GENIUS FORUMS

I can only imagine how great a comedy witnessing your life would be =D

"Wifey, children, sit around the table and listen here. We live by higher ideals than the rest! Why? Because we are well read of course."

But having you here is good enough.

It's impossible to accurately judge another's understanding or delusion based on their language. This only becomes more and more clear. Why? Because those who are wise are free. So it can not even be done based on their actions. Nevertheless it's the common and logical conventional/worldly belief, a...

Too, I laugh when the term 'wisdom' is hauled out. The use of this word on this forum and that the term gets passed from one hand to another as a 'definite possession', a thing attained and assumed to have been attained, finished and done with, is amazingly laughable. Actually, and for me, this ins...

It's mind blowing how obvious Gustav's foolishness is.

"Possessive"
"bores me"
"bizarrely interrupted"

I don't think I have ever misunderstood what is meant by 'ego-transcendence', hahahaha. It is literally impossible to understand unless you have had the personal experience/insight. Otherwise, any description is not it. Can't you wrap your mind around that point? All you're really saying is "I...

Then there you go, avoidance of contemplation, ignorance.

"But there is no way to separate this consciousness, and Illumination of it - given that It illumines Itself - from 'mind' and the functions of mind in this, our world. It seems that Seeker at least imagines an outside source, something beyond mind (our minds) which can be accessed through what...

How should I know with anything more than speculation? Language is just pointers, truth is understood through personal insight.

You know the answer to my question though. Why do you avoid speaking the truth of it?

Please answer that second question I asked. Just for the purpose of curiosity and elucidation. I'm asking a simple question about your activities, there is a truthful and clear answer. Can you not understand the value in being honest about such a simple question in regards to communication? I asked ...

You're wrong, and you're living in a fantasy world due to your over-attachment to language, the world you believe in doesn't exist. You're still too egotistical and unconscious to see it. Doubt yourself more. No one can seek further for you. Just take the advice and contemplate without the distracti...

To understand reality better, use the practice of complete silence(to not describe or explain or question) coupled with non action. Start looking, don't stop. Try it, and if you're still confused about anything at all, try it for longer "Become truth", just one of many ways of signalling t...

I've engaged him before, and he's the same obnoxious prat he was in the past. His views haven't changed at all. Rather, he hasn't even developed any views. His output consists of a helpful posture (that becomes indignant and obtuse when pinned down) and a permutation of material he has read that ju...

There was no egotistical action or intention of retaliation in me. Perhaps you added that to what you read based on your perception, it wasn't inherent in the writing or in me, nor do I hate anything. Pointing out any percieved blindness in others, whether it is there or not, is not an indication of...

[quote="throughthemud"] As far as your "insights" about me, probably they were derived because I have a lot of hypothesis about metaphysics [\quote] Bingo. The mass of 'hypothesis' about metaphysics you've provided - which I would call clear and undeniable signs that you are stil...

Why do you need more advice or for me to answer your questions? You can learn from a thousand different sources, there's plenty to read on this forum for a start, you don't need my help. I provided my advice already.

The word selfless is only relevant because of the popular beliefs surrounding 'self'. Forget the distorting belief and then selfless also becomes obsolete in terms of understanding, but yeah, that all sounded good to me :)

^ At best you've got beginners mind. Most likely you're just at the level of a clueless teenage hippy's mind.

That's helpful advice, not an attack. Use it and focus on learning.

Yeah, I used to have no clue what Diebert was on about, since it seemed that he was contradicting everything, until I better understood conceptual 'frameworks' and tearing them down. Though, like you said, sometimes I'm still confused by what he writes, in the sense that I find his contexts unclear,...

Jup promotes scientific materialism simply because he hasn't 'seen' the truth of the dream-like nature of the world. It's not something that can just be explained, he needs to see the illusory nature of things so he can stop being caught up in the wording. "Oh but if everything's illusory then ...

Would you assert that appearances, or objects of sensation, exist only by virtue 'physical' counterparts?

He thinks that I am delusional, and also that appearances are "very" real and empty. In other words, he believes that the *appearance* of poor delusional me *appears* to be empty. But he won't admit this, because if he does then he would also have to admit that his own premise bars him fr...

They are signs of the stubborn unwillingness to admit to the full emptiness of the subject which will show the emptiness of all the objects, the world and its things. It's that depth, that abyss, which is offered here. Nice post Diebert, I wonder if we're on the same page, you'd have to tell me: Th...

For a few paragraphs you described deeply negative emotions you go through. You also said you get very unclear headed. Some of your "solutions" were "Just laugh", another had to do with your contemplation on cats, both of which sound like temporary 'fixes' for deeper underlying i...
