Actually, I keep meaning to ask you; what does "dualist" mean?

Dualist is existence itself.

Dualistic thinking believes that existence is the same as being.

That is, that the subject / object split is the Truth.

I'm afraid that doesn't mean much to me; I don't really understand.

Well, I didn't say Roy was perpetratin' a good goof. Though, DAM fallin' for it is high-larious.

What, like the goof you’ve fallen for, the one you converted into, that thinks a gun will save its joke of a life… dream on, coward. Imposter.

I own property: you're a dupe to Roy.

Good luck with that.

What a stroke of luck to know there is no victim here except the one you converted to…and now have to protect your property in order to preserve your victimhood…dream on coward. Imposter. Yeah sounds a lot like insanity to me.

There’s nothing to understand. That’s the only understanding there is.

That's not how I do things. Understanding is important to me.

Only insanity here is you fallin' for Roy's drivel. I'd say you oughta be ashamed, but you're not capable of shame.

Proof is in the pudding. No need to shame the shameless. That’s just insanity.

Roy’s theory is correct. It’s the only model that is sane. ..inquire within for all your insanity correcting requirements

Yeah, I'm not impressed by your faux-zen tomfoolery. It's gibberish. Roy's stuff is gibberish. You are a consumer of gibberish.

But, if it keeps you from eatin' Drano (I guess) that's a good thing (for you).

Existence is that you are there and that there is other than you.

You are not the other and the other is not yourself.

If this is the ultimate Truth, this is dualism.

However, if you start to suspect that this is not quite the Truth... here is the idea of ​​non-dualism.

Only as an intuition though.
Without being able to really think about it.

Because thought is necessarily dualistic.

The best way to feel it I think is by loving.

I'm not impressed by fools either..

Bye the way, I've heard drain cleaner is very good for cleaning out those stubborn blockages. I use it all the time, I wouldn't recommend swallowing it though, I mean that could possibly kill someone. And be careful not to use that sort of insane lingo around young children.

Roy’s theory is correct.

Meaning: you understand it, yeah?

Fine. Lay it out for me.

Can you sit in a chair without doing anything or thinking anything, and experience happiness?

You can not. If you actually engage in this simple test you will find that you can't stop thinking for more than a few seconds. You will find that your base state is not happiness and contentment, but of a continuous flow of random thoughts and emotions

Your ego will attempt to slough this information off as irrelevant but it is most relevant. It is a fact that you do not have control over your own mind. This uncontrollable mind IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR DELUSION. How can one see that they can't stop thinking and yet still think they are sane?

You can deny all you want but I see it as clearly as the lake outside of my front window. I am, out of concern for you, trying to break you out of your delusion but it has settled in very deep.

It matters not to me. Everyone deserves exactly what they get. I have received Moksha due to my engagement in the practice prescribed by Ramana Maharshi. Those who ignore the teaching will continue on in Samsara

Yes, I understand it.

I can not lay it out for you...without gorging out the entire contents of my brain and laying them all out on a table for you to rummage through, but then even if I could do that, I'm fairly 100% certain you would not be able to find ''my understanding'' in that pile of blood and bone and gristle if your life depended on it.

You have to do your own research Henry..sorry, but I cannot help you there.

Fair enough; it's my own fault for asking.
