Everything doesn't make any sense.

Discussion in 'Philosophy and Religion' started by neonspectraltoast, Jan 14, 2014.

  1. I'm not even sure one can imagine what perfect sense of everything would do to a person. It might be a letdown. People would joke about you being the guy who knew everything, because they wouldn't be able to really grasp that you did indeed know everything. You'd have to have a posse of supporters who also claimed that you knew everything or it wouldn't even matter.

    To me, this would be nonsense.

    you expressed earlier in the string the inadequacy of language
    addressing the everything . i'd spose a knowitall with enough and
    too much to say would have a long and impressive list of the parts
    that comprise everything and stitches those parts together to
    present a knowledgable theory of everything . it can be compelling
    imagery ... but false ... sometimes entertaining ... metaphysical .

    to the steadfast mind untruth registers immmediately as a non-
    sensical glitch , out-of-context . the context is 1 everything . anyway ,
    the language for that context will be very poor at counting things .

    but who is counting ? children of a lesser god who will think to own
    this world through accounting practices , or drum-machines .

    well , what of a picture of God come forth unbidden from the steadfast mind ?
    such a picture so conceived would always be about wholeness , which is a very
    important idea , is all your fingers , are the open hands of many raised in unity ,
    might call it zoose which is a word meaning extreme spirit power when just a
    moose is not so much unless its playing reggae guitar moozik of the north and
    that can be good enough for happiness .
     
  3. The thing is that I am in support of a theory of everything, to a point. What no one has the ultimate authority to do is to tell us how we should feel about everything. Whether this is all fantastic or ordinary is really a mystery, a matter of opinion, and our feelings about it change from one moment to the next. I do see the irony in arguing that we should all agree that it makes no sense, but I guess I don't mind being a little ironic in this. I don't expect everyone to follow along, nor would I want them to. Variety is the spice of life.

    Your thought appears complete , wholistic , now that this part
    of your first post doesn't appear very important : Religious people
    just have kind of a lazy way of trying to make sense of everything.
     
  5. Yeah, in retrospect I wouldn't call it lazy; a lot of them put a lot of effort into their beliefs. But I still attest that God itself isn't a way of making sense of everything.

    Interestingly peace faces it's most popular obstacle in the desire to be rid of it.

    all I can see is two ways , both of natural perception of course . there's
    perceiving the whole or the parts . assembling the parts will never equal
    the whole .

    A system can be greater than the parts that make up the system. A system can be made from many systems working together.

    Of these you see one, or the other but not both, however you can see anew and re-member the other.

    a mandala is a gift from the steadfast mind . it is to be
    understood as wholeness , first unto your understanding ,
    and then addressed to the feeling of beyond that yet not
    beyond reality . as art , it will exist before it is made .

    Yeah, but reality we know first to the understanding of a problem for the impracticality. Any notable quotes from ex-governor Jesse Ventura?

    Absorption, refection, and polarity are normal.
    Balance is neither positive nor negative.

    Off grid baby!

    Bi-polar is overindulgence. Indulge, but pull back in time. Nothing in excess.

    Balance seems most often more positive than negative.

    I like where you travel here but indulgence is allowed or never absent, timing is another thing. Weights and measures do not oppose us. Mastery is to pick it up and lay it down at will or whenever you like.

    then there is no motion to it ? no direction ? what if you require the
    power of positive opposition just to blinkily walk across the road to
    ask the chicken something gnosticly . lately i took on a crazy lady
    as a student who thinks she is pagan gnostic and is impassioned with
    that oldtime sense of being ornery and oppositional . crazy , it could
    destroy her .

    i intend for her to be more relaxed about it , like a rainbow warrior would
    walk in balance . she may spin the wheel .

    Motion rides creation, a law without opposite. I'm not a warrior although I have met a few, spinners of fortunes wheel. They neither worry for me nor I for them. I intend showing up as the wheels of time come off all together high above the battlefield.

    That is because righting oneself is not the same as balance.
