Still, since you seem to find my posts inflammatory, I will no longer post on your threads.

Peace.


I do not view your thoughts as inflammatory, and have not given any indication that I do. Thus, it is your assumptions of others that is really inflamed. It is you, not me, who has gotten excited about whatever.

Yet, I have no quarrell with you not posting, wherever you decide to do that, it makes no difference to me what you do, or don't do.

I understand that people are sensitive, and knowing myself, perhaps its best you do move away from me, because I will be very real and blunt about things, and I can hardly speak with sensitive people, without some hurt comming out of nowhere.

Peace to you anyhow.

Re: God and Consciousness.

In the whole scheme of consciousness, life is but a moment. Some approach this with the awareness of that moment, so they seek to enjoy it. Others look to dominate the moment, claim it, while others just go along with the flow of the moment. Even still, others rebel against the moment. Then a few worship the moment, make a god of it, while others look to hide from it.

The pacification of self will produce a rainbow coalition of human reaction, and we build sdtandards of belief from these reactions.

Such is how it is to be conscious. The thoughts can run wild.

And I want to go into the volitile nature of consciousness.

Peace.

There is no excitement on my part.

However, you said

and I assumed that you found my comments and questions insulting.

Well you were inncorrect, and as I have stated, it was your assumptions that were inflamed, not me.

Peace.

Seems to me that our definitions of the word 'inflamed' differ greatly. I am not inflamed, as I have already said, nor are my comments. I accept your statement that you were not insulted. That's fine.

Did I ever blame anyone else for what I said (or did)? I am not aware that I did and would be quite happy if you showed me where I blamed another for my words.

I hold no intrest in examining your behavior, at the moment, I am sharing my intrest in consciousness and God.

If I may continue on that them;

Consciousness is a jewell, its golden and priceless. Thus, I can see it as something that should last forever. Now whenever I start trying to examine eternity, quess who comes into the picture; God!

God, eternity and consciousness. Now that is a formula for the unknown, and I think our future. And I want to touch on that some.

Peace.

Then don't examine my behaviour. That is your prerogative. Just remember that you have posted this thread on a public forum that is open to comments by anyone who wishes to do so according to what they want to say.
The point and purpose of the forum is debate, after all.

I am open to all comments, but I am only communicating further on the comments according to what intrest me. I am not intrested in anyones personage, or emotional content. As far as debate, I hold no intrest in that neither, but I am sure that you will find many who are.

People find debate, because its easy to find.

Relevant conversation is a far differing thing to find.

Peace.
