The origin of mankind

[Junko]

Now I really understand that all the avataric people on this planet want to tell us it's about the time.

As daoist you have to understand this concept.

My only problem with understanding this concept is that I have no idea what you are talking about.

[Junko]

You are just telling me this. I only answer if you are questioning this to me.

[Apech]

I am questioning.

[Nungali]

I'm afraid I would have to shoot my instructor.

 

I didnt know a gun in a helicopter could face inside to shoot people in there ?  

[Nungali]

Clouds in Australia.....are really like cariflower. Clouds here in Switzerland look like cream.

 

Thats because you are at a much higher altitude. Cariflower  ( I just love  your accent     )  does not grow at such high altidudes. Also I believe Switzerland has a lot of cows ? 

 

[Nungali]

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's cloud illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

 

But do you know rows and flows of angel's hair and ice cream castles in the air ?

[Junko]

Do you mean the broccoli?  

[Junko]

Yes I meant cabbage.

You have never heard of side-arms?

 

No, the 50 caliber would not rotate around.  At the trigger you would be outside the helicopter going down, down, down.

[Apech]

Yes I meant cabbage.

 

 

I find that many people mean cabbage but say cauliflower.  

[Marblehead]

Sometimes I say things that even I don't believe.

[Apech]

Sometimes I say things that even I don't believe.

 

I don't believe you.

Ah you know a comment by Nungali with a cloud picture right? I mean this one before... Edited May 5, 2016 by Junko

I prefer Caulibage, it's a far more interesting vegetable, half brain and half bagel.

[Karl]

Sometimes I don't believe you sometimes don't believe the things that you say, but only sometimes, most times I do.

[wilfred]

i take it you guys and gals already agreed on the origin of mankind

[Michael Sternbach]

i take it you guys and gals already agreed on the origin of mankind

 

We seem to agree that it originated somehow.

[Junko]

Something must have gone wrong about mankind.This is what I mean to find out about the origin of mankind.Mankind is just overrated.Why we have to do this? It seems we can't even understand with each other.What a heck!

[Marblehead]

Looking for perfection?  You ain't gonna' find it.  At least not for a very long time.  We have been evolving for only 4 million years maximum.  That's not very long in evolutionary terms.

 

We are animals and still have many of our wild animal instincts.

You, Junko, Apech, BES, Liminal-luke, Dusty, Nungali, Bindi, Cheshire Cat, Dreambliss, spotless, Kar3n, Taoist texts appear to be animals according to your avatars. Zerostao appears to be a mythical animal.

I haven't read the whole thread.  My thoughts:

 

Evolution, as we've spoken of it here, is a linear concept.  And the universe keeps expanding in a linear fashion, according to our measurements and observations.  Such is our mind set up.

 

The Hadron collider has proven that when atoms smash, some of the quarks and neutrinos actually travel into the past!

 

What this suggests to me is that it is all Here and Now.  Evolution has already happened and we're playing catch-up.  The 3 times, Past, Present, Future are superimposed over each other, only our minds are set up linearly and we can't grasp it.

 

The more nuanced our instruments for measurement are, the more we find out that there's no 'there there'.  It seems to be heading in the direction of It's All Thought anyway.  The illusion.  The maya.

 

We are stardust, made out of everything else in the universe.  Everything Is, we share the same properties.  We, us, are each other.  This thing inside us, this soul, this warm presence that lives within, is the same thing in me as it is in you.  The manifestation of consciousness.

 

(Was it Nungali?) who suggested that Mars would be getting bigger?  I wonder, should this occur, if this would create the same reaction as the 5 Element theory, as when one element gets out of whack by expanding or contracting, that the tensive ones in opposition will be directly affected?  And the one being nurtured?  And the nurturing element?

 

The I Am consciousness.  The realization that we are indeed, the thinking part of the cosmos (although we don't hold a candle to the Intelligent Design that underlies everything - or as the Algonquins would say, the 'manitou'.)  Removal of personality dross is the key to the I Am consciousness, as any 33rd degree Freemason will tell you.  Or perhaps any Rinpoche.  Isn't it likely that there are other 'thinking and rationing components' in other points in the cosmos?  Of course.

 

For what purpose?  This is the real question for me. There is a line in a Rumi poem that says something like 'The ocean begs the pearl to open its shell'.  Whatever this thing is is screaming for consciousness of a different sort than it has now.  It is screaming to manifest consciousness in a way that it isn't now.  The real Us is the pearl, the shell is our outer acquired self, the ocean is the Oneness in which we are all a part, but are not in awareness of it.  We think we are separate.

 

We can't believe our eyes.
