Below is the complete unedited copy of my emails with the Buddhist monk, Ven. Pannobhasa.
Hi Venerable Pannobhasa,
I have been contemplating more about you and I and what we can do together. The highest leadership for my life should be senior Theravada monks. This is my ideal working environment, for me to be following their leadership. As a lay Buddhist I can say things that monks cannot say and I can go farther.
I’m trying to get The Brian Ruhe Show more aligned with the Buddha and a vaster cosmological view of reality. I started writing my worldview just before I discovered you. Maybe it’s not a coincidence. I am not done writing it yet but I attach it for you if you have time to read the 10 pages. Can you open .odt format? I share this with you and ask if you can try to answer my dhamma questions about reptilians, etc. We could hone the worldview and write something that we both agree on, if possible. The worldview can become a more solidified document like the suttas or the Thule Society philosophy at thulesociety.com . This would be used as a guide for my/our future direction.
I can share my contacts with you, about other like minded western monks who I work with.
We can make a series of videos. Include some with Zen monk Paul Martin who agrees with us. I have done videos with him before.
I invite you to be a spiritual guide in the Thule Society. I wrote that the Thule Society could include high priests. As a monk you probably don’t want to be called a high priest. I also wrote that the Thule Society could include an order of monks. You could be the first. You could post in the blog and make Thule Society videos.
Anagarika Dharmapala is a role model for me. In the future, I could take anagarika ordination with you. This is a fantasy at this time but I have thought about ordaining again. I was a monk in 1996. I would still be able to speak politically. You could be my teacher and guide. You and I could live together. But the practical thing for now is for us to be where we are. I am in a good set up with adequate support for me to work full time on my mission.
I feel that you should remain in the west and you should have as big an effect as possible in the west where help is greatly needed.
Much metta!
Brian
Hi Venerable Pannobhasa,
I deeply appreciate you spending so much time on me, thanks!!
I very much look forward to your reply and want to ask if I can quote you or how far I can go with that. I have secret relationships with some western monks and I honour that.
I added a bit more to my worldview and still need to put on some finishing touches like sources. It is attached but you don’t have to read the whole thing over again.
I joined the Alt-Buddhism group! Thanks!! I introduced myself and mentioned you.
Please take your time and let me know if you can talk somehow.
May the devas guard and protect you always!
Brian
