GENIUS FORUMS

There is a big difference between the two. A saviour encourages submissiveness and passivity in those he saves, while a midwife inspires action and independence of thought. A midwife provokes people into saving themselves. So, you're a midwifing, enlightened genius who is detached from everything e...

I realize that, but underlying the mockery is a more serious point, which is that you are praising your own behaviour and rating it above my own - the very thing you accuse me of doing.

Does this mean you don't want to be part of my Temple of Enlightened Boxer Shorters?

This is the second time you have gone down this track Yes, the first time you acknowledged that you wished to "save" others, although you also acknowledged that you preferred to think of yourself as a "midwife". A very masculine midwife, apparently. Have you been burnt by a guru...

Try taking a step back and you will see that you are doing precisely the very thing you accuse me of doing. It's called mockery. You would be just in labelling it hypocrisy if I actually believed I was "enlightened". I don't. I'm merely mirroring your own schtick. You're right, it doesn't...

You are going to have to wait an eternity for that to happen. The feminine can't kill what does not exist to begin with. There is no "David Quinn", and ultimately no life or death. Nice cop-out David. If there is no David, no life, no death and no eternity either... why do you do what you...

And do you agree that to be irrational is to be unconscious? I'm not certain I would use those terms to describe the majority of humanity but I would agree that there is a long way to go. The difference is I have no need to define "the masculine" as the inherently inferior blight upon hum...

do you see the idea? Humanity becoming undivided and whole? I would say to become undivided is a worthy endeavour. We could label those disparate portions of our selves as black and white, light and dark, male and female, but what we can't do is to throw one part away and call ourselves whole. You ...

Were you planning a stopover in purgatory, David?

What is the "unconscious" but that of which one is not consciously aware? David associates the unconscious with the feminine and he continually runs from it because of that association he has applied. This is why, in the end, it will be the feminine who "kills" that which is &quo...

Only one who has been at one with boxer shorts could possibly be capable of speaking with any authority on the matter, David. You, clearly, are a thong people and as some of "us" more "enlightened" people know, thong people are not capable of perceiving the superior wisdom of box...

well he's nearly got his wish.........and all the attention. perhaps if you do't pander to his need for attention he'll go away

I have no wish for Ashton to go away. I'm quite sincere in my assertion that openly playing games can be highly productive.

If the Buddha was trying to discuss the path to enlightenment with a number of his students, and an interloper came along and kept wanting talk last week's footy games instead, would the Buddha lose his transcendent equilibrium by asking this fellow to leave? Being enlightened doesn't mean passivel...

Oh, I have no doubt that others have passed by this thread and found meaning in it. Nonetheless, the question is David's, not Kevin's.

Oooh, nice jab! This game-playing is fun, no? Ashton and I are playing a game too. It can be very fun, very insightful. The game we are playing is called, "I will let you crawl under my skin and pretend I didn't put you there you big mean, brute -- get away from me! You psycho!" What game ...

I was waiting for a passive-aggressive comment like that.

Were we to pretend that it wasn't a game of "my cock is bigger than yours", Nick? I don't mind the game, provided it's acknowledged that we're playing it.

Ashton dear, if you are going to provide us all with some titilation the least you could do is attire yourself appropriately.

I'll give you a dollar if you take it all off. ;-)

Would the two of you mind wearing some thongs and stepping into a mud bathif your're going to continue with your game?

I dare say, that would be most thrilling for the spectators!

Mmmmm. Yummy!! A mudly cock fight!

Yes, this is where I also see an error in the perceptions of both David and Kevin: when they draw their lines between the inferior and the superior they place the feminine firmly on the inferior side regardless of whether the act was carried out by a male or female. When it comes to their perception...

...

It wasn't your question Kevin. Meaningless is fitting.

I suggest you take it for what it means to you, Kevin.

:-) I think I can live with that.

Enjoy your day/night, ashton.

If I have done nothing, why do you fear me?

Hmmm. Shall we talk of fear, ashton? Terror, perhaps? What were you expecting of the path, that it would be pretty, fluffy white clouds? That it would bring you admiration, accolades, and a notation in the history books? That it would not strip the color from your eyes, the guts from your bowels? Th...

lol. And then what, ashton?
