GENIUS FORUMS

If you are constrained only by your state of mind, you could impress me and everyone else - by becoming an infinitely small, inert, silent, elephant... for eternity.

And Nick, if I can be of service to you, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I keep waiting on Diebert who, I thought, I hoped , would grace us with more thoughtfulness and truth-units. Diebert is very coy, very Dutch . I imagine him sometimes, thinking tremendous virile thoughts, riding a bike along some canal somewhere amid green fields, spring flowers and bumblebees. And ...

Click here you naked, bipedal, big-brained APE. ______________________________________________________ "The extra energy gave the first cooks biological advantages. They survived and reproduced better than before. Their genes spread. Their bodies responded by biologically adapting to cooked fo...

Yet I'm tiring of it all. I keep getting this dreadful feeling again that I'm 'speaking' to deaf ears. Like it's time to pull up stakes and move to the next town. Well, if you wanted my two-cent's worth: you have to have a good deal more patience around here. Here, you have to have---literally---a ...

Well, you have either learned to type very, very fast, or you are no longer under a 30-minute library-computer gun. ______________________________________ 'rottenness of man' If I am not mistaken, I think that Nietzsche had the revelation that, verily, verily , all the very best of man was to be fou...

A Dane wrote: non-evidence for God, non-existence of God, as far as we can tell, there is no evidence he exists, the only choice that doesn't conflict with evidence left is that he does not exist. You rely on God when you die to 'save' you? :) A Dan wrote: Provide an even remotely decent argument f...

I held back---I really can be a humble ass when I want to or need to---knowing that, when the physico-mechanical spirit of the All moved them, the real geniuses who swim, jump and dive in this pool of brilliance would come forward with comments on your posts, brother Bob! You really don't want to ge...

Yes, many have ears to hear, but the key here again is to have a mind/heart that can deeply feel. A finely-formed mind/brain and sensory system. Intuitive mechanism, if you will. Which is either developed or destroyed in us in the early and critical formative years of life, and I'll address further...

My life was very easy before I started this, but the punishment I now inflict upon myself is Question More of What You Are, and Critically Consider What Others Regard as Superfluous. The punishment is in a lack of freedom to be myself, because questioning myself usually leads to more questions, not...

Diebert, the message you would inscribe into my flesh-consciousness, the punishment you would inflict, therefor, is Become Less of What You Are! Or, Cut Away What Others Regard as Superfluous! ____________________________________________________ Mr Michael, Thanks for your response. Will try to get ...

A couple of things. One, when visiting a donkey, don't talk about ears. Ha ha, I thought that was clever. Two, if anyone has "ears to hear" it would certainly be me. Ha ha again. I thought that was sort of funny too. They tend to say that there is a difference between the Jesus who grew up...

Is there a theist (both hominid and equine) on this planet who doesn't do that? Everyone claims to know the 'real' Jeebus. Brother Ataraxia, I offer my humble obeiscences before the flame of your intellect: To describe the 'real Jesus' one might start by eliminating the Jesuses that definitely ain'...

In that case a healthy crucifixion would be in order. It would change his tune for sure, once and for all! In the Penal Colony by Kafka (I assume you of all people have likely read it), the Explorer is given a tour and an intricate explanation of the functioning of the strange torture machine which...

I'm an ass and I have to point these things out? 1) So far, your references to "Jesus" are totally selective. Is't this obvious? Shouldn't this be set on the table right at the start? It is absolutely obvious that you make 'Jesus' into what you want or need him to be, which requires that y...

I have wondered if there is a relationship between A and A and nearly popped my brain trying to figure it out thanks to you people. We can and should apply our reason in all this: An ass is not a macaw. Nor is a macaw an ass. They cannot be confused and are therefor unalike . Ass (not equal to) Maca...

I would add to my previous post that in order for the Christ Spirit to enter and dwell in one's being he must also live Christ's basic teachings. Which I find are essentially as follows: One must be reborn or born again. This being in the context of having a radical shift or fall back in consciousn...

I find it's a matter of actually walking in Christ's footsteps, and as a result having the Christ Spirit dwelling within us. Which of course will of itself naturally flow forth in our every word, thought, and deed. And one will thereby also definitely be a true light unto himself and others. One co...

Whoever added this to Wikipedia seems to me to be largely talking from his own ass. And I grant you---from my own experiencilism---this is NOT a desirable outcome. If you have it in your power to avoid being an ass, do so. Some are constitutionally predispossessed to the asinine, a lamentable state...

From Wikipedia, Gospel of Thomas: The introduction also says, "These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke..." By using the word "secret" the author is telling you that these sayings are not for everyone's ears. These are the secret teachings that are only for a spec...

A male moth is not affected by the sex pheromones produced by a female ant, for example. A small correction---and I know a thing or two about both ants and moths since there is an abundance of both in my stall, along with spiders, flies, beetles, lizards, mice, rats, weasels, opossum, racoons, swol...

Wonderful thread, I feel, at last, like I've come home!

Carry on.
