Posted December 31, 2018 @Joseph Maynor Hehe yea look at me making relevant points and shit conVERSATIONAL narcissism is when you manipulate a conversation to make the topic about you or something that you want to talk about. Example: A: Did you hear about the recent shooting? B: Yea horrible I can only imagine how the gunshots must have sounded because I remember from my hunting trip when I shot my first gun I was surprised about the loudness of that gun...but well at least I got the deer.

Our lives are really only about US. Even our benevolence and charity is for us as well. How can it be otherwise? These is only one knowing being presence. It can only pretend the otherness, something which is just not there. me me me me me...that's all there is, whether enlightened or not~ ''Not this... Not this... PLEASE...Not this...''

Posted December 31, 2018 Enlightenment is really narcissism taken to it's full circle. In advaita vedanta, this incomparable love for oneself above all else is called the bliss/love aspect of the Self/Enlightenment. But it gets delusionally facilitated by the separate self ego which breeds more suffering rather than bliss. 3 minutes ago, Rilles said: ”Its counter-intuitive! Of course! Its a strange loop!

Posted December 31, 2018 8 minutes ago, Joseph Maynor said: Bingo! What’s a real hoot are the narcissists who think they have No Ego running around trying to correct others’ Egos. That’s what we call a Spiritual Ego. Many of these people (not all) are like covert narcissists. There’s a term for ya! I didn’t make that one up either. Aren't you correcting them too by saying that ? Why not saying nothing and just move along with your day ? Why justificating yourself all the time ?

Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Joseph Maynor said: Here’s a good question — when is conversational narcissism not present on the Forum? It's always present but just like with most things it's a matter of degree. It's one thing to post your opinion on a topic another to start listing all the things you have to do over the holidays for work when the topic is about when the new video will be coming. EDIT: And yes me pointing that out is also narcissistic because if it bothers me enough that I have to point then I'm trying to manipulate you to behave the way I want so I think I'll take my own medicine and stop now...

This is what confuses me, ego death, is not personality death , it is death of certain personality traits, I think some people got lost in translations. You are here to live your life, you can get truths trough your personality lens, ultimately your personality will change allot trough life, but there is that certain part of you that is always the same , maybe that is the soul, maybe I am just confused , because I can't really make my mind up about that, all this rebirth stuff is confusing me and makes no sense.

Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) @purerogue You literally can't make your mind up about that. I'm as confused as you but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. The only way is in and finding out for oneself. Edited December 31, 2018 by peanutspathtotruth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
