Point A: Pre modernist, pre-buddhist, pre-anti-thought thought had a desire to survive as an assumed precondition. you refuse to argue about this. Point B: The nihilism of modernity is just a manifestation of Western guilt propaganda. you *want* to argue about this . However, 'point B' is not valid...

This is not a court of law. The burden of proof is on whoever wants to prove something. Modernist nihilism is all around us, and is thus, self proving. What I quoted you on had nothing to do with "modernist nihilism" or whatever the fuck that is (don't bother elucidating it for me.) You stated, wit...

It takes serious energetic potency and spiritual flexibility to do these things with any consistency. But most of these abilities aren't really under conscious control (profoundly high-end adepts excepted... maybe) -- you can *will* them to some extent, but it's not like thinking or pushing buttons,...

I had some fleeting experience with a few of them. Lightness of body, fleetness of movement, auric vision, astral projection (never actually pulled that one off, but got close numerous times), absolute focus/concentration, etc. I know this won't mean anything to anyone here, but they're a side-effec...

you're arguing that "coceptual/abstract thought" is a natural evolution, right? there are numerous arguments to the contrary. it's not that we had a predisposition toward thinking ; it's more likely that the self/other distinction (the crux of dualistic thought) was a sort of mutation tied to the ri...

What? This is a common view here. uh huh It sounds stupid when you take away the verbose language doesn't it? There's a reason for that. It's stupid. what you dismiss as "verbose language" is probably just points of refinement inconvenient to your rebuff. If you think I'm misrepresenting, tell me h...

Re: Milli
Millipodium: You brought up the size of your genitalia twice in your reply to DHodges when he speculated about your insecurity, even though the question of whether it was your penis you're trying to compensate for never came up in his post.
Your reply was very illuminating, thank you.

So. If you say 2+2=5 it just may be? Convincing oneself that what one WANTS to believe is the truth, IS the truth, is called a psychotic state, a perpetual hallucination, willful ignorance. It's the very antithesis of intelligence. the mind of an enlightened man is not thrown into disarray by parad...

There is a critical difference between the message a person is trying to send and the message a person receives. The sender has an idea which he interprets into words. The receiver then interprets those words into another idea. It is fair to say the idea has undergone two translations in its transm...

Re: kundalini or epilepsy
I just wanted to know if there is such a thing at all or is it a myth? Like anything else, it's phenomenological. You have to experience it for yourself if you want to know for sure. We, in the west, have no truly sophisticated/widely-accepted scientific vocabulary to properly convey the kundalini ...

Re: the fish shoots back
That's one definition. It also means "to become proficient with" which does not imply subjugation and destruction. You're blending two definitions, like I said. In Webster's that's the *13th* definition, and it's only one of two that doesn't specify control (the other being "master" as in "master c...

Oh I thought you meant the normal meaning of real. Like whether or not anne frank is a true story, or whether the lord of the rings is a true story. Well, that's as good an example as any. As my experience of Middle Earth is roughly the same as my experience of WW2 era Amsterdam. I know David Quinn...

Most have people would have experienced a number of these symptoms throughout their lives, but they don't necessarily become any wiser through them.
