Re: Arbitrary absolutism: the values of the house philosophy
Not too funny, since that's not what he's doing and it is what you are doing. Do you really think that Lao Tzu didn't equate the Tao with the Totality, the All? That he divided the world up into Tao and not-Tao? Yep, he did, at least conventionally. If you actually read the Tao Te Ching without egot...

Re: the underground man
Okay, thanks for the more considered response. Let's see if I have understood you correctly: If the Tao is the "rest of immediate reality" or "immediate reality sans thought", then the idea that "thought is the negation of the Tao" translates as "thought is the ne...

Re: Deaf to Non-duality!
A perfect Buddha could materialize in front of these people and articulate the truth in the clearest possible manner and still it would stump them. They are simply too far removed from the receptive areas, neurologically speaking. Do you often make up scientific hypotheses and present them as fact ...

Re: Arbitrary absolutism: the values of the house philosophy
When the ego is disputed, how is it it's ever going to be done on a message board styled 'Genius Forum'? The pursuit of non-ego by the egotistical is a pathetic endeavor. At Genius Forum they don't tell you that you need humility - can you guess why? Not much need to guess, I'd say. Seems pretty ap...

Re: Deaf to Non-duality!
But really, I'd like some input...all the ones that keep coming back to this forum, why would you do it? What do you think drives you?

Re: Arbitrary absolutism: the values of the house philosophy
You can say that I've used a duck's arse to swab out a septic tank, but it doesn't amount to anything. All words, all concepts, all attachments, all egotism. Laozi, Zhuangzi, Nag, and the others didn't care a whit about whether they had used "the law of identity" or the aforementioned duck...

Re: Deaf to Non-duality!
You do not "know what is ultimately real," Kelly. Neither does Dear Leader Quinn Jong-Il. The Taoist and Zen traditions, which you guys opportunistically co-opt and shamelessly mangle, are quite clear that no one "knows" what is "ultimately real." Rather, what is "...

Re: the underground man
Any thoughts are potentially capable of pointing toward (or away from) that which is beyond thought. In your egotism, you'd like to imagine me being forced by your superior QRS logic to make amendments and concessions - but in reality, that has always been my position, as it is that of the historica...

Say whatever you like about me, Nat, but there is one thing you can't deny and that is - I know how to get under your skin. Indeed you do, as do all egomaniacs. But back to the matter at hand, I'm still finding your discourse on the subject of thought very confusing. There doesn't seem to be any re...

Hi David, But what I find odd with you is that you have been trying to extract triple the amount of self-aggrandizement than normal: First, there is the self-aggrandizement involved in your website, which, as you say, is pretty standard in its juggle to marry greedy, outright promotion with conventi...

Of course, they will think, "how dare Nat lecture us about self-image, for in order to do so, he must imagine himself to be greater and wiser than us, therefore making him a hypocrite by default." See how their egos will exercise themselves so fitfully? And just in case you attribute this ...

I'm sorry but I don't think you can reason that since individual things don't exist the totality of individual non-existent things must instead exist.
