Amazing!
Each man is an island and today i seem to be talking in freaking quotes.
From the ethereal non-reality of southflorida to the down to earth/ostrich approach of Harry Lime and everything in between is just beautiful what a guy can actually "learn" from all this exposure.

yeah...stoners paradise (icmag) drops distinctions all day long :ying:

BTW i totally disagree with your last statement southflorida
"For most folks this is a hard thing to get their head around, but when one does, the human condition is seen for what it is.

survival (physical 1% social 99%) "

Are you really saying that we are stuck on this? Or are you talking about the majority of the Human population? Do we have means/needs to break these concepts?

I'm talking about all of us. You, me, Harry, that dude that was so many stones I forgot, and that pumped iron for so many years, we're all in this together...remember ONE love! :biggrin:

To break free from the self-mind is possible, but it is NOT likely for the majority of folks. And, while the self-mind is in the DRIVER's SEAT, and that's how it is for almost all people on this third rock from the sun, ALL we do is SURVIVE. No exception.

Self = Survival with the whole package (suffering, pain, lies, etc, etc, etc)

No Self = No Suffering, True Freedom

And what do you mean with those 99% social?
Using Harry Lime example, it is a good one, where do my love for growing plants, any plants, and caring for animals, again any animals, goes into?Survival? Social?
And why all my emotional side relating with both these two innocent activities, farming and breeding animals, that the Human race have been doing since ever?

99% social means that as we learned to take care of the physical survival part, we focused the majority of our attention on the SOCIAL survival.

The Social Domain is F*CKING HUGE....DUUUUDE...like totally Narly...know what I'm sayin bud :dance013:

Harry and you and me, we are heavily tilted toward the Social side.

Someone living in the middle of Africa and starves most of the time, obviously is tilted toward the physical survival.

But, this doesn't mean Social Survival isn't important to them folks living in Africa...it just means that food and shelter are VERY important issues, and take up more than our 1%.

what you call your emotional side...IS...the self-mind running you on the treadmill that never shuts-off....NEVER

and this IS your self-mind...in case you're wondering

If you ask your self a question...am I a self...and your answer is YES...your on the treadmill...if the answer is NO...you're on the treadmill.

To step off it takes serious contemplation, and to take back control from your self-mind is not an easy accomplishment.

It is possible...but NOT likely. Just being honest.

That's all well and good but you haven't explained what ya reckon is really going on when I'm only perceiving that I'm watering my girls.

I reckon that there's NOTHING there.

The true nature of reality is infinitely nothing.

Obviously this infinite nothing is NOT what you think it is.

It's outside of your perceptions.

It is the authentic and original place, I guess I can say.

This doesn't mean that this reality doesn't exist at all.

I'm saying it exist as information inside Consciousness, and your awareness is observing it the way you observe a movie on a movie screen and for some moments actually believe that those are real people in the movie and NOT actors.

Except this virtual reality is a high quality production.

What else would you except from Mrs Consciousness and Mr Being?

Extreme views. As ever...probably the blurry grey bit in the middle holds the key.

I had lizard eyes after ingesting liberty caps last weekend...does that make me a banker?

I was born in the Baltic States, grew up in USA, and at 23 came back to the Baltic States and have been living here for the last 19 years.

I have been studying Consciousness for a very long time, 28 years, and the human condition has always fascinated me. Maybe the contrast from the Soviet USSR in comparison to Miami Beach had something to do with it, or maybe the Hazes we smoked with my friends when we were 13...I don't know.

But, what goes on when you water your girls is a virtual reality, like you see on a monitor when looking at War Craft.

You are confused with a "self" that you believe and assume to be YOU.

This character believes it is a human being watering plants in a physical reality.

While, the truth is that it is all happening in your mind.

You are simply aware of a bunch of phenomena (that's unknown) and you are interpreting it using your beliefs and assumptions recorded from the past.

In a nutshell. :tiphat:

So reality is just another dream state?

Thanks for explaining that. I'm glad you've said it's what you 'reckon'.
See, I've met all sorts of folk who believe all sorts of stuff but most insist it's truth rather than just their way of understanding things.

I guess you can put it like that. The only difference between the many dream states we experience and THIS experience on "earth" is the actual RULE SET (physical laws).

All realities are fundamentally virtual realities, simulations, created to evolve Consciousness.

This is accomplished by dividing itself (through distinctions) into a large amounts of individuated Consciousnesses and putting all these "small" pieces in simulated experiences.

War Craft is an excellent example of our "self" living and surviving against the circumstances.

Now please behave!

Now please behave!

I'm assuming the ostrich reference means I'm burying my head in the sand to avoid dealing with something? What's that then? Shape shifting alien lizards controlling Jimmy Savile from their base on the moon? Bloodline bankers?

Nor even for a moment dear Harry Lime!!!
With Ostrich i meant a ferocious father Ostrich protecting the precious eggs. And with eggs i mean your ideas :biggrin:
I just find very interesting you taking the time to bring your input to this thread. After all if this is all bullshit why do you waste your time?

Again i won´t go into reptilian alien J Saville plots because that´s just being childish:blowbubbles:
And please don´t stress over the internet...unless your connection is down and you can´t watch porn!:laughing:
Btw this thread won me a bright red piece of reputation from an upset fellow grower! What a breeze of fresh air...it was all green dots until today, what a blessing that little red dot and sincere message of reprove. Love it!:thank you: You know who you are:huggg:

TRUTH is outside knowing...it is the not-knowing.

The truth can't be known...it is simply what it IS.

We ARE this IS (TRUTH) right now, but we have no way to grasp it with our organs of perception since all perceptions are secondary processes.

This makes it an ALMOST impossible thing to talk about.

But, I love this stuff, so I talk about it anyway :tiphat:

What is IS, florida. So your Talking of gods doing in creating us amongst other things'!!!
Now the talk produced [and followings/influence from that] is from "us"...
Man is the image.
look what talk has made of man..

[And more is selfishly made everyday...]
BUT.You don't know what you are doing so that's that.

Bear this in mind.You blame god for what lots of mankind portray...

The picture is only because of the expression not the name,btw.
yours is hypocrisy.

Thought the constant sun in florida (combined with weed yes/no) would give a similar effect..
but no there must be an alligator in the back yard.

Fascinating Discussion Guys.

For me, as clinical as it seems, and I wish there was 'more,' -- IMHO, we are all animals attaching thought and 'rationality' to a mostly instinctual experience. Our Cats and Great White Sharks have it right, and do not have anxiety, unless physically threatened. Consciousness/Anxiety (not physically related) is what sets us apart as well.

Peace... <---
