Not to be fighting phantoms. Perhaps a guide on acceptance and how to live. Might be the opposite on enlightenment though, with talk of death.

Release or TP.

@daniel695 He doesn't like you.

Yes, the two figures walking away in the background are interesting, even though I and most people probably think of the face. I think one of the copies was stolen a while a go. Never really looked at the painting before just heard about it in the news a fair while a go, I should probably take more interest in art. Was actually at the place of one of the owners of the painting in Norway, very briefly. Stayed with some fairly crazy people for a while, when I was backpacking.

@Roman Edouard Lots of successful people never finished school. Smartphones can be ace, even if you can't concentrate for long, you can still listen to audiobooks on your smartphone. If you had the qualifying paper would you still be there? Probably moral sentiment keeping you there.

@TheBeachBionic If a thing has legs, some guy will do it, dead or alive. But why are you degrading yourself to a piece of meat? You're not trolling are you?.........

How good is life?

@NoSelfSelf Practical stuff for things like backpacking, while navigating? Or deeper metaphysical shit, at least in my mind. Comms is pretty essential. Make sure you have 3G, some countries in Europe can be pretty funny about cellphone data use sometimes, although any Islamic terrorist probably knows the system well enough. Sometimes countrys won't be covered if outside of the EEC. Travel light.

Psalm 22 - I think Dogs refers more specifically to dogmatists. Straight from the unicorns mouth... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. 11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

@Zeldor i understand enlightenment? No,... you don't.

I want reality Or Being, whatever, to be other than it is and I don't want to pay for it. I want to eat ice cream sandwiches and not get fat. I want to be ripped like a sports model and not workout, or diet. I want the laws of physics, to be different for me, when I want them to be, then not be. I want people who have read at least a 100 books of world classics, to be on the forum, but make an exception for me. I want a massive extraterrestial invasion to occur. I want, not to want. Even though I might not know what I want. I want my EGO to be supreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPREME!!!!!!!!!!! I want a Pony.( What the mongols had them and they were badass, therefore badass) An invisibility cloak would be fun. I want one.

Might have been Rand though.... , which would be funny thinking about it, not entirely sure.

Guys? What like spitroasting? Or something else.

Good for you. Old chap. Nothing like some good old child caging, straightout of chitty bang bang.

@Leo Gura I don't really care if Trump is a moron or not. He's funny and amusing to me, and that's enough, illusion or not. More interested in psychological cues to look for better teachers or examples, something to grow.

@Daydreamer What's your favourite Guru and Why? Favourite philosopher? Or you off on your journey?

Day Tripper one way ticket yeah!

@Leo Gura What if the fool is the closest to the truth? The fool being the only person able to tell the truth to the king? Perhaps like in Hamlet, skull and all. Warton Business school. Capable of stringing more eloquent sentences together, but doesn't, would he have got elected, if he didn't at least play fool, or not. Guessing most business people will eat you alive, if they smell blood.

Owehh... That's a stinger. Ace quote, thank you. Where did you read it from, direct from the texts?

Muhammed Ali "I ain't got no beef with no Vietcong, ain't no Vietcong ever called me nig***". Maximum Enlightened. Not sure about the Master part being old cassius. Score board stuff seems worse than dumb, makes me think of a quote from a book within a game (Deus Ex), "Jacobs Ladder". Where if you do 100 things wrong you can go to heaven, but a 101 sends you straight to hell.
