There is another story which dualism used as logic as given by you. It is Kahlil Gibran's telling of 'Satan' in "Secrets of the Heart", who had fell wounded in a ditch. Along came Father Samaan who had, all his life, waged war against Satan, and heard Satan's cry for help. Going to the aid...

For me, I discovered : Notions of 'objective reality' were whimsical. That “All spirits, irrespective, are of the vibration of thought which an individual speaks upon,” Spirit as vibrations of thought, of actions then must become the new phraseology. It is something that definitely need be contempla...

Pam, your opening words are the keynote of this fable A story to inspire questioning what is true. The gist of the conversation, then, does not fall upon perspectives. If one sees truth how will they know it is truth? being a person of flesh mentality rides the ass of concepts, opinions, and interpr...

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvellous day today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells...

buddha wrote: Wait, why couldn't I empty myself? Is it that a bowl is always empty simply because it is not its contents? I get that vacuity is not useful, but what of emptiness in the topic poem? Also, what is "ones Soul identity"? No one can empty them self because no one did not filled...

It is a fallacy to believe the mind can be emptied in meditation because the mind is who the individual meditating is. The key to meditation is to slow down ones being so their thought body can no longer be dominated by the activity of the imagination which is "as a charioteer being drawn by tw...

Whatever we are, we express it. A broader view begins behind the statement Whatever we are, we express it. with the question; what conscious mind were you living before your Spirit entered into two merged consciousness' which conceived and formed that what we express'? In posing this question to my...

Pam stated At the core of any discussion, yours and mine included, is the truth that there is no objective separation between us. And that in staying true to the truth of absolute or divine (conscious) subjectivity, thoughts of objective separation (my opinion and/vs. your opinion) cannot arise. Thi...

Diebert, you can't reduce Spirit by deductive reasoning just as you cannot localize God. Understand that all conflicts must be settled within your consciousness, this is why I stated to if you declare deductive reasoning can add or take away from what is, Again, you are clearly not reading my state...

Being it is stated "Everything can be reduced to a bowl of something[" and "it's called "reductive reasoning" then reductive reasoning should pinpoint that "bowl of something" giving the reductive reason to reach a concrete conclusion to stand upon. I see no such ...

Be still and know. Not have knowledge of, KNOW. If you need more than that, how about 'be still and know I am God/consciousness/awareness/Self.' 'Nuf said? Or how about finding that quiet place with ones self is never about anything but Grace and Wisdom. It is always about stepping out of time, spa...

jufa: If humans could worship God, what need would there be for meditation? Worshiping God is an assumption of separation from God, something that is realized only when there is meditation (contemplation, spiritual or higher reasoning) on the impossibility of a duality of two beings, one that worsh...

. In truth, spirit or consciousness never stops expressing Itself, in truth, spirit or consciousness is never stagnant or waffling. Hui Heng's words via David Quinn via jufa via Pam are always now and new because there is no other experience but now and new. Everything can be reduced to a bowl of s...

Yes this tendency of the mind to abide, the will to rest somewhere, results in waffling to obscure the light, in words of others or our own. Such is the chicanery of the mind to make one think "The ' Moving Finger" does not write, "Having Writ moves on" knowing to abide is stagn...

Earlier I stated Nope, not going to allow you to change the subject. The topic is...The path to wisdom in a nutshell But you do not seem to understand this, and what's even more lacking is your ability to expand the very topic you started so the readers can see a light process to enlightenment with ...

I want you to know you concepts are no more truthful than any other persons opinion in this world. Ah, your motto is now cranked into top gear! Wisdom in a nutshell: Opinions do not exist. So lets get to the nub of The path to wisdom in a nutshell The path not to wisdom but of wisdom ------every in...

Your twenty years on this forum talking about enlightenment does not mean a thing to me. I've been talking about it way longer than that, but that only tells the readers everyone has their opinions. But the crucial issue here is you cannot direct a path to Grace and wisdom that fits the footsteps of...

[ David Quinn - "It does come out of my direct experience. That is why I posted it." There is nothing here of your experience, just your saying the above without structural background. David Quinn - "I have been defining enlightenment's base for nearly twenty years on this forum. A pe...

What you have suggested about spiritual path to enlightenment is poppycock. You have presented some other persons concept, which is not your direct experience, which means you are not telling the truth but speaking "with tremendous simplicity and depth" hearsay. You do not know if Hui Neng...

There is only one Nature, Being, Life. Life opens and closes words of determination according to man's interpretation of that which life has presented to them from the floor of materialism. But life is unconditioned and what circumstances, situation, whether environmental or psychological, are condi...

This post was mistakenly place in the topic "Self always create the problems for self." I have depleted it and posted it as a new topic. A bit of advice given to a young Native American at the time of his initiation: 'As you go the way of life, you will see a great chasm. Jump. It is not a...

Perhaps I have missed something about ideas being personal beliefs which are neither justified by politically correctness, religious, philosophical, psychological, educational, nor the world society because the collective whole do not accept them as anything other than group involvement, rather than...
