Douglas Brown4 said:New Age is (this progression is honestly exhausting because it highlights the hypocrisy):
a) the scent of mown shadows and a gentle breeze brushing against your nose while the blue sky above radiates peace
b) birds chirping and the sound of a light wind moving through spring light
c) your silhouette giving me goosebumps
d) passionate embraces and the smell of sweat as our lips meet
e) screams piercing the air, a fire of passion consuming us
f) tired bodies held in an embrace
g) the feeling that we exist, and that we are part of an infinite universe. United in the time and space of existence and blah, blah, blah.
And what is that? Just plain old hedonism and raw desires driven by pure biology. Nothing more than what animals have.

Honestly, you should be more worried about wasting your time reading nonsense on this forum instead of finding something better to do😁

VioletStorm said:Not at all. I simply respond to nonsense in kind. We are ostensibly having debates about metaphysical topics here, yet in reality, it is nothing more than mental speculation. It isn't that I object to people having their own perspectives; rather, I find it amusing to observe how fervently individuals approach subjects they fundamentally cannot grasp, convincing themselves of things they merely read somewhere without ever connecting them to actual reality.
Douglas Brown4 said:I’m just adding my two cents regarding how Westerners tend to interpret Eastern philosophy.It’s foolish, really. Inspiration always seems to strike right when you finally find some peace and become truly present in the moment.
I find that inspiration hits me best when I’m hovering above the present moment. It’s that feeling of being detached—sort of stepping outside of both space and time.That's just impossible... there is only the present moment, after all. That part should be easy enough to grasp. I guess your line of reasoning suggests you're identifying yourself too closely with the Mana, since you claim "it lives" across all three time periods.
That’s right. I agree.
The present is nothing more than an illusion; I guess it only truly exists within a specific point in time.You think you can figure out my style after just a few sentences? Maybe. I guess. 😵
No.
