This makes no sense to me. Could you clarify?

Phil is definitely Phil. I know what you're doing but it doesn't go as far as I think you think it does. it's a cop out. When someone addresses us on the issues we raise, we can pretend we don't exist to evade examination on the merits. Phil has a lot to say and he has strong opinions to boot. This gets a little too slick. You even sound like him in your writing like you're emulating him. If I didn't know any better I would think that was his writing.

Crap goggles? It's ok. Take a step back and redouble efforts. There's always another day. That's one of the great things. We get lots of tries.

Maybe he has done this. What he's getting out of it is expressing his original ideas about spirituality. Why should this site be so adamant about pushing ideas as a precondition for being here? I don't think that's smart. I think we need to be more openminded. There's no need to silence people and shoo them away because they disagree with us. That's weak sauce in my opinion. If you want to allow expression, do that, value that. If not, well people will have to make a decision as to whether their voice is even valued here.

He's giving me warning points man. Lay off the silliness for a while.

You gave me another warning point. What's up with you? Why can't we discuss these things like adults here? You have me 5 warnings this morning. You're losing it.

Why aren't you being warned for thread bumping and excessive personalizing?

Phil just gave me another warning point.

Correct. That's the issue.

Leo demoted @Phil from being a mod because he didn't like his language and now he's giving me warning points because I challenge his ideas. Someone challenging your ideas should not cause you to trigger if you are solid in your spirituality. Consider that. Clinging to those ideas to prop your spirituality up is only going to take you up to a certain point. Once those ideas are gone, you lose your shite. There's a higher level than that where your spirituality is not hinged to any orthodoxy.

I'm not suffering. Thanks Mandy. I do appreciate your insights.

Maybe the Neo-Advaita stuff is brainwashing.

I don't disagree with this. This is a key insight.

He gave me that and another point this morning. I think he's getting triggered.

Nonduality is covert hierarchy because the self is concealed instead of revealed. It's one of those who do I believe you (the no self language) or my lying eyes. Disagree with a nondual person's ideology and you'll find their separate self and hierarchy real quick. I see through this nonsense. I'm not saying you're talking nonsense.

I prefer transduality because nonduality contains all dualities. The Infinite contains and knows the finite. This is just my opinion. You have the Infinite which is the Whole and then you have the finite which are distinguishable parts within the whole, including words that form dualities.

That's just a pointer. What is shows is there's no bright line separation between the Infinite and the finite.

You just gave me another warning point. For what?

They're 2 sides of the same coin. There's a little bit of the finite in the Infinite and a little bit of the Infinite in the finite.

Persons are finite although I won't want Phil to give me another warning point for talking about persons too much. Egos are finite. The finite reflect the Infinite and the Infinite reflects the finite.

What is? is an interrogative use of language.

What is what is?

Infinity knows the finite. This is obvious to me. The finite knows the Infinite too.

There’s a Phil that gave me a warning this morning for "too much personalizing, stay on topic". But there's nobody here. Come on man. I got a warning point for talking about persons. But who have me the warning point? No one!
