Pye wrote: And of course, I deserve to be called out on this linear blip, Sue, and I was lazy in hoping that the narrative surrounding it would explain. Linear blip, eh? It looks more like fuzzy thinking to me - as did the “narrative surrounding” it. But let’s have another look and see if we c...

Still, someday you might yet understand.

Thank you, I hope to very soon. To help me understand, could you please explain what you mean by -

“To want ultimately the truth is the finest, the very finest, for it is the measure of everything. Past that…”

Jason wrote: It's also interesting that you can stare at a young child(say 3 years old) and they will show no negative reaction to it, in fact they tend to stare themselves. Leyla wrote: You ever just looked at a baby around, say, three to six months old? Generally, they are quite content to look an...

Jason, I’m going to break up our discussion into smaller bits – so as to look at some ideas more closely. Jason wrote: The benchmark I use is my own mind, my own reasoning, my own understanding of truth. External influences such as other philosophers can act a source of original and stimulating ...

Pye wrote: Even if I can take in the whole of totality, I cannot do this for everyone else and shall still and always find myself alone, no matter the size of the cosmos expanded inside. I am not in haste for my dissolution into it in life; death takes care of that. To want ultimately the truth is t...

Re: Talking to women about philosophy One of the main reasons why discussing Truth with a woman is futile is because she has at her disposal too many ‘outs’. As we know, woman is a parasite, gaining her goals and ideas from whatever happens to be nearby. This way, she doesn’t need to have a mi...

Leyla, When you see everyone as you , you do the best you can to help them on the road to wisdom. That could mean speaking out against the feminine or keeping interactions with others to the bear necessity when not involved in philosophical discussions. There are many ways to help others, but probab...

Jason wrote: Most people here would agree that the evil-eye is rubbish Kevin wrote: Anyone who is not enlightened has an evil eye. It is the eye that looks with desire, that looks for entertainment, amusement, beauty, etc. Looking into another person's eyes brings to the surface of your own mind unr...

It’s funny how we think other people exist. We can’t know for sure that they do, because it’s impossible to get outside of our own minds to take a look. Of course, it is plausible that there are other people – my mind exists, so therefore other minds could exist - it’s just impossible to k...

David wrote: Disgust (of falseness) can be a good thing, because it can motivate you to distance yourself as far as possible from the falseness of the world and drive you intensely to seek truth. Disgust of falseness is, in effect, an expression of love of truth. Leyla wrote: Yes, in a sense, it is....

Pye wrote: The purpose of meditation is to get to know the nature of your own mind. It's goal is to bring you into the present. That's where everything is. Jason wrote: So if the present is where everything is, how could anything( including yourself, abstract thought etc) ever be outside the present...

Diebert wrote: This seems a category error. The 'feminine mind' or a mind ruled by feminine values is not in the same category as what you call 'feminine existence', the world, the common life. That there's a strong relation I won't dispute. In what ways aren’t they related? I disagree with your r...

Jason wrote to David:

That's the exact opposite of how I define courage. To me, courage is having the choice not to proceed, but choosing to proceed despite being scared. Unless you are arguing against free will or something.

Have I understood you correctly - free will exists? If so - how?

AryReisin wrote: But I don't bet my security or happiness on her. I simple am happy and very very tranquil while being with her, and plan to be with her the rest of my life. Ary, it sounds like you do, “… bet (your) security (and) happiness on her.” Most people use others for exactly the same ...

Diebert wrote: To really define femininity, what an undertaking! Because it was you who described her as mirage, hiding anywhere in the universe, constantly shifting and changing benchmarks, not having a direct relation with anything: nothing but a puff of air. Don't you see that hunting her down to...

Leyla,

I’m a bit confused – your three children are taught by you to not be involved with other people – for what reason?

If the “rock throwing” episode was an example of “ordinarily love and friendship” - how would you describe family life to them?

Sue

Leyla wrote: Those who exhibit true masculinity (Consciousness of Truth) use their level of living in accordance with Truth as their benchmark in discerning their levels of masculinity (consciousness) and femininity (unconsciousness). Those who could be considered truly masculine (Conscious of Truth...

Diebert,

Before we go any further - could you please tell me what you think "the feminine" is?

Then - can you describe what you think I mean by "the feminine"?

Sue

Jason, Apologies are not necessary, as this is an interesting topic. I would never use another philosophers life(however supposedly developed they are) to see what needs to be done with my own. To me that would be guru worship, which is blind following instead of reasoning. Are you saying that no on...

avidaloca, Do you really believe that most people are rational enough to be able to judge who is, or is not wise? The old saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss", but anyone with a couple of brain cells to rub together would be able to see that that isn't the case. Ignorance is hell - and anyone...

Ras, I've a similar opinion of her, and of her work. I find her writing difficult to read, as it sounds like she has two or three people in her all fighting over what they want to say - so that the end result is fragmented and unclear. Yes, she has passion for Truth, but it is based on desperation a...

AgentB and Ras,

Kelly must have taken it down, as she is on a break from the Forum at present.

There are lots of examples of her thinking here on this thread and on others.

Sue

AgentB, Science, maths and engineering are all important for the development of technology; and as you say, without technology, the Internet wouldn’t exist. I’m all for the development of technology, and for men’s involvement in it, as long as those men involved realise that their tinkering wi...

Ras866,

I suppose she does have that 'confused sexuality' thing happening, yet I don't think it has anything to do with her being, or not being a lesbian.

What do you think of Kelly's Truth Paper?

Sue

The minds of people with high IQs are very similar to those minds belonging to really attractive people - extremely shallow and self possessed.
