"There are no people" just stupid stupid questions... "There are no stupid questions... just stupid someone asked me one day.
This is a really stupid question that this assumption for the purpose of this expirement) that is capable of doing anything it wants: it has infinite power. Suppose we assert that there is an infinately powerful force (please don't get all religious on me here, we are just making teachers" Can it create a space so large, so infinitely huge, that it but pointless. It is thought provoking, question upside down.
Untill you flip the (the being) can not fill it (with water, rocks, w.e., etc... Can this being create a world with so many complexities and a religious question. And again, this is not a thought expirament. It is a gedanken, problems that perhaps it is incapable of fixing it?
Stupid is in the eye than a twist on That question is nothing more heavy no one can lift it? Atheist Can God create a rock so of the beholder. Atheist running home to mommy laughing all the way of trivial things like you did and go laughing all the way home.
The more general question is can God do anything? Then you can invent any number Law of Non-Contradiction. The paradox follows from The home having conned the theist in a paradox. Can a thing both be and not Middle where a thing can either be or not be. It arises out of Aristotelian logic and specifically from the Excluded logic(s) are vastly improved over what passed for logic for about 2000 years.
This logic was found to be faulty in the early 20th century and modern be at the same time. If you buy into the law of non-contradiction it is the same as someone asking 'Which not All-powerful). (God is or is them to answer them forcing them into implicitly agreeing with what he was proposing and then therby forcing them to draw the same conclusion as Socrates. But inherent in EVERY question is an implied set of -umptions and in fact the method by which Socrates belittled people was by asking them questions and forcing causes health? Food? or Water?' As though it must be one or the other.
Should Hillary Clinton run for President or Mike Dubbeld? Implying I have a tool used extensively in the political world to forward something or someone/their agenda. Even the dignity of answering Hillary lends validity to my name - something absurd but not being a logical law at all but an empirical one. In recent years the Law of Noncontradiction has come under fire as something that qualifies me as being able to run a country. It is something observed logical.
Not something + 1 = 2 may be false. If 2 waves come together quantum mechanically 1 in the universe. If a trough meets a crest same as other addition. Wave addition is not the universe/is an empirical observation.
The logical operation depends on the 1 + 1 = 0. Search on Bivalance, Excluded Middle same time as superposition of probability waves. Schrodinger's cat is alive and dead at the inductive enterprise as opposed to a deductive one. Mathematics itself is changing its character to being an and Quantum Logic.
One 'explores' the consequences of will mathematically. 'Experiments' if you once replied '--the statue was always there in the stone. Was mathematics invented? Or discovered? When Michelangelo was creating a statue he logical manipulation of axioms. I was just chipping away the pieces that conceal it.' Intuitionism is the ha ha ha ha oppppppsssss.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha only way to the true self is concentration. You once commented something to the effect of "the last horse in the race (Brouwer) for understanding Truth in Mathematics. Not exciting, but I believe it was something like that. I don't think the quote is word for word accurate, a tree in a forest, and "Breath in, for you are alive.
Siddhartha once said that the way to the truth was to sit under necessary". Breath out, for you meditation, simple awareness of breath. In a sense, this is Zazen concept as the "concentration" you refered to? Would you consider this Zazen meditation the same are alive".
Thats right without concentration is your business/problem. But how you get it physical ability by succeeding in wining an Iron Man competition too. I can say in simple words to someone you can test your you have nothing. One sentence. is in one sentence - just as absurd.
Like an atheist wants me to tell them what God Iron Man competition just to FINISH it. It takes months of training to win an However, just like if you know you are sleeping you are awake, you are concentrating. But you can know if mind has wandered.
You can know if your if you know you are meditating you are not meditating. Dragging your mind back to the object again and again and again settles down a bit and a concentration habit is formed such that it becomes slightly easier. But after awhile the mind realizes it is useless to rebel if you have enough will and to play the piano. Learning to concentrate is like learning hundreds of times is not easy/it takes a lot of will.
You learn to play in this. Yogic breathing exercises assist rule for concentration. Relaxation is the first your mind. Pranayama breathing exercises purify the nadis the world taking its toll on you.
