Really? That's news to me. So according to your judgement(s), this has nothing to do with what is postulated, and everything to do with said power games, or "haters gonna hate". Interesting extrapolation and kind of comedic in its simplicity.

PS If someone said the Earth is flat for a fee, and it was pointed out that that is probably not quite kosher - can you see how even your assumption of "knowledge" falls short? Pointing that out is not undermining knowledge, because the postulation was a gimmick in the first place. I urge you not to work in any field of research

Be well.

I think I said "h8ers gun h8", and it was intentionally comedic.

My Blurb on knowledge, power and inherent resistance was more sublime and complex.

It was necessary for me to understand the operations of knowledge due to the consequences of the sort of knowledge I produced.

This is how you see it, I agree.

I see things as they are, and the above is an attempt to undermine what I say, innit.

Now it feels a bit more honest.

"I see things as they are"

Quite the authoritarian statement Feel free to keep seeing things as you see them, and judging them how you evaluate them - that's the beauty of free will, but it's not the truth of the matter. To think otherwise is tyrannical, but then again, I don't see how you've ever let information get in the way of your truths.

I know the game so it's practically impossible to play me.

I like how this more honest Gem is coming out. Game? lol - there is no game. In fact, so many of your sidesteps through these threads have been intentionally overlooked or only lightly parsed for fear of offending your sensibilities and beliefs. That you think it is a game is again one of your judgements, which again I do not agree with you on - but again will not pierce to the heart of your statements for fear of hurting your feelings and self.

Be well,

Cute.

I note that it's the dude from Post 30 of this thread - Jeff Foster:

"AWAKENING FROM AWAKENING

I used to believe people like .. Tony Parsons who said that after awakening.., the personality won't change, and there won't necessarily be any more joy, intimacy or compassion in life. In fact, after awakening, you could still be suicidally depressed, or violent, or even a serial killer, they said!

At first, it felt like such a relief to hear this radical and shocking message - it made awakening sound so simple, so down to earth, so accessible, so... ordinary. "Before awakening I'm a jerk, after awakening I'm a jerk. And I'm allowed to be a jerk now because I'm liberated and nobody can touch me. Oh and by the way, there is no me and no choice. Jerkness just happens. So what. Who cares. Get over it, sad seeker." The ego celebrated - it now had carte blanche. No responsibility! No punishment! Free reign! Nobody here! Yippee! The search was over!

I've come to see that this "neo-Advaita" message, as it's now known, is very one-sided. It's partially true, exquisitely simple, but it's not by any means the full picture (nothing is!) and can be so damaging if mis-spoken or mis-heard or mis-used."
