One studies photography just like one studies philosophy, and you learn something new.

By study.

Learning and evolving (changing). It's called evolution.
December 07, 2020 at 04:47
Just observe what everyone is doing.

Photography teaches how to look at the world differently, and when you look at it differently you see me things. You get "new eyes". The real voyage o...

Of course. We learn from everything we do. Constantly.
December 07, 2020 at 04:40
To learn, to grow, to evolve. That is what we we are all doing.

How about taking up photography and enjoying what you see? Find a place to live, try to enjoy the food and air, and then have some fun in your life. E...

Living is not about living, it is about what you do with your life. I wonder what people, who believe the life is only about trying to continue to liv...

Luckily, one can observe the shadows of the Dao by looking at its etchings. http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/Images/YY50BG.gif Look closely, and ...

Try learning a new sport or art.

But default, living is about dying. Too limiting.

Natural selection? From where did this come from. All I see is variety. Everyone having their own ideas on how to live. I find fulfillment in creation...

New eyes.
December 05, 2020 at 20:59
Why do we think? That is a different question. Probably to create something new was opposed to not thinking and being absolutely stagnant - and bored....

No interpretation is necessary. It is exactly as stated.
December 05, 2020 at 20:38
I am most certainly correct. The fun is in finding them or creating them. "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in...
December 05, 2020 at 20:32
New ideas are everywhere, but possibly not in academia they are slow to gestate because of its inertial nature. Academia tends to follow not lead. I a...

Consciousness is the awareness not the images. It is what continues between the state of unconscious and conscious, as those who become conscious are ...
December 05, 2020 at 13:49
It is possible, but the major idea is that memory continues through the Small Sleep and the Big Sleep. This is what defines the individual as being an...

I was attempting to explain the nature of "child prodigies" and how they acquired their gifts. Memories from past lives.
December 04, 2020 at 01:31
We may know many things from practice in past lives. Everyone has a different soulful history, each physical life being an accumulation of the complet...
December 03, 2020 at 23:48
In simplicity one gains clarity. Complexity clouds the obvious. A idea needs only one sentence. The Internet is a manifestation of junk debris. Better...

The ancients observed life more clearly.

What IS energy. Math and physics only deals with equivalencies (=). They can never say what it IS. Only WE can say who we ARE.

Perceived by who?
December 03, 2020 at 14:53
Doesn't light carry the memory of the stars as they were millions of years ago. Who's to say that memory dies when the body can no longer function. Ye...

Yes, Life and Death are cycles of learning, and give meaning and understanding to life. Science is limited to what it can measure. That which it canno...
December 02, 2020 at 20:07
My suspicion is that life is cyclical, and the microcosmic resembles the macrocosmic. We sleep, dream, and wake up, consciousness being a continuum of...
December 02, 2020 at 18:36
I suspect death is much like sleep. No time Just fleeting images. And say some point, we wake up, still with some memories of the past.
December 02, 2020 at 18:14
I do agree that the Universe is comprised by the union of opposites. This idea appears in many philosophies of many cultures. I do not think, however,...
December 02, 2020 at 00:32
Yes, I very much agree with you. Our individual minds are looking into itself, the Universal Mind. There isn't anything dark and mysterious about Daoi...
December 02, 2020 at 00:25
The essence of Daoism is the flow of the universe. What is that flow? What creates flow. It is the Universal Mind. What is Mind? No one can define it,...

Hi, My first post. I came to this forum because of my interest in Daoism. I would say that the primary concept of Daoism is that fundamental nature of...
