Mind/Body God/Universe

Do I see you as you are?

Do you see me as I am?

If all we see of each other is an appearing (clothed in the universe…), what of the rest of what we see that is not attached to any (recognizable) person?

You know when you’re just zoned out and become aware that you are zoned out in the direction of a person and they think you’re looking at them?

Just curious.

Maybe they are zoned out and looking at the same time.

So you do know.

Nope, don’t have a clue.

Not all is what it’s perceived to be.

There was a time when the mundaneness of life struck me. There came a feeling that there was more. I was losing focus on worldly matters and being pulled in the direction of God. Eventually my interest was focused on what God wanted me to know about life, especially my life.

I see the “reality” of the world around me and the extent to which I have to accept it, but I have also been enlightened by God’s words and can now realize that it was He that was waking me up and drawing me.

There surely is a difference between the world and the spirit.

Thought has it’s place in the material world. Yet even there it can harm what nature has taken so long to create. But we all have basic needs to sustain and need to see to them.

Sometimes I wonder if you are capable of taking all the opposing positions without using sock puppets. If not, you must be an objectivist.

Who’s a sock puppet?

I don’t know who @finishedman1 IS, Ichthus. It’s someone else.

I don’t USE sock puppets.

Please don’t start this paranoia trip again, it’s really not fair when I am being open and honest with you.

If I used sock puppets, that would make me a liar.

And I am not a liar.

I wasn’t even talking to you. Paranoid much?

Fair do’s. Made my position clear anyway, so I have that going for me.

Who were you talking to then? Why are you so bloody ambiguous about stuff?

yeah, but you could be lying :wink:

…and maybe there’s a good reason to do that?

If you can’t tell the truth from a lie, then that’s not my problem.

You sound grumpy.

I’m still a bit grumpy about the Daniel Lavender thing, Ichthus. That wasn’t very fair.

Yeah, and that’s my fault? Take it up with them.

… or do I need to take something up with your sisters?

You do that, there is a clear trail in the mycelium to indicate my behaviours. I can produce it at any time.

Yes it is your fault, you dragged me into that shit, and who ended up looking like the bad guy?

As usual.

/rant.

Do whatever seems right to you.

A man who blames a woman for a man’s bad behavior ain’t no man at all.

No, a man who blames a woman for her own bad behaviour is most certainly a man, Ichthus.

He knows there will be repercussions, perhaps even loud ones, but he does it anyway.

If you don’t behave yourself, I’m going to dehydrate the entire world and collapse the continents back in on themselves with my voodoo. Just waiting for the pushpins & foam tac to come in the mail.

^good faith deposit

Looks like you have torn the world asunder.

As long as I have my coffee, I don’t care.

There’s still relationism even at crossroads. What exactly does one want? If it’s where do I go to buy some carrots there’s an answer.

If it’s who am I, where do you go? You can take the nobody knows what’s good way. You only know what’s good for you. All your skill is based on that. Otherwise there’s something wrong with you. Even there it’s a muddle when you question your/other’s objectives. So it gets mixed up, figured out and mixed up again. Where does it lead?

Does it have to lead anywhere? Maybe it’s the urge to know and create a state of permanence that makes people ask lots of questions, and when we quit them, everything will be all right, as it should be. You take what comes, and no questions asked. No one is there to keep a tally. No accounts kept. And what’s wrong with that? Where is a problem there? What happens then would be none of your concern.

… and that’s just one road
