GENIUS FORUMS

I've got tangled with some difficult people, and the difficulties persist to this day. Entirely my fault. My issues are likely due to the fact that I try to express wisdom with my talent, and they have been correct to see it as ambition. I find an environment is friendly and cooperative as long as t...

One could go the other extreme. A front of megalomania and aggression will also ensure that people lose interest in attaching to you. Abandonment is preferable to prolonged sabatoge (people will sabatoge you over prolonged periods because they are attached to you). However, frightening people away w...

With a universe that is fundamentally consciousness/mind, we would certainly have less need to leave our rooms, no doubt. From what I've witnessed over the past 15 years, (synthesizing my internal state with my external) it appears there is a universal mind, or monad. This does not mean consciousne...

I see the world (earth) as very mechanical and linear from a particular perspective, and most people never escape the mechanical stream and are prevented from attaining individuality. They never escape the status anxiety, the alcohol, the competition, the literal mindedness. However, with enough sol...

Thirteen Unbind the rope that enslaves you. The relation to any particular form (any attachment) is enslavement. Form is fortune. Woman is fortune. Acclaim is fortune. These things have your hands tied behind your back. What would you be if you lost it all? Are you not terrified at the thought? So ...

Chapter 11 The value of both one and none are often overlooked. Those of a lower nature seek numbers, quantity. What is better, 30, or merely one? What about the value of nothing? Having consistent values, we all have to achieve results to some degree. We have to cause change. It helps to see how n...

Chapter 10 Separation occurs when desire climbs ahead of the greater will. This "greater will" could be a host of events that appear to interrupt or interfere with desire. Can you avoid dividing your ideal from what is actually happening? Can you embrace and meet events as they happen wit...

Chapter 9 To what end do you draw attention? Is it to glorify yourself? The people are oppressed by an attention whore. Magnetism is power, and such power wounds. Use this blade enough and the people will see your life as a means to an end. Stealing contentment from others, consciously or unconscio...

Chapter 8 The highest good is non-interference/acceptance. This good allows it's counterpart (the lesser good, fire). Not interfering and accepting what is, the various elements of the world (the carpenters, fishermen, messengers, scientists, technologists) find their own way, with only themselves ...

For those interested, I just put the finishing touches on the rest of the wave 4 layer. A Potentially useful promotion for someone out there.

A Greyface!

I agree. We should aspire to be in a state of play.

Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play.

March On, Cory.

Don't be Scared, Brad

Thank you, Kunga. :)

You keep walking brad Walker. Walk hard, and walk away.

Draw some Vital Energy from the Octagon I prefer pop . mmmm, yeah, you might be being sarcastic. There is some pop music I like when they don't lay it on quite so thick and succumb to emphasizing the human side so much. That song had some good sounds going in the intro, the artist could of easily p...

Chapter 5 Possibilities are ruthless. What is wonderful for one man to create, alienates and annihilates his contemporary. (On Heaven) Habits are ruthless. What is great comfort for one man is suffocating to another man. (On Earth) The people are destroyed unflinchingly both by forces of habit (ear...

Then again Kierkegaard wrote in Stages on Life's Way Depression is my nature .... My cunning is that I am able to hide my depression; my deception is just as cunning as my depression (….) The safest deception is good common sense, dispassionate reflection, and above all a candid face and an openhea...

What are you talking about, Kierkegaard is more Vital than ever!

Draw some Vital Energy from the Octagon

Chapter 3 - The jealousy, envy and shame of other people can be used against you, as it can provoke sabotage of all kinds. A man is often his own worst enemy, as he should know better than to put on too bright of a display, creating rivals, passive aggression and sabotage, all the while wishing the...

I have a question for you, Dave. Do you think we should expect people in positions of societal power to delve into these areas too boldly? I think it could easily cost them their career and family, and on some level they must know this. To lose such attachments by accident would be certain death. Y...

As I define it, goodness is a state of consciousness and self hood that is unconditional, free, whole, innocent and enduring. Where goodness is compromised, goodness is lost. Goodness is compromised through a lack of whole relation. This lack of whole relation is best exemplified through vicarious l...

Since I have high hopes for your writing, Alex, I thought you might enjoy Alan Moore.

Culture, Cult... what's the difference?

I have a very transparent online presence, available both on facebook and G+, and my parents seem to have no problem with the fact that I seek to dissolve the biological family unit. They didn't like it 10 years ago (before I even knew about GF), but they have come to find it rather funny, consideri...
