Yes, do the whole 9 yards as a whole lot of saying something that at the end of the day says absolutely nothing at all.

Why not 🤦‍♀️hmmm, because I have the wisdom to understand that no human being on earth is worthy of being idolised or praised. I live only for God, not man. For my love, there is no charge. That’s my motto. My God, I can’t think of anything more fake, creepy,and cringe worthy than to believe my personal self bias subjective opinion is of any monetary value to someone else. I respect myself too much to go around selling to another what would or could only be my own subjective opinion. Or trying to give to people what they’ve already got, or telling people what they already know. Gees, and then to have people bowing down to me as if I am some sort of gold plated overlord, urgh! The idea makes me feel physically ill. It’s not my kind of business. Money doesn’t define me. There’s no more conscious business to me than minding my own, which has been an enormous success btw. I have already consciously created my own business empire, it’s paid off extremely well because I’m smart. But I have no use for the money I’ve made because I’m a minimalist non materialist monk at heart, always have been, always will be. I just accidentally became very rich without expecting that to happen, or even caring about it happening or not, wealth and good fortune just came my way effortlessly in abundance, maybe because I never squandered it, or idolised it, idk. I’m also very healthy and that’s the only value that’s of any real importance to me, and being healthy means nothing else in this world matters one jot.

Exactly! 👍

@Willy Phallicus For me personally, I’d be totally embarrassed selling water by a river. Or trying to coach people a life I think they should follow. It’s arrogant for anyone to think they know what’s best for someone else, especially to tell someone else they’re not enlightened yet, just because someone else is following a certain guru that doesn’t measure up to their own personal standard. I personally enjoy self inquiry and then writing about what I’ve discovered to forums. It’s entertaining for me. I certainly wouldn’t dream of making my own personal self inquiry findings into a money making business.

Well so far I’ve not morphed into a talking snake.

You can only be certain of one truth, and that is you are conscious… everything else is uncertain. And yes, this is known only as and through your word….Without knowing a word, nothing, absolutely nothing is known.

The body has no owner.

An object in mind. An image of the imageless.

Where there’s a self, selflessness can’t exist. Note to self…thanks for the fish.

Machines aren’t conscious. Machines can never know their maker.

This is the elephant in the room that refuses to be seen by some gurus. . . You cannot know anything about anything except as a make-believed story, which is born of linguistics. Outside of which remains a totally silent mystery that no temporal life form can ever decode. Every human being is their own guru. So yes, of course everyone is going to believe their own BS I mean what can the human mind do with nothing. It’s obviously going to fill in the blank with something. But here’s the kicker. If or when just one single person ever claims to genuinely know what they are talking about regarding the absolute nature of reality - then anyone can do the same, and not one single one of them will be wrong about their claim because all these claims are being sourced from the exact same place, namely a brain. Now, unless you have been unfortunate to have been born without a brain, then you are exempt from make-believe story telling activity. Outside of human conceptually created story-telling, there’s just life living completely, absolutely, perfectly, effectively, efficiently, rightly, and true without any artificially created human theory being overlaid upon it whatsoever.

He’s been doing the pulling down his trousers and pants ( literally) in real-time for the last 20 years. It was his classic signature skit that he performed in plain sight and nobody blinked an eyelid, no one thought this behaviour was inappropriate, in fact people would just roar with laughter. I guess he was good for business. The pulling down his trousers and pants skit started on the British TV show Big Brother over 20 years ago. Anyways, aside from the clown antics performer, people are still responsible for their inappropriate actions. And therefore should be held accountable when the behaviour is hurting other people.

They both arise together, namely now.

Nowhere - here now - must be a First Cause (often called God) that is itself uncaused.

The questions can only be of a linguistic variety because questions can only arise to the sense of a separate self where there isn’t one.
