We have ideal selves, concepts, mappings, blueprints, memories, dreams.
Regardless of what we 'are, we do not always accept such as our true selves.
The Mind is a Plaything of the Body,
Mind 'is Body, some say.
. . . But we have selves we struggle to retain, attain, return 'to.
We become new people, yet our old selves often stick around, are remembered and ingrained in our instincts, reactions, are the mold that pressed us. And still 'are us.
Penguin Classics Tao Te Ching
Chapter 19
Exterminate the sage, discard the wise,
And the people will benefit a hundredfold;
Exterminate benevolence, discard rectitude,
And the people will again be filial;
Exterminate ingenuity, discard profit,
And there will be no more thieves and bandits.
These three, being false adornments, are not enough
And the people must have something to which they can
attach themselves:
Exhibit the unadorned and embrace the uncarved block.
Have little thought of self and as few desires a
possible.
Holiness,
'Can be bad I suppose, when it is more about letter of the law or appearances perhaps,
There is a koan I remember, about two monks who come across a woman needing help to cross a river.
The first monk says they are forbidden from touching women,
The second monk carries her across the river.
Later as the two monks are walking along the road, the first monk complains about the second monk carrying the woman across the river.
The second monk says "“Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”"
Cleverness,
People 'can overcomplicate situations I suppose. For example being ingenious in avoiding work. Yet they expend more effort in avoiding work and are not the better for it.
Rules,
Abandoning them can be useful, in achieving what matters more to a person.
Berean Standard Bible
And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”
Plots, Schemes, Profit,
I think people 'do emulate and follow what they see in others, especially often they follow higher ranked members of society. Leaders, politicians.
If the top behaves badly, value wealth more than heart, scheme and plot, so will the people, perhaps.
Yes...To quote Icke...People have a tendency to out-sheep sheep when the dog barks.
Happy hands indeed.
Better to recognise, assess from a safe distance and adjust only if necessary.
I'm disappointed but not surprised that Count Binface did not beat Nigel Farage.
. . . Course I don't really know much about either's policies, it just would have been funny.
Don’t know anyone who follows UK politics.
The written word is funny,
It is oneself in a moment of time paused,
A younger self, older thoughts.
And people brush elbows with that younger version of us.
Respond and talk to it,
Yet it is the 'present self, of some 10 or more years later that experiences the sensation of brushing elbows.
Reads like a common observation and not a random thought.
I didn't care for the WoW afterlife.
. . Or perhaps many versions of the afterlife.
It just seems an extension of 'life.
Or in afterlives that last for hundreds, thousands, millions, and infinities of years,
The afterlife would be better called life.
The after life is less productive and should be shorter than the actual life of the individual.
There speaks the voice of authority.
Who told you that?
Was it the Pope?
And there was me thinking that the afterlife would be all relaxation and eternal bliss.
There is less energy left in the afterlife all being spent on achieving one’s goals. The final passage is short and sweet.
The afterlife would be better called life.
Biologic life is higher frequency --shorter wave length-- existence as physical { observed time } reality.
Longer wave/frequency existence as Gravitational ( ) and Dark Energy )( geodesics is were the Universal coding for all that can exist, is stored, and release into the remaining, ultra-long wave photon at the brief Entropic Heat Death of our finite, dynamic, eternally regenerative occupied space Universe.
Naught is lost nor created only transformed, eternally.
I of course dont know the Cosmic Truths in these scenarios, and lack the finances to pay a good graphics person to process some of the potential possibilities of my Cosmic Scenarios regarding Gr ( ) > ^v^v Physical Reality ^v^v < DE )(
Gr and DE are both ultra-high frequency set of events that form the longest wave patterns, even longer than the single long wave/frequency photon --remaining reality-- at Entropic Heat Death of Universe.
I believe there exist internal vertexial events of space and time tori, only that they or not collectively integrated as we observe such at this time of Universe existence. I certainly have issues with how to envision the Entropic Heat Death of Universe, based on various presentations Ive proposed over the years.
Ex on the one hand I say the 2D great circle of particles is a 3D horn torus. Yet all my presented scenarios suggest there is 3D great horn tori even at heat death, yet I also present these high number of much smaller --high frequency set-- of 18/0, that only 3-hexagonal frequency tori, so there is issue there that needs better consideration.
entropic heat death of Universe where green line --should be a black line to better represent ultra-low energy, ergo ultra-long wave/freqrnecy ergo lower energy-- represents the single ultra-long wave photon and all that remains of integral phyiscal reality and closet to an obseved time potential. To be clear, this below graphic was the one time I used MS-Copilot to aid me in creating a graphic based on the words I used to create it. Not quite what I was expecting tho certainly better than any else Ive ever had.
Also, there is new info out about super-glueballs of pure energy via strong sub-nuclear forces { gluons }, that may have been more prevalent in early Universe than the traditional Higgs field that gives mass to Fermionic Matter. I have another thread on this info, or hope to soon have one posted.
Point being, that in the graphic betow the bilateral darker shaded areas, may be more likened to super-glueballs forces of pure energy give mass --as matter-- to themselves and now been detected verified to some 11 sigma by many various combinations and techniques used.
SO nothing after the short sweet passage then.
Might as well die here and be done with it.
Unless you need more time to spend with the 2D circles.
