GENIUS FORUMS

I read Quinn's posts to me in the last 3 pages, what are you trying to point out?

How do you best make use of your abilities day to day and in the larger scheme?
Being general on purpose here.

One of my abilities is that I am good at doing mundane things, good with detail,honest, sense of humor & compassionate. But sometimes I do nothing & am a bitch. In my spare time I am an artist. But I never use my spare time for art...I sit on the computer & smoke cigs,,,(inbetween cooking & cleaning)....I plan on working(a job) less & finding the time to paint (art) & other recreational activites ASAP....when I was your age I was a rebellious- poet-pot-smoking-hippie :)

How about you ?

Read them from the place where 'certainty' is available in order to have the dream work out.

I don't think it's wise to say God's doing it.

I think you have to pay mind to your own mind that isn't God's responsibility.

To have one's own mind in as fine a shape as possible.

Creating that.

Not creating that leads to a train of experience of being trampled upon and struggling for air.

I do wish often I had any skill with art, I'm one of those stick figure drawing guys that can't cut paper straight because I am uncoordinated. I was good at mundane things too, especially maths, although I quit maths,physics, and university, right after I started to realize the illusion, not to mention the horrible state of modern education. Also it was after I knew I was, and was going to be a philosopher rather than a physicist. (Although I was doing philosophy as an elective, but academic philosophy is dreary.)

This understanding lead me to completely abandon all plans and wants for money or a secure future, as I saw that was the sole source of the worry,stress and suffering I saw everyday from the very people that seemed to think it was important. Now I have no obligations or responsibilities, besides those that come with a girlfriend, all I would really want to do is produce more, use my potential. (write more, discover how to better effect the mind, and transfer that into whatever formats for people to actually see). You'll probably understand my position then haha

The dream works out in only three ways...
1 Not worrying
2 Taking action
3 Getting help

I am not viewing "god" as you think I am Dennis.... I close my eyes and I witness the wavy and changing darkness form into barely visible shapes and then all of a sudden change from that into.... seeing and being in a different place... I know that this place I am in now is of the same sort, it is of consciousness... I call that consciousness, that thing I am a witness too, which is the source of all my experiences and your experiences, "god".

(A three letter word like tao which to me means... source of all of these miraculous experiences, including the source of what we call the universe, the creator of the universe, a consciousness "we" are part of...)

You'll probably understand my position then haha

In that case it's not much of a stretch to see your position as the missionary position):

In summary, what have we got,
the set of assessments:

unknown cause, infinite, not a thing, Tao.

no objective reality independent of mind.

came in related, going out related, never unrelated, possibilities for relationship.

whatever happens is causally dependent and does not have absolute existence, rather is impermanent.

can you add?

add?.. my short version of understanding?

Constant change, fading moment, endless existence, questions must always be answered, dream questions with dream answers, all experience is interconnected, without that experience we return to the exact same realm of nothing, defined by what's changing, becoming, no separation, only different manifestations, miraculous always- not "me" typing, witnessing, this is absolutely essential for the fundamental understanding.

no movement, perception of movement.

What could better describe shared consciousness than a body of water?
