What are we here for?
This forum has become very like a written soap box opera....
Are we here to speak of other people, to be sarcastic and critical... ? !
What's the point?
... entertainment?
...a place to waste some time?
..perhaps a place to see who can pee the farthest?

There isn't a point. Isn't that great? This is what IT is writing for the dramatic play we call life right now. But borrowing from Stillness, I tell you, this too shall pass.

Soup-o-stillness is it!
Lots of things really happen here
if only each could be open and honest.
Whilst you feel each-other out, you become aware of your own ulterior motives right,
that is if youre not revelling in blissfullness.

Does this mean that you feel that I have done so? Even if I have, the pot will eventually settle down, and then something else will happen.  |

Yup. The only reason the phrase isn't "chop wood, carry water, visit forums" is because they didn't have the internet back then. |

Whilst you feel each-other out, you become aware of your own ulterior motives right, that is if youre not revelling in blissfullness. Yes, I resonate and vibrate with that. I would say what one gets out of it depends on what one brings to it. I think it was a stroke of genius for Question to post beautiful pictures followed by one of ugliness, though I don't really know what his thinking was. It very graphically made a point I've been trying to make to Andrew for some time about the two ends of the duality stick that are unavoidable, and what followed was various attempts by folks to turn the ugly side of the stick into something beautiful, which involved some more ugliness, which could potentially be seen as the origin of such things as war and starving children. All the soap opera dramas here have a point and have played out perfectly because they can't play out any other way. |

All the soap opera dramas here have a point and have played out perfectly because they can't play out any other way. Thats not quite the point we've been debating. I have agreed that attraction and aversion is inherent to this reality i.e. it is consciously experienced. What I have argued is that there is the potential of other realities in which there is no conscious experience of aversion. In my opinion, this reality in which we consciously experience contrast is the exception rather than the norm. This reality has been for those who want to experience reunification or remembrance or reconnection. |

Yeah, I know it's more complicated than I implied in that, and I didn't mean to suggest that the 'graphic demonstration' was going to impress you particularly. You have an idea about a non-dual dualistic experiential reality that is better than this one rather than worse and is all good and no bad. I have no idea what makes you think that's possible beyond some channeled entities who have told you it is. |
