Henry! You're going to get this, I can feel it!
Absolute happiness. Nah, come on. You'd be more patient with people Mr. Dopson. YOu wouldn't be as stiff as you are in the videos. You'd have your feet on the ground and not have, sure your own take, rehashing of Eastern religions.
That's it. If someone watches two of your videos and doesn't get it, you can't help them. Your not a very versatile teacher. And you've constructed a way to completely deny any possible error/need for improvement/rhetorical weakness on your part. If they don't get it, it proves they are deep in delusion. A perfect wall to protect you from learning yourself.If you watch the videos and still don't get it, I can't really help you as it is in its most succinct and simplest form. The fact that one can't see what is being presented is exactly the proof that they are in a deep sate of delusion. But then again most all humans are in this deep state of delusion.
I was hoping that you would mind, actually; in fact, had I known you weren't going to mind what I said, I wouldn't have bothered saying it. Do you get a kick out of wasting people's time?
Yes, I can tell.I live a perfect life.
Well if you hang around on the forum for a while I will do all I can to change that.I experience next to no suffering or anxiety, and spend most of my time in/as Absolute (not dependent upon circumstances) Happiness.
I watched enough of the video to realise I don't want it, thank you.If you watch the videos and still don't get it
So you are giving up already?I can't really help you
Actually, the reason why I don't take people like you and what they are trying to sell seriously is precicely because I don't want to be talked into a deep state of delusion.The fact that one can't see what is being presented is exactly the proof that they are in a deep sate of delusion.
Maybe, but if I have to be in a state of delusion I'll pick my own.But then again most all humans are in this deep state of delusion.

Gurus are a dime a dozen in philosophy forums.
Hey Roy. From what I gather, you are presenting a view.OP

Gurus are a dime a dozen in philosophy forums.
A guru has walked the path, fallen a million times, picked himself up a million and one times, and reached the finish line. He knows out of experience and he knows everything you can ask about the path. He is someone who can guide you to the finish line.
A philosopher is someone who has not even taken the first step on the path. He has bought a map and memorized it. He would know the route better than the master, but he cannot help you take a single step. He knows the obstacles, but he has never fallen. He knows the struggles, but he has never conquered. He knows the finish line, but he has not reached it. He can explain the map, he cannot help you walk it.
A chef is a master. He knows how to cook because he has. He has made mistakes, and he has burnt recipes. But after all those years of struggle, he has come to the point that he can create edible art. A philosopher is a food critic. He may not even be capable of boiling an egg, but has read and memorized so much about food that he can earn his living by judging a chef.
If you want to cook, you need a chef. If you want to read about food, a critic can help. Similarly, if you wish to experience, only the master can help. If you wish to just know about the path, don't bother troubling the master as the philosopher will be able to do it.
You need to struggle up a mountaintop and find the right cave to find your guru.
You only need to go to a library to find a philosopher.
Any fool can know. The point is to understand which comes only when the mind is through with knowledge.
Oh, be nice for a change you old meanie. Roy's heart is in the right place. Your's is suspect.
My theory states: "Truth is the path that leads to Reality. Upon Realization there is Absolute Happiness (aka: Sat Chit Ananda)
Reality= Happiness
