  1. @Truth Addict It's not about the qualms of any particular user. It's about the forum's ability, as a collective ego, to self-actualize. Hmm, maybe I should have used the PM service instead, like you suggested.
  2. Here's an idea @Leo Gura, I wonder about your thoughts on this. What if you opened a subforum for meta-discussions, where users could comment on the actions of moderators? It would be a disaster in any place other than a self-actualization forum. In fact, it is a way for the forum itself to self-actualize.
  3. Deception is the ploy of words. Silence does not pretend.
  4. As I was saying - the only fruitful application of Metaphysics (and Theology, apparently) is deconstructive. Elucidating your petty imaginations about the Absolute for the sole purpose of seeing right through them.
  5. When it's done, you enjoy your peace until a seeker finds you. Then, you end the seeking.
  6. I would like to ask for your prayers for our friend @flowboy that is going through a difficult time in his life.
  7. @flowboy I'm with you man, you will get through this. Please don't be too hard on yourself in these difficult times. Would you mind if I asked for a prayer for you here?
  8. Being different - Tao te ching How much difference between yes and no? What difference between good and bad? What the people fear must be feared. O desolation! Not yet, not yet has it reached its limit! Everybody’s cheerful, cheerful as if at a party, or climbing a tower in springtime. And here I sit unmoved, clueless, like a child, a baby too young to smile. Forlorn, forlorn. Like a homeless person. Most people have plenty. I’m the one that’s poor, a fool right through. Ignorant, ignorant. Most people are so bright. I’m the one that’s dull. Most people are so keen. I don’t have the answers. Oh, I’m desolate, at sea, adrift, without harbor. Everybody has something to do. I’m the clumsy one, out of place. I’m the different one, for my food is the milk of the mother.
  9. Hahaha, more like children trying to explain how to listen.
  10. The fact that 'the ego' ignores the attempts to convey the truth is, in itself, in accordance to that truth. By trying to convey it, you are making a fool out of yourself (just like I am right now).
  11. This journal is a general space for tea parties, 80s music and random remarks about my life. Feel free to join, whoever you are. I gained a few kilograms after the holidays and I want to start a running routine. Yesterday was my first time after like a year and it was pretty miserable. At least I got to feel good about my body for a change. I like the stretching before the run and the day afterwards. I'm gonna start a routine for that too, now that I have to take care for my neck. Pain is the body's fire. I need more of it. The next run is tomorrow. Let's see how it'll go.
  12. Absolute truth cannot be conveyed. Conveying the absolute truth would require something to be apart from it, thus proving the truth to be relative.
  13. @mandyjw I prefer to stare at the Moon. That is how I get to see the Moon, the Sun and sometimes even the Earth.
  14. If you were to become infinitely conscious, you would understand the perfection of reality and you would have no inclination to change anything.
  15. You heard well.
  16. Creativity is the practical application of madness.
  17. Yesterday, my whole body was so relaxed and light. The feeling was something bordering between extreme bliss and pain. It felt as if I was looking straight at the sun, unable to look away from its blinding divinity.
  18. The ego 'has' a personality and tries to manipulate it to fulfill some goal. If you are able to perceive your personality, judge it, and influence it, then you are an ego.
  19. Damn, that's wise. Did someone coach you in the meantime, or did you coach yourself with your depression?
  20. @mandyjw Everything is true.
