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)

What I can tell you is this....  There was a time in my life when I did clearly sense the danger of the course mankind was on.  It was a real sense of primal danger, felt in the body.

The only danger you are feeling(if you are even actually feeling it) is your own impending annihilation as you are living in such a way that is unsustainable for your own body.

So you're not aware of any danger. And you only care about yourself. Your own survival. Isn't this the very essence of the selfishness?

If this is what you have concluded from what I have shared so far, clearly no communication is possible between us, not even the tiniest bit.

As long as someone has one belief, one religion, or one myth that they cling to....that one is more than enough to totally eliminate the possibility of all communication.  Like I have said from day one....whether your mind is full of 10000 beliefs or contains just 1, it makes no difference at all. In fact 1 idea is enough to spawn 10000 others(and the spawning is inevitable).

Did it take thousands of posts back and forth to realize this, or wait it maybe you're so desparate and utterly lonely that you come on to this forum and engage such minds day after day...with whom no communication is possible!  Until now I was under the impression that you were somewhat intelligent, but now I assume you are utterly lonely and desparate as bruce and all the well meaning christians onboard...;-)

Of course I realized it from day one.  I've stated my reasons for being here quite a few times, and it certainly had nothing to do with trying to communicate with humans like brucey who are utterly lost in their beliefs and abstractions. 

Should I assume the reason that you continue to bicker with the average joes and the bruces and the K nuts is that you are utterly lonely?  I will not make such an assumption because unlike you I am not full of lame and dull assumptions.  If I were to assume something about you I would probably assume that you are here because you are a super open and totally free chick wanting to connect with two totally cool and totally open dudes like night and myself who are enjoying life to the fullest...but of course I will not assume such a thing ;-)

Your alpha male theory means that: selfishness. I didn't say that, you did.

Re: wonderful world

A still mind is not seeking experience of any kind. And if it is not seeking and therefore is completely still, without any movement from the past and therefore free from the known, then you will find, if you have gone that far, that there is a movement of the unknown that is not recognized, that is not translatable, that cannot be put into words;then you will find that there is a movement which is of the immense. That movement is of the timeless because in that there is no time, nor is there space, nor something in which to experience, nor something to gain, to achieve. Such a mind knows what is creation -not the creation of the painter, the poet, the verbalizer; but that creation which has no motive, which has no expression. That creation is love and death.k

Thanks for keeping my life simple miss pearl.  The temptation of more feminine energy in my universe might be too much for me to handle as I am already swimming in it and with you I might just drown.

Lovely beach day here....looking for seashells with the little one....playing chase, and being chased, then some swimming, more frolicking, a break for coconut juice and then off to another beach, more frolicking, some tide pool exploration, some more chasing, and then a stubbed toe necessitating a long piggy back ride....finally a blissful rest in the hammock at sunset.

Feeling myself opening, ever deeper, always noticing the subtle closures and transmuting them into evermore openness.

The body has many needs--it is busy sharpening many skills.  If you think my language skills are fairly impressive, well, you should see me open a coconut.

Piece of cake that one: one, if it is the predator!
