Sir Darius the Clairvoyent

Why do you not want to take the text by it self? It is kind of the whole transformer debate, getting to caught up by the choice of Words instead of the overtall message… or as Daniel would say, the tree for the forrest

What is the «not either one?» To live by photosynthesis? And what does mice eat btw?

@Taoist Texts I am worried i might sound like an asshole now, but it is a genuine question. When you see a cat kill a mouse, do you apply any moral judgement to it, or ask what the point or consequence is?

@Daniel crazy thing is… after i posted that comment, i got support from you guys, a visit from a Friend and a priest and i feel connected again. I call that a miracle ❤️‍🔥🕊️

Gratzie 🙏

But If meditating i just observing… how could we not meditate?

This is going to seem random, but i want to share it. What led to a moment that felt like a real, spiritual unity, an experience of the divine, peace… you Get the point, was two thing. This verse from isha upanishad: O Sun, sole traveler of the Heavens, controller of all, Surya, son of Prajapati, remove thy rays and gather up thy burning light. I behold thy glorious form; I am he, the Purusha within thee. (16) And Sol invictus:

So @Daniel back to our discourse on the kingdom and flesh. What is Christ and what is flesh? And about If the writers intention matter: 1. there are several authors of biblical and gnostic texts 2. i do not think that even the author fully understands what he is saying 3. the only understanding we can ever get, is our own 4. stories work on another level of understanding then reason does 5. the bible contradict itselfs several times, and has been manipulated at a later date

Wrong thread

It kind of does

This also strikes me as interesting. Elaborating: If there is no meaning to life, no «father,» im honestly not sure i can deal with it. The only possible alternative would be as you describe; aiming upwards, nurturing myself and my enviorment and appreciate the beauty.

You know what, that question and the article was crazy interesting. I sat down for a good hour trying to give thoughtfull response, but in the end, I deleted it all because it was simply too big and my knowledge too limited. I think the Orient, continental Europe and the Anglo-sphere live in conceptually very different realities, and that it affects how we view the state, morals, and ideals. I would agree with you on "the idea that modern rights-based ethics is basically the inversion of virtue ethics." Both the organization of the state and the concepts of rights stem from views on "the state of nature," so we could have a discussion on that if you'd like. _________________________________________________ Brainfart: maybe the function of life is a better question then the meaning of life?

My only caution when reading these words would be: "Beware of a false summit. Keep going." What i would have given to see the true peak, truly understand god with a capital G. The highest of high. But i think my head will explode trying to get there. It seems impossible, at least trying to approach it with the intellect.

Hmm… i know that there are many different philosophical understanding of the will. My understanding, currently, is that will is «growing in to your potential and nature,» and not inherintley psychopathic, unless you are a psychopath.

It was absolutley amazing, loved it! Some of the stuff needs a second reading or better understanding in order to comprehend, but it was great. Thank you. I just postponed my appointment, so i will not be able to share the result in the immediate future, but im happy to continue our conversation on symbolism

That it contains symbolism, metaphors, is not black and white and is filled with philosophy. But if you would prefer to be killed by your nephew and abandoning your people, then… well, then i dont even now what to say.

I dont think we are getting any further. It is a story, and it has great depth. Let me reverse the question here: what does good, virtue, correct behavior, mean to you?

This maybe. Feels feminine with the northren lights, its my home and its beautifull beyond belief: Lyrics:

@Nungali So the will can be said to be (at least partly) discovered (uncovered?) by inspiration (genius, muse), self knowledge, finding/making your imediate enviorment more harmonious and acting in accordance with your… what to call it… your deep felt sense of values? Synchronisity probally also deserves a mention/ And you seemed to be very ‘insisiting’ on useing the term nurturing, can you expand some on that? edit: i dont think you need to expand on nurturing, cambridge dictionary makes it clear:

Hmm… the divine. But also my tattoos are very «masculine» and i was thinking balancing it with something more femine and zen.. nurture and natur and harmony as welll, maybe… growth, flourishing… kvaharenah I also like that you mentioned water as a symbol for the unconcious. One of my tattoos are of Poseidon, the sea god, so getting a femine «counterpart,» or maybe «partner,» to that sounds great. Anima/animus. Also… i wouldnt mind it a little more sexy

I liked it yes. I interpeted it as spirit 🕊️ god 👁️ belzebuup 🐍, but considering Your respobse, i guess im wrong. What does it mean?

You posted this in another thread though, and its pretty sick:

You cant be virtous/benevolent/generous without wealth/power/influence/strength. Or rather, there is nothing noble about non-violence, unless you are capable of violence. Fighting for your cause/tribe, winning and showing your defeated nemesis mercy, however, is admirable. When it comes to ego and a tribal identity, i dont see anything inherintley bad in that. On the contrary, it brings people together, provides community, identity, culture… No doubt tribal conflicts have caused great evils. But in my corner of the world, a strong national identity has made us stronger, more trusting and willing to help each other. To be fair though, i probally live in what has historically been one of the worlds most homogeneus regions. As @Daniel said, there are meny level to identity, and you can zoom in and out.

Nature maybe? Nature is often asscociated with the mother. Maybe something like this
