In advanced states of consciousness, you become aware that there is no distinugishing differences between all people: we are all one and the same. Thus the "love your enemy" bit that IoftheStorm brought up. I'm sorry if a lot of people can't see it (I have a lot of trouble myself, but I think it is Truth).

 

[Erik]

I don't really see that "love your enemy" logically follows realization that "all are one and the same" though?

 

[NAD]

Would there even be an enemy to the individual if we were one and the same?

 

[Erik]

Eh. I'd say it doesn't have practical value to be in states of consciousness THAT advanced.

 

[NAD]

Yeah probably not. If we're dealing with enemies I want them clear cut, like wearing opposing colored jersies or something.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Going back to Erik's point: lower stages of consciousness operate at different paradigms -- the thinking is totally, absolutely different. Someone that high on the ladder would see no use for practicality. There are no enemies or friends. It's a bit hard to explain, seeing as how 99% of human consciousnesses are not even close to being that advanced. I don't even fully comprehend it, but basically every person who has traversed the 9 fulcrums of consciousness (we're talking fulcrum 5 here, with the universality of all humanity) has agreed that it is part of the essential One Truth (which has the big kicker: EVERYTHING in the universe is of this "radiant abyss").

I need some LSD to figure it out.

 

[Erik]

Good thing I'm happy here on my very practical stage of consciousness with both feet firmly on the ground, friends and enemies and no drugs then.

 

[NAD]

This is starting to remind me of this book, How to be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days I read about 15 years ago. Kid finds the book to make him perfect, then reads it, and discovers that perfect people do nothing but sit around all day drinking weak tea, so he says "fuck that noize, yo" and goes out to find big breasted whores or some shit.

 

[Black Winter Day]

I read that book as well in like 4th grade. Imagine if he discovered the absolute nothingness that is beyond life and time! Then he could finger 2nd graders and it wouldn't matter.

Erik: that's probably the much safer, easier way to go. (I was kidding about the drugs thing anyway, they're only good for "peek experiences", not actual advancement).

 

[NAD]

The only thing drugs do for me in terms of thinking is make me a little more open to an idea I would normally think absurd, but I try to do that without the drugs now anyhow. The problem is that where clarity is achieved, comprehension can suffer. Kinda goes back to the moderation is key element.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Moderation breeds mediocrity!

(I hope no one else has said that before, cause that's a pretty cool quote.)

 

[NAD]

Hahaha it's cool but I disagree. Although a moderate drug user is a mediocre abuser I suppose.

 

[Black Winter Day]

But it sounds good. The best quotes don't have to mean anything, just sound cool."

"And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death."

 

[NAD]

But it sounds good. The best quotes don't have to mean anything, just sound cool.

Hahaha you need to run for president. You're right by the way. :Spin:

 

[Erik]

Moderation becomes mediocrity, solitude leads to individualism, and community is reduced to mere conviviality. It is time for a reform.

 

[Black Winter Day]

I am full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
