GENIUS FORUMS

It's just a Story. A conceptual overlay of a situation you got 'swept up' in. No, they were and they are real things that we have to live. And we have to deal with them. That is a stronger position, as I see things. You can't 'abstract' your life away. I also have pretty strong feelings, Dennis, ab...

Esteemed Diebert. But the question here is why do you constantly make me the subject of your own 'obsession'? Right now, at this juncture, with so many opportunities to speak in human terms about your own self, you are trying to get to the bottom of me. It's weird. But it is what you have done, cont...

I've come see Alex as more of a Jester than anything on this forum, clowning around with interesting literary styles, singing an endless amount of songs (youtube links), and supplies smiles and winks for everyone. But when he ventures into the real matters in which he has no business getting into, ...

You have to work within context, Tomas. It is either Franciscan or Jesuit (or totally secular). The colegio is adored and valued by the kid. The education is mostly secular with an emphasis on 'values'. The child was taken out of public school where the influences were not good and were starting to ...

Nobody on this forum has all the answers including me and you... My dear Tomas! Definitely not you! ;-) (Joke) I am 'different' perhaps because I see it. I am talking about it. That is a big difference. I guess I would call it a first step. It doesn't mean that we are not all in a difficult positio...

John, I don't even know how to respond to what you have written or what you write. Can you simply accept that our perspectives are not at all in the same field? We do not participate in the same planet even. I do not think that we have even one basic ground or point that we can agree on. What this m...

Alex, if you can't comprehend the simple notion of the subjectivity of consciousness then there's no point ever talking to you. Let me ask you this so perhaps we can move on and I can address the rest of your response: do you understand the proposition that a husband can never know if his wife love...

If only there were some people on the forum that didn't spend their time putting the other person beneath them and then complaining about the other persons ego. i never complain about people's egos! You've done two great things that will dramatically shift your status: one is to have taken your fir...

Elizabeth, might I be placed in the category of the enlightened? I am tired of being excluded! No one thought to send me a card on Enlightenment Day this year. But that's not what hurt the most...

Please let this rest, okay? Diebert, what I desire to bring to your attention is a fact that you are not able to look at, apparently. You have for a number of years--- years , son! ---had an obsession with me . You have called it by every other name except what it actually is. This did not crystall...

It's of course just a minor almost silly detail but it was meant as demonstration in the utter factual as far as the textual can go. The point is, you are doing this nearly every post, on every topic, textually, logically, interpretatively, half jokingly and so on. The same problem of not being abl...

But there are other possible angles. Just a few off the cuff: One, is that the 'masculinity' touted here is in itself defective, or perhaps incomplete. And IF that is so it leads to some deep questions about what exactly is being attacked in 'femininity' and in the female. But to investigate THAT is...

Diebert wrote:It's just a bit of pointless for me to expect much of this anymore. Not even to challenge myself. Please let this rest, okay? Lack of motive. Rest. Goodbye!

Lest we forget, Diebert.

No, that is not quite it, John. But on the surface it would appear that way. Put another way, the structure of view that you hold to about 'enlightenment' forbids that you see my effort in any other light. And so what I say is again that 'enlightened attitude' is possible and everything that may com...

John: Whoa, now you're bringing rebirth into this? Like, born in another body in this terrestrial hell-realm to go.through.it.all.over.again? You know that is a deluded interpretation, don't you? Excuse my comical bent but I am The Three Alexes riding on the back of A Talking Ass into the New Jerusa...

And Elizabeth, do you speak as one of the 'enlightened'? Or are you just repeating something you've heard? Would you be comfortable doing away with the category altogether?

Blurap: I don't think that I do not understand the philosophy in outline. I have read a great deal of Kevin's stuff, also Dan's, certainly David's, and watched the vids a number of times. I write 'against', if you will, the formulations of those who claim enlightenment. What they say, how they act, ...

Yes, I'd seen that video and others like it. And I think I understand, too, the basic outline of your philosophy. My main question was Who was sitting in the car and turned on the headlights?!? Was that Kevin? (Joke, just a joke). Really the main question I would have, and possibly anyone would have...

Diebert's 'obsession' in a nutshell! Nearly completely inaccurate but that doesn't matter. It is a sufficient rallying cry to set the standard for all consequent response: where the 'train wreck' is actually precipitated. Bravo! Service rendered to the Cause. As I said: And once again, this level of...

The 'immortality formula' is a big seller... ;-) The point is to work on becoming prepared for the eventual loss of all that one has come to regard as meaningful and significant, culminating finally with the ultimnate loss of one's own individual idenity. Many are very deep denial of these facts, th...

Whoa, deep!

Ah, yes: the 'special content' that is essentially 'beyond reason'. For you it is 'enlightenment', for another it is 'salvation'. I don't actually think it has a rational base, which is why it cannot be communicated, and why you apparently just have to 'geddit'! I have two questions: What essay or v...

Yep, 'the forum' in the most general way, is a forum or religious zealots. The term 'enlightenment' is interchangeable with 'salvation', and as with a Jesus Freak you cannot argue. Interestingly, rationality and reason, as with certain theologians, is just pretext. The realization and the knowledge ...

At the age of 17-18 you were 'held back', huh? Now, full upon 19, you speak from a mature height. There was once a 'Perfect Sixteen Year-Old Guru' who developed a long standing Sangha (still going). You will find many people interested in the wares you present. It makes no sense to you at this time,...

If you read less, you'd have more time to think, but that's not the aim of the game, is it? That was a nice opportunistic parry, Dan. Touché. And also a little defensive-offensive? We generally equate literacy with wide reading but it is true that there are many ways to 'know'. But too what you mea...
