this is about a lot of things
light and dark are the same thing expressing itself in 2 different ways.
duality is an illusion.
you have no enemies but yourself.

Well I guess that makes me enlightened, however...
It's very flattering to think of oneself as 'enlightened' but enlightenment is a process of continual progress. Enlightenment should lead one to see the extent of his own ignorance and potentials for further growth. When you cease to be a student, you likewise reach your limit as a teacher - you are at a dead end. Hubris springs from the darkness dwelling in the minds of those who like to pass themselves off as enlightened. - Lessons from a Swami I once knew.

Enlightened and Unenlightened are just the same thing expressing itself in different ways, I think.

think of the most repugnant thing you can think of. here's one if you can't:
A ten year old girl being raped by a 45 year old man, with a broken glass bottle.
Is God there?
YES HE IS.
he may not approve, but he is there.
God allows EVERYTHING TO HAPPEN. even things he finds distatsteful.

one must realize that he is a bigot, as I have realized this about myself.
bigotry is a consequence of being human. It is a consequence of the finite limitations of te human mind.
All on the path of light are in a constant struggle to free their minds from bigotry. Does the battle ever end? I do not know.
Only when you have achieved no-mind, will you be free from bigotry.

I just think you are silly. Maybe just having some fun?
Full of shit none the less................
I am enlightened, you are not(is kind of what you are saying).
That makes you a joke. ITs just off-the-wall comments made by some guy that is bored as hell.

When did I ever say I was enlightened?
personally, I believe that enlightenment and the human mind have an asymptotic relationship. That is, they come closer and closer to eachother, but they never touch.
Though, I may be farther on the path than others (and certainly behind some), I am no more or less enlightened than anyone.

A line whose distance to a given curve tends to zero. An asymptote may or may not intersect its associated curve.
You might be right there, even almost on the intersection, but you still make no sense...... Your motive boggles the mind. So why should we care about you saying nothing about anything until now. Are you possibly drunk or just bored with the shroomery to the point where you feel like its ok to spew garbage at people? I was just wondering.............
No matter, it was a wonderful approach....ya, thats the ticket.
Logic tends to destroy the prosses of ranting, even if you had any idea what it is you thought you might be communicating to ANYBODY.
If you have something to say, say it. Im all about being an ego-maniac. I get off on people like you. That is how you have presented yourself thus far so run with that and continue the rant that makes no sense..

"When a wise scholar hears the Tao He practices it diligently. When a mediocre scholar hears the Tao, He wavers between belief and unbelief. When a worthless scholar hears the Tao He laughs at it boisterously. But if such a one did not laugh at it, The Tao would not be the Tao!
The wise men of old have truly said:
the bright Way looks dim the progressive Way looks retrograde the smooth way looks rugged.
High Virtue looks like an abyss Great Whiteness looks spotted Abundant Virtue looks deficient Established Virtue looks shabby. Solid Virtue looks as though melted Great squareness has no corners Great talents ripen late Great sound is silent Great form is shapeless"
-Lao tzu, Tao Teh Ching, verse 41
lets not be so intolerant as to call the philosophy of billions of people "garbage", mmmmkay?

No you are just incoherent. The title says it all. You just want a conversation about something no one aked for. You are forceful in making that point, (what ever the hell that is).
Fuck the tao, although I understand it. Are you that one oddball sage that spews shit-talk at people?
You just seem very standoffish for a sage.
Just grow up........What do you want people to know?, and quit waisting space on the board. Im not saying this to be a jerk.
Yes your smooth nothingness looks rugged...... Sorry Connect the molecules with the light, (what are you trying to say???????)
