'Nuff said.




Good old enlgish dictionary, always there isn't it, to tell us what we really mean!

I didnt give a sermon or religious instruction  :shrug:
(you may take it as tedious, thats personal preference)

I mean you lot know what i talk about why not just ignore the thread?
Oh i forgot! You actually enjoy this!
I thought philosophy was the search for veritas?
How wrong i was, i'm sure your dictionary can correct me?

Instead of commenting on the actual subject of the thread & what it points to we get into discussions about how its worded! :lol:

Its all fun, egos saying they're better than other egos, other egos calling other egos big egos. I suppose the point of discussion IS ego.

"my POV is better than yours"

I guess we can find solace in the fact that all of our POV's will be gone one day, and they don't actually count for anything when seen in the bigger picture, does the universe actually care what we think about it?

:peace:

No.

It is slow in here today.

I'm glad you're still around.

I was just doing what I like to do in here. I took what you said and showed you why it wasn't true.

It's just a way to stay grounded. The word doesn't mean all that much. I believe there was a thread here awhile ago that talked about an ever-changing identity and how we are not the same, day-to-day, because we are always taking in new information that essentially changes us completely.




i think i would agree with this thought

and i really liked this article..:thumbup:

How unlike the Buddha...

Sigh...

You have pretty thoughts... but just 'cause they look good and smell nice doesn't make 'em true.

You say you are speaking the unspeakable.

Bullshit.

Many before you have spoken more clearly than you have on the subject of Zen.

Saying you can't speak about it is a cop out.

You obviously can speak about it.

Now practice speaking clearly.

Then why did you reply to me on this specific topic....?    :smirk:
I don't agree with your opinion....  :shrug:

You WILL repeat it endlessly, until a day comes that you change your opinion about it.... 
Your repetition is why I asked you....      :wink:

I have never even read about Zen? I know buddhism but not Zen particularly.
I never said im speaking the unspeakable, i said im trying to, which is impossible. Ask any being who has even glimpsed absolute truth for a second and ask them if ANY word can describe that place. It is utterly impossible.

Words like nirvana, tao, brahman, unmanifest & emptiness have been used, lao tzu said

"the tao that can be speaked, is not the eternal tao"

Its is wordless timeless & impossible to conceptualize.

Ive spoken onit as clearly as i can at this moment in time, im sorry it doesnt meet your standards :shrug: Words can only come from that & point the mind back to that.
But ultimately all thought must be left behind as thoughts are objects which cant capture pure subjectivity. I DO like trying though & some evidently find this annoying.

Of course many more have spoken more clearly than me, awakening has only been present here for the last few months. I don't think i should have to feel bad for trying to express, so i wont :grin: It feels natural for me to say what i say so let it be said right? Vice versa.

I just sometimes get the impression some people here would rather everyone who doesn't hold belief in the logic of the "rational" mind to piss off and leave this place full of cynical scientific doubters, instead of what id consider to be real thinkers, those who go beyond mind, those who use thinking to go beyond general human thinking.

Like someone great said

"evolve or die"

:peace:

Bullshit. Again... this is a mushroom board... many of us have had similar experiences. We talk about them all the time.

No shit.

That is like saying a picture of a naked woman is not a real naked woman.

Sometimes people overthink this stuff.
