Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Ahhh yes, the presence of evil.  When you've seen one mind that believes in evil, you've seen em all.  The herd of clones.

Not a question of belief. This division, me and they is the root of evil.

Re: true nature expressing differences

The 'before' means what Javaraj said: change.

  That was a comment on no. 50.

Cognizance is knowledge, so you just went around in a circle(in record time)...as expected.  Yawn.

I said perceiving through the sensory organs.

Look sir, discussing implies seeing the context in which words are used & understanding what is said.It requires looking beyond the words not jump to conclusions overlooking what is implied just to win.

All animals perceive through the sensory organs so according to you all animals draw from "past knowledge" and thus "stored experience".  Where's the problem?

According to what I said all living beings gather knowledge from sensory perception which is stored & then drawn up on whenever needed.

The problem is sensory perception sees objects in an unchanging way & thus man goes on to build images about people from experiences oblivious of the fact that things are in a flux & then find themselves in conflict with the present which is never the same. You got the point sir? Man gets himself into a trap because of the limitation of the senses.

If you look at me without the words then you cannot see anything because man, which is 'me', 'you' is only words.So you used words & made an image which you call me which is the trap I talked above.

The senses don't always fail to see objects in an unchanging way. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.  This is the case with every animal.  Every species of animal has a differing capacity to perceive change and flux....it differs even amongst humans.  Some are still stuck in the tar pits, some aren't.  Where is the problem?

Jayaraj wrote:

Trap? Why not just say it is a challenge? To call it a "trap" is fine too as every "trap" in nature is part of survival and part of challenging the species to be stronger and more intelligent....those that fall in the trap perish, those who see the trap for what it is, live on...and the species adapts/evolves. 

Every animal is limited by the senses and always will be, including the human. There has never been a problem, there isn't a problem, nor will there ever be one. All animals face the challenge of illusions on a daily basis.  Show me one animal that is not facing the challenge of camoflauges, mimicry, traps, and perception of flux on a daily basis.  Traps are everywhere in nature and they are part of the perfect symbiosis of the one organism that we are.

Not true at all.  When I look without words I see a animal, who is falling into a trap.  Should I reach into the spider web and take out the moth?

Is that you Shade, Mark, Martin? I've changed my mind on UG by the way. Dude, just ignore what I said before you left the ning site. C'mon back. You were the sanest of the crazies!

Re: true nature expressing differences

you see, you have followers Eden
its not so bad
the effort has not been in vain

UG eh, oh dear oh dear
the other Krishnamurti,
this man is really crazy, and not in a nice way

it shows how truly lost people are that they can even look at his face, his eyes, and not see the darkness, the despair
he went so into himself that he got lost in himself
and called it...
well he talks a lot
the shameless fraud!

give a hundred homeless his kind of childhood and education and at least one or two of them will convince a few gatherings that they have come back from the mountaintop with some tablets of the truth...

LOL. UG was as domesticated as they come....totally crazy. The funny thing is that  even though he was a totally miserable nut job he was still somehow able to occasionally utter more intelligent stuff than you.

Nothing that comes out of you is alive, so that can only signify one thing.

First let me get the sand out of your ears, come here...Did K speak to the perfection of the world as it is or did he speak to attempt (albeit unsuccessfully) to show people who were suffering psychologically what they were doing?  Don't be an ass eden, you understood the question.  Take your head out of the sand and look, and tell me why you visit here, if you can see it.

Hi Joe:  That's a good perspective -  "did he speak to attempt (albeit unsuccessfully) to show people who were suffering psychologically what they were doing?"  In my case successfully.

might look crazy because you keep deleting your posts and insults...including the one that this comment was in response to. 

I guess you weren't 'aware' when you typed them, and then you became 'aware' of the non-sense that they were and so you deleted them?
