  1. I was never really into this, but I can respect people who love words and wordplay.
  2. I will look up words I don't know and I did that a lot when I was younger. But I try to speak in a common tongue as much as possible because my aim is communication with everyone. I'm not talking about technical terms in a field, those need to be learned. I'm talking about using big words when a more ordinary word would suffice.
  3. If a word I already know works, I would rather not learn an unusual word to refer to the same thing.
  4. This is true, and I don't like it because although I like to create humor, I don't find wit or wordplay particularly fun to engage in terms of creating humor.
  5. It seems from what I read that he swam out and became exhausted.
  6. I actually agree with you. Where I am currently is I don't think the Infinite doesn't know the finite, but rather that the Infinite is joined with the finite.
  7. @Inliytened1 I actually watched this entire video. It is fascinating to me.
  8. This is a great pointer IMO.
  9. Some women are very masculine too. Just because someone is a woman doesn't mean they have the stereotypical feminine personality.
  10. Going thru the death of a loved one is really hard. I understand.
  11. Women are attracted to entertaining guys.
  12. I don't think this fits all of Thailand. It is a little bit too generalized.
  13. It is a more profound pointer to say I am in such a world than you are in such a world, but this is a great insight!
  14. If you have read Shankara you will realize he gives many pointers to basically say the same thing. But it is over hundreds of pages.
  15. @Olaf The I Am is not ego. This is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. Shankara called it the Self = Pure Undifferentiated Consciousness in one place in his voluminous writings that I read. I Am is the Self. You may call that God if you want, but he calls it the Self.
  16. @Breakingthewall A great pointer I got from Shankara is -- "The Self is Pure Undifferentiated Consciousness".
  17. This is a great question. Maybe someone here can answer it. I'm not sure.
  18. This is why I like to say it is important to meet people in person. Especially nowadays when we don't even know who we are dealing with online. You get a better sense of someone when you sit down with them for dinner or meet with them over a course of days.
  19. I haven't watched any of his content except this one video.
