RE: The problem with solving
knowledge is only useful when we don't believe it
if we do, we start reacting to assumption rather than reality
I often find imagination and sci-fi more real than "reality".
Thoughts become reality. since imagination is made up of thoughts, we definetly without a doubt cannot consider it an assumption.
that sounds like a matter of timing :)
which thoughts become reality ?
all of them?
some of them?
When we are with them, how sensitive are we to our surroundings?
Are we still listening and feeling those around us?
are we in relationship with our imagination or with reality?
of course it is fun to be in our imagination, but if we believe it is more valid than our senses, then how graceful will our actions be?
there are times when scarcity is real, when only one can feed
most conflict though arises from alternate views of the same reality
when all parties could actually meet in the realm of their senses.
rigid belief comes at the cost of reality, or it would not even exist.
flexible belief is updatable and fluid, this is what science is supposed to be, until we take it personally, start using it to add value to ourselves - that always leads to control and fear, from what I have experienced so far anyhow..
your comments are always insightful, thank you
isn't flexibility itself a form of "rigid belief'?
.
It could be made into one, but then it would not be flexible anymore.
When we take concepts personally, when we associate our own value as a tribal member to the holding of the knowledge - thats when we have trouble up-dating or releasing.
that is when we take concept and make it an opinion.
A pinion, like a wheel - is a point of leverage, for applying force.
for altering the flow of events
that is control
The cheetah and the antelope both give and take from their environment, but neither, significantly alters the flow of resources in their environment by introducing rigid structures - either mental or physical.
The Beaver would be an interesting animal to study lol..
(certainly many men become obsessed with it ha ha)
Unfortunately, this is exactly what humans do.
Yes but we do experience the consequences of that, in a way nature is perfectly consistent. It bounces back everything - it is up to us to remain sensitive to the feedback and learn grace.
I have not been able to demonstrate that state consistently, so am not qualified to state that as fact. I only have glimpses of peace and something greater than "enough-ness".
