It's not by getting rid of anything transitory, that you find something constant to depend on. Trying to find something constant to depend on, isn't intelligence. -- D.

Thus is released any bias in favor of constancy over transitoriness. And vice versa. If there is no intent to depend or have, then no construct or concept deserves any special emphasis, including concepts like " being " " truth " " awareness " and related ideas.

This point of view involves believing there are things called points of view, that there are conditions attached to these points of view which are termed " identifying " and " not identifying. " Your point of view is that the condition termed " not identifying with points of view " can be applied to yourself. There are many ramifications to holding such a point of view. As long as you deny holding a point of view when you speak this way, you won't examine/investigate the assumptions involved in the point of view you're maintaining. > > it includes ideas about a road to hell people are on because they > take > > words the wrong way, and ideas about their clinging, fighting, and > > reacting -- which you don't think you do, but do think you can > point > > out to them. > if one identifies with a point of view...this denies who I am... > and who I am is the only important (thing) that is....point of views > are nonsence....they are not real...only false... > > > to be blind to one's having a point of view disqualifies one from > > being able to preach to others about their points of view, in my > > humble opinion. > you gladly quotes jesus down below so WHY JUDGE AND WHY TROW > STONES... Is that what you think I'm doing? But that thought is only from your point of view. My point of view is that I'm raising questions and inquiring. What, aside from the point of view you're maintaining, leads you to think that any judgment of you is involved in the questions I'm raising? > > first, be fully aware of your own, and upon what the assumptions > it is > > based. > > > > " be aware of the beam in your own eye, before you set about to take > > the splinter out of your neighbor's eye. " > > > > -- D. > all point of views are welccmed in love....no need to judge... > they are only thoughts...I am the one that sees them... > ...iietsa It doesn't make sense to me that love couldn't be involved in disputing, perhaps utterly rejecting, someone's point of view. For example, if someone is a racist, I wouldn't accept that point of view in love, but, if they were able to maintain an open conversation with me, would raise questions about it. It seems to me that disputing points of view, and not accepting them, can be quite loving, in the big picture. But you see, my point of view differs from yours on this issue. And, just so you don't take me wrong, I'm not claiming that there is a separately existing " you " that is attached to your point of view, nor that there is such a " you " attached to mine, either. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