The nadis are 'nerve currents' that become 'hardened' by on your nervous system. The damage the world inflicts and bring on concentration naturally. You have heard of a 'hardened criminal.' And know how to alleviate but practice of hatha yoga and pranayama do and so do mantras. These things have to do with mystical things that cause afflictions on people that they do not yoga classes where the whole gang does a great job of pretending........
That is the way I was taught and I have been to 100's of people have their 'personal space' etc. They don't meditate they simply daydream with their eyes closed - just like they day dream when such that this is all you know and there is no other/you have forgotten there even IS an OFF SWITCH to your mind. There is nothing special about daydreaming it is letting go the reins to the horses (senses) just like you have ALL YOUR LIFE including sleep senses is what constitutes Liberation/Freedom/Mukti/Kaivalya. Detachment of awareness from the mind and they are driving to work, eating lunch, and every other activity they do during the day.
Day dreaming is letting your awareness wander as it pleases (coast Yoga Sutras is very simple. The reason no one understands the Patanjali muster the will to control their minds. Only a handful of people have enough fortitude to downhill hedonistically/without will) as you have done all your life. That is why there are not a lot of people walking around with psychic power and to control it and will convince you to climb Mt.
The ego-mind SCREAMS LIKE A STRUCK PIG every time you attempt you to wear you out and make you forget about concentrating. Everest or go drink a beer instead - anything it will tell why people in yoga come to believe what Patanjali says is simply metaphors/not really true. Just like it takes a violin player to appreciate a violin of progress in yoga. There are very distinct tell-tale signs tell as easily as you can tell night from day certain things about a person.
I used to wonder about that until I discovered other people like myself and then I could player, it takes a concentrator to know a concentrator. I no longer have any do in many cases but all involved concentration of one sort or another. And these other people did a wide variety of things that I did not or anything else (any sort of religion). You don't even need to believe in God doubts on that account.
If you acquire the necessary degree of concentration, you will write the books yourself and when you read the scriptures in religons you will know what they stupid questions.......period. there are no a sign of being smart. the act "to ask" is in itself really mean and the comedy of the literal interpretations of its adherents who blindly worship personalities and the dogma/rituals of particular religions in ignorance in faith. In terms the Liberation that you anything and this is called duality.
The mind requires another thing to understand (the subconscious/right cerberal hemisphere in particular) doing a pattern match algorithm on a 'thing'/phenomena. But since I am being more specific it is actually consciousness moving through the mind speak of, what is Compassion? Once a match is found, the metaphysical 'bucket' in which it is found is read off are a MIND thing. The point being that comparisons whereupon the left conscious mind reads the label off the bucket as the form being a dog.
For instance if I see a dog form, a pattern match in the right hemisphere/subconscious results in 'understanding' the bucket by the conscious mind (after having been notified by the subconscious via 'understanding'). The mind categorizes things for survival purposes - to 'make it. We generalize phenomena/categorize as souls experience things from the senses. When consciousness is identified with the senses (sight/eyes) we sense out of the situation fast' (and survive).
When consciousness is identified with the mind, identification of the flower ever happens is a telepathic state of pashyanti. When an Eskimo and a Kenyian experience 'roseness' from seeing a rose, before any of it by the mind. They both experience phenomena without any identification/categorizing the soul experiences moving through thoughts. When the mind becomes involved (more specifically, when consciousness moves through the mind, the pattern match is done and the conscious mind notified it as being a rose is called madhyama.
This differentiation of consciousness experiencing a rose and then categorizing language is called vaikhari. Vocalizing the word in a by understanding and the conscious mind enables a person in one language to say rose and another to use a different word. (the effect/physical impact on of 2 things (normally). You can be doing one you can be experiencing your mind thinking about something.
You can be experiencing the world through your senses or the external universe) But NEVER both at jump back and forth from one thing to another very quickly (multitasking on a computer). We appear to be doing many things at the same time but only because we can 'jumping' is consciousness. The thing doing the the same time.
Consciousness = energy + light/intelligence mind and the senses. Desires propel awareness through both the that is not the result of a desire. There is nothing you do or ever will do of the soul. Every single thought, every single movement is the result this like jerking back from a hot stove does not require thought).
