Maybe you can get one or more of your peers to explain things to you. Try a support group. Might even try . . . . gosh do I say it . . . . actually studying something! Sorry, I did not mean to offend you. One thing you said is true, no amount of evidence put under your nose is going to constitute proof of anything. I believe that. I really do. |

These are the wisdomful ramblings of a self proclaimed philosopher who cannot keep his cooth in a civil discussion. |

I apologize if you could not read even one of the books I posted on my website. No reflection on you though. Now you want to pick the lint off my ass and scream about that too. What a mind! I admire you. |
|
Lol, you are honestly, mad... I'm pretty sure that you are responding in this way due to the fact that i made you feel intelectually inferior. Must you insist with the insults? Good luck with whatever the hell your talking about oh great wise man... Hopefully you can keep your story straight in the future. Oh and next time try not dodging every question with an irrelevant shady answer... |
|
Oh, yes, you have gravely humbled me. Undone years of study, by your great wisdom. My laughter is only my madness!!!! |

Calling a man mad twice, is a reflection of behaviour. |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
Well, I think I am failing in my objective here. Anyone know how to get off this site and have all posts deleted? |
|
I guess only an admin/moderator can help you there. Click the staff button under the Dream Views banner. I'll miss you! |
|
You just leave. We don't do mass deletions. |

this has been an interesting, if confusing, conversation to read. Better than most soap operas! |

Hi I'm Luffers, quite possibly the smartest person you'll ever meet*

Why did people attack this man for showing his world? |

What are you reffering to? There were but two posts by anyone even doubting his world, or his opinion. I for one am very interested in his world and reason. But their is an extreme lacking in his ability to explain it. Every answer was a dodge from the question. Typing intelligent phrases does not mean it was an intelligent answer. I think most are just frustrated that he would not simply share his "so called" knowledge which is why they were frustrated. I for one feel that way. Of course that makes me doubt if there is actually any knowledge to be spoken of. Or only some fancy metaphorical responses that are in no way relevent to the questions he was asked. Or perhaps you or i misread. Either way, its not as big of a deal as it has been made. Just an intelligent conversation which i for one enjoyed. Of course he did say that finding a mate was his goal on these forums. So by saying he is not accomplishing what he set out to, and therefore is deleting his account, could even mean he has realized this is not the place. Thank god for that. My point is noone attacked this man for his world, and i said many times he is as simple minded as the rest of us no better or no worse. All of our worlds are in fact as wild and with that i agree with you cloud. This topic should be closed. |

While I find no interest in this persons reasons for being on these forums, what was said by him does have certain relavance. |

Finally you have stepped towards what i was trying to get out of you... Your information to share. I agree with you completely. In that i understand mans too common mistake in misunderstanding intelligence. Sometimes i wander if it is a blessing or a curse to those that others do consider intelligent. Humans often react harshly and even feel threatened by those of higher thinking. This is in part why so called "nerds" are mistreated in schools. When in all reality they should be highly respected. It is hard to determine however, whether this is a natural human reaction which is uncontrollable by the individual. Or if it is simply acting out on jealous emotions. Why do some feel threatened by those with knowledge instead of trying to learn from them and thrive on their own? It's a much too common mistake that im afraid we will never solve. A mystery, that will never be discovered. |

So, we shouldn't judge other things... we should work on ourselves and try to gain knowledge? Is that part of what's being said? |
|
First of all, prejudice is often called judgment, it is not. Judgment follows specific grammartical laws; these laws parallel physical law. If one does not know them, then what they say has nothing to do with judgment. One has to learn judgment, or, as a great philosopher once said, well, you know, you probably read it--about the mote and the beam in one's eye. When you have a group of things, all covered by the same definition, then one can refer to any item in the group, while meaning another. Plato actually tried to get the reader to start thinking about this in Parmenides. For example "blind, deaf, lame, poor, hungry" but not knowing it, refers all, to the one not mentioned, mind. This is the art of metaphor. Only when one "sees" what they are, do they know where they are at. |

In Dzogchen its has been said that in order for one to be able to help others, one must first, above all else, help oneself. |

One part I understand, the other is a contradiction. |
