Stick with the radical spontaneity. This isn't a cookie cutter operation on either one of these discussion boards. I do have trouble staying with fixed concepts because they're tools that aren't always useful wherever you take them. I'm fine talking about Awareness and Consciousness until somebody tries to objectify and personify them, then I reject those words. I'm infamous for talking about God, and then responding to a post with "There is no God". From my perspective, I'm constantly telling peeps 'I didn't say that', and reading what I do say seems to be the logical solution to that. Yup. And I completely get that (and appreciate it) now, too. And yes, the spiritual convo concept/word tool box is one that has to be flexible and stay flexible..within reason of course...it's the nature of the beast. That said, I see you as using wordage that is pretty consistent with most nonduality teachers.

Reefs, you are such a control Freak. For the first time in a while, the conversation on ST has started to flow again....let it be for Christs sake. You seem to value a dead forum over a bit of contention. I think if we look a tad deeper, what's really going on is that you're pissed at Enigma for daring to disagree with you...it hurts and when that happens, you lash out. You are a very, very intolerant person in that regard. Hey, I haven't banned anyone, nor do I even offer much at all in the way of control as to how forum discussions unfold. It's pretty loose around here in case you haven't noticed. Reefs on the other hand keeps a pretty tight reign on things over there...and he's now, once again, allowing his argument with another member, and his resultant anger, to enter into his moderating.

That thing belongs in a garage sale somewhere this summer. That is so funny Art....I've always pictured that stuffy as some kind of for sale item in a garage or rummage type sale, too....LOL. Interestingly enough, the image looks a 'lil brigher, cleaner and less old on this site....maybe a slightly different image..?

I've actually gotten pretty good at understanding the posts you create. I have 'no idea' how that happened. Do you think it's something you can teach Andrew?

Reefs had an issue with the way I was defining Consciousness, and what followed right after was your post above in which he sees me as the cause of confusion with my radical defining practices. Sigh...I really wanted to be Switzerland. It's pretty funny 'cause if anyone is the king of radical spiritual definitions....(re-definitions!) it's Andrew. You've done pretty well with the whole 'Switzerland' bit to date........the end is not yet written. **Pulls out Swiss army knife and cleans finger nails**

I thought so too, but they're making it sound like I'm making this stuff up, and then changing it on a whim.