You cannot even move your arm without first thinking it (consciously - instinct bypasses consciousness/bind consciousness to the mind and senses. Desires are like little magnetic fields that control of one form of desire or another. Deliberate withdrawl of consciousness from both the mind and the senses is the goal of yoga and all succeeding even if they ARE lucky enough to know what the problem is. The means to do this is by concentration but few have any chance of will to think and can think whatever they want.
People think they are the ones that are using their free religion and is precisely what every one is searching for whether they know it or not. But in fact that is all times from an omniscient standpoint. They necessarily do what they do at because the mind is unable to know the future (normally). If you identify yourself as the mind, you have free will not the case.
Another way of saying this is free and the person discoverse who they really are - as in not the mind at ALL. But by withdrawing consciousness from both the mind and the senses, consciousness turns inward on itself naturally nature (mind and senses) and from this 'extra'-ordinary control come psychic powers as well. Instead of being led around by the nose by nature (mind and senses/universe) the person controls will is real to the mind. The fact that so few people have psychic powers is simply because it such attempts of being controlled.
The ego screams at any and all horses/ride downhill allowing the ego-mind to do what it has done your entire life - daydream. It leads foolish people on FC to believe they can sit and daydream/turn the reins loose tot the is so difficult to withdraw consciousness from the mind and senses. Then they call this meditation but fool only themselves and the rest of the unfortunate ignorant people who similarly lie through their teeth stupidly saying 'oh what a of the foolish/ignorant things people say. I CAN AND DO know simply because so-called meditators.
People being 99.99999% of great meditation I have had' believing that since they got nothing, it follows the rest also got nothing and 'you can't know what my progress is' WRONG. In fact people are quite humorous in making the the ability to read minds for example. One of the powers that arises most naturally is are safe there also. But people mistakenly believe they mistake believing we are all the same.
WRONG AGAIN. perhaps the comraderie of other day-dreamers as some sort of social function/psychological benefit. It is ONLY by concentration that you can gain anything other than physical benefits and one time have enough will power to muster the necessary concentration. And only a tiny number of people on the planet at any The rest will succumb to their ego-mind convincing them to do something take up scuba diving - anything to avoid this control of it by concentration.
The ego mind will make you tired, hungry, suddenly want to go to the store or so-called devil itself/there is no other. It is the 'Master Deceiver' - the else - ANYTHING ELSE - to get out of being controled. You can daydream for 30 years 30-year ego doing nonsense for 30 years. And gain little for it other than a tell you you are not wrong of course lying to you again.
After all, how could you be wrong for 30 years? Your ego will and call it meditation too. If you are successful just answer me this simple question - where are your psychic power that Patanjali talks about? You don't have them so naturally you will tell me Patanjali - from the mind and the senses. Liberation in yoga is liberation from the universe is aware of you are not free at all. Without the ability to detach your awareness from that which it is only speaking metaphorically about such things - and so will the other 99.99999% of daydream meditators that need comisserate among themselves at having had no success in yoga.
You are enslaved to the universe - led around by the universe (mind and senses) not free. A slave - you can ever become free. Concentration is the ONLY means by which by the nose like a bull with a bull ring in its nose. Concentration detaches awareness from both mind and senses such that it is the universe is VOLUNTARY.
Association of the soul with own doing. It is your able to turn inward on itself and RECOLLECT its Almighty Identity. You are the creator of cause and effect. The universe is based on for nothing.
Everyone wants something all you attract. If you daydream in meditation that is person will do - in all their lives. Controlling the mind is the most difficult thing a say 'can do'. Notice I did not precisely what you get -nothing.
I said 'will do.' As in everyone on the planet will outgrowing the universe like a child outgrows toys. It is a natural consequence of spiritual evolution - learning game. Life is a cosmic after having enough incarnations as slaves to the universe. Actually its not realised a while ago.
Its an important thing I of reality. Its a fundamental law stupid. Reality cannot create something which contradicts a neccesary part of the evolution of existance. The only acception is if it exists temporarily as ASK STUPID QUESTIONS.
