Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Is this what we resort when we dont have a video? An Enlightenment swordfight? Edited January 1, 2019 by Rilles Dont look at me! Look inside! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 1, 2019 @Joseph Maynor Anything I write about enlightenment is just nonsense, in the end. The only people who would understand are the people who don't need it explained to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s hard to communicate this insight though. Edited January 1, 2019 by Joseph Maynor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like the difference between explaining what the Sun looks like to someone who has lived their entire life underground, and taking them outside and showing them.

Never said any of that. Maybe there’s a stunt double for me floating around the Forum or something haha. Let’s not make up facts ok. I never said Enlightenment is Stage Coral.

Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Preetom said: I saw you passing through a stage where you were really trying to fit enlightenment in coral or some other SD stage Read what I write very carefully. I never said Enlightenment = Coral anywhere. You posted a comparison I made between two models, the 10 Ox Pictures and Spiral Dynamics. Now, keep in mind models have nothing to do with Enlightenment. There’s theory and then there’s Enlightenment and they live apart. You can talk all you want and some of that is fruitful, but what Enlightenment is has nothing to do with stories.

You go live that yourself and then come tell us how that works out for you. That’s pretty presumptuous and idealistic. If somebody misrepresents what I say, that’s an issue of fact that I can and will correct depending on how much I care to.
