What Generates This...Not that one is, but that whereby Is, is.

I recommend that you come up with another version of your favourite saying.

A version that actually means something in English.

Or in French, or Spanish, or German, or any language that you choose.

If you can do that, people might listen to you more.

As it is, your favourite saying is just nonsense babble. I am sure you don't mean it like that.

It is not how fast you go
it is when you get there.

It is not unlike the Upanishads. What cannot be thought with the mind, but that whereby the mind can think...What cannot be seen with the eye, but that whereby the eye can see..., etc.

When I was young, I found it hard to understand why my college professors were so obtuse and not easily understood. Then, years later I became a college professor and began to understand why I could not discern back then. I did have to pay my dues. I had to become worthy. I had to suffer in order to obtain knowledge and wisdom. You too could do just that. It is you who needs to change, not me.

Have you ever heard of the Temple of Man by Schwaller de Lubicz? His works are not unlike mine though his are much more advanced. Of the Temple of Man, Schwaller warns that “effort” is required to read his opus. This effort, according to him, is a form of suffering for initiation to deep knowledge. As the Ancients stated, suffering is the engine for the evolution of consciousness: “It is suffering that causes the widening of consciousness.” Where suffering is understood as a profound experience brought about by the conflict of consciousness, not as sorrow. Acquiring just some of the pharaonic mentality is suffering itself as the modern mechanistic mentality presents a formidable barrier to learning anything more advanced. Attitude brought on by our Pop-Culture is for easy access to any and all data. But, we are missing the real learning of the heart because we cannot go beyond to the level of the saints. We simply do not know how to learn beyond our silly little world.

The Ancient Egyptians and the Vedics knew things we cannot even approach due to our method/s of attaining knowledge. Wisdom is out of the question in this day and age due to our co-opting of the soul by distractions. Take how women have been exploited to think like bimbos and all dress alike to attract attention to themselves. They cannot think beyond Cosmo. Half of humanity is preoccupied with the chasing of them, and the other half is doing the chasing. If one were to look about, he/she would discern that there is a wealth of wisdom to attain in mere silence. Who can find such silence in our world?

Not that one (you or anyone else) is, but "That" (the present Godly moment) whereby (how it is done) Is (existence), is (can be).

Not that one is, but that whereby Is, is. Or, It is not about you, but being here is about the means to how all this is even possible. I am in awe of just being here — and being self-aware with this fiery-intelligence.

It is not how fast you go
it is when you get there.

Are you there yet?

... your sweeping generalisation that just because some women may dress, think and act like bimbos that all women are the same. I am not.

As for Silence - it is easily found for those who wish to find it. I find it, enjoy it, benefit from it and learn from it every day.

Please stop being so pompous.

Please stop positioning something you do not understand as bad if you do not care to really realize your own lack of discernment. It may be that you just have not moved to that level of communications. I had many pompous teachers that I later forced myself to understand and then, Gee — I started liking them because I finally saw their point. But I am with you...it is hard to give up what has always been an enclave.

If a woman is beautiful and has the tools to manipulate others, it may be hard for them to be scholars. I taught with many of them on the university level and every one of them resorted to the same behavior later on, due to the game. Perhaps you have stopped playing the game or you have finally arrived as a great philosopher. If so, congratulations! It is certainly not easy and you are to be complemented on that attainment.

Being still and quite may seem like I’m not engaging in anything, when in actually by simply observing my surroundings with a still mind, I can hear the voice of Nature speaking to me. Just because I can’t see things change doesn’t mean they’re not changing…the only thing I can truly count on in life is that things change.

The laws of the universe will continue to show me that it runs Nature perfectly and as it sees fit to do so. It is constantly telling me the effects of my desires and drives. As I diligently unify Spirit, Love, and knowledge in all my daily affairs, Truth becomes known to me even in this lifetime.

The way in which I should live to attain Truth is shown to me in my day to day activities, because they are woven into Nature itself and all the rules that are seen there are in their purist and perfect form. Do not try to vocalize or intellectualize these pure rules for life, strive to see them as nature expresses them, and the secrets of life then become apparent. What I can see nature doing is her language, it’s how she communicates to me, and in her language I find those pure patterns of her life which she is forever showing me. My true Self can be known by what it accomplishes in my life, and It always wants me to see that it will guide me if only I will let It. Soon the entire human race will begin to translate what nature is continually telling us. This will become the true religion and people will finally find peace and contentment. As for now many of us do not yet trust our higher Self, seeing the fruits of our egoic existence assuming that’s all there is to life, and the obvious inability of that lower self to take care of us or to help us grow. Once I started to break natures code and unravel her Divine secrets, then did I truly understand the awesome power of nature and how insignificant my little human mind is in comparison. Since that glorious time of enlightenment, my soul has basked in euphoric reverence.

We need to take the time to become more s/Self aware and truly learn from each of the hard knocks of life, lessons that are so essential to internal growth, so that the glorious time of God-man-ship will be not be postponed. However if humans continue to live in their current cycles of hate, ignorance, and discontent believing that this is the only way to live or experience life, then our evolution as a race of sentient beings will soon come to an end. Nature will end us because whatever does not evolve is useless. The backing up of all that negativity, will destroy our very Mind and Soul, then Nature will simply flush us and begin the process all over again.

Freak,

M'fraid I have to side with Earthling on this one. You have a wealth of knowledge to share but you often choose an archaic way of expressing it believing that is better or more pure somehow. That may be so in some sense, but think of it this way: Hebrew simultaneously expresses universal symbolism, mathematical purity, AND conveys coherent conversational thought, but it would be useless for you to speak to us in Hebrew because most of us do not understand or have knowledge of the language. And if you did speak to us in Hebrew, and we questioned you about it telling you that it would be better for us if you explained it in english, would you berate us for not spending the years it takes to understand the language? In essence, that is what you did to Earthling.

Be a good parent, sir. A good parent does not communicate to their child in an overly intellectual and confusing language using words or long winded rants the child has not yet learned or cannot follow and then blame the child for not understanding any of it. A good parent communicates to his children on THEIR LEVEL, and gradually increases the difficulty in language pushing firmly yet letting the child learn at their own pace. Come on now Freak, would you sit down to teach a child to play chess and then go all out giving them no chance to learn? Not if you really wanted them to learn chess. They would soon become completely overwhelmed, would more than likely feel so inferior that they would not only loose interest in the game, and might even believe that they are not 'good enough' to learn. They most certainly would not want to play chess with you any more. A good teacher would simplify the game to the point of absurdity making it fun for the child until the child begins to see the patterns for themselves, and then the teacher would gradually employ more tactics on them.

You ruffle a lot of feathers with your pompous attitude, and turn off a lot of would-be-learners simply because you're rude to them and treat them like they are beneath you. Not all of us has the luxury of getting a good education, but that does not mean that we are beneath you or not worthy of your wisdom. We are all One consciousness, sir, experiencing itself through different personalities and filters. Share yourself with us and you increase yourself. Alienate yourself from us and you most certainly decrease yourself.

Namaste, my friend.
