Damn. The ghosts of enlightenment past are not here so you are conjuring them up from an old radio show? Strikes me as pathetic. Conjuring? No, you are badly mistaken. It's probably your own sub-conscious causing you to think this. I do recall this statement from you in a post while ago: Where are ...

Re: All Thought is Sensual
All-thought is sensual, incomplete and therefore can only breed misery. Imagine you get into a car accident which destroys all five of your senses, yet you still remain alive. You can no longer see, hear, smell, taste, or feel anything. All that you have now are your thoughts. In this scenario you ...

The average person's perspective
Having developed my own wisdom into the depths of Truth, sometimes it's easy to forget how the average person percieves things, or how I used to percieve things. It made me laugh the other day when I thought about how the average person might react to one of the opening statements on a trascript fro...

Re: Return to the Womb
If the hunter-gatherer environment is as artistically nurtering as the author repeatedly insists, then how come the hundreds of thousands of years we spent in it produced nothing but cave scrawlings? There is this persistent meme of a Golden Age, when everything was easy, nobody had to really work,...

Truly, I am imperishable, infinite, and the embodiment of pure consciousness. I do not know how happiness and misery are experienced or who it is that experiences them. Either you really as stupid as you sound, intentionally trying to mislead people, or simply being a dick head. I think you really ...

Genuis Forum Memberlist
I was just browsing through the memberlist for the forum and something stood out. I noticed that two thirds of the members on this forum have signed up within the past year. I also noticed this forum was created in August of 2001, making it about five years old. That means that only one third of the...

Re: Forget Philosophy - The Pure Words of Enlightenment
I did not perform actions in the past, nor do I perform actions in the present, nor shall I perform actions in the future. Neither did I, nor do I, nor shall I enjoy their respective fruits. This is my firm conviction. #1 Prove it: You claim something and nobody here has a good reason to believe yo...

So, even when a female thinker arises, there are no guarantees that she will be able to stand the rigors of a philosophic life. She may well fall by the way side, as so many other men have done before – but only time will tell. - Sue In my personal experiences with people, I have yet to meet a Ma...

If so-called buddhists have strayed, then buddhism too has strayed for there is no such thing as buddhism without those who practice, study and transmit it. Unless you are claiming that all buddhists today have totally lost it, which again is a rather extraordinary claim as I mentioned before. The ...

If there is no ego, who are what gets reincarnated? Actually, the buddhist doctrine is not about 'reincarnation' of a permanent soul, since everything that arises exists only as a composite of interdependent causality. Perhaps you are not aware that everything Quinn lays out in terms of logic comes...

Well, if he is saying that about all buddhists and/or that the overall tradition espouses a view which obviously contradicts egolessness and emptiness, i.e. an eternalist or extreme view, this is a mistaken generalisation. I don't know how many buddhists Quinn has met, but there are quite a few in ...

Re: quibble
Although all the ins and outs of karma cannot be perceived by all except a full Buddha (supposedly), this is not the same as 'luck'. So by introducing luck, he departed from his hitherto impeccable stream of logic and insight. imho. He didn't mean luck as in pure chance that something good happened...

OK. How about this: Totality cannot be qualified by a 'the', as in 'The Universe'. Even though all particulars are more limited than any absolutes, any absolute neither contains nor does not contain any particular. Absolutes cannot be numbered. Absolutes neither exist nor do not exist. We can sit h...

In enlightenment, you see yourself as the universal male and female. Far far spread out from what the ego can perceive. As Purusha and Prakriti. If someone said to me to describe my personality, I would have to point to every person in every race in every culture in every time - then I would say th...

Any sites on the internet of males tossing their shapely balls around in like manner? I would truly like to see a similar web site devoted to men beating their meat as innoculously as these young large titted ones are doing in innocent fun.

Other mystical experiences are quite similar in terms of the quality of perception, but overall one should not value an experience because that is all it is, and once it's over it's over so one shouldn’t desire to have it back.

Re: Truth & Descartes
As for myself, I consider myself to be a Secular Humanist, from this does that make me less likely to find absolution ? if so why.. If you are satisfied with being a secular humanist, then like anything, it will not allow you to make further spiritual progress. The best thing to do is drop any affi...
