Here and in whole world there are few peoples who are interested in K teaching.Is there any cooperation and affection in them?Do they feel like friends?Like good friends do they have sharing and openness?

Are they only related very superficially, at intellectual level only?

Personally I feel, if we don't care of each other, we are just wasting energy.

I don't know

Hi Dhi :-) yes do we like to share and listen to one another?
Do we feel same, do we not know so we can consider topics together, be together in considering them ?
Or is competition unevitable?

Ofcourse, yes. It takes just one wrong kind of post to start a war of acrimonious words. Throwing the first stone is what one should refrain from and things would certainly move more smoothly.

FLOW WITH LIFE!

It looks like it's inevitable, but for person who feel harmony with K teaching there must not be any competition.As recently Patricia said, K's findings are technical facts, even intellectual understandings is enough to show that all competitions are for strengthening of self.

Why to strengthen my-self?:)

Well, specially here we have sufficient time to understand the psychological reaction and then respond, so I don't think that here it is unavoidable.:)

Dhirendra, psychological reaction arise immediately as one is reading the inflammatory post. Right?

Now what role time will play in this? If time is required for understanding and dealing with the reaction, then all one is doing is the modifying/suppressing/diluting the initial reaction. Right?

Now only thing left is to decide the intensity of actual reaction in the reply. In real sense, is that important? Sooner or later the conflict is bound to escalate and come out in open.

You still feel that time will help here? Or Undestanding in this matter of resolving the psychological conflict is either immediate (the total ending of conflict) or one is going to explode immediately or will start playing a game wearing a mask. What do you feel?

FLOW WITH LIFE!

No, what is of significance is the state of mind of the person who is doing the pointing. Pointing can be done in the heat of emotional disturbance or after it has ended. If the ending is immediate, then it is one thing. If it has come over a period of time by intellectual discussion with oneself, then it is not very meaningful. If it is done with the right state of mind, it certainly bears fruit sooner or later. Our hearts have the ability to listen unconsciousely to what the other heart is saying.

We all have the ability of deceiving ourselves in this matter. I know and understand it well, Dhirendra. So don't ask me the next question, please.:)

Self is mask, no other mask matters, this is not question of wearing more masks, Sudhir, either you explode and kill some one with immediate reaction or you calm down and react with an intellectual friendship, you are wearing mask in both situation.But question is why am I here?Am I not here, after understanding K intellectually, to try to find out about living the teachings?If I am here for this, whys should I keep wasting energy on 'you' and 'me' which are very superficial tags.

For understanding the 'self', I have to put aside the superficial things, like 'your self' and 'my self' and have to understand it as a 'self'.:)

It you think you can care for or have affection for an internet persona, you're either deceiving yourself or you're insane. Whoever it is you think you're communicating with is just an image you've formed from the words they've typed. You can only have affection for actual human beings, so let's quit this nonsense of pretending to have affection for each other. This is the internet, fer crisake.

That division of 'you and me' is done by the self. It happens first within and then is projected/seen outside.
