Sir Darius the Clairvoyent

Fair enough, in terms of IQ i think you are fairly sharp

Maybe academics are too found of terms 🤔

These are schools of thoughts that appeal to me. Thing is, that they seem very similar, if not straight out identical to me. Both seems based on the idea that ALL is god. Am i wrong? Could someone clarify? edit: they seem somewhat similar to aninism and daoism too? Hope I dont come off as an idiot, just curious.

The duality of man

Good night my non-dual friends

Haha well it is fun. Good, good, was basically why I was asking. Related terms pop up in many languages, with meanings such as truth, fitting, excelence, order, law.. Wonder how far it goes back. I find the concept attractive. Sure. Not to much, other than that these two, waring classes of gods, or higher beings, is a strikingly reaccuring theme. Latin, norse, greek, iranian, vedic… I have a suspicion that whoever the good guys are reflects the dominant people in the area. Kind of like mesopitanian city states destroying each others temple in war..

Do we know more about this? I have wondered why the devas and asuras are flipped in their respective culture. Is it the same concept as olympians vs titans, or Aesir vs. Vanir?

I see words like justice, truth, order and rightfullness is used a lot. I wonder, was the avestan term arta?

Hm, partly, but I also belive we should have one foot in the unknown.

I agree with you. It is the fall from Eden. What do you think of this: It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinion, it is only because they only know their own side of the question Mill

I have a strong sense that stories work much better then facts, when it comes to getting your point accross and foster understanding. I struggle to put into words. Curious If you agree or disagree, and if so, why?

«Let him who as ears, hear»

So, in my understanding englightentment is something you can not achieve, any more then you can achieve a foot: you allready have it. It is the realisastion of oneness. In general, I think trying to put words to it only mudders the water. Still, I am curious, what does the term entail to you?

Im certain im not alone on this. Anyone got some advice?

Gnosis 😁 @Tommy I dont think anyone has the right to do that on a topic like this. I am interrested in your own interpertation of the term. You go on to talk about the allegory of the cave. I found that interresting. Would you like to expand on it?

Do you think such a state is even theoretically possible? I belive strongly, that as a human, both delusions, illusions and emotion are unexcapable. In a way, even colour is a «delusion,» it only exists in our minds.

I think it is exactly the opposite. Perhaps we have different understandings of the term. I refer to 'life force/awareness/soul' or something similar. My belief in its eternity and fundamentality is based on the idea that we don't understand how something non-conscious can become conscious. By definition, we cannot be 'not aware,' and we know it's possible to 'create' seemingly physical things in our minds, such as hallucinations.

Self explanatory : )

I acctually might 😂

Really?

Yeah Id say betrayal as well. Loads of emotions really, great art
