  • roarrrrrr!!!

  • @DerivedEnergy Needs can't be avoided; wants and desires are optional. You have no idea about the how and why of our presence here.

    You also have no frame of reference to know what existence would be like without desire. We don't need desire to exist and existence without desire is not like being dead.

    We also don't need to be motivated to act or think. Things flow as they should, and if we follow intuition, the right course of action always unfolds. Less thinking would be beneficial.

  • @SageBodisattva ''The needs of organisms are inherent and not consciously contrived. The wants and desires, however, are.''

    Needs, wants and desires are all CONTRIVED by nature. Our presence here is purely incidental and insignificant.

    ''Pleasure and suffering can be dropped''

    They provide impetus to our actions. Without them we would not be motivated to think nor to act. Rather sounds like being dead wouldn't you say. Or like the non-sentient matter.

    ''Exit''

    and harm others? No.

  • @DerivedEnergy The needs of organisms are inherent and not consciously contrived. The wants and desires, however, are. So why not simply discard them? Pleasure and suffering can be dropped. We are OF the body and not FROM the body.

    Much of your points rest on viewing aspects as being good or bad; entirely relative and subjective distinctions. For every bad you reference there is an equal good. And so what? There's more to life then just sensations. You personally dislike it? That's fine. Exit.

  • @SageBodisattva ''Sentience is the parent of all delights.''

    Oh poor Mars! How can it hope with all that utter lack of sentience?

    ''Sentient beings can experience enlightenment, find resolve and reach a content medium between hunger and satiation.''

    Contrive a need and then hope those needs are met to a level that is pleasing to the organism. It's absurd and there is always a gap. We need to be busy making babies now so we can fill up all the prisons, mortuaries and mental asylums.

  • @DerivedEnergy Great! Those are some really nice subjective opinions. Here's another one: Sentience is the parent of all delights. Sentient beings can experience enlightenment, find resolve and reach a content medium between hunger and satiation. I have no knowledge that is beyond human understanding, nor claimed as such. I experience what is available; preferably as far detached from the discriminating mind as possible. And above all, I don't join movements and use someone else's rhetoric.

  • @SageBodisattva ''Even the lowest form of degraded awareness is capable of reaching enlightenment; and they have infinite time and space to do so.''

    Sentience is the parent of all horrors. Sentient beings will always be pursuing enlightenment, always restless never satiated. Your bold assertion concerning the scope of time and space is duly noted. You proclaim to have knowledge that is beyond the scope of human understanding. You are nothing more than a mystic with a large vocabulary.

  • @absolutelyfree1963 "I find it never pays in the long run to mix fact with fiction or to confuse one with the other." I agree in principle, but I'm very aware that "fact" and "fiction" are enormously subjective. I live in a place of endless possibility now...having been liberated from the illusory constructs of shared or defined fact/fiction. I'm sorry that you see differences...I see similarities. In any case, I too wish you the best in your endeavors. :-)

  • @absolutelyfree1963 Looking at your channel, we have quite a bit in common, friend :-) Btw, I actually did a little pilgrimage to Khalil Gibran's home in Bcharre, Lebanon about 12 years ago...excellent place to visit.

  • @absolutelyfree1963 Sorry, I'm probably too brainwashed to research and understand such things...I'm too controlled by the Illuminati to do anything right now...try again later. And no, when I did acid years ago, it was very high quality...too bad it couldn't guard me against the Illuminati...I imagine they're watching me scratch my rear right now...I'm so powerless...they're probably making my rear have that very itch so they can watch me scratch it...*eye roll*
