Don't seek answers

Every analogy fits in some respect and does not fit in some other respects. You have an infallible knack for latching onto an aspect which does not and refusing to engage with the respect which does.

“Every analogy fits in some respect” is just a made up claim.

What I do have an infallible knack for is spotting pretentiousness, dodgy claims and people doubling down on them.

Each analogy only fits in some resüects while it doesn't in others.

That is because it is an anlalogy. If it would fit in all respects it would be the real thing...

I should imagine so. I'm an audiobook consumer these days.

I’m a note taker. So old-school in that respect. 😀

The analogy Moonbus used didn’t fit any of the aspects, but he will appreciate you wading in with moral support I’m sure.

Let those with understanding hear. Just because you don’t find any meaning there doesn’t mean there isn’t any.

Not once have you addressed the substantive issue in this thread. Not once have you addressed my contention that getting answers does not lead to the state of mindful awareness. Not once have you addressed the equivalent claim within a Christian idiom, that knowledge of Scripture and doctrine does not constitute receipt of saving grace. Instead, all you do is quibble, for example about whether an analogy fits.

So here is another analogy for you. People who seek answers are like those who in a restaurant read the menu over and over and never actually eat the meal.

I’ve addressed your silly analogy.

Now you’re just being prickly.
