You have no control over what happens.

You cannot out run the speed of happening. Stay as you are, and wait and see. The magic will appear when it's ready to appear and not before.

I would say that's a pretty fair representation of DAM, I have a feeling that image will come back to me everytime I read her posts from now on.

What is that image supposed to represent about DAM...or does it represent something about DAM's posts?

Am I allowed to be in on this or is it a secret only you two are sharing?

I won't get offended, please be honest with me, Id' really like to hear your honesty, don't pretend...what does the image mean?

I think Lacewing would probably like to explain it to you so I'll leave it to her.

No need to donate just subscribe as it pays for such as you.

I'll be donating as soon as I have some decent cash flow flowing...I'd even be willing to donate a million pounds if I had that kind of money, because money means nothing to me.

Easy to say. If money means nothing to you then you won't be in the position anytime soon of having a million pounds or even a decent cash flow I reckon.

I just hope when I've donated, that my words will be of some worth or value to some one...in that I hope my words give people what they are looking for, that's all I want for people. If people are into philosophy, they are asking questions and are seeking something, my job is to help them answer their own questions and help them find what they are searching for. I'm more than happy to help other people. ...

Not looking for donations but a subscription to the magazine as it pays for the charity cases here. It won't improve the value of your words but might just improve the mods opinion of your opinion about forum things.

That's my assignment in life, to help others deal with their philosophy questions about themselves. I've got no qualifications except for life experience and all my knowledge has come straight from the sources mouth. The one that knows.

Best not make it your income source then.

What I don't get is why would anyone want to charge people for their own knowledge. Surely knowledge is free?

All my knowledge is free of charge. I wouldn't dream of making an income from sharing it.

Why, are you scared your representation will be completely different to hers?

That's opinion, knowledge generally costs to gain so it seems fair to recoup some of the cost.

For the best I think.

No, it's just that I don't want to be the one who gets you to break your promise not to be offended.

Perhaps you are taking yourself and what you say too seriously?

Yeah, you're probably right, I guess I forgot, it's always an eye for an eye when it comes to having a discussion with you.

All knowledge is opinion because it's illusory made-up stuff. The earth floating around in space in a vast universe beyond comprehension doesn't need to know itself to be what it is, to be as it is...language seems to be the only thing alive, but there is no living tissue in language ...and yet the language dictates whether something is alive or dead....knowledge basically informs the illusory reality that there are separate things walking around the planet behaving as if they have a handle on everything that's going on as if they are the knowers.....the world of knowledge is so false. That's the only real knowledge, that it is fake...but we all have to play the game, none of us have much choice, it's live the lie or die.

Knowledge is power, and people are more than willing to pay for that power and is the sickness of society. All for the penny game which never really leads anywhere, if it did we'd stop craving material goods, and people. Nothing ever satisfies because satisfaction cannot be found in the world of things or people.

? I don't understand what your statement is attempting to accuse me of.

Just more of your spew?

I know how this might sound strange to some people but I really like to see how deep and far people are willing to go to be insulting to others. This kind of human behaviour has always fascinated me. It never shocks me anymore why people choose to insult others because sometimes people wake up to the realisation that the world is a passing circus full of wild animals, humans being no different, and then there's the ultimate realisation of knowing there is no one behind those round balls of goo, puss and blood, making fun of other people, so it's kind of really funny to watch, and can be quite addictive.

There are two types of knowledge that humans adhere to.

1: You know you don't know anything.

2: You think you know, and have no awareness that you do not know what you only think you know.
