GENIUS FORUMS

It's better to be a piece of shit in the eyes of a goon, than a goon in everyones eyes. You made a pathetic showing of yourself in actually threatening someone with physical violence. The closest you'll ever get to genius is the first letter of 'goon'.

Read back to what it was a response to, brainiac! Kow isn't your mommy. Do you see what I'm saying? You don't post any substance. Are you really as thick as you come across? All that you have to do is read what it was response to. The same goes for the rest of your questions. Do your own fucking ho...

Kow, You have to work on your reading comprehension, Scott. Why? What did I miss? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Read back to what it was a response to, brainiac! Kow isn't your mommy. The same goes for the rest of your questions. Do your own fucking homework. As for your threat; you probably couldn...

You have to work on your reading comprehension, Scott. From the moment you asked 'Bo' those ridiculous questions, it was obvious that you were in way over your head. Welcome back though. It must have been quite a strain for you to play nice for the last couple of days.

Wouldn't that leave you unemployed?

Kow, I didn't really want a comment from you. I wanted you to not diss me pointlessly, avoiding any actual discussion. I got what I wanted... You, the self, are the reality of illusion, the what is right now. Truth/non-duality is what is only when it is manifest. Otherwise, it's just an idea. You'r...

Did you understand what I wrote? It was English, right? If you want a comment, then here it is: You, the self, are the reality of illusion, the what is right now. Truth/non-duality is what is only when it is manifest. Otherwise, it's just an idea. Iolaus , There's no point in responding to you. It ...

Beam yourself up, Scotty! Surely there must be a thread about killing people, that you could post on. ;)

Wow! Is that ever clever! At least you're consistent in your stupidity.

You guys don't like being called on your bullshit. Living in intellectual fantasy, ain't where it's at.

No. Duality is the movement called thought whose reality is the psychological phenomenon.

Kow wrote: David is confusing the manifestation of the non-dual with enlightenment. Although there is no enlightenment without that manifestation, the manifestation ends when thought again arises. Enlightenment doesn't mean an ongoing state of non-duality. On the contrary, I have been saying that e...

DQ: What do you spend your days doing, kowtaaia? Do you try and block out all thought from the mind and make it as blank as possible? K: Is this another one of those "turn of phrases" that Dan mentioned? Do you understand how ignorant the question is? Well, why don't you tell us how you g...

Who cares about enlightenment? What about truth, which IS nonduality!

There is no manifestation of the non-dual.

The state of truth is the manifestation of the non-dual. For you and David, the non-dual is just an idea. In your case, it's probably not even that.

I don't think I can get Nemo to do anything. Kow, Oh, so when the Buddha said: "The absence of thought is the state of the unconditioned.", he really didn't mean what he was saying! He must have been using one of those 'turn of phrases' that Dan mentioned. Don't ignore a true direct point...

kowtaaia quoted: Manjusri asked, "World-Honored One, what is the state of the unconditioned?" The Buddha said, "The absence of thought is the state of the unconditioned." What the Buddha is saying here is aligned with what he said above. "It is the state of no-thought, beca...

Thank you. :)

It better be dirty!

You guys are living in a fantasy. No one abides in emptiness.

The problem for you, David, is that even though you intellectually grasp that "ultimate reality" cannot be an experience; you want to be there with awareness exploding out of your head into infinity. Thusly, this ridiculousness: "I am a highly logical thinker who spends his days immer...

Hi Kunga. :)

David, You are caught in the Dzogchen trap and you don't even know it. There are just too many quotes of the Buddha that dismiss your type of nonsense, to even bother posting them. You are really and truly bogus. Here is one of the more profound pointings. The Demonstration of the Inconceivable Stat...

I still find your thinking very confusing. If we align non-duality with what "is", as opposed to the opposite category of "is not", then we undermine the very essence of non-duality. We effectively turn it into a dualistic phenomenon. Then, don't do that. The non-dual is a state...
