KJ: Anything you are working on, Leyla, or any wild ideas? LS: I think, Kelly, I haven't thought about it seriously enough. With the regular people I meet in daily life (work colleagues and family), I challenge their religious and other ideological values all the time. I actually can't help myself!...

Re: Projects for: "I have come to start a fire..."

I think Leyla's mistakenly equivocating two different meanings of "society": (1) any group of individuals, (2) the egotistical forms of socialising. (1) can abandon (2), and then it doesn't have the same drives and values as the group (2). It becomes a loosely-knit group of individuals see...

Re: Projects for: "I have come to start a fire..."

Okay, thanks for the honest replies, Jupta. I think that probably establishes that it is difficult, generally, to get as far in everyday conversation on philosophical topics, as one may do through "vehicles", like books or essays and the like. Sure, one can have an "influence", b...

Re: Calling The Next Generation

Hey Cory. With respect to you, I find the idea of followers repulsive. Who needs followers? Those who don't trust their own minds, and who don't want others to, either. Similarly, I don't wish to steer others. When I criticise, it's not in order to steer people. I'm just offering my thoughts, and ho...

Re: Projects for: "I have come to start a fire..."

KJ: Is it still misguided, now you know what I meant by a fire? And that very few people are alight? LS: Yes and no, Kelly. No, because the absurdity in denying the value of wisdom is immediately apparent. And yes, too, because the absurdity in denying the value of wisdom is immediately apparent. A...

You admit Kevin's site was a vehicle in your case, and it worked because you got in and used it. That's the process I'm talking a...

Re: Qualities of a Spiritually Evolved Human

I have now listed "Kunga" and "Dennis Mahar" in the "Foes" panel, which means their posts are designated in the forum with their names only.

Re: Projects for: "I have come to start a fire..."

Since I can't suspend their accounts, I'm going to have to ignore Kunga and Dennis for the meantime. If there's no response from the admins in the next few days, then I'm going to re-open the Natural Thinker forum. Anyone who wishes to continue this trajectory can come over there, without the distur...

Re: Suffering Revisited

I think it's a mistake to treat Dennis as a rational being, Seeker. He comes across as an elderly man of some senility, with a strong crush on appearing Zennish. Presumably it was trained into him by a reward feedback mechanism. He liked Zen ideas, and simple communication. But more than that, he li...

Re: Qualities of a Spiritually Evolved Human

Kunga, I did speak the truth. So did Jupiviv and Diebert, when they pointed out that you have a quite significant psychological instability. Your OP in this thread, which you have justified posting by saying you believed it to be correct, is a case in point. Until you can develop more strength of mi...

Re: Qualities of a Spiritually Evolved Human

I didn't provoke you. I spoke the truth about you. As for your apology, I don't accept it. You need to stay away from the forum for at least a month. You're far too addicted to posting here, to be capable of genuine remorse.

If there's nothing to fix, why do you keep posting your responses, Dennis?

If words are meaningless, why do you keep using words calculated to convey a meaning?

Re: Suffering Revisited

Words are meaningless, aren't they, Dennis. That's why you choose to respond with words like "Uga buga budjum udgum," instead of something more coherent.

Re: Projects for: "I have come to start a fire..."

Little Troll, Ultimate Reality is conceptual, because wise concepts, which are manifestions of Reality, point to it, so they point to themselves. You will never understand this point, until you understand the words you use, and apply their meaning. That is, when you realise it doesn't matter what co...

I forgot to add another long-term project to that list. Namely, the "Thinker's Estates". This one is a bit harder, but impossibilities aren't excluded from this thread. Basically, back in 2007 or so, the thought came to me that the reason so few young men enter the spiritual path, is becau...

Re: Suffering Revisited

Try to present a rational argument explaining how you reached your conclusions, Dennis. Simply stating your conclusion is not engaging in discussion.

If you can't do that, you're a troll.

Those sites are probably not comparative, since you think animals are enlightened.

The Genius Forum is definitely as luminous as a shadow, at present.
