Why??

what do you think of Gurdjieff so far? I've been meaning to check him out I have read Gurdjieff before, and read much about him. He is the real deal, do check him out. also is that u in your avatar, or no? Yes. I was thinking about removing it, nobody here has their photo as their avatar, and what ...

Gurdjieff, "Meetings with Remarkable Men".

I notice that on your list of things to "let go" - namely, conceptions, self, and mind - there is no mention of emotions, love, family, pleasure, sex, life, etc - all the things that people normally enjoy very much. Does your "letting go" extend to all these things as well, or a...

Isn't truth generally regarded as a hinderance to getting fatter?

It will be something about that Enlightenment for Beginners post she made. 'That Enlightenment for Beginners post' was me block posting a 400 year old essay that I have found useful. I have no wish to explain no-thought or anything else to you under the guise of defending someone else's ideas and p...

That is exactly the problem when talking about anything at all here, like enlightenment, truth and so on. What kind of approach would you suggest instead? Some new-speak? An intelligent one... one that examines the data and formulates the most useful response for it, rather than applying the same a...

For a group of people who think so little of "woman," certain GF participants certainly do spend a great deal of time talking about her. It doesn't seem to me to be too much of a mental stretch (particularly for a group of people claiming to be so terribly clever), to comprehend the impli...

You probably wouldn't believe this, but I have no reaction whatsoever to women. You must mean something other than the obvious by this, because here you are reacting to me, etc. Aside from the residual chivalry, such as opening doors and other stupid shit that's been ingrained since I was small, I ...

Abusive words followed by hugs and kisses. The typical conditioning work of women, scold then affection- it keeps many men in a tizzy their entire lives. I think you'll find that the 'typical woman' works the other way around... first the affection, then the claws. This has nothing to do with me, y...

Oh, they allow you to get away with using people to preen your feathers while calling it exposition of truth here? Good for you!

hahhahah

Bizarre and creepy insight into sovereign brain.

A way, road or path is by definition a direction; it can be traversed in two ways. Closer to the goal or further away from it. The goal is the direction itself: truth. Sure, this is a nice description. there are only a few humans who have even begun distinguishing good and evil when it comes to tru...

I interpreted the kisses as deliberate cynicism, considering all the context. Perhaps a feeble attempt to show "infinite capacity for giving pain"? Good heavens, how hilarious... I throw 'xoxox' on the end of a post and a bunch of fellas get their panties in a bunch and start talking abou...

(Leah's) words are vain. She appears to have no grounding in reality what-so-ever, making it fairly impossible to take anything she has to say even a little bit seriously. This is the reason I can't even begin to address anything she's said to me, she's so "out there" not even the most po...

Leah, you are a jaded woman who looks to deal emotional hurt, giving hugs and kisses while you degrade. A typical feminine tactic, don't you have something better to do with your time? Because I am a woman, you catagorise my behaviour according to what you think you already know about women. If I w...

Nevertheless, along the way stages could be discerned. Along the way to where? What is the stage after the last stage you have a name for? For every one that partakes of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe; but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of ha...

If you drop the mind you can see the mind. Such statements often refer to meditative techniques that can create the appearance of observing a 'flow of thoughts' or 'witnessing the actor'. While it can be helpful on the path of self-inquiry it's often forgotten that this is just another mirage. It's...

I can't even begin to address this due to how badly you have misunderstood me and everything I've said. I'm honestly sorry I have nothing to offer you in return. Nick, Your treasures are pond slime, rub them on your face, dwell in your hole, you are the big brave king of your hole with pond slime o...

Fear of letting go. What is 'letting go'? Letting go is dropping your conceptions, dropping your self, dropping the mind. Trying to let go of these things is itself a form of fear. All semantics, nevertheless... "Let go" is not "move away from". Not when used as I intended. &quo...

The title of this essay, Essentials of Practice and Enlightenment for Beginners , will put many of you off immediately... if you wished to know whether or not pride was strong in you, one way would be to observe yourself react to being presented with an essay entitled such as this one is. It is imme...

So I continue killing my self ... I assume that you are probably very set in your ideas, Nick, being so full of piss and vinegar and showiness... and to even get a gist of what I will be talking about you would need to deliberately loosen your grip on your convictions, which would mean you would ne...

You can help people with kindness and stuff, and that's great, but without wisdom all you can really do is manipulate appearances. It may help in the short term, but working towards a long term solution is a wiser way to go in my opinion. True compassion is not motivated by anything. True "hel...

Leah, You're confusing the ego with the mind. The ego is that false sense of self with which we are indoctrinated from an early age. Being a fictitious entity, an illusion created by deluded views, it needs constant affirmation of its existence through things, both internally and externally. These ...

Reason is a wonderfully beautiful thing, an immensely powerful tool, that can lead you, if you are very, very skilled in the practice of it, to here: "The horned rabbit and the furry turtle cross to nowhere mountain." This is a description of a zenith reached via reasoning, spoken by 16th ...
