In a word: sophistry. Especially HERE in a forum ostensibly for spiritual seekers it is particularly irritating. But perhaps even more ironically, it is extremely depolarizing, and a disservice to everybody else trying to have a real discussion.
Of course, according to the mystical magical mirror of subjectivity, it is apparently you and I mucking everything up with our annoying quotes, logical thinking, and thirst for truth. It is you and I who are too stupid or imperceptive to see the "real" truth that the whole of enlightenment and spiritual growth can be summed up in a turd. Because a turd is just a symbol for the universe. And whether or not a turd stinks is purely the result of our believing that it carries the property of "stinkiness". And only if we can learn to love and accept the turd, we would allow it to take up residence in our home. Then when our friends and family come to visit, and are appalled at the resident stinkiness of the turd, we shall use it as an opportunity to chastise them for being judgmental, and then turn it to the positive by explaining to them how a turd is simply a metaphor for greater reality, and invite them to step into the grand mystery of the turd with us, together as one. Next, we shall cover the turd in whipped cream and sprinkles, and put a cherry on top, and we shall officially declare that in our reality there is no such thing as "stinkiness". Then we shall channel the turd, meticulously transcribing its every word, while simultaneously declaring that the turd's words are inherently meaningless, and beyond our comprehension. Therefore, we will conclude that the only thing the turd could have possibly had to say to us is to "Seize the Day!", "Love One Another!", "Do Your Best!", and just keep practicing our meditation. Because one day all that meditation is going to pay off when we finally open ourselves up to even grander levels of confusion and meaningless existence. And then we will understand the ULTIMATE TRUTH: There is no turd.
Thanks, everybody, for coming out this evening. I hope you've enjoyed the show. Have a wonderful night, and keep safe out there! *curtain falls and crickets are chirping in the background*
