Philosophy For Us Dummies

this is for arc…

ah, it is just so difficult to put it into words…

when did you start having trouble with words?
i hadnt noticed…

do you think eyesinthedark is watching…

Well, I certainly hope so; that is, if those eyes are the stars which peer down at us. Could we but be watched by anything else as beautiful? I ask you, can we?

You need to watch eyesinthedark if he is watching…I could only be presuming…and would I even care? Well, that might depend on who eyesinthedark is - really, he can be anyone else in here…no?

why are you being so cautious???

Where do you see me as being cautious? And why are you so cautious, little reptile?

I am finding that trying to find and keep equilibrium causes harmony - or is the trying losing it?

you are not telling what you hear under the leaves…
you have some secret that you hide and you know its there…

:laughing: First I need to know what leaves…where are they, little reptile?

the leaves that i was hiding under, remember…i was afraid of all the awful people out there…

i want to recycle this for the dummies…

Let’s not forget, little reptile, that we can only hide under those leaves for a time. Security is false. Probably the only safest way to be is to know that there is no such thing as security and learn to live from that. Everything changes, everything dissolves, fades away, though it will return again…and leave again. You need to take care that when those leaves fall away from their branches, you see it happening and act accordingly. Hiding under those leaves can be fun but it’s equally as much fun seeing them from the outside. Seeing them from the outside, as in sitting on a park bench, can also teach us that anything can teach us. Bushes are lower than the trees and the sky but they also serve a purpose. What appears to be lower than something else is just as important and has its own place in nature as what appears to be higher. Everything has its place in nature. :laughing:

Why would dummies want a teacher?

you could join us dummies…actually we are the wise, experienced, intelligent ones who are undercover…

In answer to WW_III_ANGRY

to be made real? :laughing:

why dont you say what you are thinking…

Its ok nobody will ever “get me” anyways. I’m sure I don’t need anymore “cover” aside from this mysterious shroud around me that blinds them to my inner being, (as such is the case for everyone). Yes?

I did - I responded to Angry’s question - why would dummies want a teacher? To be made real.
No matter how intelligent dummies think they are, they can always be made more ‘real’, little reptile.
We can ALL be made more real, little reptile, through relationship and communication.

It must be very lonely in there at times, no?
Such is NOT the case for everyone - only those who choose to hide that inner being.
We are not meant to show all of our inner being and everyone our inner being - nor are we meant to show none of it to no one.
I personally feel that it cries out to be discovered - but as it is to be valued, not to be shown or discovered to all/by all.

Oh I could never do that. Thar be monsters down there. Lonely - yup. You got it.

the dummies agree with ANGRY—there are monsters that will destroy your life and you know it ARC…

another dummy thing------i have severe problems with depression and see a psychoanalyst frequently…
if i say the judeo-christian god doesnt eist in my mind does that mean im crazy/depressed/melancholic/demented/schizophrenic with a personality disorder…
