Re: A=A
I can't tell you how heart-breaking it feels to have to read something of such an awful nature. It's like I'm being bludgeoned by an old and rusty knife! A word of advice: use salt.

Re: I don't understand...
Trevor, I've been lying and cheating. Mostly to myself. I'm arguing as if I know what I'm talking about, but the sad truth is that I don't. I mean, I do have some vague inkling of an idea, but it doesn't qualify as something which I can use to effectively reason with... I think I've been trying to s...

Re: Elusive Knowledge
What others think of your reasoning may not be accurate. I can sense (at times) how my reasoning is inaccurate. The problem with this line of reasoning is... paralyzing to say the least! Once I let that possibility into my consciousness (that I'm wrong), then it automatically opens a door for other...

Re: I don't understand...
It's significantly more frustrating when I think you have no clue what is going on. I'm genuinely making an honest attempt at figuring it out (hence the name and posts). I've read parts of "Wisdom of the Infinite" (by David Quinn) and it's very interesting, but I'd rather not fool myself ...

Re: I don't understand...
All things exist in relation to other things. So it's true to say that the reason you exist as you do, is (for one) because of someone getting killed in another country. It could not be any other way. That's messed up, but it's a valid realization, is it not? So, how was that obscure? More like mea...

Though, I'll give you this much: there maybe absolutely no hope for people who ask or pay attention to such dumb questions. This definitely separates it all, quite clearly.

Re: E-sangha
My reasoning is this : [...] Someone blustering in and fearlessly speaking the plain truth might just be enough to make them see a little light and give them some confidence, before their light is snuffed-out .

Re: Elusive Knowledge
What does a complete definition for "philosophy" look like? I've never met a person that does not think. They may not understand what I'm talking about, but that's because they have their own thoughts to worry about and I have my own. For some reason, I don't go around thinking that I know...

Re: I don't understand...
You're disappointed that I was able to get to the root of your beliefs? No, because I gladly told you my beliefs. Another belief of mine is that I believe that beliefs should be discussed and inspected - you have yet to prove yourself as useful in this regard. What do you want, a parade and firewor...

Re: E-sangha
That makes you look like a saint (haha) and someone who wasn't just looking to ruffle as many feathers as possible for personal pleasure. Hard to believe. Reminds me of Mother Theresa - in fact, it was this place that made me see her in a less then perfect light - takes one to know one? You know, yo...

Re: Elusive Knowledge
Til you're satisfied that there is no possible way to falsify the truth. One might not be able to falsify it in oneself, but the trick is to convince someone else. If this cannot be done, then I'm afraid that I'll never be satisfied. There are many, many variables. What if one wastes most of their ...

Re: E-sangha
If it's not about finding out the truth and nothing but the truth, then it has to do with sustaining ones ego, etc... Aren't most internet communities used by lonely people and those whom are looking to socialize and make friends. In that case, it's no wonder people behave in this way. They're scare...

Re: Elusive Knowledge
What if something is learned subconsciously and the person has a hard time explaining it on a conscious level? Some might say that it would be a waste of time to relearn something. Arguing/debating seems to rest on this principal. Many people say that arguing and debating don't solve anything and th...

Elusive Knowledge
Let's say that there are two types of knowledge: regular knowledge and esoteric (hidden) knowledge. Regular knowledge is a type of knowledge which can be taught in school's (ex. mathematics). The process is a step-by-step process; starts from something simple and obvious and gradually becomes more a...

Re: I don't understand...
Trevor, Take a look at a small solid object in the room you're in (computer mouse, etc). That small object is what I call real. It's there and there's nothing you can do about it, unless of course you look away or start to hallucinate. Now, close your eyes and visualize that object (an induced hallu...

Re: I don't understand...
Trevor, up to now, this discussion has been disappointing. I'd like to change this. I don't believe that there is a single question you have asked me that I have not answered completely. You: how are things divided? Me: senses and perceptions? This is the other side of the coin; if the above sentenc...

Re: Dalai Lama and Dorje Shugden
And to think that the solution is so simple!
Anyone can criticize, but not everyone can come up with a solution. It's as it should be, right?

Re: The human tendency to take things to their perfection
OK, let me get this straight: when people post threads about the masculine and feminine, they're not actually criticizing others (judging others), rather they're judging themselves and identifying all these traits (positive and negative) within themselves, right?
