When there's conflict, you will automatically start to look for a solution and that's where spirituality comes in. But actually solving a problem requires peace and calm. And time. Ask the monks.

Hold it right there, mister! You need to confirm this realization with the proper dzogchen authorities.

The Daily Mail On Sunday darn it!! Also guilt by association is a fallacy. I love Peter Hitchens, his belated brother and Karl. That might also amount to a fallacy .

Yes. And you make perfect sense and I could hug you. You have a long journey before you and you will need friends. One poster in this thread has given you the plain truth, and your family will provide emotional backing, but the realization before you is only for you. It takes guts you never thought you had.

no, it's epistemological :-)

No.

I'm reminded of Heinlein. Then how come some put the capstone back on? Breadcrumbs?

semantics? not interested. also, you are wrong. goodbye.

yes, but that's the useless definition. please concentrate.

a useful definition: ego is who you think you are and know you are not.

Yes. 4.

You really have no clue.

Self realization. How: studying and applying the teachings. Why: see how.

Perhaps later. I propose, for the benefit of this forum, that we engage in a public discussion regarding the merits of vedic astrology. Since you brought it up, would you like to begin?

I advise you to really wake up, Nikolai1. You know what you're doing is wrong, and soon enough your son will too. What will you tell him then? Daddy's a saint?

You are now "moving the goalposts". Sorry, I haven't got time for games. However, "to be happy" is truly the supreme goal. Good luck with that!

You called?

The bliss you seek lies beyond the personal, Bindi. Expectations schmexspectations.

I don't "feel" but -know- that it's completely unnecessary. I hope you don't mind.

Chinmayananda's!

Not according to vedanta. Anyway, you seem to know already so it's all good.

I’ve led us slightly off topic. Mea culpa. I submit: knowledge is only for the qualified.

Yes. Well put. What is the "something"?

Nice! Nothing like traditional vedanta. Does knowledge provoke an experience?
