I don't know what the world is coming to if you aren't.

LAP ZIRDO BABALON!
I hope when I start the present time awareness debate you will join in.
I'm a slaaaaave to logic;But being a slave of logic and reason imprisons you, and disconnects you from the other possibilities of a universe far beyond your level of reality.
Cos my logic's pokin holes
In narcissistic fantaseeeeeee.
Sure, unless, you've already started it in the past.
I don't really believe in time, so much, though. It's the illusion which prevents us from experiencing the universe properly, leads to all kinds of false starts, you know, like science...
I'm a slaaaaave to logic;
I am Aristotle's bitch.
Cos I don't believe in magic
And I know I'm not a witch.
Yeah, reality's my prison
And I never shall be free
Cos my logic's pokin holes
In narcissistic fantaseeeeeee.
I hope when I start the present time awareness debate you will join in.
I'm not a buddha salesman and apalogize if I came off that way. Siddhartha Gautama did leave his wife and child, in the lap of luxury, but did it none the less. They became two of his most loyal followers upon his return.
I mean Abraham was going to do some pretty interesting things for a voice in the sky, I guess by todays standards Buddha's choice wasn't so bad.
peace
Hello bigb ,
Did Buddha seek forgiveness? Did he feel he needed to?

1. Which of these is greater, the ability to seek forgiveness or the ability to give it?
Both are false virtues of the slave gods.
2. Which of these is greater, seeking forgiveness or permission?
Again, both are weaknesses. In all things the trick is to just do. To just be.
Two sides of the same coin? Riiiiiiggghhhhhhtttt . . .Where are all the atheists today? Come out, come out, come out to play!
Reality is a contradiction. There is no difference between theism and atheism. Two sides. Same Coin.
Well hey, I'm open to hard evidence of the existence of The Great Pumpkin, but just thinking about the legend's origin in a comic strip, I'm not going to expendWhat more could a person ask for? The perfect blend of open-mindedness and skepticism. You, my friend, rock.
At first glance, that sounds insulting, but ...ETA: Actually, evidence is being given to me (which none of you would understand without at least 5 years of very intense magickal training) ...
Two sides of the same coin? Riiiiiiggghhhhhhtttt . . .
Most. Boring. Thing. Ever. To attempt to dissuade someone who is hooked on mythology and superstition (whether it is religion or numerology or astrology). It's only the ones who use their mythology and superstitions to wage war, justify torture and murder, or to give themselves and their cronies a free pass on child molesting and other forms of cruelty that really need to be confronted. The rest are harmless in their delusions (unless they are enabling the torturers, molestors, etc.).

It took me years of "training" to become a convincing "friend of Bill W." but I think most of what people need to know about AA and a lot of other groups is in the short, crudely-made video "Mind Control Made Easy."
The interesting thing about the AA is that the A.A. was the name (Astrum Argentum) was the name of an occult order founded by Aleister Crowley first.
At least Buddha, found that the source of suffering is ignorance, brought on by attachment. And tought an eight fold path to help keep that inorance in check.
Ignorance too easily becomes an excuse for manipulators. Seek with diligence not to be ignorant. That is the direct way to keep ignorance in check and decrease suffering.

You have to remember I'm not educated.
Do you mean not educated as in not having a high school diploma or as in not having a doctoral degree in rocket science? If you mean the latter, then neither am I.
What I meant about ignorance is as follows:
Genuine ignorance as a lack of awareness of the motive(s) for one’s own actions.
