I'm not so sure. How're you not also observing your experiencing of eating dinner? You're experiencing it, so I think you're automatically measuring i...

I'm a dumb male, so I usually create more work for myself. I think I'm doing it wrong.

So, one's awareness of experience 'x' can't be measured or observed? How does one make sense of their awareness, or the experience, then?

Perhaps I've missed it, but each of you need to define mystical experience first. Some experiences from modern Christian mystics suggests hysteria, bu...

Really, it means only two things? That's not my argument.

It's tiresome when about every discussion on religious ideas here is met with ridicule, mockery, and strawmen from one side. As I think Clarky tried t...

(Y) Transubstantiation is still really esoteric, though.

Free to reject what claim?

Experiences are experiences. Whether they are of mystical quality, whatever that means and however you define that, is what's debatable. Merely becaus...

Fry the crepes already.

In Hanover's case: He didn't know, assessed no evidence because he had none and was provided none, probably wasn't convinced that he was right but did...

Dear diary...

Attacking one's behavior, rightly or falsely, tells you a lot about their person and their character. Can't really get away from that. Digging at Agus...

I told you to read, again. I know that's difficult, though. Apologies.

I don't know what that value is for everyone. Maybe Hanover enjoys making fun of Agustino. Perhaps Sappy gets off to having circular semantic games fo...

False accusations are always wrong because they are false, therefore every false accusation ought not be made because each accusation would be wrong. ...

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I've been arguing type. READ what I have been saying, sweet Jesus. The type of offense isn't, and ought not be, appropriate here - from anyone.

Falsely accusing someone of something is wrong 100% of the time. Falsely accusing someone of something also makes you a dickhead 100% of the time. Doe...

Fundamentally, both are character digs. You can believe that Hanover was being gentle and curious with his post, but I'm not going to be convinced tha...

As I have already said in this thread, false sexual allegations destroys someone's life. Merely because a similar accusation made on a forum doesn't d...

Such a claim ought not be made in the first place. That is my point. Don't assert that someone is a sexist, racist, lazy bum if you've no evidence to ...

Textbook belittling right here. I've already posted enough of my thoughts in this thread already. For those with good reading comprehension, it's clea...

You don't understand my frustration at all. If you did, you wouldn't suggest that I go someplace else on the account of providing constructive feedbac...

Unsubstantiated claims against someone's character isn't philosophy, it's disrespectful trash. Why are you surprised that the person insulted is insul...

No. Is he new agey? I don't pay that stuff much attention.

I've heard of him quite a bit but have never read him. I suppose that I should? Is he more insightful than the first Eckhart? O:)

Did you say to whom you are referring somewhere in this thread or did I miss it?

I just find it appalling that you all found it prudent to add a poster like TimeLine who has shown herself on many occasions to be an unapologetic, be...

Low quality, bannable offense that. You ought to be ashamed. I vote darth for modship.

So, you're saying that you want the right wingers to flirt with you so they can become mods too? :o

And if Agustino or Thoro ask to be a moderator you all will be #triggered and deny his request immediately, lol.

You don't think she will delete, warn, ban posters who she thinks are sexists, rape apologists, etc.? You must not have been following TimeLine's "can...

Wow, that's amazing, Jamal, thanks man. I'll be sure to keep my pants off when you come over to rape me, (Y)

You're welcome. Don't worry, I'll begin jotting down how many times I insult someone on here before I myself can become a moderator.

Ah, yes, this forum needed yet another mentally ill, narcissistic moderator. Wunderbar!

Have you ever been punched square in the face? I suspect you have, perhaps that's why your teeth are so uneven. Good communist dentistry, (Y)

Truer words have never been typed.

Did you even read my post? Sigh. You are often so quick to reply that you forget to read what someone says in the first place.

Attaining qualities of a life that extend beyond one's survival is not ensured merely because one works. The driver for greater autonomy and prosperit...

I've never argued that. Read my posts again. Oh really? How about you support that claim. Why are you even here, then? I think the thread has done som...

I was jokin' with you, X-) I'll look him up, thanks.

Too bad this isn't entirely facetious.

Ah, good that you caught onto this. I was just musing with a friend of mine last night that I've decided to become a woman. Thank you for the pronoun ...

Again, it seems that doing good on earth is intended to get us closer to God, or salvation, but my wrestling now has to do with whether we can ever sh...

I've tended to stick with Eckhart, Tauler, and Suso. That little circle of mystics got it right, in my opinion. I think the logic goes that doing good...

You appear to be suggesting that slavery is good if one is a slave to the right person or thing. Strange, as I remember you being on the "tear down an...
