No manual

[Vinayaka]

Do you kinda get where I'm driving at in context?

Not saying silence isn't valued, just it is incorporated in body language and words. Kind of like when a person teaches and pauses to wait for students to process it. Silence becomes part of the lesson-a puzzle piece of it.

I'm not saying you're wrong or debating. Just wondering if you kinda get it from the other person's perspective. Abrahamic traditions aside since they have their own theology on words.

Yes, I think I get it. Comedians use silence as well. Lots of folks use 'blank' stares'. I had 'no talking' mornings at school. Always interesting days.

That's different than words (words I mean usage of verbal or signing to convey and exchange messages rather than scripture in an abrahamic religious sense) used in spiritual context. I'm sure there's a difference between silence used doing a speech and silence in spiritual communication? (Same with words)

Paying attention to natural thoughts lol

Hm. The hard part in my opinion is trying to interpret which thoughts are useful and which thoughts to put aside or disregard.

Even if you happened to find it, I'd imagine you'd leave the rest of us in ignorance.

I’d share lol


Then again even if I did share you probably won’t believe it anyway

Then there is Rule 8

A comment was made that If one found the Truth, that they would leave the rest in ignorance.

Then you offered that you would share it and most likely, no one would beleive it.

I then offered that Rule 8 would also prevent you from then demonstrating that proof in detail. You would have to offer, that what you offered, was your own opinion and not from a source of truth.

Rule 8?

Still, a manual for putting your car back together if you're a 'do it yourself' kind of guy is incredibly useful. I couldn't do it without the manual. Of course some folks figure the manual also has hands and tools, and a brain to do it for you.

There are so many manuals around, like books on Yoga. Read them but do not take any to be God's own word. Many are just trash.

.. one can choose to meditate what is reported to come from God, ..

Reported, reported, reported. Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence of existence of God?

.. if you are going to share that greater truth, how would you tell me without words?

Of course, I will use words (as I am doing now), but to say that my words are from a God would be a lie.

The funny thing is is I don’t think the greater truth will ever be shared

Buddha did it, many Hindu saints did it, I am doing it here all the time without claiming that my words are from a God.

Nothin written thus far is the truth regarding life’s mysteries

Have you read everything that has been written?

Then there is Rule 8

Rule 8 has nothing to do with sharing ideas, beliefs, revelations, philosophies, etc. Rule 8 is about stating those ideas or beliefs as definitive matter of fact.

Let's not make this thread about criticizing forum policy or moderation. If one has a history of being moderated on Rule 8, it's because they either don't understand what I stated in the previous paragraph or they are simply willfully disregarding the rule.

Rule 8 is subjective.

We are knocking on the door. It may open soon (i.e., in 50 or 100 year). Don't loose heart.

IMHO, if @Power Stone gives a hint, that should not be against rule 8. People have written tomes and tomes of books/messages from God/Allah and given them fancy names (tablets! I thought tablets pertained to medicine or Accadian cuniform records on clay tablets), and people quote them all the time. Fake tablets are sold by crooks as antiquities to gullible people.