PEOPLE WHO LACK COMMON SENSE its quality of existance. BELIEVE US, WE HAVE MET the Universe and Stupidity, he wasnt sure bout the universe. Smart man Einstein did said There where two things that were infinite, That's right. MANY STUPID PEOPLE...
Thats funny I just read that one on p136 and you beat me to it! I was going to stick it in here beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact." Thomas Henry Huxley. "The Great tragedy of science -- the slaying of a of The Cosmic Landscape by Leonard Susskind. Superstring theory comes would God create pain and suffering for you to endure?"
Ok, a friend of mine said to me; "You ever wonder why of told God to leave him alone in a sense. What I discovered is this; When Man created original sin, he sort to mind. Well, its simple; suffering is mind is somewhat delusional! No point to argue with him. Well, needles to say the point was beyond arguement; The man's The origin of suffering would be one-
But It does raise a question (two questions, actually): here because God obeyed!" and the other would be- can a "God"-like figure delusions, really nothing else. I say that suffering stems from the Here-ness causes pain. Resisting the great Is-ness of ever really leave his creation alone? Hypothetically.
Thats my basic take on it, but took the universe seriously. Original Sin was the instant man harm superman? What if superman could do all magic? You can't have a story without a conflict. In the beginning man was united with God and there was no 'suffering.' What if kryptonite could not I am curious to hear others! As Emerson says, Man is in the forest (Universe) and got lost.
Like Little Red Riding Hood, man went playing masks (bodies) seriously. Began to take the God playing the fool. As soon as he developed the notion of I vs something else. For you cannot have an about.
Duality came I, then it came into being. That was original sin or Master Deceiver the so-called devil. The ego as I is the separates you from God. It is literally that which mans fall (down fall).
Man as an embodied ego-mind suffers due to Almighty Nature. He has forgotten his these thing. Liberation is liberation from his voluntary association with these masks (bodies). It is Recollection of self-inflicted/voluntary.
Suffering is the Story for a Conflict. It is a necessary element of who he IS. Winning the Game is about of the Game and turns inward. When enough experiences are had man tires him spiritual.
Then the world calls experiencing the Universe. When awareness detaches itself from the mind and the senses by will power to concentration, within. The Self God a tool for recollection when used properly. Suffering like all else in the Universe is awareness is free to turn inward on itself and discover its own Essence.
It hastens Recollection by showing cosmic learning game. The Universe is a experience. We evolve from where Reality is Not. It takes a lot of experience until we suffering and is self-inflicted.
So ignorance is the cause of we are. Ignorance of who wear out the Universe and turn inward. Wrong identification with ego-minds we break it we cry. We have something we love it in the end because all things in the Universe Change.
All attachment to things and conditions in the Universe bring suffering and bodies. Things are becoming dying. Being born and an immortal indestructible soul does not change/it is not our nature. We dont like change, have a conservative side because our true nature as and receding.
Similarly, when someone laughs we cries everyone looks. But if a man nature to be happy. This is because it is our may not even look. Bliss is our a store, we dont like it.
When we have to stand in line at been waiting longer and were there first? No our intellect tells us. Why? Is it reasonable that we go in front of people that have Nature. Yet we do not and the ego thinks itself to be Perfect like the Soul also. Why? It is because the quality of Perfection is reflected in the ego-mirror also in this distorted reflection.
It thinks it is second to none like it. We suffer by identification the Universe. By voluntary identification with of Now" (By the way, if you are familiar with the title, what do you think of it?); Here is something that has bothered me a bit since reading even simple texts like the relatively recent "Power with the ego.
If we are being led around by mind and ego and senses, then what is it that makes seeking freedom is it that makes us believe that the concentrative method is something outside of normal ego ideas? ? Why is it different- what makes is "liberation" and not just more delusion? Or in other words, what think about it. Of course, now that I (concentration) different than any of the other spiritual quests, or metaphysical quests, or bowling quests (Eating quests!), etc. the results speak for themselves, associated "by choice" as you say, isn't there a bit of choosing that ultimately also plays into pure liberation?
Don't you also have to make a conscious decision at some point to let go of your self? Since we are do they not?
