  4. The AWESOME PARAGRAPH! thread.

    From Chang Chung-yuan's Creativity and Taoism, p. 108 The direct opening of one's innermost being takes place in the midst of illogical and uncommon expressions. Such direct way of awakening the new consciusness is far beyond the approach of intellectual analysis. The secret cannot be found in intellectual abstraction and metaphysical subtlety; the truth of Tao really lies in the concrete realities of our daily activities.
  5. If the current software allows it, why not allow it. It is a useful feature. Seems ive always had it. I thought everyone did.

  10. The psychology of conspiracy theories

    Five years ago anyone could go to You Tube and watch LBJ mention unnamed "others" involved with the JFK assassination. Five years ago you could watch 41 telling Betty Ford the only reason anyone believed the Warren commission's finding that a lone deluded gunman was responsible was bc Jerry Ford signed off on it. You could still see the photograph of who was standing at the entrance of the Texas school book depository moments before shots rang out. So disinformation is also used to cover up the crimes that "conspiracy theorists" point to.

    That is half right. It expresses one side of the coin. your commentary. Garry nails it.
  12. The necessity of thought.

    Obviously, trying to use intention to empty the mind is not going to empty the mind.

  15. The necessity of thought.

    I reckon it is attainable, to clear out thoughts. Have you not come close to doing this yourself ? Obviously, only briefly. When I met with marblehead, this was something we talked about briefly. Who did marblehead so often point to here? Arriving at a thoughtless state, one attains a level that zhuangzi understood. So, yes, i think its attainable and extremely rare to do so except for brief moments. Moments of true meditation. Accomplishing it one becomes like a zhaungzi. Very rare, yet it exists; in the way that existence transforms into being.
