To be clear there is no dispute in "the recognition of indebtedness". We are in agreement. My post you are responding to clearly acknowledges the poin...

Really? Perhaps you will explain? I'm listening.

No i did not. Thanks for sharing.

Very well. Perhaps you can share, if interested, why are you speaking about the primacy of awareness when OP wants to explore Self-Abnegation. Seems l...

I had never felt any need to verify if any changes can be made to the quote while quoting someone until yesterday, when i tried to underline parts of ...

The problem is in context of your response the reason for quoting is not clear. It is also not clear who is being addressed. I Initially asked you who...

We have not spoken before. So who are you explaining your pov to and who "invoked" (a weird choice of word) your name? Why am i being quoted? In what ...

You have quoted two people in a seemingly odd way, who are you speaking to?

Let's take another brief look at what you have said, this time quoting your paragraphs: It seems, the difficulty is not in a theoretical intellectual ...

Pardon me i have been multitasking here and somewhat distracted. I should have mentioned "wear same size pants".

Very good. Let's get something out of the way. The English translation of the minor Upanishad (in contrast to the major Upanishads) seems to be heavil...

If you and Hanover are the same size perhaps he can mail you some pants, no?

Let's first get some facts out of the way. The doctrine of atman/an-atman that you have mentioned is not particularly codified in the Vedas, albeit wi...

Oh and perhaps i should add to my previous post, attempts at entrapment is the work of the mind, a repository of "experiences " otherwise physiology d...

I should have mentioned something else. What was said in previous post has no potency if it is only intellectually understood, debated, agreed or disa...

Is there a question in OP you are trying to explore?

"What is it worth?" Good Lord! Its like asking the lover, "what is love worth"? The lover will probably ask, "have you ever been in love"?

Gratitude, it seems, is an attitude from/of fulfillment, of abundance, of surplus. The song of the nightingale, lion cubs playing with their mother wh...

Thanks @"Hanover" & @"Jamal"

How are the payments processed @"Baden" ?

I hear ya. Usually that's where people fail...putting their money where the mouth is, in more than one way. BTW, speaking of 'Jamal', it is really tem...

Not sure where this option is but thanks for looking into it. The question came to me because it makes sense for the regulars to support the forum in ...

No worries. What are the subscription fees if one decides to support the forum?

That's good. The central committee won't know what to do, in your absence, perhaps. The reason for the ping was to ask a question. How to upload an im...

Pinging @"Baden"

Thanks for the invite.

Expression must be entirely surplus, the skin that peels off and the new, unnamed, snake glides away. Or like the secrecy of the huge ocean for which ...

Jesus Christ! Hold hands you love birds. Holding hands needs faith, yes?

I'm not sure what you are saying is supported by history. But as you might know i have no skin in the religion-anti religion game so i will leave this...

Carry on.

While the subject of faith is pretty vast and be approached in various ways, an elementary observation is one doesn't need faith when it comes to fact...

Disguising pejoratives by calling it "curiosity" doesn't make it any less evident. Anything wrong with your attitude here? Who the heck are you to que...

If all roads "lead to Rome" then it must be a static fixed dead place. Not a location that is so dynamic and fluid that, it changes by the time you pe...

The thing can't be captured by the word.

The word is not the thing.

I think we can safely say any disregard or avoidance of the "essence" is an attempt to keep "the box" secure.

Re couple of posts in previous page: When quibbling has become a habit then all discourses become quibbling. Which obviously doesn’t even come close t...

A man who has not repose is being used by his body and mind in dependence on he knows not what.

Dang there was a serious typo in last sentence which is now corrected.

:up:

Out of several ways we can approach the subject of meditation, one may start by saying meditation is the flowering of 'understanding'. Understanding i...

The rose has reached its completion, its perfection. The best it can ever be. There is no reason for the rose to complain. It reached its completion i...

The POV approach for the OP's narrative is good. A simple point, perhaps not particularly related to the question in op (or perhaps it is), it won't b...

Beauty is un-possessed Wholeness. Seen and desired as an object it is used, perverted, and lost by incompleteness.

Only the complete risk of one's highest organization can challenge the oscillation between being haunted and undermined by the possibility of an organ...

No i didn't. I was pointing to the use of the pronoun "we" in your previous post.Essentially i was agreeing with the pronoun.. After all it isn't rock...

No belief is required in observing the obvious. Especially if it comes with corroborating evidence.. Naturally it applies to all, including you. Bye B...

@"I like sushi" You have put some effort in this essay. I have not read the complete essay since it is pretty long but i saw the first paragraph is th...

That's what i had said in my initial post. However, i wasn't talking about atheists or theists. I was pointing to the fact that everyone believes at a...
