Patriarch, Russell, And what was lacking in the first post? The best I can come up with to answer this is a question: Can you give an example of someone you might consider enlightened, and why? Ok. So, if you can't follow the conversation, what makes you think you can judge the participants? If you...

Sorry, I'm a little bit confused. I don't get why you feel his response was irrelevant to your post. He's stating a perspective.I kind of relate to that point of view and feel that it has a lot to do with experience.We are condemn to perpetually observe reality to the filter of our though systems.L...

Hi Movingalways and Patriarch: This is not about anything else apart from an understanding about enlightenment. I claim that there is nothing you can say about it that is true. The only way enlightenment is accepted is via the deep understanding of an enlightened person recognising it in another. I...

So nothing can be known, except for your theory? Can someone outline the rules around here, so I can know exactly how much damage I can do to him? If you had some consciousness of truth, you would have said "Can someone outline the rules around here so I use them to try to do damage to him or ...

"Enlightenment" is simple: it's self-awareness. Few people understand that concept of "self-awareness", however, so let me sum it up. Think of something you know. Be it your job, some hobby, whatever; doesn't matter, as long as you know the subject in and out - you've "mast...

Are you confusing objectivity of the sentient mind (factual statements, i.e., the lamp is on the table) with the philosophy of objectivism which theorizes the absolute/ontological objectivity of objects? Stating that most people are stupid, simple children that don't want to do the fucking work is n...

Patriarch, regarding these objective laws of truth of which you speak that shape reality (and by reality I assume you mean everything), is not the "human culture [that is] mostly obsessed with nonsense, cultism, and whatever other bullshit happens to being going on" not a part of this sha...

Let's define "truth" first; ambiguity is useless. By saying "truth", I mean the objective laws [which we assume exist - or what's the point of anything?] that shape reality, and that all things obey. That being the definition, why is human culture mostly obsessed with nonsense, c...

My fucking god; two people capable of attempting apology. This. This is a special place - and I wish I was being sarcastic. Russell, And what was lacking in the first post? Diebert, Well, that anyone can even admit to that being the condition [which most forums, especially those claiming quality of ...

Yes, I spoke too soon. At least you got a rise out of it! No excuses, please forgive my interruption. I assume your next post was addressed towards me. Other than that, and forgive me again, but I am really not sure where to begin in responding to this, if you are indeed looking for a response. It ...

Ha, I think I found the culprit: it was the word c-u-m within "doc-u-mentary". That. Was a tremendous waste of my time.

Sit someone down with nothing else to distract them, and they're likely to adopt it quickly -even instinctively- but the problem at that point is, as just mentioned, building themselves incorrectly. Ya, big issue. But add a guide? I theorize most people would be capable of it, but I wouldn't know: I...

You may want to consider your manners; some people are worth your time. Of course, others aren't, and it's best to ignore them; personally, I like proving they are fools before doing so - hopefully inspiring them to.. what's the politest way of saying this? Shut their ignorant, meddlesome mouths? Yo...

Ok. I'm done trying to work around the censor bot. Someone lift it's meddling, or find me another avenue.

"Enlightenment" is not a word one should use: having passed through public perception, it has been defiled with various connotations including the most common association of mysticism. But that's an entirely different topic. "Enlightenment" is simple: it's self-awareness. Few pe...
