"The very search for reality is an illusion, because it is but an escape."

If this is true, there's nothing to find out but why you believe in finding, who or what you believe is doing it, and what it is that has escaped detection for so long.

Who says it escaped detection? Maybe we are herd animals and we don't want to be freaks?

When I was a kid I saw all kinds of things that others did not see, and the response was brutal. If the whole human consciousnesses agrees on what is real, what is acceptable and unacceptable and on and on, then you come and say non of it is real there is something beyond this socially agreed reality what do you think people do with you?

There are no perks for seeing things the way they are, no success no acceptance and certainly no comfort, who the hell wants any of it?

We don't want any of it....there is still one type of a creature that absolutely terrifies me, he wares a tie and carries a brief case and he tells me that I am a liar because reality is only what he says it is....sounds familiar?

Tell us about the things you saw "that others did not see".

I doubt you know anything about "seeing things for what they are". If you weren't full of all the usual crap, you'd see all the usual crap people are full of and you wouldn't last one hour in this crappy forum.

If my mission in life was to explain myself to you I would, but it isn't and I don't owe you any explanation. You are making an assumption her about not seeing the crap that is here, but also see your crap....:) just because one does not react to it the way you do, it does not mean they don't see it. The same goes for seeing, your seeing may not be the only way of seeing...it is not a fixed point. So see through that.

:) nice try....experience of the past is not relevant, it is part of knowing and the past. So telling you about it is nonsense. But just in daily life when you see something that is true and you talk about it with others it is not received well often, so one learns when to speak and when to keep quiet....attacking others that don't want to see their ego in action is not an intelligent decision, one has to wait for an opening, and this opening does not happen under attack.

You are making all kinds of conclusions and assumptions. Too bad you don't see that as clearly as you see my crap or Patricia's. Once you realize they are all the same yours, mine and hers, you may respond differently to it.

IT IS CRAP not mine or yours, but your is just as evident as mine. Both are the things said when intelligence is operating and when it is not....:) :) I am not going to attack you at this moment, I have no need to do so....there is both fear and anger/resentment behind some of your statements. Look at that.

Any reasonable, honest person mind will find no evidence of intelligence anywhere in this forum.

If this is a fact for you? If it is what would be the action born out of this awareness?

I want to find out if K-believers can be awakened to what they're doing. So far, it doesn't look like they can be.

Is this a fact or belief? What would be the action born of this understanding?
