Well this sheds some light on one of the problems I'm having in my life. I actually am having great orgasms, it's just that I'm having them on the internet without knowing it.

Are you serious?

I don't think it's about unlearning anything, at least on purpose, and you can't know too much (though you can know too much for your own good). We can be too deep within the rational mind and not expansive enough intuitively....or the opposite for that matter. If you feel like you're too locked into rational thinking, there are ways to blow that paradigm out of the water.

Bring it on. I'd like to blow it out of the water indeed.

The problem out here in the woo-hoo exchange is usually more about having a lack of some kind of rational framework for an overload of intuition. I think that's what you're feeling in your disattachment to the meditators. It's all about balance.

I once told a friend that I thought intuition trumps intellect...and he shot back with "yeah, perfect intution".

The first statement is exactly what I refer to, but the second I don't get.

People who are truly advanced share their amazing stories in appropriate ways. They don't force them on other people at dinner parties, or tell them to those who would misuse the information, but they don't keep it to themselves either. I don't care how expansive someone thinks their vision is, all I can see around here is the blind leading the blind. Nobody's that much more special than anyone else.

Well said.

It is all energy...but that statement has to be the classic metaphysical conversation closer. It's a huge subject, really the only subject that matters to me, because all we can take out of here is the experience of the energy we've encountered. How is this energy created? How does one shape it and project it? How do we store it, give it away, take it in? What makes some energy good, other energy bad? How do we keep ourselves from being controlled or absorbed by by external forces? What happens when we replace the word "energy" with consciousness in all those questions? Does consciousness precede manifestation? If it does a lot of Darwinists are going to be disappointed.

Another set of excellent questions.
