Once again, 'you' quickly twisted this around.


Aww, diddums, I twisted it around, just like you twist what ever I say around too.

Lets twist again, like we did last summer...twisting, twisting, twisting the night away.

What have you said which I have supposedly twisted around?

Did you MISS what was going on here. I don't care what you are talking about, I'm talking about what I am talking about because that's what I enjoy talking about. I don't give a toss what you are talking about, because you will NEVER be my reality, I can never know you, so why do you think I would be interested in you that I can never know.

Also, NO acknowledgement NOR reply to my questions regarding 'you' saying 'you' enjoy talking to and about some thing, which 'you' also, contradictory, say does NOT exist.

The truth self doesn't ask questions, questions can only pertain to a false self.
Now this is one of the greatest "self-justifications" that I have heard.

Thee True Self asks 'you', false selfs, questions to gauge just how much 'you' actually KNOW or not.

Thee True Self also asks questions to 'you', false selfs, to SEE how OPEN and Honest or NOT you REALLY ARE.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 2:02 pmThat's why you bore me with your constant need to ask questions and have them clarified.
I do NOT care if I bore 'you' or not.

HOW 'you' respond or how 'you' do not respond is what I am SEEKING, LOOKING AT, and really CONCERNED about.

The reason 'you', human beings, are still NOT living in peace and harmony, when this is written is because of what 'you' say and tell 'yourselves' and what 'you' do not say and tell 'yourselves'.

To learn how to communicate with 'you', human beings, better, then I NEED to gauge where and when 'you' respond, and do not respond.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 2:02 pmI've told you I'm not interested in more more more unlike YOU :shock:
This is because 'you' are stuck, stuck, stuck, in your OWN BELIEFS and ASSUMPTIONS of what is true and right.

If you can NOT back up what you claim, then that is no big deal. That is just thee Truth of things.

Now why are you asking me, I thought you said all this is very easy and simple to explain and understand, so now what, have you already forgotten what you said earlier, oh my, this is so amusing.

.
Just because I KNOW just how simple and easy THIS is to understand and explain, this has NOTHING to do with 'you' using the 'IT' word, and me just asking you a clarifying question about it, to SEE what response you give.

You start off by asking me a question, but because you have NO real interest in knowing "another's" point of view, you carried on with what you have here. If, however, 'you' REALLY WANTED to KNOW why I was asking 'you' the question, then I would have told you. But considering you do NOT really want to know, I will just let you guess.

But what I find really interesting is just HOW 'you' manage to deflect away completely from answering the actual question.

SEE when the readers are to LOOK BACK over our conversations they will SEE that you rarely, if ever, answer the actual question I ask you.

Like I keep saying to you, I already KNOW

But this is just your own projected bullshit. You have no idea about how other humans think and feel about themselves. For all you know everyone is living in their own peace and harmony, you simply don't know that.

Again, I'm not claiming anything, so nothing to back up. I've already explained why and how to you this so many times, but you keep forgetting what I've said, and so there is nothing I can do about that, you'll just have to keep believing your own bullshit over and over again and repeating it to yourself until your last breath.

Not until you SHOW where I have, supposedly, written any thing contradictory.
Once again you make a claim, which you will NOT back up, straightaway. Whether you will at all we will have to wait and see.

1. you said you enjoy talking TO some thing. But then you said that thing does not actually exist.

I have shown where you have written a contradiction, so now it is your turn.

Another deflection.

And another contradiction of YOURS.

2. You tell me to stop contradicting myself but also say that there is no self to contradict itself.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 2:11 pm
Age wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 2:05 pmTwo sentences are written;
One states "stop contradicting yourself".
The very next sentence states that it would be no effort to just stop thinking there really is a self that can contradict itself. Implying that there is NO self, which could even contradict its self.

So, from one sentence to the next sentence it is worded "stop contradicting yourself" but "there is NO self to contradict itself".

If there is NO self, then WHY do 'you' ENJOY talking TO and ABOUT a self? And, 'one' which 'you' actually call "thee nondual self"?

And, if there is NO self, then who or what is thee 'you' if it is NOT a self, itself?
I've told you before, there is no self enjoying talking to its no self, are you deaf, why do you keep forgetting what I've said to you?

.
BECAUSE you change and contradict so often. If I mention one thing, then you say that you said the contradicting thing, but if I am to say that latter one, then you say the former one, and ask the same thing; Why do I keep forgetting what you have said?

If we were to LOOK BACK then I think it will be clear about who EXACTLY is forgetting.

If 'you' use the word 'you', then there is OBVIOUSLY a 'self'. Are 'you' TOTALLY BLIND.

You can say all you want. But each time you contradict and I feel like SHOWING it, then I WILL. Understood.

You SAID, "you enjoy talking to "thee nondual SELF", which means there IS A SELF. But now you say there is NO SELF. Can you NOT see the contradiction?

So, which one is it?

Is there a "nondual self" or is there NO self at all?

Your clarification will be most helpful, for future references.

Did you MISS what was going on here. I don't care what you are talking about,
IF you do NOT care what I am talking about, then do NOT claim that you KNOW what I am talking about, and then when challenged you are completely AND utterly incapable of providing any thing at all.

You have now even deflected this to; 'you' do not care what I am talking about'. The contradicting way you behave here is astonishing.

Remember it was 'YOU' who made the claim you KNOW what I am talking about. If you seriously do NOT care what I am talking about, then WHY make such a ridiculous claim that you have, and which you OBVIOUSLY never could substantiate?
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 2:31 pm I'm talking about what I am talking about because that's what I enjoy talking about.
Which 'we', readers, still have absolutely NO idea what that is because 'you' contradict so quickly AND so often.
Dontaskme wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2019 2:31 pmI don't give a toss what you are talking about, because you will NEVER be my reality, I can never know you, so why do you think I would be interested in you that I can never know.

I have NEVER thought you would be interested in 'me'. In fact 'you' have NEVER shown any thing at all to even consider this as an option. The only thing you have ever shown any interest at all, to me, is 'you' and 'your' BELIEFS.

Have 'you' forgotten that you claimed to ALREADY KNOW what I am 'trying to' say, and I just challenged you on that?

You even claim to KNOW what I am saying about half a dozen times of so. So surely you could not have forgotten already?
