    Constant motion is an absolute. Statement is self contradictory.

    Look if you can't control your emotions perhaps you should professional help.

    God exists. Study the atmosphere

    You took this as a personal attack? And also an attempt to discredit your argumentation? You really don't know what ad hominems are do you ?

    This may be a little too advanced for some here.

    I was making a joke. Actually my description is firm as can be and it accounts for every invocation, god is that which we invoke. Our invocation is what we cite as authority. It doesn't fly out of your fingers but emerges from internal vibration to voice.

    On matter resulting in the matter or being one in the same. We do not create ourselves. We ourselves create as we are created. We inherit our position and expand upon it. Everything transpires through relationship.

    That was my explanation of the comment uneducated. I didn't mean to speak for him but to you. It is not a lack of education but lack of desire to be informed. It just seems like too much effort for you. I included your first comment here as demonstration that you misconstrue what you read.

    The onus is on you to provide evidence for your assertion. What about the atmosphere supports your conclusion?

    This is called baiting for an argument. He already stated his position and perhaps he deserves the same grace you demand which is to post at his leisure.

    To Mr. Writer: It's better to be kind than right in the sense that we value the person more than whether we agree or disagree with what they believe. Jesus also said that if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out. That would be similar to some of the zen koans you mentioned.

    Regarding non-retaliation. This is mainly to be practiced in relations with people. There's no need to push it to extremes.

    Just what I said. and from our continuing conversation it comes out that he really didn't know what he was saying nor was he being succinct in his description.

    How is it a throw away to know anything? Your comment that it is a waste of time is a waste to those who want to know.

    How are conditions created? It is not a matter of non-retaliation it is a matter of not seeing anything to retaliate against. There must be a verdict against to inspire the idea of retaliation.

    There are many but i will throw one off the top of my head. The sun is 93,000,000 miles away and it caresses my skin ever so softly instead of scorching it. Thank you atmosphere. Thank you God.

    Means only you are grateful for the condition you find yourself in.

    To thedope: I guess the purpose of retaliation would be for self protection. But the self that needs protection isn't the true self. So drop the false self and it automatically results in non-retaliation.
