I can't watch the video roy becuz I'm already enlightened, but I'm sure it's good. What I do know is that you have the most awesome crib I have ever seen in a YouTube video. What is that, a house, apartment, what?

Is that a spiral staircase behind you back there?

Freaking dope.

Discovery channel should do a whole series called Philosophy's Dopest Cribs just on the premise of Roy's place, alone. In fact that would be the pilot episode.

Imagine how much more badass Spinoza would have been if he had Roy's place instead of this little fuckin old ass 17th century boarding room or whatever it is....

there's an old 17th century Portuguese rationalist philosopher saying that goes 'quiet the soul and live modestly, give us only small room, our books and our bread'. This is stoic nonsense. i say get a fuckin pool table in there and a mini bar and a workout room and all that man. plus spinz could have a whole section of that upstairs area behind Roy to set his lens grinding stuff up in.

I love that room, though RD probably has better heat. But then Spinoza came up with new concepts. RD is just rehashing. His disorganized arguments are new, as far as I can tell, but the conclusions...I mean, there were like 50 sort of well known people in the 60s saying the same stuff. If only he'd been born a bit earlier. He could be giving workshops at Esalen right now and getting rolfed after dinner. Who needs a great crib when you're just feet from the Pacific with coastal pines breaking the wind and educated hippies filling your coffers for neo-eastern spirituality word-collages.

I have a 3-story tower as well.

It's like living in an Escher drawing. It's a conduit that increases creativity

Roy, Enlightenment is not a theory.

Enlightenment is that which does away with all theories.

Roy, the purpose of the game is not to end the game.

It is to play the game of duality and forget it's nondual.

This is obvious, because if every one stopped playing the game, they wouldn't be able to tell themself it's game over.

You have never known game over.

"Do you have it?"
"Si, señor, I have it."
"Good, now we wait!"
"For whom?"
"For nunya business, Pedro!"
"Ah! "

Big question for Roy Dopson

What is wrong with samsara?

What is wrong with samsara?

I think the roydrop will agree that:

Equanimity creates the level field for the play of samsara and nirvana, and without equanimity there can be no enlightenment, but only the quest of a dream of leaving and then arriving. If you give it some thought, you will agree too.

According to Roy’s latest video presentation.

Humanity has fucked up, and if they don’t change their ways then they deserve nothing but extinction.

We must therefore remove ourselves from this planet in a smooth gentle way, until we are no more.

Glass half empty.
