The Now just isn't what it used to be in the old days

It is the in nature of consciousness to explore itself. It comes across unexplored areas more often when it is able to drop its preconceptions. It is possible to experience the perceptual input very much the way you did before you objectified the world. There is a perspective in which everything ap...

I could reel out the bookworm answer but I'll refrain :) May I respond honestly. From 'my' experiences, the dream character's traffic remains (the mnemonic debris etc) but the grasping at it, manipulating it, has slowed. Or often the choice as to whether to associate with it or not, is apparent. Th...

If you *can* define it, you're still me-ing. At a recent gathering I ask how many people wanted to become enlightened. Almost everyone raised their hand. I ask if anyone could define enlightenment. No one raised their hand. I guess that would be right. Did they then lean in for the concrete explana...

See what I mean about the hegemony.

Toomy you post assuming all corners of this forum exist for your imagined assumption of a singular aim.

Beautiful Makara

Play, laugh, dance in the daisies.

I'm in

Just that the forum is dominated by some strident voices and my take is that there may be others just too scared to contribute for fear of their languaging getting shot to pieces.

Hegemony

But I think it's best not to try to construct a beliefsystem or a set of arguments out of some speakers sayings whether it be Tony Parsons or whoever. I don't think they mean to give us, the readers or listeners, a set of evidences. They don't want us to build 'a fortress of proofs' out of their wo...

Teachers should never be quoted out of context. They speak to the moment and to the unique set of circumstances that arise only once. You contort what Tony says to fit your pre-conceived notions. No. Those words were from the book, from the section "the choiceless choice". I felt it had a similar f...
