Dear Poirot,

"everything you've uttered is referenced from and predicated on your human cognition, condition and experience, even as you deny it."

I do have my shortcomings, but I do hope that at least some of what I have written is God-inspired and not human-inspired. At least I am making an effort: I review what I write before posting, and if I find a word, a sentence or a paragraph which seems to have originated in my mind, I delete them.

"It seems you are saying that one can utilise one's human body and brain to act among humans, but "not" as a human - how so?"

A human consists of a body, a brain and a mind. Without the mind you may no longer call it a human. Once the mind is out of the way, it is no longer "me" (the ego, which is a part of the mind) that operate my body and brain. Once the mind stops interfering, my body and brain can then be used directly by God.

"Wouldn't the absence of mind (cognition) reduce one to a vacuous human-shaped entity?"

Your mind believes that it is absolutely necessary, that you cannot survive or function without it, so it screams: "emptiness, vacuum, help!", but in fact you are not your mind, not even your body and brain. You are God.

It is common to believe that losing one's mind is terrible and painful, but that's only because the term "losing one's mind" is usually used misleadingly to refer to brain-damage, not to the loss of mind. Just imagine, no more worries, no more fears, no more anxiety, no more delusions, no more suffering: loss of mind is a grand relief!

Yuyutsu,

I appreciate your sincere replies.

If you believe that it is possible for you to function without using your mind - so be it.

...although...."If I find a word, a sentence or a paragraph which seems to have originated in my mind, I delete them."

If you were to delete everything that originates in your mind, you would never post a word.

The recognition of "inspiration" is a function of mind.

see the key is we often start things
but then never finnish WHAT we started

we capture the moment of glory
with our peers..then when the hard yards..begin
move on to the next social power play..on our path to glory

often via that rightfully gore..[gorey]
oh the glory of gore

we killed the least[the beast]

hated the most..

because thats all we could see
in our blind ibnorances..it truelly was the blind leading the blinder

we all wear blinders
we wernt born that way
we were TAUGHT..it...as true
when patently in hindsight..it was all lies

but even thats just an opinion
[like bum holes..we all got one]

till we fear changing our opinion
then we run away and hide

hum ya chantra folks

me....ohmmm
me....ohhh mmmm

mmmmmeeee

mmmmmmmmeeeeeeee
me me me me

OUG:
<ya just gotta love the reset

I agree OUG, death gets a lot of bad press, but it's great to know there's one thing we can be sure of. A toast to death, the consummation of life.
