I do not see why you should feel so threatened about my certainties. I have no authority here. I can tell you the truth but I can never convince you of it. You have to come of it on your own. I can point out when wrong turns are made but I can't stop anyone along their path.

Why would you get angry at a treasure map just because you do not not how to read it? It does not make the the treasure any less real, any less valuable. You just have to keep trying to figure it out until eventually you get to the treasure.

I can tell you how to get the treasure but ultimately its you that has to go get it.

The same facts that everyone consciously contemplates. Experience. I know everything that I have exprienced, can you say the same?

We may have our own treasure map. I'm not angry, its you that expresses yourself with anger. My experiences are not yours and yours are not mine. Can I convince you by reciting mine?

Creation of a Stoa instead of a Marketplace. If someone claims no authority, can not get his message across and dis-stresses Philosophers should person (troll) stay on ?

Do we not have an Exit button ?

I realize it is primitive but talking stops at a certain point.

Lie to me and see where that gets you...Even on this forum we see many levels of knowledge, and among the knowledgeable we see various levels of common sense... Part of the reason we are here is to share knowledge, and not just insight, annd insight without knowledge is always suspect...

I think your beyond redemption, I leave you to your certainties.

William we need to get busy on the science of understanding the mind and ethics as you and me will have descendents just like this.:detective:

Good Luck upon your journey!

Certainty is the brain food of fools...

Is that another way of saying: Get out of town!!!!! ???

You'll have to try better than that my son

I would like to invite others to read other post in other threads by Trismegisto, as I find a high level of intellect in them [ in my opinion] He does come acoss angry and odd in this thread but then again we all have evil in us.

When we feel that others do not care about what we have to share [ what we value] with others We do become emotional. Trismegisto please try to ignore what may seem to be hateful by others and others please try not to take personally Trismegisto emotions to your replies. and see how far we all get. Ok you all can be mad at me now if you like, but I am only sharing my point of view with you all. Thanks, Reasoning Self Logic:detective:

I think you have god intentions but his inability to reason and his quickness to be abusive has angered many. We do have differences of opinion and we do fall out but I hope we act we civility towards each other. Lets hope your words of encouragement work.

I think your reasoning on logic has let you down on this occasion, its like dealing with an angry dog that has no teeth.

Did you notice him lashing out at me and trying to put me down? I can only imagine it was because I was not trying to put him down. I made a post asking each of the readers to try and give him a chance and after that post you replied with this [his [inability to reason]:poke-eye: and his quickness to be abusive has angered many] Do you think that this could have been offensive to him?:detective: I may start another thread in ethics on all of this. I will not give answers but will only ask questions to all of the readers so that you all can be the judges and not I.

Being the subject of examination will hardly calm his aggression. I dont know if I want to curse him or console him.

By the will of the infinite supreme man was brought forth to witness creation from within and through mans love of the eternal harmony of god's creation and the of all the ideas and objects within, brought forth the universe in celebration.

I can agree with the essence of what you are driving at here. It's a positive poetry, one might say. How far off is this interpretation? That the Supreme brings forth man to share in its/his Beauty/Goodness.

It does come off more as a hybrid of poetry/myth/philosophy than straight philosophy.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that. But if you want to be better understood, you might want to shape it up, present it more clearly. And maybe add certain disclaimers. I say this because if you are understood as a mystic you are going to encounter to some serious resistance. As mysticism is associated with the Dark Ages, etc.

Personally, I find all sorts of mysticism poetically or metaphorically true. As to the boundary twixt philosophy, mysticism, and poetry, that's a complicated issue. You are coming from a positive place, it seems, and that resonates with me. On the other hand, I'm also a lover of clarity. Anyway, I'm glad to have you on the forum. :bigsmile:

Since I started this thread a better analogy would be trapping.
