  2. Struggling Reading Ken Wilber

    rachMiel replied to BlessedLion's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    You may try enlisting the help of a good AI. It will know the book and know Wilber's views and help clarify them.
  3. Your spiritual path gradually opens you to the full(er) spectrum of experience, which includes light, dark, and everything in-between. It's like the palette of colors you have at your disposal to 'paint yourself and the world' becomes fuller. This wouldn't 'make you a sociopath' rather make you aware of sociopathic impulses churning around in your unconscious.

  5. Any fans out there of The Hunting of the Snark? Do you see it as pure nonsense/absurdity, as an allegory of the dangers of the Spiritual Quest, something else?
  6. rachMiel started following Snark Hunting
  7. Thought-forms definitely *seem* at times to take on a life of their own. The extent to which they actually do or not is worth exploring, I think. In another thread, wouldn't be appropriate here.
  8. rachMiel started following Is The Man From Earth The Best Film Ever Made?
  9. Loved the movie! Its form is like an awakening process: Just when you think you've got, you haven't!
  10. rachMiel started following God is not some woo woo unknown thing.
  11. “The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of the mountain, or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha - which is to demean oneself.” ― Robert Pirsig
  12. Does your Matroyoshka model allow for strange loops in which 'higher' levels feed back to (and influence) 'lower' levels?
  13. rachMiel started following Modes of Thinking
  14. rachMiel started following The character never awakens. Consciousness does.
  15. You raise the interesting and subtle question: Can a thought-form evolve independently from its creator? In this case: Can the I-construct evolve, mature, awaken? Does a thought-form, a tulpa or egregore say, have agency?
  16. Stories all the way up, and all the way down.
  17. rachMiel started following Story about creating stories.
  18. I yam what I yam and dat's all what I yam.
  19. I am no-body, no-thing, no-one. There is no story.
  20. rachMiel started following I am ...
  21. I am a network, a web, a process. A story!
  22. Panexperientialism says all entities have some degree of subjective experience, which may imply some degree of self-awareness.
  23. Maybe it doesn't have to be an either/or? Form (boxing) is emptiness (truth), emptiness is form.
  24. The ego is a tulpa that seeks to be God. Which it is. If it only knew!
