What happened to him ?

"I am not a complete idiot, but whether from weakness or laziness have no talent for thinking. I know only how to reflect: I am a mirror ... Logic does not exist for me. I float on the waves of art and life and never really know how to distinguish what belongs to the one or the other or what is common to both. Life unfolds for me like a theatre presenting a sequence of somewhat unreal sentiments; while the things of art are real to me and go straight to my heart."

up and thanks again

Let's make it simple... You have got a mantra or a saying that accompany you for years, you want to share it, you share it and that's it.

I'm interested in mantras, or simply sayings, you think useful in you life. I'll start with some unusual ones Fluctuat nec mergitur can be translated as "tossed by the waves but doesn’t sink" Hate toi lentement "Make haste slowly" That one, my carpentry teacher had put it in a wall. Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano Chi va forte va incontro alla morte

Why do so many teachers and gurus die at a young age and/or do not look great?
CloudHands replied to ALA's topic in General Discussion
These guys were/are lineage holders or famous tai chi teachers. Given that those who died early probably died of genetic disease and china was at this time a very rough country to live in... it doesn't sound bad to me. -
I don't think so but thanks ! https://dontwastethecrumbs.com/2013/06/what-is-sourdough-benefits-of-sourdough-bread/

Grains (and vegetables) are I what digest best. I make my own sourdough bread though and I mostly eat rice. There is a real density in these. Otherwise it's meat... but I tolerate it much less so I can't eat it as much. Plus, quality meat is rare and pricey and beyond that all indicate that a large consumption of meat is bad for health. Instead vegetable oils, all good.

Try it

The more I think about it the less I dig in. I tried but no bell is ringing.

Now you crossed the line and that's christical ! Sorry, I had to do that joke... I see. Steve clarified, its a technique. But the technique has some truth to say. Like if some enlightened person tries to offer you a path to share the vision he has/had/has had.

"I" agree with what "you" have expressed. I see in this vision no place for "I" but only "We" or "I" fully understood as a part of the One. In this case responsibility also no more takes the meaning of being "in charge of" but playing the role we are/have. Does that fit the OP ? Words are tricky, writers too sometimes...

You are saying that : we are responsible... for our reaction or for the events themselves we go through ?

I see a mixture of vegetal inspired architecture, futuristic world. I see colorful coldness drawn in 80's numeric approximation. The tune. The synths sound a bit too weird, too tortured to me. Overall I feel it like too synthetic to me. I think Aphex twin said the thing with electronic music is to make something that feels human from electrical devices that are dead and cold. Sounds like a strange future, an interesting experience/experimentation though. My question is, you, what do you want ? express something that's yours or express something in a way people appreciate it ?

I differentiate two things : helpful and true. Thoughts can be used, everyone do it voluntary or not. You can accept an idea as an inner-truth because it helps you making progress or helps you dealing with reality. For the idea to be useful you have to take it as a truth, not a personal inner truth. Just a truth. You also have to be self-coherent with that "truth". So saying I'm responsible of everything I experience, if a truth, applies to everyone. From the crackhead mother's baby to the (let's say) mayor's son... To accept this you have to bring up the karmic rule (justifying unfairness of destinies) and you found out the core of a religion bringing peace to some and acceptation/submission (and there is peace in that too) for others. 8 years ago I discussed the idea of fairness with a spirituality oriented friend of mine. He said "la vie est juste " juste meaning fair as well as tuned. I disagreed but... what we could agree - and my understanding has not changed since - with life is unfair but life rings true. Responsibility relates to means. Means relate to liberty (and power). Liberty relates to a state of mind. A state of mind is "how you handle what you have experienced". So you got a trigger ! In a way considering yourself responsible for everything you experience makes you freer, for real. Is it true ? My answer is no.
