Johannes Bugenhagen:
What about Tarin? Did he practice HAIETMOBA?
yes... assiduously. i wouldn't recommend it to others otherwise.

on another note though:
as, of the 10 posts you've written to the dho actualism/actual freedom forum so far, all have been dedicated to speculative debate and ad hominem abuse (even going so far as to selectively copy-paste ad hominem abuse previously dished out elsewhere by others), and nowhere in them have you made any mention of your own practice or what results it has brought you, it might be appropriate for me (as a moderator here) to now ask: why are you posting on this forum, 'johannes'? what is your purpose? what do you intend to accomplish?
or, more specifically
[1]:
Daniel M. Ingram:
this is a site about practice and positive results and friends helping each other do to that ... do you have that is positive, productive, leads to beneficial results, transforms consciousness in some beneficial way, and would be practical, able to be practiced, and is reproducible that you yourself can verify because you have done it, beyond simply delight in the role of the diligent and pernicious skeptic, which clearly compels you to write post after post after post?
What have you got that is of value beyond this that relates to hardcore meditation and consciousness transformation and deep insight and what freedoms can be had?
as it is stated in the very first paragraph on this site's front page
[2]:
The Dharma Overground is a ... place where everything related to the support of practice may flourish, including where to go on retreats, what techniques may lead to what, an in depth look at the maps of possible states and stages, discussions about how to determine what experience was what, and in general anything that has to do with actually practicing rather than what typically occurs in standard meditation circles.
...please keep your contributions in accordance with the dho site guidelines.
the
yahoo 'actualist freedom' group/mailing list, on the other hand, has no such guidelines and so would be a better place to explore the non-practice-related issues you've brought up. if you would like to carry on with these discussions, please take them there.
