  1. I'll take it, I figured you were gonna tell me the Truth is there's no separate self.

  3. What is Oppression?

    Joseph Maynor replied to Cred's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    @Cred Can you give us some examples of what you mean by oppression? I think it should be make clear that Absolute Love does not mean or imply that anyone should tolerate abuse. I've seen the word oppression used in a variety of contexts, so I want to make sure we're not glossing an important distinction.
  4. I'm just using direct experience.
  5. What is the Truth?
  6. Yes, but there is no duality between the Infinite and the finite, so it's ok not to Love perfectly, no one can or does. But most people will resist this twist on Love.

  7. What is some music you like?

  8. Why do we need a most fundamental thing?
  9. This is what I was driving at. Direct experience to me is a kind of focusing that isn't always present and not always needed. It takes work to focus.
  10. Is direct experience something we always have, or do we have to focus on it to have it?

  11. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    Joseph Maynor replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I like the blog post on proving beauty exists. I'll make it Beauty just to clarify I'm talking about Absolute Beauty. This can be seen thru Creation of finite artworks and exploration and comparison of taste in the various artforms.
  13. Everyone secretly operates with their own answers in spirituality, and they express them routinely.
  14. What is direct experience?
  15. Yes. This is your main question: Who am "I"? You are a seeker for that I.

  17. Are you talking about nothingness or emptiness?

  18. Your Recent Movie Picks

  19. Right? But I know who you are. That's the downside.
  20. Nothingness seems like a cop-out to me on some level.
  21. Why are thoughts seen as bad? This is my old and longstanding inquiry as to you people?
  22. I feel like insanity is the absence of fear. It's weird. Yeah I agree with this too. But you have to be able to have a grounding wire too. The easiest knock someone can do to you is label you insane, which is conformity and groupthink. Obviously. Nobody wants to be seen as the shadow of how they want to be seen. And this means and includes every finite perspective.
  23. I hope so for you.
  24. I guess the question here is whether you think God is sane according to your own definition?
  25. Suit yourself.
