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: What it means to be alone?

fodder sans mudder: "Yes, I might put it even more strongly - our view of others is generally distorted by self-interest.  Yet the difficulty of seeing the false in oneself is immeasurably greater.   It's almost by definition that we don't see the false in ourselves - for any such seeing would effect immeasurable changes in our selves.  And so we hesitate - usually forever."

So, the obvious difficulty is hesitation. What causes one to hesitate? The obvious answer is that the hesitation occurs before there is a leap into that which one cannot look into before one leaps.

Such a blind leap could be called a leap of faith, for who is to catch the leaper if that hole has no bottom?

Well, the easy way around that is to leap into the curve of space where free fall is the still and the hole at the bottom is always open.

The waves start at the top of the head and the shower is invigorating…

"False" in another and in onself? Sorry guys but though I can't explain it, that thought, "false" is a distraction when one makes to see such things.

It's just a word, a pointer. If a person takes the image of him/herself to be more than the thought that it is, then it seems that is false.
