GENIUS FORUMS

When you discover the existence of a thief, the thief goes away. That's the way it is with the ego. Hi! Exactly this. My question would be: what kind of thoughts would be necessary to let the thief get interested such that I can stumble upon the act. Need I lower my threshold of observation? Or jus...

Well, if ego is an "construct", then this construct is an individual problem? What happened to the "ego hammer" of the indian guru (The Guru has a harder time with us occidentals). And if there is a way to enlightenment, which is imperative to me, then there are some dynamics. So...

I'm a little surprised you ask this considering the rather large list of resources you have on your own website. But I think you could read any Zen texts, The Thinking Man's Minefield, Genius News, or just hang around here a while. What aspect of the nature of the ego are you wanting to explore? Hi...

Well, I can think. But I can also Ask and after that Inquire.

I sometimes have higher states of mind/consciousness however I lose it within a couple of days.

I do not know why.

What do I for example need to read to come to understand the ego more precisely?

I like the initiative cat10542, [Pretty good translation] You believe that Freud was one of these people.

Very interesting stuff guys. And just at the right time. Justin, what remedy do you prescibe to those who have trouble articulating their mental landscape?

Laugh, the title assumes "importance" so "The most important philosophical question" is the question that is seen as most important. This can be researched with quantitative methods and does NOT help philosophy further ahead. It takes 1 person and some shoulders stand on for the ...

As I suspected...! Btw, why do you mention schizophrenia, so often? Are you ill? Psychology student? An active member of these forums, with a new identity? Huh! HUH! Tell me...!-.-! Uh oh. I want to study philosophy and then dive into a theology master so that I can help humans. I want to dive into...

Right..

Hi RalphPL! I'm going to analyse my own things through the pieces you broke down. Before I do that, I'd like to communicate a few things with you: You seem to not be very patient when you write, so you end up trying to insert too my thoughts, without enough connections, so others may/do not understa...

Problem is, how to grow consciousness and to accept your subconscious a...
