The artist is he who remains beyond his work and is thus denied by its finality.

You cannot learn from experience because it is not complex. You cannot understand what you could not experience, that of which you are not inwardly ca...

Will do. :up:

See how easy you are? Hopefully your next response will have one or two of those 'rofl tear' emoticons you are known to use frequently while talking t...

You know what?......mommies all over the world are worth respecting, so, i am going to leave your mommy out of this. In fact, i don;t even need to go ...

One may say, an artist is a Magician who has forgotten what he is doing.

Well, not sure why you would have to refer me back to anything since the progression is quite obvious and in print. Anyone having minimal understandin...

Right. I am agreeing with you when you say “that interaction with other members on TPF is foundational”. I was/am aware of it. Even though you haven’t...

You are quite right. As i suspected, your post, even after my "bye bye", is certainly a testament to your adequacy. Not only to your adequacy but also...

What is absolutely, really Positive, Autonomous, cannot be expressed, it can only throw shadows.

@"universeness" Children can't entrap adults. This will increasingly get clearer in future, if it isn't presently. The reason is simple. Adults have a...

Right. The idea was to hit the spot. Glad it did. Better luck next time.

Then that is a problem which will prevent any further inquiry. In any case a further deliberation doesn't seem needed, as the original points have alr...

Good questions, which will flow into several threads if we really get into it. I am guessing we don't want that. Re the questions: an error of percept...

So, it seems, a shallow inquiry/attribution of meanings to words/thoughts is a continuity of our beliefs, which resists, and becomes reactive when exp...

Let's discuss belief; can you believe something that has been proven wrong? Yes. Isn’t it so? Don’t people live their lives goaded by beliefs that hav...

Disinterestedness doesn't mean apathy, on the contrary. Apathy is death. It seems clear, the first condition for the 'experience' of Reality is comple...

To take a leap from what was said in previous page: Distress is a failure of Disinterestedness. If Disinterestedness sets clear the conditions of Harm...

No, amateurish. You have much to learn in your games. Bye for now.

As much as i would love to play this game with you but unlike you i have things to do. Bye Bye.

Absolutely. A wisdom that isn't confined to the beauty of the flower but also present in the purity of the scalpel. Something you won't understand at ...

I am afraid it cannot be avoided. Your frequent threads and posts are all over the front page and elsewhere in the forum. Even my infrequent visits ma...

That was simply a suggestion, to help you out from your misery. You seem to be trying too hard but failing.

Rest assured one's heart isn't broken.

Speaking from experience, eh? Try using the notebook for something original, so far it has been 2nd hand and shoddy, neurotic.

You took the words out of my mouth. My consideration towards people in general prevented me from saying that to you. Come back when you learn how to "...

To continue from above, prevent systematization, The complete artist, for whom all forms and mode of expression have become arbitrary, is now complete...

Revisiting a year old thread One may say: For the grown-up Innocence is something abstract. In his incomprehension, he thinks it involves the absence ...

BTW, the above, is for whom the shoe fits.

Yes, this a gem. Like not being McNutty, passively or otherwise. Like not getting your panties in a bunch.

Philosophy has only a humanistic continuity and should be considered essentially of the same nature as any other - for example literary criticism. It ...

Perhaps all philosophy that is not merely academic(the silliest kind) is the work of a poet manque'.

Well, i am inquiring with you. Thank you.

@"Marvin Katz" So instead of poisoning the goodness and the moral, perhaps the poster may have asked you "constructively", "hey, can you narrow down y...

You are questioning the nature of the good and the moral, aren't you? That is your "point", right? So the post above yours is obviously the kind of be...

For Reason every actual beauty must be accidental. So long as it does not recognize its limits Reason is romantic. Actual beauty is rational only by c...

That is correct. Unless one feels there is a genuine interest to explore, accompanied with the right attitude that facilitates such inquiry.

Both threads have explained the "why".

Which is why one had pointed it in op.

Right.

Beauty is unpossessed Wholeness. Seen and desired as an object it is used, perverted and lost by incompleteness, the partial ego, the dualistic mind: ...

Perhaps in interest of being precise one should clarify, a mantra, strictly speaking, is also an aphoristic formulae (i.e. needs unpacking), in their ...

Another (call it ontological, phenomenological, or whatever) aphoristic formulae is: Sat, Chit, Ananda

They are not priorities, or hierarchical. They are attributes. Aphoristic formulae (not mantra) These are attempts at elucidating faceted attributes o...

One questions if true creativity is a continuity of the 'old', or is it completely removed from the old. But, given the rarity of such true creativity...

Boredom has no existence, no substance. The question of fighting it, avoiding it, doing something about it doesn't arise.

A bit baffled by this outburst, but, thanks for the confirmation. You must have your reasons. Wasn't sure before, when you were going around posting o...
