Yes I have mentioned this also. But I worded in a way like, I suggest you have the PROOF to back up and support YOUR CLAIMS, BEFORE you ACTUALLY make the CLAIM. That way you will NOT be AS WRONG AS YOU ARE, as OFTEN AS YOU ARE.


What PROOF would you like?

AND, do NOT forget that 'the burden of proof' only exists AFTER proof is asked for.
You clearly can't tell when I'm making a claim.
So, if I was to say to you, Will you prove this CLAIM here of yours?, are you still under the DELUSION that I "clearly can not tell when you are making a claim? Or, are you now going to make the claim that that was NOT a claim that you were making?

Okay, if you say so.

Prove that the One true Self is always achieving.

These two sentences of yours here appear somewhat CONTRADICTORY. That is; to 'you', 'I' am an IDIOT, and, to 'you', the burden of proof ALWAYS EXISTS among the NON-IDIOTS. So, for 'you' to ask an IDIOT to prove that the One True Self (with capital T, by the way) is always achieving, as though the burden of proof was on 'me' - THE IDIOT, appears CONTRADICTORY.

'you', "atla", are the NON-IDIOT, correct?

If yes, then the burden of proof ALWAYS EXISTS among 'you', (well according to 'your' "logic", and CLAIM here, that is.)

The PROOF that thee One True Self is achieving is VERIFIED through the OBSERVATIONS and the EXPERIENCES of the human body of the 'world'/Universe outside of that body.

Being called a failure by you doesn't me make one.

I think it's a fact that there is a "True Self", and it's the same as the world, all existence, because how else could it be.

Again: your job is to prove that the True Self is always achieving, because we humans sure can't see that this is happening. If you can't prove it, then you're probably just a generic nutjob with a stupid certain belief.

If you think that the "True Self" is less than all existence, for example it doesn't include the bad/evil, then it's your job to prove this as well.

To you, are ALL human beings who can NOT prove their claims, so called, "generic nut jobs" with stupid certain beliefs?

Also, do NOT forget ALL of those CLAIMS, which you have made in this forum, which you can NOT prove. I have POINTED OUT some of them, but there are still MANY MORE.

By the way, I can prove 'it'.

You, Age, do not need to use ALL CAPS on words, or say "in the days when this is written". Atla's use of "Clarifying question" seems completely reasonable considering how much you have harped on the need for it, and complained about the lack of it.

All of which, by the way, are part of your psychosis.

Age's/Ken's claims -- along with his excuses and avoidance/games for why he does not back up or prove those claims -- have continually demonstrated him to be a self-absorbed, delusional liar. It does not matter how he learns to word things differently (based on the critical feedback he receives) -- it still rings hollow and self-serving. Constant claims about what he knows, and other people don't. He is like a bitter child who imagines himself uniquely aligned with divine truth, while others are not. Such is surely the greatest kind of foolishness.

1. I am just in the process of learning how to communicate BETTER.

2. I await CLARIFYING QUESTIONS.

I PROPOSE that I have a BETTER explanation for 'red shift'. And, when a human being REALIZES and ACKNOWLEDGES that 'blue shift' ALSO exists, and is Honest with that data indicates, or is 'evidence' for, then expressing the ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION can begin.

I suggest BEFORE that body stops breathing and pumping blood you START learning how to CLARIFY BEFORE you START MAKING ASSUMPTIONS, which would be the EXACT OPPOSITE of what you are doing here. The ASSUMPTIONS, which you are MAKING here, are CLEARLY OBVIOUSLY Wrong, to some of us. So, the way you "work things out" REALLY is NOT working out for you.

Also, and LOL, my ASSUMED strategy is to wait for EVERYONE who disagrees with me is REALLY quite an ABSURD and RIDICULOUS ASSUMPTION, to MAKE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING the FACT that there is NO data AT ALL about who ACTUALLY DISAGREES with me. This is BECAUSE I have YET to EXPLAIN how I arrived at the views that I have now.

And, as I continually state: I just WAIT, patiently, for those who are Truly OPEN and Truly CURIOS. I, LITERALLY, am in NO RUSH AT ALL. This is, LITERALLY, because ' I have ALL the 'time' in the 'world' ', as some say.

What will become ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, soon enough, is just how WRONG, and how OFTEN WRONG, people, in the days when this was written, were in their continual ASSUMPTION MAKING about what was ACTUALLY GOING ON here.

REALLY?

I do NOT find it 'reasonable' AT ALL, let alone 'completely reasonable', AT ALL. If you can NOT work out when a sentence is a question, asked for clarity, and so find it 'completely reasonable' to add the "Clarifying question:" beforehand, then this might be WHY so MANY of my CLARIFYING QUESTIONS NEVER get answered.

