daily dharma (‘some of the dharma’ pages 15-17)

Posted on October 14, 2005 by Marcus

Sometimes I get nothing or very little. Are raving lunatics locked away in insane asylums actually closer to true self realization than people like you or I on the outside who keep quiet about what we believe? What if they claim to be Jesus Christ?

About Marcus

Who me? Introverted, neurotic, self-absorbed, increasingly cynical observer of human nature and part time social critic in hiding. Most of my life spent avoiding growing up. The naive idealistic passions of youth have evolved into the eclectic eccentricities of adulthood. Northeast Florida small-town native, related to people I can't relate to. Simultaneously my own best friend and worst enemy. Politically and spiritually unaffiliated, my personal ideologies put me all over the map or off it completely.

    You know that whole Jesus thing is something I ask myself often. Would I believe someone if they said they were or would I think they were a looney bird? I must admit that I don’t think I would believe them, it would probably take a miracle or two or three… I guess I would be a doubting Thomas…

    Sorry, nothing of substance to post, just wanted to try to get that line out of my head, after your last question put it there. 🙂

    I don’t know where I got this but its true:
    “Why is it when we talk to God, we call it ‘praying’ but when God talks to us, we call it ‘schizophrenia’
