GENIUS FORUMS

There is a very real confusion, rife through all the pages of this forum, and among everyone who embraces the term, as to what in fact is being given a 'special value'. Some refer to it as a result of embracing a certain way of embracing conceptual models which they, strangely, define as embracing n...

Can you, or can Dan, name one living person other than either of themselves or someone posting on this forum, who holds to and embodies the 'enlightened state of existence', the 'realization' that you admire or represent? Firstly it doesn't matter how many people have gained such knowledge, but that...

Ooooooh. The Oedipal is actually a very interesting subject and quite germane here. Since you broached it I would toss it with the 'rebellion against our own selves', or against 'our traditions'. But to have it as a term here means to accept the influence of unconscious factors and to admit Freudia...

Gosh, Jupi, I feel I must thank you. You gave a little! Alex, it seems to me, has gradually come to realise the uncompromising, almost brutal dedication to reason that is required to gain even a foothold on the Way. And it has scared the pants off of him. Perhaps that's what his new "barbarian&...

Diogenes, in his mud-covered sandals, tramps over the carpets of Aristippus. The cynic pullulated at every corner, and in the highest places. This cynic did nothing but saboter the civilisation of the time. He was the nihilist of Hellenism. He created nothing, he made nothing. His role was to undo ...

I am not sure that he would use the word 'dysfunction' to describe the 'vertical assent of the barbarian'. I use the term as a means to point out what locks in a 'mass-man attitude' in certain persons and seems to keep them from growing. That is my basic thesis in much of my writing of a critical na...

Bobo, you ask 'I wonder where he is going to take from there'. I am not sure I quite understood what you wrote in that post, but I think I can offer some sense of direction he might offer, and why, in a general sense. My impression is that he tends to root himself in very tangible realms of thinking...

John-Seeker, it is enough of a System of View or a general orientation to be labeled as such. I assume there are various differences among everyone who adopts it. But what most needs to be pointed out is the structure of it which is based on this notion of 'seeing into the nature of Ultimate Reality...

I ask if I am 'succeeding or failing' because I know, and you know, you seek a sufficient enough excuse to ban me. You have asked for me to change or improve tactics of presenting oppositional ideas and I made the effort to pull out some text from transcripts where Kevin and David declare their comp...

Dan, let me know how I am doing. Am I succeeding or failing? ____________________________________________________ From the first chapter of The Revolt of the Masses: THERE is one fact which, whether for good or ill, is of utmost importance in the public life of Europe at the present moment. This fac...

This is from a broadcast called The Hour of Judgment, 1995. The title you have to admit is a little clever. David: Welcome again to the only radio program in the world which deals exclusively with Truth, The Hour of Judgment. I'm David Quinn - sage. With me is Kevin Solway - sage. We are sages becau...

That is a very good question in fact. The way I am using 'dysfunction' is somewhat atypical: on one hand I refer often to inner defects, or character issues, blind spots and such. But there is another aspect and as I move into this I see it as a peculiar intellectual defectiveness which is based alm...

Dan I'm glad to see you don't participate in the same over the top antics as solway. I swear you can't go 5 minutes reading anything from that guy without a personal reference to himself as a zen master or the greatest writer alive. Inadvertently, you have hit on a very interesting point. It goes l...

Does religion have a point? If so, is that point still relevant? I was reading some Karl Barth theology: an endeavor of a certain intensity for the denseness of his ideas (in this case a long commentary of Romans). In describing his notion of the Incarnation he used the example of one 'wheel' of fo...

There are numerous levels to the notion of 'religion'. You would have to define what level you are speaking to. Effectively there is no man alive for whom his 'religion' is not his very interpretive structure, or lens if you wish, of his existing in this plane of reality. I say that every person has...

You clearly have no idea what it means to attempt a clear representation of ultimate reality through language. To actually say something that is true, something that accurately reflects the universe or consciousness, rather than to throw out hundreds of opinions. It is not so much that I 'don't kno...

Sure, but what's the message being passed? How would you *explain* energy? I thought that was the one thing unknown and possibly *unknowable* by physics.

Hmmmmm. I will take it that you are agreeing with me. No problem therefor! Do you have a way of talking about 'energy'? Why must energy remain unexplainable?

Yes, I see your point, Pincho. Thank you. While we are discussing this I hope that we can clear up the following: I wish it to be clear that as it pertains to presence on the GF forum that I am the undisputed Bull Goose Loony of the forum, to borrow a trope from McMurphey in 'One Flew Over the Cucko...

A woman's vagina has as much personality as her face. I don't want to let the question, or the problem, of Leyla's pussy fall by the wayside. I really really agree with Larry on this question. If I were to attach a face to [my imagined vision] of Leyla's pussy... Hmmmmm. Let's all think on this. Wh...

That's hard to say at this time. I see John as a literary neophyte. i.e. he's pretty new at trying to express his understanding in text and he's got a way to go to be really effective at it, or indeed in properly delineating arguments. But he's getting better. I'm not prepared to make a judgement, ...

lol, does anyone actually know Leyla is attractive at all? Or is it all a result of a philosophy forums greatest fantasy? may as well be honest, the concept of a hot philosopher girl is hard not to cling to. Me like how you mind work, l'il bro! There is no sense in dreaming about a tight pussy if y...

Haven't we been here before? And by we, I mean either Dan or David having this exact conversation with Alex? It's almost become an annual event at this point it seems to me. I predict a few more pages of back and forth, Alex will get upset umpteen times, and it'll end in his announcement of a tempo...

If it is not a 'philosophy' and not a 'religion' and not a 'science' then how else except as Absolute Truth (a term I cannot in honesty use) should one call it? When I refer to *it* how shall I? The Way? Help me out here...

I would gather that you, Dan, might accept some of what John writes as true, but that you would disagree---possibly strongly---with other parts and would be forced to call them 'deluded'. His notion (if I understand it rightly and I am not at all sure I do) that death and dying are illusions in a mi...
