Behold the sincere seeker looking for the treasure of nothing-ness in the desolate ruins. If he 'has to' seek then he seeks without the aid of reasoni...
Your question was how do we measure wisdom. It was said, one can measure by looking at the feedback within oneself. The feedback of one's thoughts-fee...
How do we measure 'wisdom'? Good question. Is it really that difficult? One's own life/living is the best measurement. One's thoughts-feelings, words,...
My previous post was an endeavor to offer a distinction, in light of which facts can reflect. The same facts which are usually concealed by deceptive ...
As you perhaps know i don't post too often unless something inspires me to. The above comment is one of them. Critiquing is a wonderful thing. Not eve...
Reading the above, one is confronted with the question of listening. What's involved in listening and how does one listen? Does one listen if they are...
So is the entire world 'you' perceive. You can doubt everything but you cannot doubt the doubter. Which proves the primacy of a conscious presence (th...
To continue a bit on what was said in OP: One may ask a question, how does a lover of wisdom, concerned with his or her own life/living (not looking a...
In interest of any reader, regarding, "Then you also project an assumption (not conditioned by corrupting knowledge) about what it is like to be a bea...
I see you edited your comment and added the above while i was typing the response. In response to your question: This is something op had mentioned in...
But in your previous comment you were using a bear and it's actions as an example of conditioned knowledge. OP corrected the error in his response, an...
On the contrary, the bear (wrong example. not only the wrong end of the stick, but it's the wrong stick) is alive! It is true to what nature has given...
The op is more interested in accurately representing what's being said, than in playing patty cake. These accurate representations may sting, but they...
That's where the heavy lifting is. Objectivity and clarity don't come easy. It will depend on how innocent the mind is. The innocence, clarity, and ob...
The OP has always been clear. Any lack of clarity is/was in the recipient's corrupted mind. Perhaps a reactionary block towards comprehension. Further...
Maybe i will try one more time. By corruption OP is pointing to our inability to meet the present with fresh and clear eyes. We meet it through the le...
Actually it's other way around. What you are describing is pleasure. A pleasure, that is immediately derived from all the actions you have enumerated....
@"Benj96" There is an error in in my initial/first post. In the 2nd sentence. Please read "happiness" as 'pleasure'. The quest for pleasure (sensation...
BTW i also enjoyed your other question/thread here but did not participate in it for certain reasons. Maybe i will share my 2 cents here. You said : "...
@"Benj96" Good post. And you have also talked about contentment. That said: Happiness is a sensation (with biological implications). It's sought by hu...
Nope. Only a corrupt mind can't understand the difference between right and wrong use of resources This is the last response you will ever get from OP...
It seems only a mind that isn't Innocent, or doesn't understand what it is, will make a statement like the one quoted above. To clarify, an innocent m...
Ideally yes. So be careful of posting biased statements without evidence, was the point of my initial post. If you didn't get it then it's ok, there i...
" I think i can understand that many have an anxious desire to post things born out of a kind of reactionary anger and depression, and if your post is...
A critique should come with a reasoning. Like my previous critique showed what was lacking in your quoted post. I haven't been here long enough to kno...
Then don't call anyone racist Your thread was initially tilled "is racist language acceptable". Listen to your own advice The accusation of contemptuo...
Simple, the desire to end desire is a continuity of desire. All my OP's have gone into this..f you are serious and sincere to find out then you will n...
You know what's really funny? The predictable reactionary posts, when the focus shifts from the topic to the person. It's the first sign of a failure ...
The word thus was used as an acknowledgement of a fact....more precisely an acknowledgement of the resultant effects, of what was said prior to it's u...
" let's not forget that to have no model is itself a model". This is an old fallacious (therefore incorrect) reasoning usually used as a last resort. ...
They may or may not be context dependent, but in many cases they are certainly convenience dependent . Anything will puzzle the puzzled, unless they s...
Are emotions rational or irrational? As i see it both are labels the mind attaches to emotions. It's not the labels themselves that are important/inte...
Again, the objection of reinventing the wheel is a "practical" objection and does not apply to what's being talked about in OP. The objection is devas...
In the previous thread also cited in OP, a distinction was made between "Practical-Psychological" knowledge/problems. Your example of the stone falls ...
