Re: A List of FAQ that Arise When Pointing Arises.

nicholaspowiull — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:46:35 -0000

There are ones who have heard these pointings for years and even decades. Hearing it for so long, the mind starts to pick up on a pattern and one begins to have an intellectual understanding only. Therefore, I wouldn't say that anyone who can answer nonduality questions knows the direct expereince beyond the intellectual.

The pointing that comes out here is somewhat in a creative way, which means is not something that the mind can pick-up on too easily and have an intellectual understanding.

Whenever there is an going within to answer a question here, I never get an answer unless the ego (which nothing more than thought believing thought) gives me an answer. If you get an intellectual answer when you go within, you can be sure the answer is only the ego. Nonduality questions can not be answered, what one can only do is to give an answer that causes the questioner (the mind/ego/thoughts) to fade.

Th question: "How do I get rid of my ego?", can be pointed out of, in many different ways. I would say that the ego is whatever this is too, so it doesn't have to be gotten rid of. Sometimes thoughts see through themselves or they don't, either way it is the way it is. It is this, as it is; whatever this is.

Yet, depending on the person, where the question derived from, the way it was put, what was said before the question came up, and a variety of other things; would depend on how I would answer the question for the particular body/mind that asked it.

Thank you Rampant, for all your help in spreading the word about these articles. You are greatly appreciated. Thank you as well for taking the time to stop by, comment, and connect! :) *Hugs*

If one knew the answer to your questions, he/she would see non-duality and recognise the absolute truth within. Or if people ask such question to themselves, their consciousness will mingle with the absolute reality, helping them gain insight about their existence. I really like the way you have explained the advaita vedanta in simple words. Of all the questions, the most difficult to answer is "How do I get rid of my ego?"! If one learns the art of practising humility, he starts trading on the path to enlightenment!

Excellent article! Please keep writing more!

The quiz says I am Kudou Himiko! Here the entire prediction goes:

You are inventive, practical, and trustworthy. People know that they can trust you to get a job done, and done well. After all, you can always have fun when you’re finished work, right? However, you do need to loosen up a bit, and keep in better contact with your friends. Try to pass on the grudges, too, because all of your plans for revenge definitely aren’t winning you the popularity contest.

Re: Is Twitter More Social Media or Search? - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

I have voted for the third option that says Twitter is both a social medium and a search engine.

Fail is not the right word to use. Every app in its own way is a success. Success sadly, these days, is measured in monetary terms. If a person has the knowledge to develop an application, he is successful in his own way.There are a lot of factors that would have gone awry. If they concentrated better on strategic planning and developed everything with a good feasibility study, things would have worked better. The usage of the word "Fail" in my opinion, is arrogant.

Take it easy! LOL You seem to be so hot headed! :)) To be honest, I find them bugging too, but it's fun, in a way! Little things like this mean a lot to people! The next time you find a follow friday meme, ignore it! Don't get pissed off! :)

Re: Shane Rounce - new Logo Design for a Happy Micro-Blogging...

rampantheart — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:30:46 -0000

Looks cool! But Can I make a few suggestions? Why don't you replace the background blue with some other color? It doesn't look so enticing! The aqua blue doesn't blend with the blue text. Of course I am not a design geek. I am just offering my opinion from a layman's perspective.

Cheers! Happy designing!

Re: 11 Ways to Lose Friends and Followers Online

Brett Borders — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:55:15 -0000

Rampantheart,

1. No one like a contrarian loudmouth.

2. Being a blogger is a hard job. I am sure struggling to write content and get people to read it - until
I reach the point where people will regularly recommend on my behalf and I don't have to self-promote. For now, I grit my teeth and ask friends to check it out.

3. Yup... one of the downsides when people start to follow thousands is the inability to participate in the conversation :( Like it or not though... social media is gonna get bigger and bigger, and that includes the numbers!

Re: 11 Ways to Lose Friends and Followers Online

rampantheart — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 07:19:19 -0000

Great list! I personally unfollowed some people due to the following reasons:

1. Their views didn't support mine and they were too loud mouthed about it. Like, tweeting about their views all the time. This comes under narcissism I guess.

2. Excessive blog promotion.

3. Not giving a damn about others. I am the kind that loves conversations. I unfollowed people who didn't reply to my tweets continually.

That's about it.

I asked her to send me a screenshot of me as her Desktop Wallpaper. - She told me to add her to MSn and she'd do so.
And no, she's most definitely not getting on my MSN. :) - Don't think my Girlfriend would be best pleased anyway. :P

What was your reply to this? Did you add her on MSN? :D

I personally thought this post was written for me. Hmmm. But I don't know if I can do anything about it.

sbspalding — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:39:52 -0000

That's great. I really think that people just need to look at what they do with new eyes. You wouldn't put as much passion as you do behind it if you didn't believe in it, once you accept that fact the next step is to stick to your guns when it comes to things like price. I'm really happy you liked it.

This post made me grin. I have about 100-200 bookmarks on different browsers and the moment I bookmark an item, I forget about it :P Firefox at least helps me recall my bookmarks but with the other browsers, it's simply a waste of time. I keep bookmarking stuff nonetheless! ;)

I bookmark stuff on the web too and have four accounts. I use Delicious, Mento and Social median mainly for the purpose. Recently, I exported all my bookmarks to Mister Wong with the hope that I would use it profusely but man, it's proven to be yet another waste of time! ;)

Thanks for the article! Loved it.

You probably don't have a clue how much your words have inspired me. I happen to be my worst critic and I knew about my potential to an extent, yes, but this post has made me uber confident. Thanks is all I can say!

I happen to be a bibilophile and a social media enthusiast as well. You are one hundred percent right on the writing part. I haven't tried writing a novel as such but am working on a fantasy fiction novella. I don't care if I complete it or not but am satisfied that I have at least tried! ;)
I liked #24 and #25! :D

Wow! Thanks for the inspiration! Such posts help me fight procrastination to an extent. I am heading straight to my blog admin page to work on a post, if not three! ;)

Amazing concept! This reminds me of famous bloggers who have been using some of the ways you've mentioned!
Btw, I dont think I remember you by any standards. I guess it started with twitter! :)
