  1. Zen is a tool for transcending the Mind. I just discovered Zen recently and it's amazing that I was already aligned with a lot of its insights without ever studying it.
  2. Can you please elaborate? I don't know where you came to this conclusion and why. This is certainly not my impression.
  3. A Spiritual Ego happens when the Ego-Mind is not fully transcended and where it clings hard to being a spiritual person or spiritual teacher.
  4. I think at some point you gotta transcend all this Spiral Dynamics stuff. Clinging hard to this stuff can easily become a trap of the Ego-Mind.
  5. Did you lift Leo's philosophy haha?
  6. This sounds dead on like Leo's non-dual philosophy. Am I right? You two must be drinking from the same fountain somewhere.
  8. Bingo! Video on point to watch: One of the best videos I've ever seen on Enlightenment.
  9. You gotta transcend the Ego-Mind. I thought you had already done this. All suffering is caused by clinging too hard to the Ego-Mind.
  10. It's the language of the Mind. Being doesn't have a mouth. Only mouths speak.
  11. Watch this video:
  12. Does being even want to be or is that a thought? What does being say?

    Responsibility turns into a thought at some point where it comes up in a real context.
  14. What does being want?
  15. Great question.

    The problem is non-human animals can't transcend the Ego or the Mind. Well, they don't have much of a Mind, but they can't transcend Ego. Humans have these huge Minds that has its pros and cons.

    What does being want when no thought is present?

    Can you elaborate?

  19. The Responsibility of Becoming More Developed

    Joseph Maynor replied to kieranperez's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    What is it that's responsible? How is the Ego reduced? What is the Ego?
  20. Really? Did being tell you that or did the Mind? Can you tell the difference? How can you tell the difference?
  21. Does being have a you? What is this you laid up on top of being? A thought? Does being say, "this is me"?
  22. Yes, and you can choose to ignore the Mind more once you transcend it.
  23. Who makes meaning? Your Ego-Mind?
  24. You can let meaning make itself. Being is not a striving.
  25. I'm spending 10,000+ hours on honing my skills as a writer. I read books on English grammar even to improve my writing. You gotta find your "one thing" just like I did.
