Hi Andrew,

@Andrew

What exactly is the point you are trying to make here?

The point I’m trying to make is this one:

@claudiu

@Andrew

The objection I had for years about this description was this; how can something “stream” from something that is “stillness “?

This is a really silly objection to have for years! […] It is resolved simply: just experience it for yourself what is being discussed [i.e. pure intent] ! And then you can come up with a better way to describe it with your own words. [emphasis added]

I’ve double-emphasized (both bold & italics) the point so that you will not be able to say you didn’t see it this time around

@Andrew

Do you imagine that I otherwise didn’t see that it was silly not to have just asked Richard what he meant?

What I am pointing to as being silly is not that you didn’t ask Richard what he meant, but that you didn’t go ahead and just experience pure intent for yourself. Then you will know what is being described, and if you still don’t like Richard’s description, you can come up with your own.

@Andrew

Considering that Vineeto has already provided lots of links to descriptions of pure intent , and that I am working through them, I hardly see what it is you are trying to say with “that’s silly “.

Is your intention while “working through them” to use them as pointers and guidance to then experience pure intent for yourself? Or is it to come across or find a description more palatable to your intellect?

If the former then my posting about this has borne fruit! If the latter then this latest repetition is warranted.

@Andrew

Sure, it’s silly. Well spotted.

When I see that something I have been doing is silly, it is wonderful, wondrous and rejoicing news. Because my life just got better, in that moment, by seeing I no longer have to do that silly thing. I often react with laughter and amazement at the silliness. Could I/should I have seen it sooner? Well if I could have I would have. It doesn’t really matter, now – I can’t change the past. But now life will be better going forward.

IOW although feeling hurt or resentful or foolish is a natural reaction, it also is, eh… not sensible, lol. It doesn’t benefit anybody and definitely not yourself either (it just prevents you from acting to improve your life). But it’s up to you.

Cheers,
Claudiu
