Damn. I was sure I was responding to your arguments properly and with good understanding of what you were saying. But if you say that was not the case, I will accept.

THE truth. The shared truth of all life.

Yes. But it in pursuit of trying to feel better it has to realize one day that only truth will bring it happiness it seeks.

This is getting emotional...

The only time you win is if creation wins. And that implies we have to win all together and no one is left behind. Like brothers and sisters.

But when you are willing to explore. Everyone wins and benefits from it. It's no longer a competition where there are winners and losers. That's the most beautiful thing about it.

"The one who is more willing to explore"

"The one who is more open to learn" is enough imo. I would agree with this.

@surrogate corpse So what do you think about my comments about the fear and reason and all that? I thought it was pretty cool. (a bit of self flattering here :D)

There is another form of competition. I think you guys should know about it here. Push hands. Or tai chi qhuan. Where the one who is more zen wins. That's more of what I had in mind.

Trying to be better is unavoidable function of the ego. The beautiful thing is that ego in pursuit to be better is bound to realize that to become the greatest, one has to become the lowest. (or ego less). So let the ego strive to be better than others. All roads lead to Rome anyway.

you got me. Very perceptive of you.

The beauty of playing mental jujitsu is that the one who is more true, wins. In the meantime of going back and forth. There are so many opportunities to practice honesty, forgiveness, equanimity. Especially watching your triggers and surrendering them. Practicing being vulnerable(truth) rather then defensive(ego). Learning to observe your own ego and other people's ego. All the tricks it plays. All the mechanics of it etc. Tons of benefit in it. And because one who is more true, wins. Everyone participating in it is basically chasing after truth. So everyone wins. And in a sense even if you lose you win. Because you learn something from it.

Yea me too. But I don't mind. It's like a game to me. Mental jujitsu or smth I could debate this aswell. But l will let it pass this time haha

Lol. I got another insight. Basically if you take this insight further. Based on what Luke sayed. Everyone who on some level has accomplished self-acceptance is transgender.

Oh wait.... I got it. Hehe. Lol Omg. It's such a beautiful insight. When a you accept yourself fully, identity indeed changes. It changes from trying to be what you're not, to being what you are. That's quite a shift in identity indeed. So technically you can call self-acceptance as transidentity phenomena.

So why would you call "new level of self acceptance" - "transformation of identity"? No transformation of identity is happening when you accept your identity fully. The term trans need not be used at all then

Hmmm.. Okay. I think i follow what you're saying. So it is that new self-acceptance that causes all the change of appearance to happen right?

That was another beautiful point made aswell. I believe I've addressed it before already when I sayed. Only truth can set you free and transcend fear. Many deep implications and revelations come if we consider what that means. This is where the flaw is in your logic when you say, reason will only furnish fear. But it's not true. Reason itself is innocent. Reason can be used both by fear and by genuine desire to be authentic. The only way fear can use reason for its own benefit is if you value it more than love. It depends what you value more in life. Fear or love. Truth or illusion. Accordingly your reason will function to serve that. So you saying I'm furnishing fear is incorrect in my perception because in fact I do nothing but encourage people to value truth above all else. And that's the only way out of fear. And that's how you prevent reason to be used by fear aswell. You see... Isn’t that beautiful? Reason and truth are synonymous. That alone should make you question your position when you say reason will harm you.

I was under the impression I understood your point well. You were saying that fear keeps transpeople from transitioning and being authentic. Fear keeps people from being who they really want to be deep in their heart. And fear uses reason in a form of doubt to prevent people from following their heart's desire. Reason is being used by fear to suppress their heart's desire. And i'm the guy who resources fear because what I say, even if it is reasonable, it will be used by fear for transpeople to inhibit following their authenticity. I feel that was the gist of it. I got the message the first time. And it is very beautiful message I would say. Very beautiful insight indeed. However my replies were not based on misunderstandings. They was based on insights where there are flaws in your logic. And I believe it flew over your head unfortunately...

I was not trying to invent new terms. My point was that the current terms people use today are not very logical or accurate when you look carefully at what the words mean and what is actually happening. And I think I was able to show it how successfully. I don’t see what me being autistic or not autistic has to do with anything here. And I find very difficult to believe you actually have genuine concern that I might be autistic lol... But for the record, no, I'm not autistic.

I have to go for now Tcare 👋

It was not your experience. It was shared experience. Hence I get to share my perspective why it took so long to arrive at some conclusion over then. If you don't like my perspective then cool. No need to pretend you agree. No one buys it anyway lol

There's no need to pretend you agree Edit. Oh you edited and added more. Didn't see.

Lol. It's not that bad haha. Perhaps it's even enjoyable if you know how to dance.
