Re: Jupiviv v QSR

You're just asserting, without any evidence or explanation, that intellectual understanding of certain special, deep truths or meanings leads to broader consciousness. Again, like I asked David, why are these truths so special or deep? By what mechanism do they intensify consciousness? Unless you c...

Re: A view of the birth of Self-love

Vishesh, yes, I am aware of the experiential journey of Soul/Mates-Twin Flames. Quite the ride. :-) What made you ask this question in relation to my post on Self-Love? Well it's more about certain changes that have taken place that has reoriented me significantly. Do you have an email corresponden...

Just going to dip in over here again, I'd be interested to hear about what Dan, David and Rhett have to say about the Senate and Congress supporting the HK bill (with Trump wavering about it).

Re: A view of the birth of Self-love

Being conscious of the eternal, restless nature of God or Nature desiring to birth Itself is one thing, it is entirely another to allow this truth to be fully absorbed into consciousness. After all, perception of other-as-cause of pain and suffering is the core of pre-enlightened conditioning, even...

Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean by 'more superficial illusions'?

Re: Serious conversations about important issues, Part II: Truth is the root of all evil.

Minds are not inherently distinct from each other, either in time or space. If destroying some "core illusion" leads to the destruction of all others, the efforts of the original Buddha would have liberated the entire human race from delusion for all time. Thus, only nihilists shy away fr...

Re: Serious conversations about important issues, Part II: Truth is the root of all evil.

Generally, I would describe the masculine drive as the drive to make logical connections and the feminine drive as the drive to make meaningful connections, the key component of each being the drive to make connections. And although the masculine and feminine drives can be distinguished from each o...

Re: Serious conversations about important issues, Part II: Truth is the root of all evil.

It's a very weak basis for advising someone to reverse on a (probably?) serious personal decision to be here seeking something instead of chasing wordly success. Not really. I'm not particularly anal about dissociating all worldly endevours from avenues of developing genius. And I never meant perma...

First a definition of consciousness and unconsciousness which I believe, in principle rather than content, to be close to that of Jung's.

Re: Serious conversations about important issues, Part II: Truth is the root of all evil.

True wisdom, then, is no more than a consistent belief in the value of honesty. I must stress that it is a belief and not the logical conclusion of reasoning about "absolute truths". Reason cannot tell us why we should use reason. Nor can our usage of reason in one instance carry over to ...

Infinite thinkers, by contrast, are not distracted by false thoughts of 'other', instead they are ever seeking new opportunities to cause forms. Solving the issues of climate change is an ideal opportunity for form-making. This is why logical thinkers belong to the ACT group (i.e., they act 'purely...

Republicans who are on board with climate change typically skew young (Generation X and millenials).

That doesn't help anyone with the question what is real, significant or meaningful. You perform a trick (it's all good). Pretty much agree with Diebert here and what he mentioned in his post. The sage's desire to spread truth outwardly in the world ultimately derives from his life-long desire to be...
