[ProfessorNobody]

Nothing like a good, long Wilson rant. Thanks for sharing.

[ImaginationBlue]

I think you would be closer to the enlightenment Mr. Wilson is talking about it the sunset brought you to tears of joy and gratitude.

[RiffCantrell]

@ImaginationBlue But that would suggest that you are using, or being used, by your emotions. I think you missed the point.

[ImaginationBlue]

@RiffCantrell Thank you for your response. I don't believe I missed Mr. Wilson's point at all; I just disagree. I love RAW, by the way, just don't resonate with this one. Non attachment is one aspect of enlightenment, but he expresses it as "just another lousy sunset." An ecstatic connection with nature and the world, as in the poems or Rumi or William Blake, are much more the aspect of enlightenment and spiritual connection that resonate with me. It's devotional.

[RiffCantrell]

@ImaginationBlue Ah, but RAW's definition of enlightened has more to do with complete detachment. Your version is subjective to your own perceived needs.

[ImaginationBlue]

@RiffCantrell I suggest we see this less academically and more practically. I haven't set out to define enlightenment. The perspective RAW puts forth here is in my opinion not called for in today's western culture, as we already have far too much numb disconnection from our feelings and from nature, and wholesale rapacious destruction of it. "Another lousy sunrise" is not what we need in today's world, which is ridden with a crisis of connection and compassion. Feeling.

[RiffCantrell]

@ImaginationBlue OK, I believe we've misunderstood each other. My initial comment was a reply to a statement I thought was untrue, or a misrepresentation of what RAW said. Your comment that I reply'd to read as if Mr Wilson was wrong in his definition of enlightenment and I corrected that statement believing you didn't understand his point. You both define enlightenment differently...haha, lets leave it at that!

@ImaginationBlue

RAW was talking about observation without judgement, not numb disconnection. You hear Ram Dass talking about the same thing a lot - the ability to observe a potentially horrifying or ecstatic experience and observing it without judging its inherent qualities. Just my input.

[ImaginationBlue]

@HueyTheDoctor87 That's a really good point. RiffCantrell made excellent points as well. Thank you guys. I listen to Robert Anton Wilson almost daily in my car by the way. I have tons of audio interviews and talks, and love his stuff.

@ImaginationBlue

I've only just stumbled onto his work over the last month or so, I'm a huge fan of McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abraham - the trialogues they held were fantastic; McKenna's solo lectures are equally fascinating. With regards to what we were talking about, Ram Dass said on a number of occasions how he can't help but see both sides of everything. Even the most horrible events are filled with beauty and purity. Seeing both sides is a sort of disconnection.

[ImaginationBlue]

A deep feeling of connection, ecstasy and gratitude as a response to nature is, in my opinion, much more what is called for than "just another lousy sunrise" and would help bring a love for and connection and balance to the world and nature, which is a living and feeling being. This perspective is not about me, as in this case there is no other; there's just us.

I listened to this while rocking the baby to sleep and then taking care of a few other chores. It was quite lovely and entertaining.
