Hmmmmm... upon further review... maybe he gives himself away when he says "level of consciousness"...
and just to be clear, the bloke you are talking about is Wolff, not Jean Klein, correct? Or both of them?

Re: Consciousness-without-an-object
This bloke is just another person lost in duality and chasing a dualistic phantom. Huh? I'd like to know why you think that. Seems to me he's pointing out the falsity of duality. He keeps going back and forth between "the universe" and "nirvana" and then saying "but the tru...

Consciousness-without-an-object
Just wondering if anyone here is familiar with the work of the late Franklin Merrell-Wolff. I studied briefly with one of his students, Joel Morwood, in Oregon (author of Naked Through the Gate and director of the Center for Sacred Sciences)... I'm going to put his little book called Aphorisms on co...

Re: Jed
Iolaus, I could not agree with you more about the bonus material!! Annoying. If I could somehow cut it from the pdf file and email it to you... I would. Torrent is where people (illegally I think, but not sure) post books and you can download them using the "torrent" tool at no cost... I h...

Re: Jed
If you can tell me which pages had the redefinitions, perhaps I'll look at them before I take the book to the outhouse. (Kidding!) It's chapter 4, A Brief Review, starting on page 21. I think one of Jed's chief goals is to provide new vocabulary where there wasn't any before (the opposite of double...

Re: Jed
Iolaus, I enjoyed your response. I feel that Jed is holding out too - for the reasons you listed, personal relationships, etc. He often says he mostly doesn't want to be around people, but then you notice in his books that he is around them a lot, socializes very normally, and often has nice women a...

Re: Jed
My original question still remains but let me rephrase it. In one of Jed's poems, "I can destroy the universe with a thought." Have you elected not to answer for my benefit and the benefit of others? Or do you have no idea what the hell he is talking about? And in Incorrect he's talking a...

Re: Jed
Thanks for that Dan, and you bring up a good point. How many New Agers would lash out at you if you said, "love is evil." I think this all ties in with the masculine/feminine thing. The feminine wants to believe that nothing needs to be done except to rid yourself of the negative traits an...

Re: Jed
So how is this different from "exploring the ego, making a study of the false self"? Well, that's a great question, and I think that's where you have to study your motives. Are you doing the writing because you know your self is false? Or are you doing it because you want to better yourse...

Re: Jed
Here is what I think about Jed's method: Autolysis means self-digestion. You're basically gnawing your own delusions off. I think what he was trying to accomplish with autolysis and "finding your own question" is to get you to find out what makes you uncomfortable. We have all of our trick...
