| Thursday, the 24th of April, 2008 "The Pseudo-intellectual Side-step" |
Hey kids, there’s a new dance step. It’s called the Pseudo-
intellectual Side-step and with it you can avoid doing
anything you fear or find distasteful, while appearing wise,
sincere and spiritual, to the truly dim-witted.

Of course this begs the question, “Hey, what's more
important to you: what you are or what you appear to be?” If
you are more concerned with the opinion of the slack-jaw,
gap-toothed, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragers that we call
the mass of humanity, then the Pseudo-intellectual Side-
step could be for you.

Or, you could hit the Breaks and reevaluate the cost of
dealing with attachment, the Buddha’s way. Does it really
have to create fear, drudgery, pain and loss? We’ll explore
that tomorrow.
Oops, with only 6 days left to order your copy of my CD
revealing the secrets of the “Centering Questions” at it’s
reduced price, I guess I should remind you that you’ll learn:
• why affirmations can NOT work
• how properly worded questions could do the job quite nicely
• and the folly of striving to force our dynamically creative mind
to stay still.
One of the beautiful things about this CD is that it’s instructions are
easy to follow so you'll increase your meditation skills, so you’ll
experience more peace, so you’ll have even greater joy. What are
some of the ways that increasing your peace could improve your life?

But how do you perform this tragic time-waster? Easy!
FIRST: identify what it is that you don’t want to do. For
instance, some folks dread the thought of abandoning their
attachments. They sincerely feel that it would involve far too
much effort, pain, fear and loss.
SECOND: figure out how you wish to be perceived. Many
feel it is more important to be perceived as wise, sincere
and enthusiastic {yet careful} than to actually possess those
qualities.
THIRD: contrive a rouse to convince others {and perhaps
even yourself} that you possess those attributes, without
taking any spiritually productive action. Hey, what you could
do, is go to a Buddhist chat room and ask questions that
could make you sound wise, sincere and enthusiastic {yet
careful} but that in reality fail to call you {or anyone else} to the
specific action required to actually apply Buddha’s teachings.
FOURTH: wallow in the respect of the fools who’s opinion
you so value.
