Posted December 20, 2020 The beginner is the furthest on the path in-it, wonderstruck, free of a seeker wrath's for instead of the wise man's words he admires the woke-as-fuck birds. The beginner is an enlightened comedian laughing at the walls of Plato's cave "God is nothing but Life, a bohemian Knowledge is a master -- I'm not her puppet nor her slave."

Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Sometimes ignorance itself removes blocks. The seeker seems to add more blocks the 'further along', only to tear them down again like mere play things. Perhaps not ignorance but unknowingness. Edited December 20, 2020 by seeking_brilliance Check out my lucid dreaming anthology series, Stars of Clay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 21, 2020 Pure truth has no appeal to the human mind. Yet in adding sugar and spice and funny hats, it ceases to be pure truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) reminds me of that meme where a man digs down to find a ladder, then comes back up the ladder, and feels "I did it". I wanted to find happiness, Spirituality was just another way I kept going and seeking some word I thought I was one special man, out of the sheep herd Slowly I saw what I sought wasn't even away It is the most normal, why did I want to be special? It is the most informal, it is the most humble. It is so humble that there is not even you. What I always wanted was this big, "Phew!" Of realizing that it's so meaningless that it's meaningful.

Because exactly this is a reason, why knowledge is better than ignorance. Otherwise how do you know , that you are moving in right direction, that your mind/ your ego is not playing games on you. Please tell me nothing abou intuition. It´s so widely misunderstood, almost as bad as the god. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2020 @Hulia Of course I do not mean it ironically to suit your worldview. Religion is genuinely making their lives better. You may have epiphaneous awakenings and still be religious. God is just filtered through notions and beliefs. This is basic application of systems thinking. Sounds like you have a shadow against religion. Instead of arguing, go figure. This convo is over. Have the last word if you please. @Swarnim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2020 @Hulia sometimes you have to trust Intuition on whether or not to trust your Intuition ? Check out my lucid dreaming anthology series, Stars of Clay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2020 @seeking_brilliance :))))))) I try to be open-minded. But I still prefer a scientific approach over blind faith. Faith is always blind, it´s a definition of faith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Intuition is a bit different than faith. Faith is believing in something you haven't seen. Intuition is knowing when to believe, often times through trial and error and the wisdom of ages.

Posted December 21, 2020 @seeking_brilliance I bet, the majority of Trump voters belong to those who rely on their intuition This is how propaganda works. I cannot beleive, I don´t have this mechanismus in my brain. Whether I know that something is true or I assume that something might be true. This assumption is probably what you call intuition. But it´s not a beleive it´s an assumption. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His supporters are mostly a part of a mob mentality (as with many of his opponents). They say intuition is a skill that can be enhanced with effort. I cannot comment from experience, though.

Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Even a buddha is ought to be the furthest on the path! For he knew, he found the cure But was he really ever sure? For it was just a zest For an ever lasting quest Oh! you are but just an ignorant worm Who think he is a buddha! but is just another superfluous form He who is ignorant might one be the furthest But yet he is free of those superfluous forms of what a so called buddha is nothing but a mere puppet So only he shall be labelled a Buddha Who is there, yet the— Furthest Edited December 21, 2020 by ajai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2020 @ajai Thanks for chipping in with your poetic melody. People round these wilds have a wonderful ability of intellectualizing the hell out of life's simplest of forms - Art - so I love to see the revival of wonder and awe.
