Right? But I know who you are. That's the downside. -

Nothingness seems like a cop-out to me on some level. -

Why are thoughts seen as bad? This is my old and longstanding inquiry as to you people? -
Joseph Maynor replied to Hojo's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
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. -

I hope so for you. -

I guess the question here is whether you think God is sane according to your own definition? -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Suit yourself. -

Yeah I know. This is what the Neo-Adavita people like to do. But they have a huge ego too. This is their defense. We've all seen it. -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes corresponding to every infinite-finite perspective, naturally. -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
But it is too. You're not seeing yourself as a creator. It's your circus. -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah in a fantasy land. -

I think so too. But it's like a chord in music, all the notes can be played at once or as an arpeggio where the notes are spelled out in a sequence. I've argued with people over this. It depends on how you want to explain things. -

What always confused me is people who do the white heart. It seems so lack luster. Just do one red heart. That's it. -
Japanese Tea is no joke. There's tea and then there's Japanese tea.

There are pros and cons to this though. I think Truth comes before Love so if you don't have brain you don't fully understand heart. Just my opinion. -

Sometimes, sometimes not. Sometimes judgment is spot on. It depends. Judgment is a very difficult topic in this work. We all do it but no one seems to have an adequate account of it. -

What is Universe? -
Joseph Maynor replied to Meeksauce's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I think you're being too hard on yourself here. -

Who is truly living? -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
This is what I still don't understand: Why is the body taken to be real but the mind is seen to be problematic? This seems like the inverse of intellectualism. It reduces everything to body and how things affect the body, including the emotions. -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Okay. -

Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's it right there. You're associating the mind with ego, and you're assuming there is something bad about ego. That's the logic. I'm not saying you're wrong, but what you say is understandable. That's good! -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
What is so bad about mind? Is there anything good about mind in your opinion? -
Joseph Maynor replied to James123's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
This is why I tend to think that Love requires Truth but actually goes beyond it. It requires Embodiment not just Understanding. There's a necessary mystery with Love because it's about Relation and the magic of communion with Truth.
