Create your own viruses (thoughts)

When you have Chicken Pox, your face reddens, you have pigmentation on your face, you have high fever, you feel weaker, etc.

These are all symptoms of the disease, of the virus.

What the teachers and gurus are saying with words, are but symptoms of the virus. They are trying to convey something that cannot be conveyed by words, this "virus" that they have inside can only be explained through the symptoms that it displays on the outside as they cannot accurately state what is REALLY happening on the inside.

Even the words that I am saying right now are at best a representation of the ideas that I am trying to convey, ideas and concepts that are not conveyable with mere words although I do my best to explain it.

The point is that, whatever comes out of your mouth has already been diluted by the limits of language and speech and may or may not be true to your original ideas and thoughts when it goes out in the open, and not only that but it also gets filtered through the filtering processes of the other person that is at the receiving end.

Gurus can only at best TRY to explain efficiently and succinctly the wisdom they have acquired through EXPERIENCE which entails effort, mistakes, perseverance, etc.

All we see in books, dvds, cds are all symptoms AT BEST of the virus "being good with women" is. These are NOT the virus ITSELF, they are the symptoms of the virus!

Can you catch a virus by emulating the symptoms?

Hardly.

A question is asked then: How do I catch the virus?

The answer I've found is both surprising and shocking in its simplicity and it is this: There are no shortcuts in life. Only by going through a similar path that the gurus have gone through will I ever be as good as they are.
