Why?

Ya know..... Dispite all the talk to DIn about not having a conversation or wanting/starting/having a conversation.... 12 pages, and some great discussions later..... ITs a good conversation... dispite what happened or our opinions on the OPer

Ya, I find that life has a tendency to do that........seek balance.

I will continue to believe in my personal reality while also accepting that you have one as well that is just as valid as mine. Have a lot more friends this way!

Love and Light

any interpretation of this reality is as valid as the next, and both are doomed to not be correct since it's impossible to encompass this reality with a concept

so let's all say what we want to say knowing full well it's all just our own interpretation, it's all for fun!

yes, all expressions are equal

that's the whole point

it's all just thought

the real truth is in the aware space in which all these points of view arise

You seem like one who enjoys the heavens with feet firmly grounded in the earthly realm.
So our brother is right.....you don't seem like one looking for truth. The thing is you seem to have transcended that need.
I know you don't need to hear this from me but I figured I'd say it anyway.
And that is also the beauty of you.............you don't need to hear this.........
Blessings, James

ah yes James, blessings to you

and may the bird of paradise fly up your nose!

Return blessings, Kate

and while you're reflecting

reflect on the consciousness that is reflecting

so now you're feeling better, now that a few people here have stroked your ego

something i say shoots you down

something someone else lifts you up

are you enjoying the egoic ride?

or are you more interested in seeing the ride for what it is and letting go of it?

why do we take anything anyone says about us personally/seriously???

why do we our own thoughts personally/seriously???
