But you need to get to know someone in person. This is the problem with all this online stuff.

I feel really bad when I see demonizing people because it's been done to me. And not fairly. I've had this kind of treatment happen to me.

How is he an act any different than anyone else? I feel like there's a need sometimes to put down another to elevate anyone's own imperfect ego from criticism.

This is imputing a lot of motive on a class of people instead of actual individuals.

Shine for you first. It's okay. You diamond.

We are all humans. We forget this.

I sense a lot of trauma being projected outward. I don't see a need to demonize anyone like this. Especially not him. It's a slippery slope obviously.

Most people don't or won't get this for some reason. I agree. Well said.

It's funny how what I said is very clear to me, but when I attempt to explain it to another person in words -- with a great question such as this -- it becomes suddenly very difficult.

Focus more on relationship than on belief when you interface with people. You have to relax your judgment muscle to a degree.

I feel like the Feminine in general is more focused on relationship, and the Masculine is more focused on the individual; and this creates a natural conflict in reality that we face every day.

Why is it nothing? I'm not understanding.

This is all Kantian nonsense, right?

To what degree is Consciousness filtered, and how can we come to know this? Is this regarding us or others?

I like this guy. He does seafood.

Self-awareness and intuition

This puts a lot of thought conditions on Awareness ironically.

Ironically, Shankara defines the highest stage of consciousness as analogous to deep sleep. You hear this all the time.

The reason Jazz performances come off as so tight is because we play a set of songs called standards for years. So even though we improvise, we practice that same bag of tunes every week for years and years. So, yes improvisation is going on spontaneously, but the same tunes have been practiced, refined, and refined some more over the course of many years. Nobody plays a new tune well the first time. I have about 80 songs in my bag that I practice every week. You get deeper and deeper into the tune so your improvisation starts to sound better and more aligned with the tune and chord progression. Also you develop little things like, this is what I normally play over this part. So, it's not composed but you develop a bag of tricks sort of for each tune as a matter of habit. Some people call these licks, but they're not memorized, they develop over time when you practice.

Says who?

I can know awareness.
