You think that you are a deep well of intuitional wisdom-- however, most other people identify your ideas as made up bullshit. They have their own "intuitions" to dwell on, and there's no logical reason for them to believe that your bullshit is more valuable than their own bullshit. That's what you fail to understand-- if you are going to present new ideas, you also need to present reasons for people to accept them. Nobody sees you as a deep well of intuitional wisdom-- and therefore your claim that they should believe you because you are a deep well of intuitional wisdom will be ignored 100% of the time.
If people would consider most of my argument illogical they would come up with a counter argument that would knock down my idea.
I found very very rare that they are able to do so.
Quote:How can you define God when you realize that God is within?If God is found only within, it must be revealed to you through your feelings or through ideas. Your feelings or ideas are truthful AS IDEAS-- but in order to demonstrate that they come from something other than your imagination, you have to show something outside your mind that meets your definition of God.
Quote:It is already difficult to explain the excitement that you feel physically speaking when you are in love with someone so to explain spiritual love is even more difficult.Right. That's because your love is an experience generated by your body and brain. All you can do is hope that if you describe it, other people will recognize their own feelings in your description.
I've had religious experiences, including experiences of/from God-- sometimes in dreams or in meditation on the Bible (not now-- when I was younger). I also had dreams of fucking Angelina Jolie. But just because I had that experience doesn't mean I actually fucked Angelina Jolie. It only means that I have a strong imagination. Don't get me wrong, that dream was a fantastic experience, and has been an important part of my lifetime memories despite not being rooted in any objective reality.
Your intuitions can be a wonderful part of what it is like to be you. But if you want OUR experience of life to be altered by the ideas you present, you need to do a MUCH better job of proving them to have value to the non-Rikettos.
