Oh I get it. You're pretending to be somebody's bitch and you're claiming that Arising's avatar is what he's pretending to be.

We are consciousness. Anything we are attached to layered on top of or surrounding our pure consciousness is pretentious.

Okay... so are you wanting to discuss anything by starting this thread? If so, perhaps you can describe how this viewpoint specifically applies/manifests for yourself. Or was your purpose simply to create a thread to announce the latest quote that popped into your head?

Are you trying to identify yourself with what you think are clever quotes, but then leaving it to everyone else to explore them? Does that feel like a position of knowledge and power to you? It's not, you know. It appears fraudulent and weak. Just like some theists who might try to elevate and establish their identity by associating it with a god, when they don't demonstrate such qualities/understandings for themselves.

You use a lot of words....

You look hard but all you need to do is see.

Oh Bill, you are sooo full of bullshit. Lots and lots of bullshit. I'm betting your coffee cup is full of it too. Way too much for you to see past. Your pretense of being wise must be one of those lies that you live. There aren't enough clever quotes for you to post to conceal your ongoing demonstrations of being a dishonorable narcissist. That continually blows your cover.
