Most of the conversation on this sub is vague posturing about knowing this or that, arguing about who's a liar/troll/jerk, about what things aren't zen and why, or straight up trolling and meta-trolling. Yes, I participate too, this isn't a complaint.
However, this is not a thread for that. No one's going to stop you, but please refrain. If you are sincere in participating in my request, I ask that you please ignore and do not respond to anyone who isn't playing along. Instead of flame-battling, let's try ignoring irrelevant comments.
There undoubtedly sincere seekers of the Way on this sub, and this thread is for us:
Who among us has found the Way (for lack of better language)? Do you know how to "practice"? What importance does this practice have in the overall scheme of your life? What value do you find in talking to others on this sub and elsewhere about it?
Who among us is searching for the Way? What do you know of it? What do you hope to accomplish? Where do you turn for advice?
Who among us has a genuine teacher providing guidance? Who would like a teacher (not offering)? How would you identify someone genuine?
Again, please refrain from enabling the trolls to derail conversation in this thread -- there are plenty of other venues for it.
For those who have the courage and sincerity to speak honestly, I thank you in advance for contributing something interesting to this sub, and possibly helping lurkers who don't want to get covered in the poop being flung about.
