GENIUS FORUMS

Well, to state that contemplation is not the way to enlightenment then please do share your all knowing way to enlightenment. . My all knowing way to enlightenment is derived from enlightened ones like Lao Tzu and The Buddha. Both of them told you exactly how to get there. By knowing yourself. &quo...

Damn Cops.

That's exactly why we can't grasp it, division is an illusion we created, trying to understand a code or machine or organism or univerae or system with only 5% of the information would lead to a complete misunderstanding. That is why athiesm exists, the ego leads the foolish to say the universe is u...

Take a chill pill, slick.


I'm always chilled.


Mental vagrant:
what I'm saying is based on the belief that meditation and direct insight of the self leads to more awareness and understanding.

It's the best approach, or atleast a necessary one, because without doing so you can't truly understand the concept and are prone to making points that don't apply. You need to experience the doubt for yourself, so you can scrutinize each of your own attempts at solving the issue and see if they hol...

Also, because you are geniuses you might be accustomed to explaining complex concepts, but I found that the only way to progress on forums is not to spend all our time trying to cut each other down, but to make simple straight forward points that we can all work on together or can take into consider...

I have read all of your comments and seen complex points but these lead nowhere on the issue of solipsism. The best way to tackle it is to assume solipsism true. To view things as if you are the only being in existence and all other people are only manifestations of your conciousness. After doing th...

yes but you can't grasp the whole by looking at or measuring the parts from an already partial perspective.

Or one demands normality or tolerance from a world where it wasn't before. But whenever someone fought for "freedom" so far, some new kind of border of boundary (law, convention, regulation) had to be drafted. It's ultimately about a shift of power or control. The only "real" fr...

So can we be sure any perspective is distinctively "ours" if there's no distinct boundary in the first place to discern or establish (unless by assertion or claim)? If I think something, you do not hear my thoughts. If I see it, you do not see my vantage point. The distinction is in "...

Dan Rowden, it is, but maybe not as much as making smartass comments is on yours :p

I asked the question why we are so easily distracted and said it was not in our benefit. I never said I always act in my benefit. It's quiet the opposite

Cahoot or Tomas

Neither of you know me or what I know. So stay on topic I guess,

And both of you are wrong, without action from people like Gandhi to show others by example and to teach the truth we would be nowhere.

" Its always been like this" is a loser excuse.

Smaller group discussion or one on one works much better than forums.

If you would like to join leave your Skype names here. Only for serious thinkers.

Tomas

:/

Every law is a reduction of freedom. Laws are only increasing while our freedoms are decreasing. Government continues to become more prevalent. They have moved away from self-sustainability and hence freedom. To slavery via imaginary numbers. The numbers do not relate to work, as someone could be ea...

I will try to be as simple and clear as possible so that readers can understand my meaning, rather than getting caught up in details or problems they might see. Real: It exists despite me. If I were gone it would still be there. It was not created by my imagination. Other perspectives can experience...

I will definitely get around to reading it soon as I have wanted to learn from some modern monks.


BACK TO TOPIC:

Any suggestions????????

Does no one else think this is important?

NobodyListens2Genius, I'm reading it. (Exhilarating & VERY interesting read !!!) Half way through it.(pdf), Also going through a life change crisis, and contemplate this option. Whatdaya got to loose ? Well it could turn out that I can't find my way home if things go unwell and I do end up slee...

The first day I came across the Tao Te Ching I wanted to scream like a little girl haha, how lucky we are to have read the words of Lao Tzu or the Buddha Gautama. I agree it just seems a little contradictory based on the theme of non-action and thoughtlessness, but I guess since he wrote it he thoug...

Kunga I am definitely going to read that book it looks interesting. And to be completely honest, I want NOTHING more than to walk into a forest and not come back. The only thing stopping me is food and shelter. If I knew I was never going to starve or freeze. I would not even be in this country. I w...

Rather then allowing desire to direct what you out to pull out of the external world, view the world as a canvas on which to place the art of your life. I liked that Eric. I agree about the sense of purposelessness or disinterest and went through a time where I wasn't sure what to do. I wanted to s...

About the increasing control and prevalence of government and corporations, and the loss of our freedoms & humanity. They have simply screwed everything up, and continue to screw it up on a daily basis. We may be the few that can fully understand and appreciate what's happening and therefore hav...

Truth. Being a "non-believer" and assuming "god" is some magical creature that sits apart from reality, makes you a complete and utter idiot.

Sorry.

Also agree. Humans are so arrogant to think that their understanding of reality, most of which comes from mathematics and human measurements, has anything to do with what is. They don't seem to understand that if it were so amazingly complex that we can't grasp it. Which it is. Then how can you meas...
