@AION Man, they are really piling on you. Hang in there bro.

@Emerald The issue to me is the problem of the duality of the relative vs. The Absolute. Seems like a lot of people see others operating from the relative and can point that out, but then have a blind spot about their own relative perspective -- i.e., they kinda sidestep that and assume they have access to The Absolute without any bias.

Part of the problem here is assuming thinking is conceptualizing. I broaden thinking to creating, especially artistic creating. So when we say: Can the Absolute can be known? This doesn't mean it has to be known conceptually. It is thought directly -- not conceptually. The Creator can recognize itself without concepts. This is "Self-Realization", but way beyond where most people think the scope of this word is because they develop a concept of The Absolute, and then indefinitely identify with that meaning. Their concept of Self-Realization comes from Indian Philosophy not from direct experience.

You get to a point where you can see through a lot of nonsense.

There is truth in this. People tell you what they want, not what they have a lot of the time. If you had it, you wouldn't need it.

Then we have the arrogantly humble people.

@Inliytened1 Do you know your MBTI?

Manifestation is really simple. You either manifest it or you don't.

I'd like to see you do more interviews and discussion with others about what you say here.

I think so. You can read Spinoza for a great pointer. Philosophy is a great pointer for sober awakenings.

Let the man cook. I agree.

That we should be high consciousness.

You too man. Come around more often!

I completely disagree with this. But that's fine. I celebrate the fact that this position can be heard.

Great production and engineering on this album.

The need to appear pure and clean and above and over others.

I think @Inliytened1 is being misunderstood in a way. I think he is trying to get real about dating in the way he sees it. He is always open to discussion. It is an interesting counter-balance to the over-intellectualized accounts of dating that seem to fly over the heads or under the heads of most people.

Be willing to have a good faith discussion about ideas, even if you might not like or want to be challenged. This is a value of doing good philosophy: You welcome discussion, and even good faith criticism. If you just want to be right, you are not doing philosophy.

This raises the issue of Epistemology. What is it to know? Who is the knower, and what are the criteria for knowing? If Truth can be known, then that naturally raises the issue of Epistemology. But can the conclusion to this philosophical issue resolve Truth in the spiritual sense?

This is a great topic for a video you could create.

I tend to see Truth as beyond Philosophy. Philosophy can serve a pointer function at best for Truth IMO. Truth is a realization. https://www.actualized.org/insights/profound-quotes-144

Psychology is sometimes a real limiting belief. It depends.
