RE: Do you have a favourite philosopher?

There's a requirement to have a belief. It is the anchor of our manifestation.

I'm also quite aware of projection, a truth that most people think they are free of when really they are most given to it without realizing it, much less caring to consider what they've projected. Much of the world remains in ignorance, unwilling to greet the self.

I do consider things deeper than I like to at times. Self realization is a process that is sometimes very hard. I also know that what I'm selling is what I'm buying and whatever exuberance I express relates to the strength or weight of the belief I hold. Anchor is not the best analogy but it works for me.

Understanding that, helps to mine parts of my self that might go unnoticed otherwise. As you note, this promotes thinking which becomes, one hopes, wisdom.

PS: you are unable to give me a hard time, as much as you try..

RE: Do you have a favourite philosopher?

I have a personal bias about most philosophers in that they tend to teach us what to think (or act) rather than how to think. But when you think about it, most thinking has already been encapsulated and or enshrined as belonging in whole or in part to some philosopher, so ... what's to think about really?

For this reason I appreciate sophistry to a greater degree, speciousness notwithstanding because it at least tries to escape tiring philosophies that present nothing new.



















or not.

RE: Do you have a favourite philosopher?

oooh .. Pre-emptive strikes ... rather cutesy don't ya think. Frightening, lonely, but we must carry on...

RE: Do you have a favourite philosopher?

Any proponents of Nihilism are okey dokey with me, especially if they're sophist inclined. Nothing exists, save rhetoric and song.

RE: I wish I had a dog.

The government getting their money is a given. That's why video dogs are better.

RE: What scares you the most?

Yes. It's less time if you wake early for a chance to catch sunrise in case sunset clouds over.

RE: I wish I had a dog.

They're so cool/cute.

RE: What scares you the most?

There's one in your dog thread!

RE: What scares you the most?

me either.

RE: What scares you the most?

I love sun gazing. I only made 19 minutes because of so much overcast or cold weather. It tends to feel like starting over every time now. On the beach, barefoot is ficken awesome for sun gazing.

RE: What scares you the most?

Oh yes. I have a regular , daily, hour long practice and I also ground as often as possible. That is quite difficult when it is -10 outside with a half metre of snow on the ground. I love to sun gaze as well when possible; but, sunsets and sunrises are not as plentiful as I would like in this area.

I do meditate a lot, hence the fear- of losing this connection (which I know is impossible) because of normal human distractions and concoctions of pseudo reality that I can get wrapped up in.

RE: What scares you the most?

Well, now I get it.

RE: What scares you the most?

Thanks. Normally I don't follow much mainstream media or social media but I can understand how an originally beneficial term and hence its origins and derivations, can get 'turned' to ugly by media for its own purpose.

RE: What scares you the most?

yes, but:


Sometimes there's no time for that.

Practice makes perfect. ooohhhmmmmm

RE: What scares you the most?

Ya Dan but 'woke' on this side of the pond is a pejorative term meant to belittle and or demean a group of people..

RE: I wish I had a dog.

Oops, typo. I mean to say "I wish you were a dog."


My bad. Sorry Bruce

RE: What scares you the most?

I'm not acquainted with this term though it sounds pejorative.

Ahhh, ok, thank you google definitions. Emm, no. I am way more than woke.

RE: What scares you the most?

Certainly surprises would be an expectation then?

Surprises by definition are unexpected. So, surprises are stupid?



oh boy

RE: What scares you the most?

Hi Dan

I know!!, it's impossible!! but I feel it ... errr choose it sometimes ... errrr cannot find the connection sometimes ... I don't know? Separation from source is ego driven. That's a real fear for me atm ... to loose the connection that I feel. ie separation. There's no other, what, no other whom.

RE: Eastern European, or western women .

There's more ridicule and judgement here than picking east or west. The thing about comparison is that it can only lead to judgement. Casting judgement happlessly on an entire group is ill considered if not tasteless.

As far as I know women can be pointed in any direction in order to cover me from cold nordic blasts from the arctic ... so no problemo.