Would 'you', "lacewing", prefer I wrote, "Clarifying question:" EVERY time I posed a CLARIFYING QUESTION, to you?

Which SPECIFIC CLAIM do you WANT me to PROVE, and let us SEE if I can, or can NOT, PROVE it. But, OBVIOUSLY, you would have to first think or BELIEVE that 'it' could be PROVED, and then just be CURIOS ENOUGH to SEE if I actually can, or NOT.

If you came to realize and understand who and what God ACTUALLY IS, how the Mind and the brain ACTUALLY WORK, and how to create a Truly peaceful and harmonious 'world' for ABSOLUTELY EVERY one, FOREVER MORE, then how long do you envision it would take you to word things differently to be able to EXPLAIN this to just one human being, let alone ALL of 'you', human beings, uniformly, so that ALL of you could and WOULD change your ways, for the better, for ALL of 'you'?

If thee Truth be KNOWN I have NOT REALLY YET EVEN BEGUN to learn how to word things, so that 'you', adult human beings, can start learning NEW and DIFFERENT ways.

WHY are 'you' is such a RUSH for anyway? What is the rush?

Paradigm shifts do NOT necessarily happen very quickly AT ALL, after all. Well that was BEFORE the NEW and DIFFERENT way is LEARNED and UNDERSTOOD.

OBVIOUSLY here is ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE of when MAKING ASSUMPTIONS leads one COMPLETELY and UTTERLY ASTRAY.

By the way, what could be argued here is some of you people, in this forum, spend more time in some threads LOOKING AT and TALKING ABOUT 'me', as though I am NOT HERE, instead of PROVING my CLAIMS WRONG through ACTUALLY CHALLENGING ME or CLARIFYING WHAT I ACTUALLY MEAN.

Off the top of my head, there are roughly 100 galaxies that show blue shift. They are either local, like Andromeda, and are being pulled together by gravity, or they are in the Virgo cluster, all of which is heading our way (if you buy the Doppler explanation)-part of the general turbulence of the universe, as far as we can tell. The other trillion or so all display redshift.
Face it Age, you do not have a better explanation, because you simply don't understand anything about red shift and blue shift.

The BELIEFS just keep coming and coming.

Here is ANOTHER PRIME EXAMPLE of WHY 'you', human beings, took SO LONG to COME AROUND and SEE what thee ACTUAL Truth IS in relation to the earth NOT being in the center of the Universe. If you BELIEVE you ALREADY KNOW what the truth IS, then you are NOT OPEN to ANY thing opposing nor contrary. EXACTLY like what "uwot" is SHOWING and REVEALING here.

"uwot" BELIEVES WHOLEHEARTEDLY without ANY DOUBT AT ALL that I do NOT have a better explanation than 'red shift' means, AGAIN without ANY DOUBT, that the Universe IS EXPANDING, because I simply do NOT understand ABSOLUTELY ANY thing about red shift and blue shift.

Therefore, WHY would I even TRY TO SHOW OTHERWISE, to "uwot"?

By the way, have you FORGOTTEN in that EXACT SAME TIME you have NOT shown ANY ACTUAL 'evidence' that the Universe IS EXPANDING, EITHER?

I don't think it needs to be explained. I think everyone already has complete access to all that they need, and all that they are part of. They don't need to have anything in particular told to them.

You seem to have a delusion that you need to explain things to people, and that they are too closed to see/understand, so it is your mission to find the right words to tell them. Get over yourself! Give "god" some credit for existing throughout ALL... and manifesting in ways that make sense for each person, and the whole.

Any religious mindset that claims one person or group has the answers that must be relayed to everyone else is spinning a self-indulgent fantasy, which often becomes extreme and delusional. You communicate in such a way. It's not that hard to have good communication with intelligent spiritual/human beings. But as long as you separate yourself as the "knower", and everyone else is supposed to ask you questions, you have shown yourself to be a self-glorifying fool and fraud.

And he will continue to believe so until you demonstrates otherwise.
And I can NOT demonstrate a better explanation to you WHILE you BELIEVE otherwise. As I have ALREADY EXPLAINED and PROVEN True.

Nature really hasn't been kind to you, has it Age? The redshift is the evidence.

If, as you PROCLAIM, redshift IS 'evidence' that the Universe is expanding, then you would HAVE TO, if you were Truly Honest, ALSO PROCLAIM blueshift IS 'evidence' that the Universe is contracting.

But you will NOT do this, will you?

And, if you will NOT do this, then this is because you BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY that the Universe IS EXPANDING, correct?
