Re: The Nature of Evil

For me, the next few years will be mostly psychology and relationships. Ditto here, but there is only so much that can be learned through the reading of thoughts and observations written by others. Granted we do not want to do a thing simply to learn more about it (for example, I spent a few years ...

Re: Intuition and the Wordless Nerve

Being real is how we learn. Does that mean 'throw a tantrum'? Spill your guts? Complain? Gossip? Wreak emotional havoc? Be a 2 year old? Get upset? It's empty. Yeah, it means just be yourself....by being yourself, warts and all, you can learn what needs to be worked on. If you hide behind some pret...

Re: Police State

Thanks for letting me know that it is a Florida law now that all insurance companies must rat-fink out their customers. Youtube video showing Occupy protestors being covered with a tent by police, some kind of gas used, and 10 minutes later the tent being taken down and the protestors are just - gone.

True cousinbasil - and these things are more disturbing still in light of the 1033 Program which offers free military equipment to local police, then pressures them to use the military equipment rather than stockpile it for possible future use. In other words, if you want some riot gear in case ther...

Re: Mistakes

Quite true Cory. I believe that this is the major reason why removing the ego as much as possible is important for wisdom. The second biggest reason would be to not make mistakes that one knows are mistakes going into a situation, but done anyway for egotistical pleasures.

The difference between a psychopath and a sociopath is that psychopaths were born that way and sociopaths were made that way.

One thing in particular that interested me was the discussion of psychopaths having no conscience.

Re: Despair

I just want to be clear - despair is a flaw, but it is also a critical part of the means with which to rid oneself of flaw. Disagreed. Despair can prompt reform, but so can aspiration. By assigning the value "critical" to despair, one forms an attachment to an emotion and feeds an addicti...

There are many different concepts of enlightenment, but at the very least, each concept either implicitly or explicitly contains a concept of maturity. Unfortunately that term is almost as difficult to universally define with complete precision.
