Osuna is not for everyone. It is highly likely to be misinterpreted without spiritual guidance from a knowledgeable traditional priest.

Either insanity or the metaphysical reality. Reminds me of a line from Death Be Not Proud, "when poppy or charms can make us sleep as well". The problem with this dualism that masks as a monism is that we are told we have a soul more important than the body because it connects with God, perhaps more in the image of God. By projecting having a soul the game is afoot. It identifies something that can not be known and hence becomes subjective experience. It names what can not be named, going beyond experience to the noumena of Being Itself, much like the Sai Baba experience of realizing that in essence you are God. The only difference between you and Christ is that he knows he is God, you don't. So wise up. Rather I think the antithesis of having a soul, mind, or body is that I am a mind, body, soul. And if I let either one of those go in favor of the other I am suddenly in a world of unreality and smoke. Toke up, it will make you connect with God, REALLY. Also, a castle is a fortress for war. It is a wall with a mote. Now who is not for a wall?

You’ve not even mentioned Teresa in your comment or criticism, your ego is in your way my friend. You might be God, you might not, that is not the issue here

@@cliffdariff74 I don't know Teresa, do you? And the many ifs, ands, and buts, concerning what she might have meant and so forth is something I do not intend to join. If you start off with the premise of a disembodied soul then you can wonder beyond experience wherever it takes you. I do not see any evidence for a disembodied soul apart from the body. What is the surpressed premise behind a disembodied soul? Perhaps that you are god, but certainly not a god. For proof of that stand in front of a moving bus. Our knowledge is limited by experience.

This is good history talked, not to much about the woman

Hola Roberto. Cualquiera con una cultura media en España sabe que sta Teresa era descendiente de judios conversos. No se oculta. Lo que pasa es q en los medios se prefiere hablar de estupideces.
