Yes. But you have a great avatar picture too. How would you unpack seeing is deceptive?

All of us are deeply interested and invested in spiritual conversation.

Okay but the issue still stands that you haven't shown us what you look like.

I would love to see what you look like.

Right. This is the Zen Devil bypass,

But is this high consciousness?

Your buddy. Your link.

Hopefully not lol.

Okay.

Emotions are too easily dismissed I feel like. You can always come up with a silly joke using the mind to discount someone's emotions that can sound funny but also have a dig in there that shows where that person is coming from -- usually a deficit in their own awareness of their own emotions. They don't like emotions; they're a problem they want to bypass if possible.

This is really good! Good job.

Let me try to clarify how I use accountability. Accountability is doing what you say you will do.

Thank you. Feel free to disagree with me. I read it all. I'm not sure what you wrote is what I believe or what you believe.

I like to create this pointer: Love is feeling tempered by Truth. Beauty is creating (or playing) tempered by Truth and Love. Play is synonymous with conscious creation.

I don't entirely detach from sense experience, thought, emotion, or intuition.

No. Evil exists. When bad conduct occurs that is evil. This idea or ideal that evil doesn't exist is a fraud.

But what rule is in your mind?

This presupposes that what is evil has a clear and distinct definition in order to use the term, no? I know we all have an intuitive sense of evil.

Yes. And I think this applies to everyone. Sometimes this assumption is false, and it's hard to judge this online because we can't see someone. It is easy to make assumptions online because you aren't dealing with people face to face. We haven't even met in real life and we're judging each other. It's weird. We do the best we can I guess.

How much?

The million dollar question is how do feelings factor into Love. Many people seem to believe feelings come only from finite egos. It's hard to have a Unity perspective without erasing the finite, unless the Unity is a combination of the finite as Spinoza thought. Then emotions are part of God/Nature. Even erroneous emotions that are not purified by Truth.

Nobody wants to be held accountable.

Glad you reacted.

I'm not sure of the silence recommendation. Seems like a yes and no.

I agree with this except I'm not sure how he feels, he might differ from any characterization. But I agree with your point of view as to emotions.
