Blunt selfishness simply doesn't suit a jealous truth seeker. That kind of selfishness involves judging others for merely following their own nature. Such selfishness robs others of the chance to see and hear this MASTER, which is clearly what you're so desperate to prevent. Keep your tongue in check, truth seeker. Don't drag your small-selfish perspectives into a space you claim is "SPIRITUAL."🙂
Aha... so does that mean you just don't feel like writing to them the way you feel like writing to me? Maybe, maybe not—it’s easy to say. The only real question is what they actually *want* to write 😁
But people have to walk their own paths through experience... you have every right to 😉

To the SOUL who understands they are MAD, no further knowledge is required, my fellow truth seeker. Only a TRUE MASTER reaches such a state through this realization. Everyone else isn't crazy; they are simply human.😉
Well, now... yes, but only a TRUE MASTER can claim to be truly and authentically MAD.😁 As for me, I might be acting a bit wild, but I’m still keeping an ace up my sleeve, which means I haven't quite crossed over into true madness just yet 😉 (though I suppose to certain observers, I might certainly appear to be 😁)
copperowl2 said:Honestly, instead of directing those questions at me, you should probably be looking inward. It is a profoundly difficult realization to come to—that the very individuals who claim to possess all the answers are simultaneously hunting for them from everyone else. What drives this behavior? What is the underlying impulse behind such a contradiction? Is it merely a desperate craving for self-validation? Or perhaps some grand, noble gesture of the heart? I find myself wondering where that supposed nobility actually resides. 😬
No one can truly teach anyone anything. All these self-proclaimed "Masters" and so-called experts are nothing more than charlatans. In my view, the fool is the one doing all the talking, but even more delusional is the one sitting there listening. The only real distinction is that the speaker knows they’re full of it and doesn't bother getting worked up about it anymore, whereas the listener actually walks away thinking both the lunatic and themselves are incredibly brilliant.
Herpes said:The very observer who is "watching" is itself just another component of this shifting, volatile "nature." If that weren't the case, they wouldn't simply vanish the moment we drift into a deep sleep!!! 😲 So, what’s the endgame here?
Nothing. You keep observing—you observe the observer itself—until there is absolutely nothing left to watch.
We have to make do with the reality we're handed. It’s a matter of grit: you pick up your cross, shoulder the burden, and follow my lead. 😉
There is a profound, almost transcendent sort of luck found in being able to step back and observe that scavenging hyena lurking within our own souls. It is a vital realization to recognize that this creature—this scavenger—is not, in any true sense, our actual self. We cannot hope to suppress it, because attempting to stifle that instinct is nothing more than futile repression. That hyena will remain exactly what it is until the day it dies; there is no "fixing" it, no moral engineering that can fundamentally alter its nature. Perhaps the only way to deal with such a thing is to starve it out. We hasten its demise by refusing to feed it, ensuring it withers away simply by watching it intently without ever once participating in its twisted, predatory games.
Then we move on to examining the observer who is doing the observing—continuing this inward spiral until the act of observation and the object being observed eventually merge into one single, seamless entity... or so I’d like to think.
It isn't nearly as difficult to deal with an adversary who is openly snarling like a rabid hyena. No, the real danger lies when that same hyena starts acting polite—when she’s smiling at you, playing the part of the charming entertainer, and feeding our egos just enough to make us feel important. That’s when you're truly in trouble. It’s the laughter of the hyena that really gets you. 😁
you’re completely overlooking that ancient Gnostic perspective here...!?!

Best regards!
hollowfox38, let's be honest—we are all our own worst swine; we just need to have the courage to admit it to ourselves.
It is thoroughly regulated, to say the very least... particularly regarding the hunt we are discussing here.
Look, let’s be honest: if we aren't using an allegory again, we aren't getting anywhere with this conversation. It's simply impossible to grasp these deeper truths without them.
Look at point number three... and then take a close look at what I wrote under point two.
Maybe they have some insight into this, or maybe they’re just as lost as the rest of us... honestly, there is no way for me to tell. 😉
It’s an absolute fact: the fish bite significantly better during Twilight.
There are moments when you’re sitting there, staring at the water, and you won't see that float break the surface for what feels like an eternity—yet, despite the silence, the fish just isn't caught. If you ever doubt me on this, go ahead and ask any veteran Fisherman out on the lake; they'll tell you exactly what I'm talking about.
Face it, you’re never going to catch a trophy bass using nothing but worms. 😛
...hm, I have to admit, I’m completely out of my depth on this particular subject. 😉
You can always go back, I suppose, provided you have the means... but let’s be honest: once you return, you’ll find that the place is never quite the same as you left it. It’s an inescapable truth.
