Why would we stop shifting 'our energy' around? What ever could make us going against that flow? And why does Unknown keep going around posting such questions? Can it stop that urge?

Yes, why does he keep reacting to what is said on this forum? Why does he keep doing what he accuses others of doing?

Is this the comedy hour?

Question is not about me(I do not exist). It is about you. you fail to see its you and the question. Instead of you dragging the imagined me to validate your reaction.

You all monkeys always do. You all are possessed by what you see. And thinking that is the reality. fools.

stop the reaction. you may have chance to know who you are.

There is no reactor or reaction. It's all in your mind. Let go of your delusion & you will find peace, Unknown.

How can it be about me? I do not exist.

So how do you validate your own reaction?

The problem with you all monkeys is you keep imagining everything around you. At the max all you can do is talk in circles.

SImply because you are all imprisoned with words. You can't get out of it. You never will until you are able to see things do not exist.

Unknown - As demonstrated - The answer is 'No they can't help but react".

I was hoping that people would ignore your post but their egos would not allow it.

["We don't have ego's we are all enlightened" - obviously]

As for the people who reacted to such a stupid post - I'm also interested to know why you humoured him?

You accept his theories on such shaky evidence? It seemed that people were reacting to his post as they react to any post on a forum designed for posting. Nothing special happened here. In fact, all I saw was a pseudo-philosophical dork making the most inane of predictions and observations in an attempt to devalue both humanity (e,g. "you're all monkeys", as though that statement carries any weight) and clear thinking (eg. his first post, where he told people to forget everything they know before coming up with theories, as though that's a good method of coming up with stable theories). In the indifference found in the replies, I saw him failing miserably. Nobody cares what he has to say.

In the end, the only surprise is that someone (you, Russ) found his posts sufficient to prove anything at all.

I do exist.
I have an ego.
I am not afraid of myself.

"Why do you react to people? "

Why is the eternal learning.Never completing.
Doubt fertilizes in the virgin soil.He is no longer fearless but a coward to difficulties,his very learning is fear.
He who has no knowledge of his extent accomplishes with ease.

The criterion of action is freedom of movement,timeliness of expressing,pleasuring.

If no one reacted to stupid posts, the forum would be a much quieter place. Unlike Unknown, I believe in reaction. Through reaction there can be stimulation of the mind, and through stimulation of the mind there can be insight.

Unknown has been on the forum for a long time now. He's like the class clown. Every now and then he wheels himself out and accuses himself of not existing. We chuckle, of course, to which he reacts by accusing us of reacting, and then he goes away again. It's almost become a ritual. A little light relief to break up the more serious conversations.

Don't misunderstand my point. I think in most cases unknown just likes to provoke the forum. His post proved that people would react (care to disagree?).

The motivation behind the reaction interests me. Most visitors to this forum are looking for either:

a) somewhere to air thier theories ....and no-one can persuade them they might be wrong
b) someone to tell them what is right

Both of these do not exhibit a real desire for independant thought. People reacted to unknowns post. I'm sure you all have your reasons including Davids.

If you know unknown is a comedy act why respond?

I think "Why do you react?" is an interesting question indeed(despite where Unkown may or may not be coming from). Question your motivations for what you are doing here writing or even just reading this forum, or even when interacting with people in the "real" world. Question you motivation for reacting.

Why am I responding to this? Is it because I need to feel right? The need to learn? The need to get the last word in? The need to tell others what is right? The need to be dominate? Am I perturbed or angry or annoyed in some way and that is why I am responding? Do I think the world would be slightly better if I respond? Would it perhaps be better if I don't respond?

All things are automatically reactive things. As all things fall under the cause and effect process and are interconnected, it is impossible for all things, our conscuiousness included, not to react to each and every experience. This is what existence means - reaction.

The key to happiness seems to involve specialisation. Cut out conscious level rationality and you get the bliss of ignorance, cut out conscious level emotionalism and you get enlightenment.

Well, this is a discussion board. It can only function if people react. So his proof, such as it is, is rather redundant.

Unknown is like a person who goes to a lecture and shouts, "Ah ha! The lecturer speaks and the audience listens. Ah ha!" It's entertaining from a comic perspective, but I'm not sure that it contributes anything philosophically.

However, reacting to it can stimulate the emergence of more substantial discussions, such as the discussion the two of us are having at this moment.

The motivation behind the reaction interests me.

a) somewhere to air thier theories ....and no-one can persuade them they might be wrong
b) someone to tell them what is right

There are others who come here for the right reasons. They are sincerely interested in becoming enlightened and comprehending Reality for themselves. It is for these people that this forum exists.

People reacted to unknowns post. I'm sure you all have your reasons including Davids.

It doesn't really matter what Unknown's intentions are, or what the quality of his posts are like. You can still have your own reasons for responding to what he says. People are capable of independent thought.

You all are frigging LIARS.

I have n't seen one honest answer form any of you. Humans invariably reacts. Thats everybody knows. it is not question about general issue. It is localized.

You are all fail to see why you are reacting. Thats real bad.It shows you all are Teens.

Most People are here because they have something to say. They have boatload of opinions. After their puke, is it over? why do people like quinn keep babbling ? Humans wants everybody likes him. That way it is easier in his brain.

The enitity unknown do not exist.

If you really see , i have n't said anything to help human life. What i say do not exist as well.

One thing exist though. You are. You all are my puppets because you exist. As long as you exist, you have to react.

You should n't learn anything from me. If you learn something , that is offensive to yourself and your ego.

Everything you do , it is because of you. you change because you wanted to change to protect your....

If there is something you want to learn , that is there is nothing to learn except your reaction to imagined things.

peace

I don't react! I create. It's all of you who react! You friggin, reactionaries! Unknown doesn't react, not even to the movements of his own mind which drive him to post here - because - yes! you guessed it, he doesn't exist!

Anyway, comedy hour is over for me, and sadly, that means for you guys as well. This thread will be moved to the brothel and Unknown, who doesn't exist (but keeps appearing to tell us so) and therefore can't possibly care, will be banned.

You have 24 hours to convince me that this kind of comedy is worth tolerating.

Make it good, guys; make it real good.
