Re: Humans.
The ego is a consequence of a significantly developed conciousness (or masculinity/genius, as Weininger put it). Ironically, you technically require a strong ego in order to transcend it. Also reading posts by Ardy and Diebert: I wouldn't want to talk about jnana/samadhi since I haven't really cult...

Re: Humans.
You speak of samadhi and the jnana's often, I wonder if you are aware that jnanic or yogic meditation does not offer liberation from the delusion of a fundamental level of self whereas bodhi and prajna (cognitive wisdom of the true nature of things) does. Perhaps you do not desire liberation from &...

Re: Humans.
I would be more likely to define imagination as something that follows sense/experience. What happens to the human animal is that imagination gets detached from the immediacy of sense/experience and then madness ensues. This imagination gone mad has the upside of being able to counter conditioning,...

Re: Humans.
"Crow" is a god of magical thinking, offering contentment by escaping into the imagination of becoming a form other than that of "useless human being". Which is a problem for crow because he believes that in becoming/imagining a nonhuman form he has stopped the machinery of huma...

Re: PConspiracy
The sentiment is appreciated Ardy but you'll have to just accept here that I know what I'm doing and you perhaps are a bit, well naive . You are here defending someone who was not even serious and has been yanking your chain a bit. This is not about genius, it's about minimum age and mature level o...

Re: Humans.
Ardy, I think you imagine it to be something other-worldly when it really just describes a state of consciousness unbounded by egotism. It is developed by practicing renunciation of the materialistic outlook on all things. 'Neti, neti' comes to mind. Most people experience this on a very occasional...

Diebert - Don't you recognise anything in Crow? Does nothing that he says resonate with you? I know all about rampant ego using a forum as a toilet bowl. Of course you see "something" in it because you're looking for mirrors to look pretty. Crow supplies that. Is this what you meant with ...

Re: What is a genius?
I have had a similar experience whilst meditating and in samadhi, where I opened a black box [assuming it was another stupid image that the mind throws up] and inside was the universe and everything was in there and I just slipped into it and became it. All life everything was in there and I felt a...

My wife serves me. Looks after me. Stands by me. Adores me. Stands in awe of me. I have no idea why. . Sounds more like a mother. And to have her at your side you must have nearly killed your father!

Re: Ideal or flawed ways of living in relation to enlightenm
Enlightenment isn't mere insight into the workings of Reality. It is a direct communion with it. The first stands separate, as humans always do: observers. The second is a crow by a pond. It doesn't look at Reality. It is Reality. Enlightenment is impossible without such insight because Enlightenme...

Re: What is a genius?
I have nothing against being a carrot. The first thing I became was the mountain, which had been the focus of my meditation, over months. A beautiful, weird mountain. Google it: Tetakawi. I discovered the mountain didn't suddenly stop at the ground. It was the earth, and so was I. The earth was the...

You are right. You become a carrot. This does not prevent you from becoming the entire universe, also. Very true crow. In this mind [for want of another word] universe, everything exists from the minutest to the massive, all being born, rising to strength and reproduction and then dying. It is a tr...

Re: Enlightened Am
To the unenlightened, the enlightened makes only a claim to it, and is thus mad. To the enlightened, there is no claim to make, only what-is. He sees the madness of the unenlightened. There is no way for communication to take place. No common ground. The enlightened leaves self behind. He has to, o...
