Announcement
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)

Re: open thread
You are me, and I am you.
Isn't it obvious that we "inter-are"?
You cultivate the flower in yourself,
so that I will be beautiful.
I transform the garbage in myself,
so that you will not have to suffer.
I support you;
you support me.
I am in this world to offer you peace;
you are in this world to bring me joy.

it may not be known what exactly it is, but obviously is there. That it IS, isnt that great news.....
yes, it was also meant in communication. why to be so doubtful to the other communication-partner, as you are for example. but you have a very smooth communication-skill, magnetic. so it must be something (may be for me)..äh..or otherwise..hmm..i lost the thread again

yes, thats it. using the words without the conditioned beyond, and speaking mainly about what is, which is unknown;-)

yeah, love understands beauty, understands peace, gentleness, magnificent, kindness, eternal life, sacredness, fearlessness, wholeness, passion, creativity, spontaneity...........understanding without love, is like a flower without parfume, without aroma, like a plastic flower, it looks like it is a flower, but is not, no smell, it does not attract life arround it-self, no bees come to it, no one goes to smell it, it is in the corrner there by it-self, to fill the gaps in the house, so it does not look empty.........
indeed, good night, magnetic

understanding in which is no intellect, no "I" who understood, how shall I transmit this understanding?

well, the big letters are for topics relating to truth, these days i just goof around.....
did it sound better with the well upfront?
i overread it. but i think the "well" sounds snobistic. i will try not to use it. Do you mean in GOOFYING IS NO TRUTH?;-)

Re: open thread
might be, feeling of katharsis is limited. it cannot replace the sense of transformation in which is the ending of consciousness

as i observe it, good goofying relationship had to stray away from TRUTH, meaning it had to be more of the imaginative play, the creative side of consciousnes, rather about the consciousness it-self........seems when truth is related about consciousnes, goofying attitude is leads to offence, have not found a way to goof around speaking the truth at the same time. Actually have done it a bit, but cannot go too deep, without being detected........and then creativity is turned into questioning about its nature, and is it beneficial, is it truth....stuff like this, which totally takes the point of goofying around......
mags, to wonk is to allow the creative side of consciousness to play with itself, which ends up with an understanding expressed in a way that it no longer has the imprimatur of seriousness.
It is as if there is a third-person report on one's first-person, where the distance between gets around the problem of ownership.
It is my experience of wonking that the third-person stance releases the first-person stance to the care of words, which leak like a sieve, which means that one's sense of self gets goofy.
