Maybe I have been selfless all this time.
    #18871585 - 09/21/13 10:56 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I have come here for eight years trying to talk sense to a failing humanity.  I've suffered greatly in having to listen to what most of you have been thinking.

What say you?

Why would I say what you want me to say?

Maybe this;

" (6) And thus Bodhisattvas are likened to peacocks:
They live on delusions poisonous plants.
Transforming them into the essence of practice,
They thrive the jungle of everyday life.
Whatever is presented they always accept
While destroying the poison of clinging desire."

~ from the wheel of sharp weapons.

" No permanence is ours; we are a wave
That flows to fit whatever form it finds:
Through night or day, cathedral or the cave
We pass forever, craving form that binds."

...or this interpretation;

" "In jungles of poisonous plants strut the peacocks,
Though medicine gardens of beauty lie near.

The masses of peacocks do not find gardens pleasant,

But thrive on the essence of poisonous plants,

In similar fashion the brave bodhisattvas

Remain in the jungle of worlds concern.

No matter how joyful this world pleasure garden,

These brave ones are never attracted to pleasures,

But thrive in the jungle of suffering and pain."

It is possible, but not likely in my opinion considering you don't feel compassion, empathy, or love .

Can't say the truth of what's going on with you but I tend to think of your posts in that direction, the flood of ignorance on this board is stemmed by a handful of posters. How many people have learned from you during post-psychedelic vulnerable states where they might otherwise be corrupted by religious/spiritual bullshit?

I first came here as a teenager almost 10 years ago and have learned much from debating on these board, but if everyone on this board were spouting religious dogma and mystical cliches there would be nothing to learn here.

How to crucify the ego? As it's yoyo'ing cycles are becoming more frequent. How do I subdue this delinquent and it's subsequent blindings.

I told you years ago to quit your preaching.  Any suffering you have is karma for your preaching to others.  And how do you know what "most of you have been thinking"?

That's the problem with preachers.  They think they know more than the next person, and have to tell them why.

I'd make it personal, but you truly aren't "worth it".

So if you take your preaching elsewhere, like on a soap box or in an enclosed box, that would be great.

What makes you think there's anything wrong with ego? Did a book tell you that?
Ever consider they might be lying to you or ignorant themselves?

Books tell lots of things, but no, isn't it the ego that
glories in feeling important, needed, wise; isn't the ego
that takes pain in the antithesis of the above mentioned
traits? I've come to realise that both self importance and
self abhorrence are a waist of emotion and energy. I don't
want to be subject to either.

I enjoy your contributions to this forum :thumbup:

..I still remember my first post here trying to prove the existence of god (We all know how that goes) when I ran into the user Icelander for the first time.  :braindamage:
