Quinn: Yes, the names of sages, and events surrounding sages still pollutes this consciousness, it is a neurosis that has not ended. some of these rants are attempts to go beyond the inner disorder, and they are not directed at anyone in particular... contradiction? yes. Solution: suffering and nega...

Is stupidity a choice? Maybe there is no choice at all? Let us explore stupidity in relationship to choice. If we look at the world together, it seems that stupid people are not choosing to be stupid. They are conditioned to behave stupid. For example if we watch groups of humans. A striking connec...

drastic reduction in human population yes, indeed. However nature has ways of balancing out imbalances. However, the intelligent must take the first steps to move away from the disorder within the inefficient cities…. It is also important that we soon begin colonizing space. Why is colonizing spa...

What is freedom to you? Following your 'bliss'? Doing what you love? The reason I attack things such as computers and cell phones is because every technology, luxury and pleasure we have in society, man must labour and toil many more hours, and do jobs he hates that destroy his mind and body... so ...

haha, then we have a problem Tom... it appears that is the tragedy of many philosophers is that they become so focused on understanding the absolute truth, that they forget to aquire some sort of practical skill to in order to survive... I found myself in that predicament, so I studied no till farmi...

Kevin There's only one primary realization that needs to be made and remembered. but many teachings will say enlighenment is a state of unknowing which implies no memory. sometimes I find myself in a state where there is absolutely nothing, I have no image of myself, and I'm not even aware of what I...

Kevin So, for as long as a person experiences things which contradict Truth, that person's memory of Truth is not automatic, and so they must consciously work to recall it to mind. Must this always be the case? Isn’t the brain a faulty instrument by nature? Isn’t memory limited? Do I always need...

Post your religious jokes here.

1st Joke: “There are three monks, who had been sitting in deep meditation for many years amidst the Himalayan snow peaks, never speaking a word, in utter silence. One morning, one of the three suddenly speaks up and says, ‘What a lovely morning this is.’ And he falls silent again. Five years o...

You are right, I have made some harsh biased statements, I got a little carried way with this mythical conception of femininity, I can see now how ignorant it is, but let me continue if I may…. female leaders embrace war quite happily. Yes, I agree, but do most women have the will to engage in war...

Leaving the cities and returning to nature.

If there is a religious life, is it only for the man who has a sensitivity to the nature world? Man is destroying this beautiful earth at an incredible rate. What are intelligent men like yourself to do about it? Is the most intelligent action, not participating in the vulgar inefficient movement of...

Jason and someone who does not respond to such statements is likely to be seen as odd, mute or even dangerous. Perhaps we are perceived by others as odd when we fail to reply to mediocre conversation because the other person expects a certain response, and when we fail them, they suffer. I find ever...

In defense of the feminine energy

If we observe the disorder in the world, most of the atrocities and blunders are done by men, not women. Men go to war. Male construction crews continue to build up the overpopulated cities that destroy nature. All industrial and technological progress is the handy work of men, who are leaching the ...

the word genius is stupid.

Who claims to be a genius? Show me a man who claims to be a genius, and I’ll show you someone who is deluded. No one is genius…. Genius implies there is something to gain in this life, there is nothing to gain…. To claim to be anything is self-deception… as soon as you assert yourself with a...
