First of all, nonduality is unprovable. Period. If science were to realize nonduality, it would first have to become self-conscious. This self-consciousness, would be a branch of science that studies science as a whole. This meta-science would have to create a theory of science. Its centralized identity. Then, newly-created branches would have to conform to this identity until stagnation. Then, a question would arise - is science that studies itself conforming to the identity that it created? After a long turmoil - it would have to admit that science does not exist and it has never existed to begin with.

I haven't drew a hexagram in a few days. Mostly because I learned the message that the book had to offer. It had helped me tremendously. Thank you @Zigzag Idiot . It would be great if you took care of the journal. I may post here from time to time.

What is that person made of? What does this person hinge upon? Like really, contemplate that. Write this stuff. This is your enlightenment theory. It's not enough to believe that there is no person. Sometimes a theory is a record of lies to be disposed. A record you need to write to see through yourself. If there is no single thing that this person contributes to the totality, then what does it even mean to be a person? And don't make the mistake Leo makes. You do not contribute that theory to the world. That theory is garbage from the start. Write that on a piece of paper and burn it down once you're done.

@Preetom

Really? There's not even an ounce of originality in you? If all you do is sit, that's just monkeying enlightened teachers and there is no person in there to become enlightened.

@Joseph Maynor Now that's a koan.

When is the right time to look at a watch? Do you look at the watch to know when is the time to look at the watch?

Time is a delusion.

Don't worry Joseph, you're a part of my harem. No need to be jeaous, mkay?

@now is forever By realizing that there was no suffering to begin with.

Can you? Would you? Have you not learned when you were a 'mindless' child?

It is. The purpose of art is to take a piece of yourself, work on it until it's beautiful and then discard it. Have you ever heard an enlightened master hammer the same thing over and over? If so, stop listening to this madman because he can't find himself beautiful.

If it's insulting, then you are misunderstanding it. It's a position said from a point of view of a person that is so spiritually pure, that this is the universe that he would create. There is no such thing as God, ultimately. Talking about God is a way to express yourself. It's like poetry, or abstract art.

@mandyjw Go ahead, start a journal. It has to have a good title though. Like really good.

@mandyjw It has nothing to do with believing. I'll be gentle .

@Key Elements Perhaps, I should have said: masculine.

@Key Elements I think that a magic wand may be a male thing when it comes to spirituality. You know... proving something to yourself to deem yourself to be ready.

That's no problem at all. It actually was kinda to the point. I was about to open a thread in the spirituality section where I would rip people to shreds. I'm still thinking about that.

@mandyjw What's the other book?

@mandyjw You really did read that? Awww, sorry to hear that You really are cute

@mandyjw Have you read Tao te ching? Try the "translation" by Ursula Le Guinn. I really loved that one. Other than that it's the overall feeling of this man. I love his style. The hat, the eyes, the chair, his hands, his facial expressions. He's really in there. You can always tell the depth by looking into the eyes.

No man, don't take that stuff seriously. We're just talking about male/female energy, that's all. Ralston is really good. I respect him a lot. Probably because I know very little of what he actually said and he made a big impression on me. I started resonating with Teal Swan recently. I should have probably answered Lao Tzu. I love Tao Te Ching.

@mandyjw I relate to Ralston a lot and I don't find him insensitive at all. He is a sadist, but to be a good sadist, one has to first direct that energy inwards and conquer himself. He really had to go deep into himself to be able to pull that shit through. He sees right through people. Masculinity is power exerted upon others. It is love of the self on the other's expense. Femininity is power exerted upon oneself. It is love of the other on expense of the self. I wonder what kind of energy I project. What do you feel/think?