Yes nice pattern.
Hope that you are well Ebuc.
Why do you think he is sick?
Hmmm...By his own admission he isn't in the best of shape and is also medicine reliant.
I think he underwent surgery.
Hope that you are well Ebuc.
Been watching Digging for Britain on Prime vid :--)) O ((--:
Some stuff in Wales.
Yes, Alice Roberts is what we refer to as thinking mans crumpet.
Do you have that expression in the US?
In America crumpets are called muffins.
Yes, Alice Roberts is what we refer to as thinking mans crumpet.
Do you have that expression in the US?
Not that Im aware of. UK, Ireland, Scotland, Wales etc have so many differrent sayings than we do, and vice versa.
Sponge cake in USA is closet thing to a crumpet, from my investigation. I dunno.
Here is link to Antons Pure Energy { superball gluonic sub-nuclear strong force ---i.e. generally only holds quarks together-- } utube. It is the first one I watched on this new 11.5 Sigma verified by a few various sources comparing their data.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JaRoFKxzag
I did watch another persons vid on this, and got into some more nice detail understanding about typical gluons usage to bind two quarks { mesons } and three quarks { proton or neutron }. Again, from what ive been reading now, higgs supllies about 10 or 20 percent of mass in Universe. This superball gluon aggregate would supply much more mass to all Fermionic Matter of Universe.
Cant explain it all clearly as Im still learning about this, amongest other projects, like installing new head lights --lamps in UK I presume-- on my 33 year old pkup truck. Its been my handy man work truck for years, and various projects around the house, now that I stopped that kind of handy man work so it is used for some projects around house, and backup vechicle to my main money source, should my 189,000 mile car need repair, or heaven forbid, die completely on me.
You have a crumbling car problem which is very different from a tasty crumpet.
OK...So in the UK a crumpet would be a bakery item, whereas crumpet is a slang term for sexually attractive women...Thinking mans crumpet refers to clever, attractive, socially prominent women...All very sexist I'm sure.
And a crumpet is nothing like sponge cake, or indeed a muffin...More sort of a leavened pancake baked in a ring mold, allowed to cool and later toasted, often spread with butter and/or a fruit conserve...Research suggests that Warburtons is a brand sometimes sold in the US...If it wasn't for tariffs you could probably afford to try one.
And we have a two year old Suzuki that's done 10,000 miles, has a service plan and 10 years of warranty...I don't get my hands oily...If it breaks down we have break down cover and get a courtesy car.
Though I do like to use buses and trains, especially as now that we are old fogies living in Wales, we have free bus passes, and also UK railcards that afford us concessionary travel.
Oh, and not to mention free healthcare, free prescriptions and subsidised dentistry.
Looks like you are in a good country.
Oh, and not to mention free healthcare, free prescriptions and subsidised dentistry.
Yeah ive heard of that over the years. I also heard, that, the older senors get, the lesser chance of big spending money items.
I totally get that. If over same age { old } and questionable how many more years this person is going to go on living, there comes a place to spend less on them Ex MRI's or maybe other similar type expensive medical care.
Its becomes a balance place of differrent factors, or I presumeh. Here we have medicare once were 65, and there is the option to get insurance advantage plan, --if your also on Socical Security then that pays the montly bill depending on insurance plan chosen-- that, Im told is actually bad for the overall funds being removed from medical stockpile of money. I dunno.
I was also told that once people get on these advantage medicare insurance have have a difficult time gettting off them and back onto just medicare, not advantage plans. Im watching prime vid of Hot Roads and some/many of the ways these people live in these places is so incredibly difficult.
The other one I more recently watching is UK's Super Tunnel under the heart of London. WoW! I think it was supposed to be completed in 2018 or so. Have no info on how well it is functioning. Incredible amounts of accuracy in such a large project blows my mind! If I loose my health, hopefully my step son will keep on his prime and netflix account. Die in chair watching some program. :--) O (--:
Yep, something to be said for not hanging around for too long.
Once you need to be fed, put on the toilet and have your arse wiped like a baby, then that's the time to give up.
Hey, it's ok at the mo...So I'll milk it for as long as I can.
What's Canada like...I guess it's a reasonable place...I ought to visit.
Once you need to be fed, put on the toilet and have your arse wiped like a baby, then that's the time to give up.
I think that is what nursing homes may assist with.My olde1st cousins and husband allowed my mom to move in with them, tho it was 20 years after they first offered her that option.
So wife and I visit mom, cousin and husband, and tell us that cousin has cancer, husband working, and us and family need to get mom out of their house. We were headed south, so I said we could take her back to single wide traile home. They said no, just call my older brother and sister and let them know.
The husband told us, dont put your mom in nursing home. Well my wife didnt want mom in our house, nor in our old house, cause my wife did not have time to deal with mom issues. And we had no money to pay anyone.
So we call brother and sister, and within couple of days, my brother and sister, drive 800 miles to get mom, take back to a nursing home about 3 blocks from his house.
4 months later she was having breathing issues in night in bed --she had emphysema from smoking all of her life-- so ambulance was called by nursing home, then brother and sister go and, I forget how long, but that gave mom all of these IV pain killers, and my sister said mon started shaking, then stopped and dead.
I figure im headed for nursing home someday also. Do they call them nursing homes in UK?
