Development idea for actualized.org

@Leo Gura

Hello Leo Gura again! I have been watching this forum's topics and answers for a while and I have come in conclusion that we need some type of dictionary that explains basic spiritual words for newbies so we don't need to manually point out every technical word definition mistake they make. That list could be as big as we want and we could improve it day by day. Requirement for healthy and working communication is that we agree on basic word definitons and only this way we can translate information from one to another one.

Because you are web developper you could also make it work so it makes automatic link to the dictionary when one uses the word in his/her comment. That way it would be lot of easier for newbies to get into this whole spirituality and we could finally focus on deeper topics and eventually develop our lovely community. I have been reading different threads almost daily for at least 2 months and I have seen same topics coming again and again. I have got vibe - that you want to make this community better - from your thread starters and blog video so dictionary could be incredible boost for this comminity.

I consider myself good at writing and therefore I would offer help to make this change happen. Also we could make it like wikipedia that everyone can change and add something to dictionary, but you could personally verify that it makes sense and only after that modification would happen. I know this takes first lot of work, but I know that you are "strategic motherfucker :D" so you should know that this has exponential profit in a long run.

We could also make dictionary also to include basic logical fallacies so whenever anyone sees someone making basic logical mistake we could point that out using link so our time wouldn't go to explain same problems all day long. I would say that this frees so much confusion and time that actually this whole community could skyrocket and evolve into something way better that you have even thought about. Actually we have chance to make something remarkable in spiritual history that could be good stepping stone to new spiritual generation.

Also we have another problem which is that we have too many threads and lack of quality in them. Quality over quantity bro . There should be limit of how many new threads can one user make in a week and that would help to ensure better quality in posts. Of course moderators and well chosen users could have chance to make little bit more threads, but that would stop people from asking same stupid thing in a row.

@Leo Gura comment here something so I know that you have at least read this and give some opinions that could something like this be possible in a future.

FOR EVERYONE READING THIS

This is something I would call as a good topic starter and you should aim to even half of the quality that this thread has on your own thread starters. Also we should give respect to @justfortoday, because he made very high quality post recently.

Reader, I love you <3

A list of definitions doesn't do anything if you don't have the experiential reference points to understand them. To give the impression that you can speak clearly about these things has an element of double bind.

Here is the problem behind all confusion in spirituality: it's about an experience, and what you get from teachers in the form of words is never that. It doesn't matter if it's God-realization or non-duality.

I like the idea of a glossary

I think this could be helpful. At the very least, if people want to use a common word in a different way than it is generally understood, they can clarify that they are using the word with a different meaning. I’ve had a number of conversations here where it feels like we’re lightly arguing/debating when at the end of the exchange it is discovered we were essentially talking about a very similar point although our definitions were different which caused us to appear to be in disagreement.

As I have said earlier you need theoretical understanding and direct experience in order to develop in spirituality. Thing is that NOW in this forum people don't understand even basics of the things and they constantly have too much to think and only thing here happens is neverending debating about definitions of the words.

Actualized.org is very theoretical spiritual channel, because Leo uses lot of his time just to answer for basic misunderstandings and that would be so much easier with dictionary here. People all the time ask about which is this and that and my opinion is that this forum is not for asking definitions of words, but like you said to do these things actually in practise. This forum should be deeper than just debating about definitions of words and that is just my honest opinion.

These people will never get into deep practise and even if they would they could understand things wrongly and fall into all traps that there are without proper guidance. Point of theoretical understanding is just to avoid unnecessary confusion and this dictionary could be good for this goal. 

Hope that you see what I try to point out my lovely friend <3
