Unfeeling

[sylverone]

asking questions of other enlightened ones seems to me to be a logical step in the right direction.

Be aware I aspire to enlightenment but don't think I should be described as an enlighted one. Others here may well be.

You are enlightened inasmuch as anyone sees the Light in you. Perhaps the words "enlightening ones" might have better suited the intended meaning? I'm babbling, but I suspect that to one who is enlightened, all will appear enlightened. One whose light shines freely will finally see that all light shines freely.


I do not know if this is of value to you, Peregrinus, but I looked up the etymology of the word compassion. It comes from a form of the word compani (Greek I think?), meaning "to pity"; com-, meaning "together", and pani, meaning "to suffer". "To suffer together"...

Again, note to self: kick higher self's a$$ when on metaphysical plane.

Do you feel anger or frustration about the situation, as this might imply, or this also a "logical" thing to say? Are there any things which might be described as "emotions", which you do feel? And, out of pure curiosity; can you attempt to describe how the feeling of love manifests within you?

A while back I saw an episode of Star Treck in which Data and Spock both noted that the other had posessed by his very nature the qualities that the other had been seeking all of his respective life. Data sought to be more human, and Spock desired to be purely logical, the vulcan ideal.
