Such appears to be one person's senseless blatherings into a void due to their disassociation with it. They speak of oneness, but continually manifest separateness and disconnection.
That's fine, I'm mainly here for the entertainment as well.Lacewing wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 5:01 pmSuch appears to be one person's senseless blatherings into a void due to their disassociation with it. They speak of oneness, but continually manifest separateness and disconnection.
Tethering themselves to certain teachings, they distort that into justification for their reality. However, there is no consistency or integrity. And no standards for truth. Dishonesty and delusion don't matter because there is "no one" there, according to them. Still, there is a manic spin of "something", repeating words/phrases over and over as if trying to maintain a self-serving and self-protective trance, and preventing anything but very superficial connection with those who might be seen as "allies" (aka non-attackers, non-challengers, non-questioners).
I've had several experiences with unhinged people. I remain aware of their spirit within, while recognizing and interacting with their erratic, erupting energy. I do believe they are in control... even of being out of control. I once connected with someone who was completely flipped out, and I saw him choose to "come back". From screaming and thrashing with rage, to calmly reasoning and connecting. He denied having ever been unhinged, however -- as if it hadn't happened. Perhaps the mind and ego cannot admit or take responsibility for its reckless creative power. This makes humans dangerous to all.
This is surely why I've interacted with such people in such ways on this forum. I'm sure that there can be connection, peace, and love within and between everyone. So when I see people absurdly elevating themselves above others and acting in deranged ways, I play the game right back at them as I ask why... and ask what they're getting out of it.
It's all vanity and entertainment including my shit. The play of the one, for my entertainment only, no matter how that manifests. It is what is it, proper or not, get over it already, you stupid man child.
Viewed as an unspiritual phenomenon, God is energy.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 9:39 pm One has to be extra careful when using the word energy since it has both a scientific and a spiritual meaning and they
are not interchangeable. Therefore when I say energy I mean only in the scientific sense. I never use it in the spiritual
sense. So for me energy is mass that cannot be created or destroyed and the total mass energy of the Universe is zero
One could say that zero represents non duality but that is mixing spirituality with science and this is is not acceptable
Spirituality and Science are saying the same things, just so you know.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 9:39 pm One has to be extra careful when using the word energy since it has both a scientific and a spiritual meaning and they

Agreed.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 6:08 am I do not have a problem with me not having any say in the matter because my existence is of no real importance
I simply focus on processing what I experience or think so that I can have some basic understanding on what it is
That's basicaly what Nonduality is all about, its about resting in the pristine awareness the real self and seeing through the illusion of otherness.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 6:08 amAnd it would make no difference if the doing happened without my thinking because it would have no effect on me
I am merely an observer and so have no interest in interpreting reality to fit my preconceptions of how it should be
Agreed.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 6:08 amAn observer simply sees what is happening without trying to change it in any way
Other than things that do actually affect me I have no interest in changing reality
