       Fan a tics
   DIR By: rgardner

       I'd like to start a new thread on a subject I believe will
       threaten our comfort.
       Fantatics!
       I offer a cute quote: "A fan is only "a tic" from fanatic".
       Do you realize that a patriot is a fanatic?  (Recent events in
       the US exhibit this fanaticism - kneeling for our song)
       Have you noticed that sports fans are fanatics?
       Fashion is run and pushed by fanatics.
       I just want to identify and out the fanaticism in the world.
       Almost forgot religion and politics.
       It's hard to get your hands around all the belief systems that
       bleed into every human, but I'd like to identify any beliefs
       that produce discordant humans.

       Not all of us identified and shred belief by belief.
       When my liberation from BS happened, it was full slate.  So,
       personally I was not aware of the individual beliefs that
       defined the former me.
       Afterward, didn't have the slightest care (here we go again with
       the care crap ::)) for anything or anyone.
       It's only been lately that I have begun to delve into how humans
       got into the current state of society (which I find deplorable
       and grossly flawed).
       Fanaticism is an extreme form of care that divides humans, and I
       see it as the culprit that has produced your current state.
       So, I'm compiling and trying to identify beliefs that can lead
       to fanaticism.  Just want to understand.
       Maybe nothing to encapsulate.  But, as the alien that I am,
       always looking for new ways to penetrate human's and their
       psyche,

       @Nessa-
       Your assessment aligns with mine.
       As far as bliss, I've already pointed out that bliss is a memory
       from a 36 year old experience.
       Content is the most accurate description of my present.   8)
       But, I do wonder what a world of awakened humans would be like.

       Can't go there.
       I flamed on someone during a tequila sunrise, and Jed banned me.
       Would like to get into their IGF banter again, but I am cursed.
       Oh, well....
       Who cares ???

       BTW,
       In my mind, evil is not a given.  It is developed.
       Just my opinion, as incredible as it may be. :D

       Jed does not see it. Steve does not see it. But to break truly

       CLEAR on the provenance of own path and what exactly pushed one

       This is also my experience, except for your calling out of the
       bliss ninnies, I never talk about being in bliss, nothing in my
       daily experience feels like bliss, not even remotely and while I
       remember bliss from G/C moments, those moments seem as foreign
       as another existence.
       What is experienced here is Equanimity, everything feels the
       same, kinda boring actually if it all wasn't so beautiful, the
       problem is contrast, I have none, nothing feels better or worse
       than another thing, for example, I just watched my girlfriend
       move us to 3 different hotel rooms to get the one that felt
       right to her, I was fine in any one of them, all gave sensory
       experience and that's all I need, no matter the type of
       experience. I don't expect anyone to understand this, I wouldn't
       have before the shift either.

       Not sure what the conversation is here. I'm having less and less
       fun chopping the verbiage these days. Besides I've never really
       deciphered anything useful from asking why people are the way
       they are. The only obvious answer to that is, because. ::)
       As it pertains to "bliss" just another word.
       When one finds what the word is pointing to they may just find
       themselves"playing sports" or "being a politician" or...posting
       at platos, whatever. In that place of being in total alignment
       with self the preferences are the only thing. None of you are an
       exception. What I see is what I prefer. What I prefer is what I
       see. Every time. Obviously. This rings true even in a particular
       brand of doing "not doing." Even if the awareness isn't quite
       there. From here I'm exactly where I want to be, doing exactly
       what i want to do and experiencing exactly what I want to
       experience.
       Are you totally tuned into that or not. Is it a problem? Are
       there some sort of judgement on you or the rest of society for
       simply being? Are you doing methods of autolysis because you've
       created a perception of an imperfect thing? An imperfect world?
       Is the problem"out there" That's what needs to be seen through.
       That's the lie.
       Here theres no questions about why things are the way they are.
       Whether how I am is acceptable to the rest of the world or if
       the rest of the world meets my approval. This thing does what it
       does until it doesn't. I'm totally on board with that. Call it
       bliss if you must.

       Every one is searching for something. The conundrum is that it's
       so close that most people miss it.

       Justin,
       Not searching for anything.  I think Steve and I are at similar
       states.
       @Steve
       Do you still feel competitive?  I don't.  Just enjoy each swing
       (tennis), ..care not about score.  How
       'bout your golf?

       Hmm. "Not searching for anything" followed by a question.
       It's a strange mechanism. Keeps on doing its thing even when I'm
       convinced it's not.
       I just breathe it in and out.
