I feel like direct experience doesn't need a definition to be honest.

It's one thing to recognize this, it's another thing to try to define it.

It's the grease between the wheels. It's brilliant!

The subjects thing happened when Universities were created, if not before. I guess -- it's natural to class things by category, as Aristotle was obsessed with, after his disgust and/or reaction to his teacher Plato.

Why? Not really, right?

What is direct experience?

The post about defense and by extension reactivity #342 is aligning with another question (re the context of Truth) -- Why are we so affected/effected by isms? Does Truth have anything to do with philosophy? I'm talking about the way philosophy is ordinarily understood not a re-definition.

@AerisVahnEphelia In the U.S. we gotta pay to live here, especially in California. It's expensive.

It's a fascinating question. I feel like we default to think we have free will and that others do too.

But why does this matter to your inquiry as to whether there is free will or not?

Post us some samples of your work when you're ready.

What expertise does Einstein have to opine on free will as opposed to anyone else?

I'm curious as to what is not wage slavery when everyone needs money to survive in the modern world?

What's the difference between Truth and truth?

Can Truth be expressed in words?

I wouldn't want to answer this for anyone.

Green is about people helping people. It's a tribe of people writ large.

What would you like to see here that you aren't getting or don't feel like you're getting?

This is an under-utilized tool when it comes to doing practical self-help work and can be very effective. I call it an accountability partner.

People who have a philosophy of not evaluating their philosophy. But these people can be helped, it just takes relationship, love and time.

@Bjorn K Holmstrom That's a brilliant proposal. We need more post life purpose tools, I agree. It's one thing to have the life purpose and another thing to have a paying job or career that implements the life purpose.
