GENIUS FORUMS

You (plural) have a vastly different philosophical position than I do, and I might equally accuse you of not being committed enough to understand my position. It cuts both ways mate. I've made considerable efforts to understand your position. I talk with Kevin regularly. I participate on this forum....

Thanks for pointing me to the correct thread Laird,you're memory was better than mine on this occassion.Some time was saved. Yes, no probs, although my memory obviously failed me because just before reading your latest post I remembered clearly that you were completely right in your former post: Ke...

Oh well Dan, I do enjoy a good debate and I try to go beyond the superficial but if that's all that you get from my posts then so be it. There's a lot to be said for the dialectical technique. You are interested in discovering and illuminating truth right? Debate is a great way of doing that. And wh...

The pointing finger necessarily has meaning by virtue of the fact that it is pointing to the moon. The very act of pointing creates the meaning. Well i agree;the act of pointing gives rise to meaning,to me. ".... is no mountain,THERE IT IS" So why can't the act be said to be a concept,if ...

So, I'm basically wasting my time explaining anything to you. I'm not the only reader of this forum, and I'm surely not the only one who wants an answer to this question - just ask spelnxpert. If your aim is "in speaking to people who have some desire to make a true effort at understanding&quo...

I hope you'll continue to contribute, and Elizabeth, and Laird also if he has the interest. Well I probably wouldn't have contributed unless you'd invited me, but now that you have, here's my take on things. It seems highly likely to me that the ultimate origin and nature of reality will ever remai...

You do know if I stopped and answered every question put to me I wouldn't have time to piss and would eventually die, right? That might make an interesting documentary film. We could title it "The man whose bladder burst answering questions". Kind of catchy I think. Laird: Perhaps you wou...

Ok, well, last time we spoke about this you said you were re-reading my thread to see if you missed anything. I take it you didn't find anything satisfying in that re-read. I reread your thread-starter and a couple of the subsequent posts on the first page. As I wrote in the post to which you respo...

Sue , Of late you have been making a habit of misrepresenting people. You consistently misrepresented Nat in the thread that you recently started. Now you've misrepresented me. I did not say that I have "already been given all the information {I}* would require to understand this truth by Kevi...

Another question though - you mentioned the wood that the cupboard is made out of - do you think that the “cupboard” existed in the wood of the tree before it was cut down, and the planks used for the cupboard’s construction? This isn’t a trick question. It is a serious one that goes to the...

Well I for one wouldn't. You already knew my position. And I think that it's semi-comical, semi-tragic that you three (and others around this joint) stick your fingers in your ears and chant "La-la-la-la-I don't want to be attracted to the opposite sex! I don't, I don't, I DON'T !!!-la-la-la-la...

Thanks for explaining Dave. I was quite curious.

Dave, you seem to be a bit of a science buff. Is it a hobby or part of your profession?

I only just got around to listening to this show. It's a ripper. I particularly loved the way that Matt made use of logic and pointed out the irrationality of various QRS claims. He was a strong, engaging and confident speaker and in my opinion he thoroughly got the better of the hosts. There was so...

Oh, what, like intimacy between a man and a woman, and great sex? Sounds like she's got the winning ticket to me.

Oh, then what's the genuinely cheapening part?

And it's no wonder that you get all the babes, if $1000 is nothing to ya.

But enough with this talk of money, it truly is cheapening.

Liana Gailand is passionate about creating juicy alive intimate relationships.

Sounds right up your alley.

Absolutely. I'm very interested in what this woman has to say. I'm not willing to spend $1000 to hear her say it on the other hand.

Liana Gailand.

David Quinn wrote:It sounds like the kind of spiel that hypnotists and seducers direct at women when they want to get into their pants.

Interesting then that it was written by a woman. The Sue Hindmarsh of hypnotic seduction perhaps?

Ok, I read it Laird, now let's hope Sue is inclined to explain why your picture of reality is less true or ultimate than her own. Isn't this the same as asking her to prove why her picture or description is ultimately true. Isn' it her position that she knows it's true b/c once you experience it fo...

For what it's worth, DF, I thought that it was a great quote and a wonderful piece of honest writing. Thanks for sharing it.

If you want the world to improve you must first be a person that can improve it. [...] One of the problems that I've noticed in the way this place has functioned over the last few months is a slide into the pretense of believing that one is possessed of sufficient wisdom to embark on these pragmati...

Either you're not paying enough attention or you're not paying enough attention. There is probably a third possibility, but I suspect that is you're not paying enough attention. In what sense did my Emotions, Attachment and Wisdom thread not answer his - and similarly asked - question? If you can p...

[quotes rearranged] Again more good answers, as well as questions, have they left you speechless my hairy friend! :) How you can just let this lie there I don't understand. [...] I'm not sure whether Laird considers this response a cop-out, simply not worthy of his time, or as I hint to above, an un...
