Emergency Philosophy Question

I know I am asking this question without knowing the technical terms involved, so be patient with me.
What would one go about doing once they had discovered that they were full of shit?

Take a shit?
Just kidding. I recommend studying the Advaita (Non-dualism/Non-bullshit) teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, Mooji, Krishnamurti, John Wheeler, Sailor Bob etc.
Check out the Tolle and Ram Dass vids at the end the M&P video thread...

And your recommendations have merit because you set a fine example as a non-dualistic person?

Read about other people's ideas. Question them (and your own.)

Depends what one's intended outcome is and was meant by "full of shit".
Reading a great habit, read often and widely but often the full of shit lack even more severely in the taking action department.

I hope you don't get upset I mean no offense but I'm curious, what was the point of the last post? Is it because that what the concept was called in a book you read and find it irksome to have to generalize?
or inaction...

It's cool, I meant taking action sometimes means taking non-action. (like meditation, stillness and mindfulness)
My "full of shitness" is not what I think or do, but my lack of practicing not-thinking and not-doing.

Ahhh... thanks. I thought you were just repeating what i said in different words, which would have been annoying. Personally I'd consider meditation a willful action but now i have another term for it. danke.

Open eyes and see that they're all full of shit too just different colors and consistencies. Lots of that liquid kind. Mostly brown. Rarely black. Almost never white.
