GENIUS FORUMS

Yeah, mesmerism, that's all it adds up to, really. The world is full of forms of light hypnosis and lullabies - and you're just adding another unimpressive, largely incomprehensible tune! But some, or at least Pam, must be taken by it: so well done Sir! This is an example of gossip, innuendo and op...

The question I would like answered by those on this board who believe their God is conditioned as they are conditioned is: how will you ever be whole and complete to yourself if your God is conditioned to doubt as you are conditioned to doubt? If indeed, being whole and complete to yourself is what...

The question I would like answered by those on this board who believe their God is conditioned as they are conditioned is: how will you ever be whole and complete to yourself if your God is conditioned to doubt as you are conditioned to doubt?

Either your God: Is conditioned as you are conditioned; OR Is unconditioned. The question I would like answered by those on this board who believe their God is conditioned as they are conditioned is: how will you ever be whole and complete to yourself if your God is conditioned to doubt as you are c...

This does create a duality. If there is the state of being void of duality (and I know there is), why does the dust of the ground exist and therefore, duality? Wisdom observes that the dust of the ground appears in the Godhead; however, its cause no man can know, and that of man's appearance of thi...

Luke Breuer: Nothing that God created was called evil at the point of creation. So is Eckhart’s “created” a different kind? I have seen similar attempts to disparage emotions, and yet God is described through emotion, we are told in Genesis that we are made in God’s image, and we are told that God ...

Seems like that foundation of love you say you've had has keep the natural flame of curiosity from being snuffed out in you, as unfortunately is the case with most children. Although my siblings and I attended Sunday school for the sake of our grandmother, there was no religion in our home. Nor wer...

Luke Breuer: Do pronouns mean anything after one’s idea of will disappears? Since neither my will nor my personality has disappeared, I remain using pronouns. Balloons get expanded, often with hot air… As long as the wisdom is purposed to pop my human balloon, I know I am on the right track. I’m fi...

To me, if one claims to be unconditioned, then they must also deny their humanity or humanism. The unconditioning I refer to is the rooting out of all the false or inhuman conditioning that we acquired as a child on up through our lives, as the result of being born into a fallen and corrupt human w...

Luke Breuer: What happens to one’s personality when one’s idea of will disappears? The idea of personality also disappears. movingalways: Rare is a mind such as Eckhart's who truly knows what to be crucified as Jesus was crucified, entails. Luke Breuer: By saying that, aren’t you putting yourself i...

I speak for myself when I say that of the touching of this spark of my infinity, the idea of following another's ideals of a new world is unthinkable to me. I would rather die of my own hands than make another man my God or god of a collective, human, 'brave new world.' Bob Michael: You seem to put...

Eckhart's teachings are just as dead as Christ's teachings have become so far as them ever being truly instrumental in leading others to a 'New Life'. If you believe Jesus' teachings of the Christ mind are dead teachings, then of my comprehension of their wisdom, you do not comprehend what it is he...

movingalways: The original post in this thread is about Eckhart's doctrine of poverty of spirit , wherein a man is stripped even of his idea of will, whether it be of his own, or of God's. Luke Breuer: There is a world of difference between having one’s own idea of “will” change , and having anythi...

And I know of no one personally who has been genuinely reborn and is consciously and painstakingly rehabilitating either of these things. Do you know of anyone non- personally who has been genuinely reborn? Perhaps someone on these forums? It is hard to understand a phenomenon when there is only on...

Then what is the " knowing the spirit reality of oneself"? It is the awareness that you are of the law of the spirit of life, of which being of the dust of the ground (belief in self) is but an extension or an emanation. Because I have memory does not mean I am in a corner. It means I hav...

The problem with 'looking for happiness' is in the looking and the happiness. To look for oneself to make oneself happy is to admit to oneself that one is not, in this very moment, 'happy' with themselves. Does one not have to be aware of being unhappy before they can seek happiness, and in the seek...

Pam: Beginner's mind to you is awe and wonder. Dennis: It's always minty fresh. Doesn't matter how many years it's been here. It's always spanking new. It can't deteriorate, age, break down. It's always presenting a new face. There's always an original cut that hasn't shown up before. The grass jus...

Dennis: I can't claim 'fullness of enlightenment'. Nor can I, for I do not know what this is. I can only be this moment of being dark to the fullness of my light. I can claim confidently 'beginner's mind'. A movement into, an access to, a threshold into enlightenment, maybe the first rung on the la...

Whether one is male or female of finite form, the ultimate goal of being cleansed of one's lust toward either form is the goal of being cleansed of one's lust for all finite forms of the earth so that the formless spirit of man can be liberated from the gravity of this lust. The blind spot both male...

Dennis, You are always in conscious union with your thoughts about the God of you, which means whatever you think God is, you are also, which means if it is awe that you want to be in this moment, you will be your understanding of awe, which means you will also be vulnerable to the God of absence of...

Whatever is your understanding of God will reflect back to you the essence of the answer to your question to God. Why? Because you are not separate from your understanding of God. Which means that if you believe God is a human fellow like you who thinks in terms of good and evil, then that is the fe...

I shall be tenacious in this matter; and fixed on revenge, I shall wage war, except against those mental afflictions that are related to the elimination of mental afflictions. There is only one affliction, and that is, the thought that we are afflicted. However, this realization that affliction is ...

Dennis: So, what you're talking about is a possibility conversation has for transformation that is not merely exchanging noises? Is that your conversation with conscience? Whatever comes out of our mouth is a reflection of the activity of analysis of our perception of two, which is the wisdom of co...

A conversation is a dance of revelation and of transcendence, and of this dance, the mystery of one's being is known. Reason, to me, is as mysterious as love. Both reason and love are of the dance of relationship, but only love knows its depth.

Dennis: And remembers me to true nature..that is always/already 'Siren Calling'..

Siren calling
Hearing sun,
Skin of words
On fire.
