I don't suppose I sound like one, do I?Jaded Sage wrote:Lacewing wrote:When do you plan to do that?Jaded Sage wrote:Sometimes you get a seriously worthwhile contribution here.

Is that the best you got? At least you're consistent in missing the mark.Jaded Sage wrote: Are you a teenager? You sound like one.
So, I'll re-word my questions, since you didn't like them before.Jaded Sage wrote: It's a progression / ...it's unmistakeable when you get there / ...many false awakenings /... I had many /...But when you look back, you can see you were always there the whole time.
So asking questions to explore what YOU SAY, is somehow "ignoring anything of real substance"? Wouldn't that suggest that the lack of substance is coming from what you're saying? If you can't move beyond your statements to examine and provide rationale, then you're just blabbing words. THAT'S where the lack of substance is originating. We're trying to bring this to your attention, and you don't seem to appreciate it.Jaded Sage wrote:ignores anything of real substance
Man, you just keep making up stuff left and right, don't you?! Fascinating!Jaded Sage wrote:I must have insulted you. I thought we were above that.
I'm guessing you can't. It takes real courage and insight to question yourself... and considering how much deflection you keep coming up with, it seems you're unable to be above that. You should know that your credibility pretty much tanks if you can't brave up.Jaded Sage wrote:I'll get bck to it later, maybe.
Thanks Harbal. I'd be more flattered... but the bar seems set kind of low, doesn't it??!Harbal wrote:Lacewing.
It's wonderful to have you back. This place is nothing without you.
A bit happening here since I last came here lolJaded Sage wrote:Trance is more shaman. But that is the heritage of mysticism; it started with frenzied women dancing and chanting.
That's the shortcoming of many thinkers today, valuing the subjective less than the objective. It seems utterly foolish to me.
I do like the third and forth particularly. Mystics can utilize their intellects heavily and still qualify as mystics. I suppose that makes them of a higher caliber.
Again deflection (with more fiction that you make-up to suit yourself)... because you apparently cannot answer challenging questions about what you say. If you're not here to explore (including beyond yourself), what are you here for? If someone invests energy in thoughtfully questioning and exploring what you say, why don't you have the integrity to respond? If the questions are inapplicable, or there has been some misunderstanding, then it should be simple for you to show how. Unless, of course, you are only here to announce what you think and dismiss all else?Jaded Sage wrote:you're not here for philosophy. You're here for sophistry.
