. called out that student who folded and hid the second they started attacking the guru—asking why he didn't step up and fight back instead of acting like such a coward.. 😎

Burn it all down, let's see them face the music 😈

Sophia Jones61 said:Godfather, Mano, I wouldn't even get angry. Even if this behavior is blatantly rude, it seems to me he’s just undergoing that process our Uncle calls "acting out."

It is the practice of dragging things that should be considered "sacred," special, or sublime down to the level of a common curse word—purely as a way to release lifelong psychological shackles from the mind.

The opposite would be a total mental (religious) breakdown, so this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Look at those few brainwashed fundamentalists out there. If they had ever cracked a joke or understood the humor in the Bible, they wouldn't be staring at every church painting feeling like they're suffering, bleeding, or weeping.

Swamidji would probably respond to him like his respected teacher would: tell him to insult us as much as he wants, and not to stop until he finally feels better. 😉

Deep down, you know he doesn't mean any harm; it just bothers us because we have different experiences. But still, he has the right to offend. That is simply how the world works.

This is just his version of therapy, and for us, it's an opportunity to observe how we view our Teacher. Surely a few swear words won't ruin us. 😉

And Godfather, Karen Sanchez19, I kindly ask you to respect the sensitive feelings of godfathers Mano and FW and stop picking through that keyboard so selectively... 😁

...otherwise, we’ll knock some sense into him and shove his non-violence straight down his throat. 😈

😁

There's my two cents. 😎

So, does this mean you attack anyone who says anything against Swamidji?
Even the Bad Boys don't always act like that.🤣

Sophia Jones61 said:They actually banned us from 🤣 🤣 🤣

That’s what happens when you try too hard to be politically correct, "nice," and cultured all at once... 😁

Take a page out of Anandamargia's book—arm yourselves so nobody dares to mess with you. 😈 🤣

Take a page out of Anandamargi's book—arm yourselves so nobody even thinks about testing you. 😈 🤣

Remember that story where a group of guys drove a bus straight into some HK ashram just to stir the pot, and the residents actually started defending themselves?
They absolutely wrecked them—bus and all—and I heard they even pulled some small firearms from under the beds. 😁

I'm out. 👋

Catch you guys after my tour on Wednesday.

If you're brave enough to swing by Umag, hit me up. 😁

Sophia Jones61 said:Do you remember that story where a group of guys drove a bus straight into an HK ashram just to mess with them, and then things actually got real?
They absolutely wrecked them—the bus, everything—and apparently, some small guns even started popping out from under the beds. 😁

Man, I'm out. 👋

Catch you all after my tour on Wednesday.

If you're brave enough to swing by Umag, let me know. 😁

Aaaah, so you're heading off to lectures and stuff... aren't you staying in Umag?

I guess I better start working up the nerve :shakingwithfear: 😁

So, is Swamidji actually heading to Umag?

Balkanijan Pimp said:😛

The worst part... hmm 🤔

Joining a cult? 😈 🤣

Meeting Elvis Presley? 😲

I got it! Instead of chanting hymns, they just blast Severina on loop 😲

Man, you skeptics... I know a guy who was called by the guru, and he turned around and broke his toe. 😁

Right in the middle of the desert. 🤣

So yeah, don't mess around 😈

Karen Sanchez19 said:What's supposed to be funny?

So what exactly is happening in Miami and what's the deal?🙄

Look, if you want to repeat those charming little insults right to my face, go ahead. 😈

Let me know if you're actually showing up, so I can lace up my sneakers. 😈

😁

Anyway, here:

Mano said:just slap that idiot since he didn't hand it over to me...

🙄

Karen Sanchez19, you really just poked a massive, world-sized cow 🤣 😁

So, a coworker of mine—who’s actually a member of JUSZH—was telling me this wild story about the time they were transporting some of Spamijijev's books. Apparently, because it was pouring rain, someone made the mistake of opening one of the books and resting it face-down on top of the pile. People there absolutely lost their minds 😲 just because His 🙏 image was right there on the cover, and they felt it was pure blasphemy to let the rain fall on the face of the "guru" 😁

Man, life is weird... 🙄

If you happen to be running backward at a speed of Vtrč inside a streetcar that is moving forward at a velocity of Vtram, and if by some chance Vtram equals Vtrč, aren't you effectively standing perfectly still while simultaneously working up a massive sweat?

So, my advice is simple: just hop off the streetcar and grab a bicycle
Actually, forget the bike too. Just go for a walk—and do it against the wind.

Sophia Jones61 said:To flirt is essentially 🙂

To engage in flirting is 🙂

Just those few drops that still feel their own skin, yet remain completely unaware that they are drifting through a vast ocean alongside all the other drops😉

Why get so defensive right out of the gate?🙄

😁

Forgive me, I’m not entirely fluent in this modern American slang, and I only skimmed through it. It’s all fine.
But what exactly is this "skin" supposed to divide? What lies on one side of the membrane, and what lies on the other?

electricdrifter68 said:Sorry, I'm not really fluent in American slang, and I just skimmed this quickly. Everything makes sense so far.
But what exactly is this membrane dividing? What’s on one side versus the other?

Hey there, electricdrifter68! 😉

You hit the nail on the head. What membrane? There isn't one. 😉

electricdrifter68 said:I'm a little out of the loop here—who's attacking Karen Sanchez19 and what's the deal?

Mano threatened Karen Sanchez19 because she totally disrespected Swamidji's name. Mano is a huge fan of everything that gentleman stands for.

Karen Sanchez19 said:What exactly is supposed to be funny here?

So, what kind of event is actually happening in a place like Miami, if anything at all?🙄

Don't you worry about it; there isn't anything special you're going to miss, is there? Nothing quite as monumental as today's beautiful weather or the rain we're expecting tonight.

electricdrifter68 said:Don't sweat it; you aren't missing much. Nothing more exciting than today's sunshine or tonight's inevitable rain.

Heh, heh. 😁

Jason Johnson4 said:PS. A coworker of mine (who’s a member of JUSZH) was telling me about this time they were moving some of Spamijijev's books.

What a joke... 🙄

I think your coworker might have a bit too much of an imagination, but whatever you say.
🤣
I mean, what kind of idiot tries to use a book as an umbrella? 🤣
Real blasphemy would be ruining the book; I doubt the Guru cares one bit about a little rain on a picture 😁

creative said:Hey there, teos! 😉

You hit the nail on the head. What "out" are we talking about? There isn't one. 😉

Do you have a boyfriend? Friends, both the ride-or-die kind and the fair-weather kind? Bitter enemies? Anything?
If so, then an "out" still exists for you (and for me, obviously).
And if you see one, then it’s as real as it gets.

But honestly, I feel like this conversation is just going in circles.

Grizli knows exactly what I meant. 😉

teos said:Don't sweat it, you aren't missing much. Nothing more exciting than today's sunshine or tonight's rain.

🙄 Clear some space on your shelf, because I'm pretty sure you're about to win a Nobel Prize for logic.🙄

teos said:Sorry, my grasp on American slang is a bit shaky and I just skimmed this. Everything seems fine.
But what exactly does that membrane divide? What's happening on one side versus the other?

So, what's your take on it?
