(Edit: Sorry The cult part is coming up in the next message. Ran out of time and went ahead posted what I already wrote.)
As previously written, I intend to use a comparison between the so-called teachings of Gurdjieff and Krishnamurti to convey somewhat subtle material re my present understanding of the Middle Way School of Buddhism. This is the aim: To look at the teaching of the Prasangika Madhyamika School of Buddhism in a fresh way, a simple way. though it may not at first glance appear to be so simple to readers whose first language is not English, especially when I go into word comparisons (and I will try to help with that). This comparison is a good way to milk the cow/co of what I will call the discrepancy factor between the approaches of these eclectic individuals (or, imo, in K’s case, so called-individual). So what is the “co” (co-operation, co-dependent, co/n/tribution, co/re)?
Years ago I wrote a message here, “The Golden Cow. Cannot remember what I wrote; will look at it again, but, in short, the golden cow does not give milk. We will be discovering how to use everyday material in a new way. So, going sideways and/or even toward the center a bit, the discrepancy factor between Krishnamurti and Gurdjieff is in areas where their approaches do not correspond, and when we approach from this angle and hoe that ground (mixed metaphor as we are both farming and milking here:-), this can create an opportunity. Interesting to me, the areas where their paths in some way crossed can be seen as kind of just happening. Attributing meaning is not necessarily the same as making new and hopefully greater meaning, though this can be an aspect. Shit happens, but from the shit pile grows (can grow) a rose — this does imply a gardener. Let’s use this material, but then,does the meaning we make become a golden cow? There is a possibility to keep the living milk alive, even as we make various milk products. This possibility could be called the “whey, ” which by the way, is one form of nurturance along with bread the protagonist/hero carries with him on his quest in certain fairy tales.
