China, he comes on as if he holds a philosophers degree when in fact he doesn’t.

When the mind is free from idea that there can be experiencing. Ideas are not truth; and truth is something that must be experienced directly, from moment to moment. It is not an experience which you want -which is then merely sensation. Only when one can go beyond the bundle of ideas -which is the "me," which is the mind, which has a partial or complete continuity only when one can go beyond that, when thought is completely silent, is there a state of experiencing. Then one shall know what truth is.

At least I was entertaining from time to time ...You Ain't .

You see China it is about you being better then the rest of us here, so come down to earth and be friends with humanity . If you think you are smarter then all of us, than what..... are you about to ask for a fee for bombarding us with all your intellectual properties while you tell every one they are wrong and you are the bright light we should embrace? Give it up man..........
I don't have a problem with you other than the fact that you feel you are better then others. Self centered.......

But you wouldn't recognize it because you are mindless and thoughtless. :roll: Do you recognize air when you aren't thinking about it? lmao
Definitely entertaining.

Why do you say things like that ?, we are all the same.Psychologically speaking, Socrates the Greek , if you imply that something is better or best ;then what you are doing my friend is denying that which is good.......we are all good..
are you about to ask for a fee for bombarding us with all your intellectual properties while you tell every one they are wrong and you are the bright light we should embrace?
My posts state my points of view .Whether you believe them or not is' none of my business'.I have indicated many times ....'don't believe what I say ,find your own truth'.Perhaps that is to hard to understand or agree with .

Just wondering ,why do you want to respect other people's feelings and points of view? Are you afraid of having your own feelings hurt, your point of view being changed? If people have opinions that differ from yours, you can find out if they are true only by questioning them, by coming into active contact with them. And if you find that those opinions and feelings are not true, your discovery may cause disturbance to those who cherish them. Then what should you do? Should you comply with them, or compromise with them in order not to 'hurt' your friends?Think about it.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

You bet it does. :)
My opinions are usually based on evidence, however.
Of I said the color black is dark, I would hardly be surprised if I did not get any sincere ridicule or opposition. So that leaves out the fellow's first two premises.
