I am talking about the interest in "Truth/Nonduality" itself....an actual sincere interest necessarily comes hand in hand with the willingness to uphold all ideas to light of intense scrutiny....a sincere interest involves being up for leaving no stone unturned. And I'm not really sure at this point precisely what you're belly-aching about here. I'm no longer on ST...and there's no laws against taking post content from one forum to comment upon it on another....the posts are considered 'public' once they are posted. If you think you're somehow going to convince me that civil response and discussion to posts that originated on a public forum is deeply, morally wrong and that in that, I'm going to stop doing what I'm doing, your operating under a huge misconception. Absent that, what is your point exactly....to simply shame me for the behaviors you deem to be wrong and intolerable? Such excuses, Such justications. Its almost like you really haven't a clue as to your own egoic mechanicians, the very thing you claim to be free from, and claim to want to free others from, right? It seems, however, that the doctor hasn't yet healed herself first. What is my point? Simple. I am here to exercise my right to free speech on a public forum, as an American born with the right to free speech. You got a problem with that? Well, there is a main topic/thrust to this forum.....it's not just for anything at all you want to talk about...I'm wondering when the Truth-talk is gonna start and the whining about what you judge to be "bad behavior/poor character" is gonna end. You DID say you were interested in and enjoying "dharma battle/combat" didn't you? It's one thing to directly address the posts where you perceive evidence of my "egoic mechanicians and the fact that I supposedly am somehow "unhealed" vs. just throwing judgmental accusations based on the fact that you don't like the way I've behaved. I get it. You think I'm full of shit when it comes to Nonduality...you think I'm an asshole for the way I engage and directly challenge folks even as they try to hide from that. What now?

You DID say you were interested in and enjoying "dharma battle/combat" didn't you? What do you think I'm doing? Oh, I don't play by your rules so you probably don't recognise it. In reality, unlike you, I don't have any rules. I move as I'm moved. I never know what I might say or do next. But right now, I'm moved to go to bed. So, until we met again, I will wish you sweet dreams.

If you find yourself getting anxious...uncomfy or angry when on a Nonduality forum when someone, (in a civil, polite manner) challenges an assertion you put forth as Truth, and you refuse to answer and resort to extremes such as outright ignoring the question, lashing out in anger, resorting to personal insult or even banning/blocking the one who asserts the challenge....there's a very good chance that avoidance is evidence of ego trying defend a 'sacred idea/belief.'

And there's the description of synch's absent the baggage of applied theory/belief. That's what presents and what can be observed before mind/ego gets a hold of it all to try to spin a story of creation/causation, erroneously imagined as catalyzed by the character/person.
What if mind does not leap in to assume one facet of appearance/experiential content is "causing/creating/attracting" the other?
Taking the observation of apparently correlated events/thought/feeling and turning it into a story of creation/attraction is to leave the realm of 'what is known for certain' and entering into the realm of theorizing/surmising/imagining.
Ultimately, it's one, singular, seamless story/dream and it's all just appearing....arising....happening...unfolding, absent any fundamental/existential "laws" that dictate the manner in which it does so.
Nonduality takes all those kinds of imaginings/surmisings/theories that have hardened into beliefs for many an SVP, just as they clearly have for you, and it holds them up to the light of clarity.....in that it becomes clear that ideas such as LOA...deliberate creation, which are really nothing more than mind-derived answers to misconceived existential questions, are simply the SVP's way of trying to convince itself that it's in control...relevant...."creating/controlling" what manifests.
Just because the thought/feeling "precedes" the "following" appearance of blue glass, butterflies, etc, does not mean the thought/feeling actually "catalyzed/created/attracted" those appearances.
Again, invoke the movie screen metaphor...is anything that appears on that screen "actually" attracting or causing/creating anything else that appears on the screen? Nope. It's all fundamentally, essentially, one seamless appearance/apparent unfolding.

Take this forum as living proof of what will happen if you go that route.
