To "begin" it is only necessary to create movement (an impetus) and observe the results of the movement. Information (Memory) is then collected. There...

First there is crude experimentation and then information (Memory) is slowly corrected. Similar to a baby playing with some toy blocks.

Organizing is an aspect of the Mind's intention to create. Organization itself is insufficient to explain creative evolution. All aspects of the Mind,...

Emotions are way of sharing and experiencing, just like the other senses. For some reason, people tend to differentiate them into different categories...

It would be more than emotions/or feelings. It is Creative. Emotions and feelings are derivative of the creative impetus.
July 13, 2021 at 01:12
Mind has Memory (information), but it also is imbued with a creative impetus. Information, without a creative impetus cannot change.

It is the nature of Mind/Memory. It is what transpires and takes shape.

Mind is continuous as spiraling waves throughout the body. This idea that the brain is the center of activity is so antiquated. Even biologists, recog...

Everything is Mind, and Mind is always learning, creating, and changing. Now, for the origins of Mind/Light? I may be able to perceive such a thing, b...

There are no particles. What you are observing are continuous wave movements. Everything is waves. Observe waves in an ocean to understand the process...

Individualism is the path toward a fulfilled life. The public educational system teaches conformity, obedience, and propaganda for obvious reasons. Th...

This thread is an example of why science has become so dangerous. Take heed.

Forget about heights. Maybe you get some adulation which ultimately is quite empty. What has meaning is not what others do, but what you do with your ...

Meditation may be relaxing, and one may gain some self awareness, but you Are what you Do. There are no shortcuts.
April 29, 2021 at 22:25
What I have learned is that increased awareness comes from lots of study and practice. However, people don't want to put the effort into it, so they p...

Yes, I would liken it to molding a piece of clay into a new shape.

Experience is a strange little breast. Experience does create change (a creative action), but is it additive? I would say it is transformative.
April 29, 2021 at 13:12
Science erected a god idol around a Time magazine cover story, and continues to worship it. There is a reason Einstein received the Nobel prize for th...

One has to go to places that are "scientifically" unacceptable in order to understand the nature of Life. Science moves in the direction of organizing...

They are interesting as a popular reference point for discussion. However, as a cohesive description of the nature of the human experience, they are w...

He had some interesting ideas. However, they are disheveled, without cohesiveness. He went wrong when he turned out into a business. Money always corr...

Correct. Jung avoided the obvious explanation. Probably had to.
April 29, 2021 at 01:47
Instincts is a word. When viewed from a specific philosophers'/energetic/spiritual perspective, it is possible to explain instincts as habits, both at...

The eye-opener for me was when I discussed Jung with Jung psychotherapists, none of them could really discuss his ideas and .. none of them used any o...

It's like Yin and Yang. Two sides of the same coin, who work together to gain wealth and steal from those who create wealth.
April 26, 2021 at 19:01
The answer to your question lies in Spirituality, not philosophy. Yes, Life and Death are an endless cycle, just like Sleep and Awake. We move within ...

Yes. :)

Of course, out mind can create movement in our own body, but can it make movement beyond that, with use of our physical body. Also, this happens all o...

It is possible trust there was not one author of the Dao De Jing (I hold this view), but rather it is a conglomeration of sayings, thoughts, and stori...

You cannot, but you can imagine it. Time is what is and what is unfolding. There is no traveling in time, only change that we feel, like molding a pie...

They are just one point in a journey. They are actually quite wanting because one cannot express an experience in words. However, they can provide clu...

As I said in my prior message to you, it takes exploration with skillful observation. This is learned with practice. One doesn't become a captain of a...
