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)

Wasn't it K that said you can only understand that which you truly love?

Can you say that you have truly fallen in love with violence, brutality, rape, war, romance, materialism, greed, consumerism, pornography and all the rest of it?  If you haven't yet seen the the true nature of all this as the most incredible love simply trying to break free from its shells--if you haven't yet seen this all as the beautiful dark side of love disconnected from the heart, then you will never understand it.  You will never fall in love with it until it is all seen as pure love itself.

As long as your mind continues to say 'this is love' and 'this is not love', you will stay in your shells. You true radiant beauty will never fully shine through your body.  It will stay partially hidden behind forums, agreeing on points with the bruces of the world whose only passion in life is to point out that which is love, and that which is not.

Sir, now you have completey lost me, and seeme to have gone off into another one of your patterned thinking.  But thanks for your feed back. :-)

Re: openness

Going through life saying "that is love" and "that is not love" is the oldest pattern of all.  Eventually you may discover that it is all love.  I understand that you haven't the slightest clue what I am talking about and that is perfectly fine.  You will no doubt find plenty of minds that see life in duality/division as you do, and when you are ready to go beyond that pattern, you will.

I am curious...How can you love that which is supposedly "not love"?

Re: openness

My freind please read krishnamurties for dummies chapter 1 and then come back and talk, until then save your theories for other david dieda clowns.  There is no eventually, one day finally when you will break open.  There is no time but your entire theory is based upon time, upon becoming something and you fail to see the contradictions in your theories, or duality as you say.

Re: openness

Eden has it completely confused and is confusing himself with meaningless questions.  I thought he'd be able to figure out for himself instead of asking others "how", "why".

It's kinda ridiculous even for me to state this, but I will anyways.  To see disorder for what it is, is order.  Order doesn't come about by introducing more theories of, "what should be", or could be.  To see things as they are requires a mind that is clear with no preconceived notions.  It is only love that sees things as they are and in seeing so there is no need to condemn, justify, accept.  But it seems like Eden has some resistance to see simple facts, and goes off into telling how it should be, and all sorts of jibberish, and this resistance is but made of all the ideas that've been accumulated by various new age teachers along the way.

Re: openness

Now Eden thinks rape is love, jealousy is love, and when I say it is not, he is threatened, and reacts angrily, because he has been conditoned to think that violence is love, greed, competetion is love.  That happens when your heart and mind has never touched that thing called love.  It doesn't know what it means to love, not that you can "know it. It has never truly, wholly inquired into it's own heart and mind to begin with.

Re: openness

I read the other day, kirsten, that many women fantasise being raped!!? It's really horryfying as it speaks a lot of people's inner desires and dreams and their lives and minds and hearts, how disconnected and unloved they must feel.  Absolutely I'm not one of 'em.

That's because you don't know the joys of friendly competition. Not unlike our good friend K. No worries though, to each its own - I am not too much into baking myself.

I never said there was "one day finally when you will break open".  I was using the phrase "breaking free" from patterns, in the same way you were speaking of "ending patterns".  We are saying the exact same thing.  If your mind wasn't racing so fast and trying so hard to discredit me and my words, you might have noticed that, as it is fairly obvious.

As for theories...I am not speaking of any theories.

Disorder is a pattern. One sees the patterns and they end, essentially. That is the pattern recognition I am speaking of, obviously. What is 'seeing disorder' if not the simple recognition of a useless or dangerous pattern? The only ridiculous thing here is the fact that you are trying to discredit and hurl accusations upon someone who is sharing the exact same thing with slightly different words.

Angrily?   

Like I said, you will find plenty of minds who will be happy to go through life with you pointing out that which is love, and that which is not. You will find forums filled with them, and so for you, life is abundant.

It is only "horrifying" to a mind that doesn't understand it.  A mind that truly sees into the matter is not at all "horrified" by it(or anything in life for that matter) and in fact understands and sees the beauty in the feminine urge to be 'ravished' from which it arises. Rape and ravishment are the same exact urge, one being simply a movement disconnected from the heart.  Ravishment, or that feminine longing/yearning to be taken by the masculine, becomes a rape fantasy when it is disconnected from the heart.  Rape is the closest thing to 'ravishment in love' that they know, and so it is natural for them to long for that in the only way that they are familiar.

Re: openness

It's not a theory at all kirsten... it's a fact that women with a strong feminine sexual essence are sexually aroused by masculine energy.  sexual polarity is not a theory rather it is a law of nature that anyone can observe in themselves and in others. Nearly every body has this polarity to different degrees, though of course there are asexual humans who are essentially neutral.

Any lazy mind can go around claiming that what others are pointing out is 'theory'.  I could do it all day everyday...anyone can.  You don't have the energy to look into it, that is fine.  Most people don't.

More jibberish from an immature mind fed with all sorts of theories and beliefs.

Always funny stuff pearl. As a matter of fact I'm not freaking out in the slightest so I have no idea what it is you are hearing...an echo perhaps? Totally relaxed, having a totally mellow day here. Headed to the park with the little one in a few minutes. Couldn't careless who agrees with what I am sharing or who perceives it as freaking out. Enjoying it all fully and opening to whatever response it provokes.

No doubt totally lost in love here. Not able to distinguish so clearly as you between that which is love and that which is not. Feeling it all as love and seeing the many forms loves takes, and the many shells love is trapped in.  Opening more fully to all and never been as deeply happy and clear as I am now.
