"The highest intelligence and the warmest heart cannot exist side by side in the same person.....The wise man must resist those extravagant wishes of unintelligent philanthropy because he has a vested interest in the continuance of his type and in the eventual emergence of the highest intellig...

Moving Always has written: "Can I laugh my way out of this insane world of the Godman ego?" Most likely not. But it may help. What I would ask of you is to propose a viable alternative, not as a neatly-expressed verbal extraction, but as a way for an individual or a family to live in the ...

"Let the dead bury their dead, "when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out , the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and much people of the city were with here. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto here, Weep ...

A=A is the first principle of logic. The syllogism (expression of deduction, the basic reasoning structure) is a fuller expression of the law of identity (A=A). So every line of reasoning, including those using the scientific method, and less formed lines constituted by intuition, even those least ...

Alex Jacob: I would also mention, only because I find all this quite interesting, that from the sound of it, from the look of it, the QRS-K (D, you are in there to be sure, and R and N too) wish to utterly do away with that fact or that notion or the hallucination (take your pick) which is the Reve...

m/a: "Bob, I noticed you plucked out the last paragraph of my response to you, but completely ignored the most essential thoughts I presented, which was my challenge of your belief that you had attained perfection of Spirit." Let's say at times I attain to perfection of spirit. How's that...

For what it is worth to you, I have discovered that to have a moral conscience of wisdom of the earth is a critical step on the path of eventually stepping into the inner conscience of wisdom of the spirit, wisdom that brings the knife that cuts away one's attachment to the earth, precept by precep...

Alex Jacob wrote:And going a little further, for all that Bob's ideas are respectable and interesting in places, he sits in fine company here on GF among those who do not 'worship life' but who (seem to) worship death (disolution, atomization...)

Alex, tell me how life can die.

Agreement! Now, where in pure Spirit is there a question of why, what, when, who and where, as there is in the Spirit of the Son of Man of the earth that is you before me and me before you? The whys, whats, whens, whos, and wheres are all necessary to investigate and transcend in order to attain to...

The reality of the moment of depth realization that ideas are not the reality of oneself cannot be denied or 'taken back.' Once the ship has sailed, it has sailed. From that moment forward, the man who has been touched of this depth realization thinks differently. Whether he analyzes it from a posit...

Thanks for the Lao Tzu quotes, but I think I'll step aside and let you and Bob hash this one out... The only Lao Tzu quote I have any real interest in, since it contains little room for flowery monkey-business, is the following: "The perfect man is pure Spirit." Agreement! Now, where in p...

Bob Michael: Why don't we stick to the original topic here and discuss fullness of manhood or the lack thereof in the human species and ourselves, who make up the species? You needn't answer m/a, as I think I know. I'm not new to online discussion forums and all the cunning, foolish, and 'unmanly' ...

Oh how the darkness hateth the light. And how cunning and clever it can be in its attacks. Little has changed since the beginning of time. You, Bob Michael, were there at the beginning of time so that you can tell us, without arousing a shadow of good and evil relativity in your mind and in my mind...

To DHodges: If Descartes truly had received the fullness of Wisdom of the principle of Thought, he would have realized the reality of the scriptures of "no thought returns void" and "as a man thinketh, so is he; as a man continues to think, so shall he remain." To Carmel: The wor...

Your language makes it difficult to discern exactly what you are saying, but you seem to be referring to "I think, therefore I am" a la Descartes. This view, while striking at first, is flawed because of all the underlying assumptions about what existence actually entails. Descartes wants...

There is no perfection in the patterned world of matter, which means that no man, not even the Superman of Nietzsche is perfect. Jesus and Gautama were not Supermen of what is right, good and moral, for these are not absolute things, rather Jesus and Gautama realized that their thought pattern of m...

Patterning oneself after some of those who have gone before (us) may be of benefit for a time, But if we are to ever become pure or free Spirits we must go beyond all of the heretofore gurus, godmen, saviors, saints, philosophers, etc., since they have ALL fallen short of the full glory of the Infi...

One also needs wisdom discernment to pattern oneself after those who have gone before to light the way of being wisdom transformed. Patterning oneself after some of those who have gone before (us) may be of benefit for a time, But if we are to ever become pure or free Spirits we must go beyond all ...

To die to self while seeking wisdom is to seek for wisdom's sake, which is to seek for the sake of love, for the sake of righteousness and for the sake of compassion. Whatever wisdom comes of unselfish wisdom-seeking is given while in the physical, but it points always to The Whole of Self, which is...

My individual spirit revelations, of the continuum of this moment , are of the nature of the law of the Spirit of life to be the Spirit of Relativity, a relativity of thought's infinity that is expressed of the Statement of Conscious Awareness, I AM. I [Heaven, substance] is related to AM [earth, es...

movingalways: To summarize, your invisible, individual conscious awareness of Self does not die. A biblical metaphor that expresses this wisdom is "I and the Father are One." What does die, when its death is consciously embraced, is your visible conscious awareness of having or being an i...

One of the erroneous ideas of the separate self sense is that conscious awareness begins with the appearance of the physical brain. Wisdom reveals that this is not possible, for there must be a conscious vision of 'brain appearing' in order for 'brain' to appear. Matter does not create matter, appea...

The peace of mind that is the fruit of the wisdom "Know Thyself" is exponential to the attention given by the wisdom seeker to fulfill the activity of consciousness that is conscious realization/attainment of this wisdom. Wisdom of "Know Thyself" begins with a conscious intellect...

Ultimately, the only thing that is real is the absolute nature of Existence. The Universe we perceive and everything within it, including our bodies and our minds, is an infinitesimal period of the illusory cycle of asymmetric duality that eternally emanates from the fundamental paradox of this cau...
