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)

Wow JIhads are good . :-)

Good and bad, hmmm?

Wasn't that a divine response? Or is war is good outside the field of divine responses ? :-)

I understand the concept you have of being a nobody is true psychologically only, not true technically about you as far as being a mostly hairless animal who performs habitually like others in society entertaining himself named Bruce and dining himself, and taking himself to  movies other real animals invented for him, and acted in them for him and others to enjoy and to to watch who make a living doing that  . As far as us getting a handle on what you are saying it is our own lack or inability to understand or your own to explain yourself clearly . You bicker, eat do most  everything animals do,you seem to have  just changed your name or label? If nothings there how do you label it, theres nothing to label like an empty space .  i AM NOBODY is really a big self center  ?   We as others are not under you, or above you but there is no such thing as a universal truth that we are not animals made up of the same matter . Only a truth we are not our labels or images of ourselves, or our ideas, and conclusions and beliefs or virtually in control of every aspect of our lives . We are living entities trying to live adequately in the safety, and illusion of security, seeking the pleasure of memory, moving into the future as memory,  and failing to see we are  asleep or living mostly unaware self projected lives programmed by our society . Some of us are looking into that, and inquiring, and seeing newly what has happened generally to dividing, and following, and leading mankind trapped in psychological self delusions and neurosis, and other mental states .    :-)

Yes sir, but me who? Who is behind the image that you see I project, the image of a nobody? Who is the projector? You haven't answered this.

Your asking me to tell you who you are ? I don't know .That is only one of many good questions to ask yourselves, not ask others, and accept their answers . :-)

Is my projector different from your projector? Or rather, is the projector who is me different than the projector who is you? Are there many projectors, or is there only one?

Totally false. It depends how open one is.  I see badly sunburned bodies constantly, and in fact it is painful to see.  That openness can extend further outward also, and one who is totally open can feel into the heart of another even better than they can feel into their own.

This, the most relevant question of all still escapes you(or you are still running from it). Let's see if you will finally face it(not holding my breath)

Obviously Not God or  what created the brain, because if you think the same thing that created the magnificence of the cosmos, the order in nature, health, actually  invented superstitious thought and this divisive  chaotic disorder, and mess mankind invented on earth founded, and rooted in superstition, your sadly mistaken. :-)

In some cases, this is possible. In most cases, it is just a process of projecting and imagination.

The fact is that if I was in excruciating pain from sunburn right now, you would not know one way or the other.

Ah, so now you are differentiating between the heart of another and one's own heart. Yes, this differentiation can be made, as long as one understands that there are two distinct entities.

Most cases?  I am not interested in most cases, nor am I talking about projecting or imagination.  Actual physical empathy and/or feeling the pain of another is natural when one is open to feel.  For one who is capable of deep/wide openness, that capacity to feel deeply into another and deeply into the entire world, is always there, though one's attention may be narrowed down to a specific task at a given moment.

There is a time and a place to feel wide and deep, and there is a time and a place to narrow down one's attention totally.

Your incapacity to feel that every moment is divine does not make it any less so. If you can't feel it then it only indicates that you live in a narrow world and that you need to grow in your ability to feel the moment, now, what is. Not try to fix it.

You and I agree that duality poses no threat to the whole...it will be weeded out by nature in its own time(just as it was in our own body), and yet life is still as good and open as it will ever be, right now.

Look, there are rare cases when people "see behind the veil". Obviously, when you are beating up on bruce sean you are not feeling empathy (and don't even pretend it's what he needed). I am very familiar with empathy, so no need for continued explanations

What is interesting is the rest of my post was plowed over. Do you feel any pain from beans' body right now? How about from all the other 6.5 billion humans on the planet? If we really look at this, we'll see that form includes physical borders, distinct entities (which of course are also all connected).

You yourself distinguished between your heart and the hearts of others. Language use represents our understanding, so if one didn't see this distinction, it would have been phrased in a different way.

Re: Sorrow

The traditional standard is imitation, and conformity .Now when anyone takes the fact that only individuals can affect the world, and applies that traditional standard to all others except themselves. They are not individuals at all but despots and more pathetic Castro's and dictators, and exploiting Sai babas, or exploiting oshos and Gurus, and spiritual positive thinking inspirational theorists misleading others in the world, making money off the sweat of their toil .:-)

So anyone not agreeing with your beliefs  must be delusional   ? I see That is just more divine superstition and disappointed thought, as a reaction . I am sorry you feel that way I did not mean to sound like I was talking down to you . Sometimes I am to reasonable, or  technical making a point .   How do you say yes or no to anything if you cannot identify what is false, or true in life regardless of good, or bad social morals, or personal pleasure or real rights like fairness and free speech. Or just say no to real wrongs like mass executions, drone attacks anywhere, collateral damage, genocide, corporate pollution , bondage,  slavery, forced female prostitution, exploitation, child labor, fixed marriages, female genital mutilation,  hunting animals to extinction, forced indebtedness of children, false imprisonment, torture  and  war  ? Not that I have covered everything happening in your neighborhood, or being committed in your name by your government, but just the ones close to you ? How do you see What is and not act or even say NO ?  Is your idea about observe dispassionately, and believe that  is divine observation  or the idea see and  do nothing blocking our  me, or you, or the other  ? :-)

There is only one heart.  Each body varies in its capacity to feel the oneheartness of all beings.  This varying capacity to feel oneness, doesn't change the nature of oneness.  Are we clear?

Why are you accusing me of hatred when its blatantly in print that  your merely clever, and hateful and wishy washy about everything spiritual when spirituality itself is a self delusion or neurotic condition of the self  ? Mankind invented the self consciousness of memory, living as only a conditioned thought being, or psyche . Are you asking what created the brain or the animal, or the the cosmos ? I don't know do you ? :-)

Re: Sorrow

To Destroy hate. We see the world of hate taking its harvest at the present. This world of hate has been created by our fathers and their forefathers and by us. Thus ignorance stretches indefinitely into the past. It has not come into being by itself. It is the outcome of human ignorance, a historical process, isn't it? We as individuals have cooperated with our ancestors, who, with their forefathers, set going this process of hate, fear, greed, and so on. Now, as individuals, we partake of this world of hate so long as we, individually, indulge in it.The world,then, is an extension of yourself. If you as an individual desire to destroy hate, then you as an individual must cease hating. To destroy hate, you must dissociate yourself from hate in all its gross and subtle forms, and so long as you are caught up in it you are part of that world of ignorance and fear.

Then the world is an extension of yourself, yourself duplicated and multiplied. The world does not exist apart from the individual. It may exist as an idea, as a state, as a social organization, but to carry out that idea, to make that social or religious organization function, there must be the individual. His ignorance, his greed, and his fear maintain the structure of ignorance, greed, and hate. If the individual changes, can he affect the world, the world of hate, greed, and so on? ...The world is an extension of yourself so long as you are thoughtless, caught up in ignorance, hate, greed, but when you are earnest, thoughtful and aware, there is not only a dissociation from those ugly causes that create pain and sorrow, but also in that understanding there is a completeness, a wholeness.
