GENIUS FORUMS

We all know knowledge is endless and expands out to infinity. My question is: Is there a bottom? By this I mean: where does it all stem from? Another thing, the more in-depth one delves, the more the original information changes. People seem to be on different levels. This doesn't necessarily mean one is less intelligent, then another. If so, it's hard to tell, because quite frankly, intelligence is very complex. More so, then we'd like to admit, or can possibly understand. People seem to have different purposes or meanings when asking a question. I've noticed people defend their original post without changing the original meaning. They don't seem to learn from a response, instead they seem to reword the original meaning and be satisfied. Or, they don't want to understand the other person, because they feel they are right. That is why we post...Is it not?

A child is pure in its motives, all it wants to do is learn. The ego, is virtually none-existent, they view everything with curiosity. This sounds like a characteristic of true enlightenment does it not? The higher the knowledge and understanding one feels they have, the larger the ego and closed-mindedness seems to be.

Bullying. It has many forms. Why does it happen? What does it accomplish? Is it worth it? No. As I have stated bullying has many forms, the purpose, in essence, is always present. Just like crying in children, has been linked to swearing in adults. So has bullying. but in a different form...

Selfishness.

What's the point here...? You decide.

The insanity of it all...!

I agree!

...It "seems" impossible, to completely think things through. If I did this, I wouldn't have much to say...Ever. I wouldn't produce "fruit", because I'd be too busy growing. Conclusions, which are thought through, however inadequately, may be seen as right or wrong...Who's the authority in this? One can stick with a wrong conclusion, while another sticks with a right conclusion, without much agreement, without one being able to convince the other. There is something wrong here. They both think they're right, but they each have opposite views, so one must obviously be wrong. There must be a way to convince the one who is wrong. You cannot assume, that the one who is wrong thinks illogically. This is, because evil, however ultimately wrong, has reasoning...It does, once one is inside.

Even if the one who is wrong, thought farther or deeper, then the one who is right. So, the one who is right, can therefore be said: "to be lucky". Sometimes there is to far a distance to be certain "so we jump to conclusions"....AND blahblahblah.

Have I gaven you a glimpse, of whatever I'm going through...?

Have you ever been through something similar? How did you find your way out?

I guess this is something we all want to avoid: confusion.

Ralph,

You desperately need to get control of your mind. Your posting behaviour is utterly manic. This is not a sign of a sane person. You seem intelligent but your posts are conceptually and linguistically and emotionally untidy. This indicates an untidy mind. Relax and focus on one issue and get an understanding of that. Enthusiasm is great, but unfettered and undisciplined it is mental gibberish.

He's right, Ralph. You need to slow down.

Thank you for the kind words.

A-B-C-D-E...

If I skip B and D, I assume, you still understand its meaning. So, A-C-E. It's exactly the same point, only less tedious. One is step-by-step-by-step-by-step-by-step and the other is, step-leap-step-leap-step. The two only equal each other, because we know what it means. We know this through contemplation. Someone shows you:

A-B-C-D-E and A-C-E.

You automatically know what's going on. B and D are missing from the second set of symbols, but the meaning still holds true for both...In some cases..."!"

I think I just blew a gasket. I think I'll turn in. Goodnight.

As to what you said about knowledge, what kid of knowledge do you mean? If you mean empirical knowledge about the details of phenomena, isn't it obvious that this is a never ending process, in part because of the evolving nature of phenomena? If you mean knowledge of things ultimate, how can not be something that contains finality and completeness?
