"It seems pretty obvious to me that you consider yourself to be more advanced than I am,
and that you set out to prove it in words, however I don't see it that way. I will leave you to ponder
that for yourself or not, as you like it.....I am
stepping out of this labyrinth of words for now."
I read your posts and if I have anything to say that I feel would bring insight, I say it. I know we are all advanced and no one can be moreso than another. Its just the factor of realizing it. And realizing happens in the moment, and it ebbs and flows. So even things like advanced and unadvanced really are not permanent either.
My tendency is to challenge myself and others. I cannot convey to you how high a regard I hold your ability to know, but I'll try. I don't see us as any different. Nor do I sit contemplating from whence we come in terms of whos more advanced or not. I just see something to say and I say it. For me to attach to what I did would simply be an attachment right there. So its a paradox, that the desire to advance, be advanced, etc actually stifles it. One has no choice be to be humble. And not compete by judging others. I don't judge you. Or think about you beyond this point. I don't even think I could encapsulate you in a definition, nor myself or anyone. We are just exchanging here on what is meaningful to us and seeing how it intersects or if it does. But change will change, so its just a moment of synchronicity. It changes us and then we move on, and on and on.
I know my style rubs people at times (because I often push logic to its limits and then it has nowhere to go). I do it with myself too so people only see I do it to them, haha! If they only knew. And for all of us to have the same style, seems we'd be missing out on the broadness of diverse views and approaches (that challenge). I admire people who have real tact and diplomacy with others and put them at ease, that's important to, to lubricate the cogs of interaction, but also acknowledge its generally not my style, but things could change one day...it could become my style later on, but I'm not worried about it if it does or not. I know all serve the whole rather than the sum of parts being separable.