1. Sure, that’s exactly how poachers justify their actions
2. I see your point, but let’s be clear: just because there’s fish in the water doesn't mean every single one is a Fisherman
3. Let's be realistic here—Fishermen aren't going to waste their time out there if there isn't any fish to be found in the area
4. Sometimes a Fisherman tosses out some bread without even realizing he's doing it
5. While time is an illusion, Twilight is very much a reality, and it's during the Twilight hours that the fish are biting most aggressively
6. I disagree; just because you see a float submerged under the surface doesn't guarantee the fish are actually hooked
7. That’s simply incorrect. You can't catch every species with the same bait; you certainly aren't going to land a Red Snapper using nothing but worms
8. I agree that when the fish are hungry, the hunt is at its peak. As for this idea about breeding... well... I suppose that logic might hold water for certain types of fishermen😁
9. Not true. They aren't dead if we make sure to release them back into the ocean quickly enough
10. You hit the nail on the head; absolutely correct
1. First off, you absolutely need to secure a valid fishing license before you even think about heading out to the water.
2. You can't just show up empty-handed; you need to have all your gear ready, from your rods and reels down to the specific bait you're using.
3. Finding the right spot is half the battle. You aren't going to find anything near a drainage pipe or in some polluted runoff; you want to seek out the clearest, cleanest water available.
4. A common tactic is to toss a good amount of bread into the water first to draw the fish toward your location.
5. Timing is everything in this game. If you want the best results, you really need to be out there during the Twilight.
6. And don't get too excited just because you see your bobber dip below the surface—it doesn't necessarily mean you've actually hooked something.
7. You also have to realize that catching small panfish requires a completely different approach than targeting the big trophies.
8. Every species follows its own biological rhythm, so you have to time your trips to coincide with their specific feeding windows.
9. Most importantly, we follow conservation rules: any fish caught that falls below the legal size limit must be released back into the water immediately.
10. Just a word of advice for the beginners: don't go into this expecting to fill up your freezer after a single afternoon.
copperowl2 said:[P.S. those Greys are calling us nothing more than containers. Isn't that a bit excessive, considering we're the ones who brought them into existence!? [/B]
Copperowl2, have you actually sat down and watched Matrix? Who was it that designed the very people fighting to preserve the Matrix itself?
We bring something into this world, and then that very thing turns around and starts running the show.
Take our own thoughts, for instance. We think we are creating them, yet eventually, those thoughts begin to dictate our every move. It’s honestly no wonder when someone on a forum like this claims they aren't "creating" their ideas, but rather that the ideas just sort of happen to them. In reality, we don't even own our own cognition half the time... it would be more accurate to say that our thoughts are thinking us.
And here we are, obsessing over aliens😉...and that's just one single species.
You find yourself in this impossible bind where you can achieve absolutely nothing, yet you’re still morally obligated to give every ounce of effort you possess. If anyone out there actually knows how to listen, then lend me your ears 🙂
This thread is spot on, and there is so much truth in what Robert Jones85 is laying out here.
It is an uphill battle trying to explain to today’s self-proclaimed "humanists" why someone might choose not to donate their organs. Honestly, if you even bring it up, they look at you like you're some kind of cold-blooded murderer.
I was reading somewhere that in many Eastern traditions, there is a strict requirement to wait at least three days before cremation begins, just to ensure the departed isn't placed in an "awkward" spiritual state. But with organ transplantation from a deceased donor, everything has to move at lightning speed—the less time wasted, the better the outcome for the recipient.😢
Just don't go overboard with the spicy stuff. I honestly can't wrap my head around this whole pepper thing... It reminds me of the time I got totally ripped off; someone sold me these capsules supposedly loaded with pepper and cinnamon to "boost my system"... when in reality, they were just meant to deal with hemorrhoids 🙄
Richard Murphy6, you're still losing your mind, aren't you? 😉 Let it happen, just let it... honestly, it’s probably the only sign left that you’re actually sane 😁
To me, every newborn baby is essentially a tiny, profound little guru. 🙂
I truly believe we have far more to learn from children than they could ever hope to glean from us. Unfortunately, though, the reality is that children end up mimicking our own flaws and behaviors most of the time... which is precisely why we find ourselves stuck in the mess we're currently in. 😢
So, is this sciatic nerve thing actually a big deal?
Now my knee has started acting up too whenever I try to walk any significant distance, and honestly, I have no clue if that’s even related to the nerve issue...🙄
I have a checkup coming up soon anyway, so I'll just make sure to ask my doctor what she thinks about all of this...
