Here is a funny quote I thought of the other day. Marrying a women ...

okay Sapius, you're off the hook this time, but I'll be watching you closely mate!

Actually I agree with you for once unwise, I also suspect that the sexual union between man and woman is a symbolic metaphor for the transcendence of duality. I remember a sexual experience I once had with an ex-girlfriend where as time passed and as the act persisted, I became less and less aware o...

Sapius wrote: and at the same time don’t abandon advancement in favor of becoming farmers. This is the weakest assertion you have ever made Sapius.

Honestly I have nothing to say here. I created this thread because Jiddu Krishnamurti and David Quinn had a thread dedicated to them and I thought to myself: “Hey! Why not the Prostitute?” I deserve my own thread too ya know… And I figured the probability of someone else creating a thread in m...

Yes, one couldnt live without a sense of humor, life would not be bearable, however there needs to be a balance between humor and seriousness. Many times humor arises out of an intense seriousness, it is an unintentional byproduct of intense exploration. Humor should not be primary, and one shouldnt...

Unwise wrote: I wasn't there. This is often why I make fun of history and amazing claims about Hitler and so on. How do you know, were you there? K was a blowhard. Not enlightened.
