Re: Tantric Tantrum

"Once a man asked a psychiatrist, “In simple everyday terms, without any of that scientific jargon, what is the difference between a psychotic and a neurotic?”
“Well”, said the psychiatrist after thinking a moment, “You could put it this way: A psychotic thinks that 2 + 2 = 5. The neurotic knows perfectly well that 2 + 2 = 4, but it worries the hell out of him.”

"[Of the types of people in the world, the psychotic thinks he has arrived.
He thinks he has got the conclusions.] He is the dogmatic person. He says only my religion is the true religion. He only says that my god is the true god. He is absolutely certain. He is very dangerous. His certainty is not because of his experience. His certainty is because deep down he is very much uncertain, in deep conflict, turmoil.

How to avoid it?
He clings to a conclusion. He will not listen to anything that goes against his ideology. He may be a communist or a Catholic or a Hindu or a Jaina, it makes no difference.

But the psychotic person has already arrived. He has conclusions. He is no more growing. He is no more learning. He’s no more listening. He lives out of his conclusions. He, of course, misses the life because life is a process. There is no conclusion to it.

Life is always in the middle. There is no beginning and no end to it. And life is tremendously vast. All dogmas can have a certain truth about them, but no dogma is the truth—cannot be. Life is so big that no dogma can comprehend it in its totality. So, a really intelligent person is hesitant. He is never dogmatic. He’s ready to learn, ready to listen…."

You have said:
"Society is filled with criminals, psychopaths, perverts, drunks, addicts, divorcees, suicide victim's victims, atheists, adulterers, fornicators, aborteresses, murderers, rapists, politicians, sodomites, feminists and cannibals; The result of godless mating practices."

... you forgot to look in the mirror and to, then, include the 'hypocrites' and the 'moralists'.

The moralists and hypocrites are sitting too high on the alter thinking themselves so much "holier than thou", too busy pointing their finger at others to notice that they have three of their own pointing back at themselves.

If you have really found yourself, then you would have been one to pull himself out of the same mud that you say the others are in. Knowing how lost the others really are, you would be in the best position of all to understand how one gets so lost. There would be compassion in the words you would use.

But there is none.
Instead it is obvious that you are more lost than the criminals, psychopaths, perverts, drunks, addicts, divorcees, suicide victim's victims, atheists, adulterers, fornicators, aborteresses, murderers, rapists, politicians, sodomites, feminists and cannibals that you have listed. At least they are not pretending.

They are more real than you. More authentically themselves that you are to yourself. Because you are pretending to have answers. And all too ready to vomit your ugly condemnations onto the other lost souls of this earth.
You're of the type that is more pathetic than anybody. You make this world more ugly than anybody else.

May you someday find your original face.
