The blue angel of enlightenment? Smell the light?

Enlightenment is . . . . nothing more than what it is . . . A Mind Concept . . . mostly missss-interpreted by those who don't know how to sit in a sand pit with a child of 2, and see the magic in that, and in a sunrise . . . or truly taste the freshness of a ripe strawberry without any interpretation of what it is . . . just be in that experience . . .

Do a small bit of research and you will find enlightenment is the place where a person is only just beginning to "See" . . . sort of like the first rung on the fictitious ladder of Awakening . . .

In my person the Dark Side is not anything beyond lack of honesty . . . [the Dark Side IS ALSO A Mind Concept . . . nothing more . . . to the writer that is] . . .

And thank you for your concern for my mental-physical health, one and all, I can assure you when I build [which is constantly happening], houses, . . . I RARELY hit my finger with a hammer . . . once in the last 5 years or so . . . don't do drugs . . . not part of any religion, cult or group, . . . oh yeah . . . am solidly planted on the ground . . . Earth-Capricorn-Ox, Virgo moon . . . Born Hobart Tasmania 9th Jan 1950 7am, for the astrologers amongst you . . .

Enjoy .. . Life goes ON . . .

Damn it! Poor spelling is catching! I better stop beforE I TYPE IN AL CAPS.... DAMN!

"To be honest, I find you evangelical types who come into EH to scold us heathens or to try to get followers really lame"

Co-sign. Not to mention I find your punctuation & random capitalization deplorable. I never thought simple text could feel so much like a bad acid trip.

I don't even know where to begin with you on this one; and I feel like you are way out in left field reading me! If your assessment of my value is in social hierarchy, frequency of visits, dependability to go along with whatever is going on, then yes my dear... I am absolutely worthless .
But then, I consider the described intention of this tribe and what it supposedly stands for as more than valuable, despite it's miserably slow and decidedly backward trend, these days... .

Is simply *Having* the rashness to quickly conjecture assumptively with the tacit tact of a cranky ape at the zoo passing for 'extreme honesty' these days? Honestly, It's just extreme. Might want to drop some of those defenses... evidently they didn't do any good last time you were 'off~ended' {I mean: taken aback by social indignities to the point of going OFF the deep end}. Do the people who believe you must live like them listen long enough to say they are sorry, they will try harder next time to consider how other's feel before telling them they are going to hell without their meddling? Better yet, just stick with that theme, tell everyone to go to hell, with their meddling.
I'm just sorry you missed the point.

Or, To be ''Brutally Honest' {lmao, wth peeps?!} , it just sounds like like a few of you got way too jaded on that last bender... forget that there are many different kinds of people, much? ON THE INTERNET, of all places, no less? What on earth is an 'evengelical type', anyway? I live with a life coach who shares freely the things he has learned {not personal, just technical stuff} and am deeply intrigued with it... what they have termed the Shadow in that field {aka Dark Side} functions as a facet of one's personality! How when something traumatizing occurs in one's life, it's common for one to subconsciously follow in behavioral footsteps of the initiator of the trauma, essentially the Shadow seeks to bring attention to itself and the events that made it by doing them! It's one of the
I made minor mention that I was not addressing carnal nature; indeed, I really just don't care about other's sex lives... we all got one, whatever.
Discerning a difference and describing for others is now scolding??? You really need to take a 2nd look at what I wrote honey, and leave that preconceived idealogical dogma curbed at the corner!

I love wordplay, am merely intrigued by some of the disturbingly subtle religious & moral connotations in our language. If you really want to write it off as threateningly creepy insanity, go ahead... your loss, not mine. I will continue to do as I do and wonder randomly that people can be so trite and miss even the most simple of lighthearted puns. That is my 'cross to bear' as it were, and I'll be damned if I'm going to put it down now ;') Please don't attribute your assumptions onto my personal observations. If you understand punctuation and inflection, it is perfectly legible as I habitually capitalize words within words to denote personal observation.
Don't like it? Read through, and get over it. I too have to struggle through ungodly shitty run~on grammar constantly in 'teh interwebs', just look at Yahoo Groups to see how abysmally far education has sunk in our nation.

Oh yeah~ I am more than aware that being comfortable about who and how I am and that expressing feelings about life, whether dancing, singing or talking, is rarely the positive experience I mistook it for... obviously I am an attention~whore and to be branded & shunned like the contagious plague I must have. Don't worry, you won't catch it since it takes an open ear and an attentive mind to do so!

dude, i've been pondering all day & i'm just not getting anywear.

help me to understand, please!

Thank YOU both for yr comments, and everyone else . . .
I answered the definition somewhere else.
But I would say "The dark Side" is a relative thing depending on where the person viewing the Dark Sides, reference point is . . . some of the religious folks have a notion of SIN . . . that I dont identify with, and so on . . .
Whats yr personal reference point for it in the personal level of who you are . . .! ? ?
Start there . . .
