Do you know who you "truly" are?

How so? It was just a switch of semantics? Alleged "debate" parlor tricks usually signalling more of an effort to keep being heard than having really said anything of merit.
Some of the biggest "debaterz" here are really just "baiters", like the way they really had no more motive or interest beyond nose-ringing gina and stinking up her thread?
Yahahahaha!
It's good training. Everybody has to learn not to get tricked into "feeding the troll" by taking the bait....

 

I'm your huckleberry since you have come fishing.
Wasn't just a switch of semantics, it was an examination of them. Did I say something untrue? If not, it could qualify as a good point.

 

Sad for me? What would make you say that? What makes you think I don't have anything to believe in? Are you just fucking with me?

 

I'm happy to hear you believe in something bigger than yourself. For me it is God.

 

That doesn't quite register in my mind .. "big shoes". I have a habit of seeing people as all equals .. none greater or lesser than an other. I take one from among the presumed greatest and one from among the presumed least .. they look the same in my eyes. I admit .. I have my favorites and there are those I have strong dislike. But the ones I strongly dislike are admired and appreciated by somebody, for whatever their worth. And some of my favorites have been ferociously hated by others. It's all one great, big sphere of beingness ..

 

Haha I just said it was you that came a grinning with bait Tom and your tactic is to call me the fisherman! What better could I offer?

 

You could offer an answer to the point or defense of your chalange, ha ha. Whether or not I am a troll in your estimation doesn't address the point of whether it was a good point or not.
So in this case who is the troll?

 

You actually are on ignore and you're staying there. I viewed your first comment in this thread and it was okay .. so I chose to engage you (as I am continuing to do). However...

I recently came across something you said. It confirmed what occurred between yourself and I when we first interacted. I said that you successfully turned the discussion into an argument (which you did), then I stopped participating.

This thread caught my eye. I went to redgingergirl's page and found you.

I didn't start this thread, or any thread, TO ARGUE WITH PEOPLE.

I like harmonious conversations and discussions. I don't like arguing, disharmony and discord.

Done.

 

I thought the thread was about self conciousness and the encouragement toward self actualization? Guess it's just me. What I heard was that maybe you were sad and self comforting by "zeroing out" in G-d ie in the denial of self is relief from the embarassment, confusion and other things like that of being a self. The opium part of G-d to hide in as opposed to the build-you-a-big kite and fly in it part of G-d/being to live in.
I mean ginalee didn't say anything about G-d, but her thread drew spirits upward towards their higher self by it's nature and her intent. I guess we would say "she is strong in the Lord" or "strong in the spirit"? She took em up without firing a shot? You fired a "G-d" shot and it ricochetted? Maybe it was that "must be sad for you" english you tried to put on it that threw off your spin?
This has been a great thread, both in the candid lights and the awkward efforts.

 

NOT INTERESTED in arguing and debating (which is exactly what's happening). I know it's common sport for some people but it isn't for me.

I already clarified in regards to affirmation, where you had it backwards .. not myself.

 

Ahaha! Busted! Ginalee getting the hang of this place...

 

I don't think we are debating anything here.
I think Dope was pointing out that if I'm feeling spurious about my sense of who I truly am, I needn't be...because the here-and-now self and the becoming self are not separable. One will always be inextricably dependent on the other.

If Gina feels anyone is "stinking up her thread" I'm sure she will let them know about it

 

"Individuals with schizophrenia may experience hallucinations (most reported are hearing voices), delusions (often bizarre or persecutory in nature), and disorganized thinking and speech. The latter may range from loss of train of thought, to sentences only loosely connected in meaning, to speech that is not understandable known as word salad in severe cases. ...
Impairment in social cognition is associated with schizophrenia, as are symptoms of paranoia; social isolation commonly occurs. Difficulties in working and long-term memory, attention, executive functioning, and speed of processing also commonly occur. "

Gina, sound like anybody you know ?

 

Big shoes to be happy and touch people positively ALL OF THE TIME.....I try....but have bad days, too...am only human.....any compliment is a big shoe to keep filling. Tell someone they are a great dancer, and then they have that label place to always live up to that....and some days they may fail in the eyes, of others and fall...I don't see it that way....We all stumble and fall sometimes, is all I meant.
Wowee! I had to even explain that one.....Imeant nothing arrogant....ever....I am also very shy believe it or not....and unassuming.....

 

I am not about common sport but personal interest. Self denial is the improper use of denial but if you think that is the way to know yourself, then good luck.

 

I don't care if you ignore me or not. I think you are just about the most delusional person on here. Case in point- in that thread where I first had a conversation of sorts with you, ... I'm not digging through that whole thread but I know that I was simply trying to give you advice on ignoring negativity and seeing what you chose to see in life... because as I explained there, that works for me. I have no clue why you thought I was arguing w you... but to me that shows how delusional you are. Trust me, I am extremely honest... if I have a problem with someone, I will tell them. I would not start an argument and then deny it. I'll tell you right to your face.

Anyways... I have no idea why you are talking about me being on rgg's friends list or what you're on about and I don't care.

And of course you chose to ignore what I said about this thread and chose to bring things back to some other discussion. Typical.

 

Wth am I "busted" for? I don't get it. Girls a nutcase is what she is. And honestly that thread that she posted of where me and her first "talked" should prove it.

 

You're resorting to the bottom of the barrel? The "you're delusional!" last ditch effort? Gina got you good. Ahahaha!

 

I think you have a different idea of what an argument is than most other people here... debating or discussing however.... what other reason to make a thread about a topic then to hear different views and opinions. I get the feeling you post a thread and just want everyone to agree with you and tell you how brilliant you are.
