Leyla wrote Please, do tell me about this (uncertain) empirical evidence. Soren Kierkegaard even talked about taking a leap of faith into the religious sphere of life. He used the word god all the time, but not in the context that a christian or a new age person uses it. the body is just like an emp...

Quinn wrote: Are you sure it is unintentional? like all great men, I'm guilty of making crude generalizations from time to time. Just CP being a wankering bozo again, please dont ban me from the forum Quinn, I'll change I promise... Leyla wrote: What surprises me is not your criticism of any attachm...

Leyla asks: What about the idea behind "cosmic prostitute"? The goofball persona “cosmic prostitute” was created as a means to derive self-gratification. It was done out of weakness. Besides a few jokes and gags, nothing good ever came out of that experiment. The entire persona was a b...

Leyla: The problem with Freud is that he made all sorts of divisions where he didn’t need to. The ID, ego and superego and not necessary in my opinion. One is either deluded because they think they exist, frightened of an ending of what they know and attached to self-gratification or they’re not...

Here are some selected excerpts taken from Ernest Becker’s “The Denial of Death” Jung speaking of Freud: “I can still recall vividly how Freud said to me “My dear Jung, promise me never to abandon the sexual theory. That is the most essential thing of all. You see, we must make a dogma of ...

There are simple dualistic relationships such as the interconnectedness between ‘pleasure and pain’ But what about this one? Descartes stated: “I think therefore I am” Isn’t this the same as saying “I believe that there is an actual “I” consciousness that thinks, therefore I exist”...

I also agree with Cory. Yes, quite a writing style, very subtle and articulate. I bet Cory is often imitated, but never quite duplicated. CP franticly writes down Cory’s post and tries to memorize it. “The memorization of knowledge is not understanding” Cosmic Prostitute PS: I stole that quote...

MKFaizi wrote: In your discussion of Socrates, you were contemplating when a human being should decide to stop his life on the basis of decline. Sometimes I go off topic, but some of other ideas explored relate to the original. however I do realize that sometimes I get a little scatterbrained, some ...

MKFaizi wrote: But I thought we were discussing a conscious decision to die when one senses that one's viable and useful time is up. That idea is far different from a life being sustained past brain death caused by trauma or cerebral vascular accident. I was considering both. But as you suggest the ...

Leyla wrote: Therefore, valuing that knowledge to keep me in solitude and out of trouble has little relevance to sagehood, I disagree, if you value sagehood then as a female you should stay clear of men that are rooted in the feminine. Leyla wrote: You don’t even know what the “feminine” is. F...

Come on Leyla: One has a direct meaning and the other has a metaphorical meaning, give me a break… I’m sure the kids at home will be able to discern a metaphor from something that means what it implies. You’re missing my point here which is most women are incapable of living a moral life, and ...

Leyla wrote: I’ll be sure to tell him that a woman is nothing more than a big, stinky hole rather than give him a rundown of male and female biology coupled with reason. Let me define big stinky hole: an entity overly concerned with outward appearance, and constantly insecure about that appearance...

Leyla wrote: I hate to make this about sex again, but: man, do you have some serious misconceptions about female biology. Either that, or your dick is about the size of a needle. Leyla I’m afraid both are true my dear. It quite painful to be a short sighted small dicked man. Leyla wrote: or on you...

MKFaizi wrote: Why do we equate age with insanity? Yes insanity occurs at every age level. However there’s a time when the body and mind shut down completely, but through medical science we are now able to keep the organism alive even when the brain is dead, and I’m asking what is the point? If ...

Socrates Quote: “If my life is to be prolonged now, I know that I must live out my old age, seeing worse, hearing less, learning with more difficulty, and forgetting more and more of what I have learned. If I see myself growing worse and reproach myself for it, tell me, how could I continue to liv...

NOX23 wrote: I am Enlightened and I still suffer. perhaps it works something like this, when one is alone in solitude, there is very little suffering, if there is no attachment. However when one is surrounded by frightened, attached unstable human beings, you feel what they feel because you are in t...

One common error that many of us make (myself included) is we believe one entity is the absolute truth, and we then allow ourselves to be inculcated with his meme. Then we spread this meme thinking it is the truth when in actuality it is only a personality fragment of another imperfect being. I have...

Matt wrote: I for one am always interested in how different people express things. I think there's a lot that can be learned from that. Agreed, understanding different ways of communicating the same thing prevents confusion. It is a skill I need to drastically work on. Leyla wrote: Who knows, if you...

I’ve recently realized that I have been misinterpreting Quinn, Solway and Kelly Jones. Many times I have disagreed with their arguments only because the language they used conflicted with my conditioning (language), and this is ultimately the cause of much of my resistance. But upon closer examina...

Leyla wrote: I do have a vaginal beard which I prefer to keep trimmed -- once every couple of months is sufficient. Shaving is just too tricky, and itchy. Waxing works, but it’s costly, and rather time consuming when you do it yourself. I seldom cut the hair on my head: maybe once every 6-8 months...

Cory Patrick, I’ll admit to you that when I first seen the pictures, I admired the big beards, and envied Quinn and Solway a bit. You see, I’m an unfortunate fellow, I’m rather geeky/baby faced, and unable to grow the big beard… But the big beard is something I have yearned for most of my li...

Leyla wrote:

It fucking-well is not! Jeez. I suppose you think my statement was rather placid.

Leyla, I need more words from you. If you disagree, please define the difference between boredom and anxiety in a way that isn’t vague/ambiguous.

Boredom is synonymous with anxiety. And we usually only feel anxiety when the body/mind has derived excitement from outer environment/intellect. So to free oneself from boredom, there must be freedom from all exciting activities outwardly and inwardly, What are possible sources of excitement? Pornog...
