I don't know what you're talking about, but this doesn't help to move the discussion forward. Are you able to respond to my questions? I'm asking questions to facilitate communication - to practice active listening - to understand what you're saying and your perspectives (and to be able to accurately answer what you are asking me in a way you too will understand). But that doesn't work without both people contributing to the conversation. If you are not interested in communicating what you have to say, then we are both wasting our time here, unfortunately.

I do not think I am going to discuss much of anything with you.
I only plant on fertile ground.

Ew, gross. I'm nobody's "fertile ground," son. Ew. Seriously, ew. Normally I'd say your loss, but... ew. Ew. Use less rapey metaphors when you get all prematurely judgey. :sweat:

Well said, Quintessence. I don't think it's possible to have a comprehensive discussion with someone who refuses to provide evidence to substantiate their extraordinary claims, especially when they're asked to do so. Personally speaking, I think it's very important for people to provide sufficient evidence if they're going to post claims that are generally considered to be out of the ordinary. That's my opinion, at least. It's the reason why I post my threads in this forum and why I share my experiences in other members' threads.

When you make any statement regarding me, or to me, you should
always take into account that you place far more value upon your
opinions, far more than I.

The reason that many of the wise have given throughout history for not sharing certain aspects of their understandings with others, was that some would come to use them in pursuit of worldly self-interest.

I use to think that keeping such understandings to themselves was selfish. Sometimes, I see it slightly differently today.


Humbly,
Hermit

I think some wisdoms remain secret not because the wise guard them with jealousy and out of fear of what the "worldly" might do with it, but because the "worldly" are incapable of seeing the wisdom of it.

Wisdom is a Spirit. A Holy Spirit. One of the greatest, among all spirits and Spirits.

I never do that to which I will fail.
I never take any risks.
I know the secret to crossing any bridge, without taking any risk.
And I never seek that to which once I obtain it,
does not exceed the value of what it cost me
to obtain it.
