hmm, I can see that. He is quickly entering into the irritation mode which I definitely see that as a problematic. I always wonder what he means by Peace? His Peace is including everything, irritation, terrific anger Like ZD. ZD's realization doesn't free him yet but still claims that he is SR. I thought we were talking about UG.

I thought we were talking about UG. Why would you want to? He was irritable most of the time. As are you.

No, you're morphing my statement that not-knowing can come to an end into a claim of knowledge. As far as the childishness is concerned, if you're speaking to someone who has their finger in their ears, you have to gesture to get their attention. Is it really a morph though? Isn't that what the end of an absence would have to be? A presence?.... there's some mysterious sort of 'in between' middle layer, betwix an absence of NOT knowing and knowing? You're calling me out for suggesting the obvious, and all the while holding out on where I go wrong in that suggestion. It's like if I said to you; My absence of eating has come to an end, and you responded with "oh, so you're eating again"? And I say, "you're morphing my statement," But completely holding out on how my absence of eating does not in fact equal "eating." The only way for 'not eating' to end is to start eating. The end of an absence of 'something,' is the re-introduction of that 'something'. As I've said previously though, I'm not quite sure you and I are talking about the same, when we reference 'not knowing,' so that might be the issue.

Well, from what you've written in the past, I'd surmise that you're referring here to your change of heart about what E' was writing, but can you pinpoint a specific moment in time when the realization occurred? I can indeed. However, I'd had moments in the past where I'd momentarily seen the totality to be empty, but very quickly, mind would leap back in to reserve a sacred idea or two, (in one instance, I was wiping my toddlers ass during toilet training and literally, fell on my own ass on the bathroom floor, laughing) thus, that moment where the seeing through of it all was complete in that mind didn't jump back in to claim something for itself, wasn't as mind-blowing as some describe awakening to be. I was though, initially hit by the 'complete starkness'....the absolute 'nothing to hang a hat upon.' I think for many, the 'non-complete' insights and glimpses and momentary seeing throughs/temporary losses can happen for years and then there's 'the final straw,' like that. Is it 'modeling a notion' to be very, very clear that a realization is a loss...a seeing through....an absence? The seeing through of the illusion of separation...the seeing through of the phenomenal world, all perceivables as NOT having inherent, independent substance? And that it is 'complete' only if that seeing through is complete? Yeah, for me, "awakening," has a very specific meaning. Guilty as charged. What 'notion' in particular are you taking issue with? Where I scorned or ridiculed, you can bet it had something to do with the tone of the entire conversation. And, Fwiw, I've never used the specific term "SR," ....whenever folks outright and directly asked me if I was specifically "Self Realized" I'd explain it wasn't I term I used. But yes, it's very possible to think you are fully 'awake,' SR, liberated, but still have some blind spots. And yes, folks generally don't like even the merest suggestion that they may not be as awake as they think they are. Just look how you're reacting here. Nah, I don't find any of what you wrote here to be genuine, like, at all. .. so, you're welcome to it.

Who knows what Farmer thinks, whether there's holes in his message or not...he never posts any actual content, just flies in once & awhile to kick me. hee hee you think I find some idea to be sacred? .. only in yer imagination sista'.

I thought she was talking about Satch. Why? Why did I think that? Cuz it's the God's sacred Truth.
