apr 6 2020 + Ill minds, ill hearts, and ill bodies. Some will do whatever they can rather than accept, cling onto hopes, until every last straw is used. I'm glad to see, though, that there are a few–like us–who choose to remain steadfast and self-consistent, even in the face of death, tortures, and other abominable ends. The demonization of pain is one of the biggest ironic woes of humanity–'repulsive this', 'loathful that', 'pitiful', 'bad', 'evil', 'good', 'not enough', 'enough', etc.–when will it ever be made whole again? Their judgments create a double whammy–instead of just pain being pain–it's now multiple pains of their emotional responses to unwanted stimulus, through passive, aggressive, alpha-beta, competitive, fight, flight, fawn, freeze, obsessive tendencies, and or ego insecurities. Thankfully, we can bypass it, through self-awareness and acceptance–to gain understanding and ... apr 4 2020 ∞
apr 4 2020 + Pain creates desire, because it is intrinsically repulsive. It makes us want to flee from it. Without discomfort, there is no motivation to move from your chair and spread your legs; no motivation to eat when hungry; no motivation to make love, without feeling deprived of it; no motivation to talk, without, being deprived of sharing; [ . . . ] In the cases where there is a desired goal, with unpleasant steps, there has to be some greater pain of unworthiness–hurt in esteem–other physical and or emotional woes, to seek it, for remedy; like with working out, masochism, writing a book, eating healthily, etc. So unless one can find no relief in anything–then–there is always desire. Pain creates deprivation, for which, to chase after replacement. Sit still, long enough, and it is clear–you will want to get up and move–unless, there is some grea... mar 11 2020 ∞
mar 12 2020 + All is a part of life–and some of those parts–scream in laughter and agony, altogether, as one cacophony: In the seemingly endless, and cold silence of the cosmos, no one cares. No one cares–do you even–dare? Very few, less than nought, indeed. It's an empty experience. It's an empty calm. It's a great terror. It's a nothingness, lil', seed of disease–that we breathe–in every lungful of air. Darkness looms. Harm is certain. Death is welcome. The conscious–the unaware–the subversive and hidden, beneath the stars, eyes stare mockingly. 'F*ck the world', and the w-hole wuld gets a new heir, of ilk–cunning–dangerous, menacing, and insidious; 'f*ck the world', and we might just be, there, at last. Kingdom come, heaven undone. The end? Revenge is petty; Love is insane; What a predicament. mar 7 2020 ∞

True silence is no feeling and no thought and no-thing. It's imperceptible. The silence you speak of is relative to no thoughts, just. So in essence, self-destructive behavior ultimately has no 'consequence', because there's no-thing lying behind it to bring it to fruition. Though, pain occurs, because these patterns of behavior of thinking–do not allow health easily, since it is not constantly concerned for the damages taking place, of the heart–one must take care of the physical construct to optimize all sensory input and output. The heart is buried, but not gone, just less seen under the efforts to truth discovery.
You inspire me to be a martyr. I am in-di... mar 6 2020 ∞
mar 6 2020 + Admonition: This is speculation, based on my own critical thinking and life experiences, so take heed. Think for yourself, or don't. Assuming Elisa Lam died somewhere around Jan. 31st and February 1st, and they searched around the 5th or 6th, you have to ask at what point does her decomposing body's sent begin to waft strongly enough after the initial events. I remember you reading the article about people complaining of what smelled like a dying animal, all the way from the bottom of the hotel, street area. What on Earth. This is sketchy, shady, and bizarre to see them handle a case like this. All the transgressions just add up to make one more suspicious. The residents complained of a 'strange odor'. The dogs didn't pick up on anything [both within the hotel and on the rooftop, for f*ck's sake*–this is wrong–they found a hit near one of the fire-escape ..._reason_ . I've got to believe that. She was a lit... mar 2 2020 ∞

apr 6 2020 + To Chris Duff:
If acting on desire impedes presence, then can you say that is still avoidance? Would it make any sense to call that 'escapism' when it's not based on feelings of fear? I guess you could call a lot 'escapism', that has anything to do with will. So in a context of non-action, then perhaps you can have complete presence, without any 'distraction'. Thinking can also be a relief from fear of missing out in the moment. So if you're doing what you want, how can that be considered work without interest? To pre-suppose, super-impose, leads to compelling pressure. So if presence is a state, given, of consistent non-reaction to emotions and thoughts, then you essentially become a sensory automaton-... apr 6 2020 ∞
apr 6 2020 + There would be no thoughts without observation, 'cause they rely on its contents, to deduce and infer–also–to guess, judge, abstract via imagination, etc. There would be no mechanic to avoid, ignore, distract, block out, intimidate, skew, extort, coerce, maim, torture, kill, etc., if there weren't–too–something that hurt a sense of identity, will to live, protect, and take. My difference in viewing, is that thinking cannot be pure illusion–yes–most definitely approximation and errors, but usually some hint of truth, even with those who don't know how to describe what they're pointing at with their words. From the word 'god', many come up with their own definitions–so it's not too useful for discussion–and generally, maybe you could flatten out all the references, to point towards some common thread of meaning, but it can make conversation more tedious and difficult. That's ... apr 4 2020 ∞
apr 4 2020 + You cannot see your own seeing, so consciousness as a whole is unverifiable as the only reality. Awareness has no awareness of itself, in other words. We are trapped in an inherently random universe, because there are no ultimate pre-determining factors for existence. So if things exist, they are, without reason. There is no way to prove any of the claims, since our mind's, intuition's, and perception's can only ponder in wonder, awe, dread, and fear. Though, perhaps there is a way to deduce behind the veil: My proposition is that 'a void remains a void, because it is a void', but this only works if things themselves obey logic, and it appears they do not. So, if there are independences of observation, there is no way to know–hitherto I have found–besides guessing consciousness is not necessarily telling us all the information upfront. There is no way to prove that it does. I still hav... mar 9 2020 ∞
mar 9 2020 + Some people will not listen. I don't know how one would do it, besides–be incredibly enticing–they break–their own rituals, philosophy, attitudes, and living-style.
You're super-imposing one idea of another. You don't trust the process of where I get my 'truths' from, so you refuse to look in the direction(s) they point, which means you'll never see that it works as a tool for discovery. You don't want to validate it, fine. I won't seek out any more of your posts, if so. I don't need to "defend" anything. If your ideas are superior, I have to forfeit mine, as part of the logical method. So far, they are not, because it is filtered through your intuition [and previous notions, conceptions, events, and experiences–that were not–... mar 6 2020 ∞
mar 6 2020 + Comment made on February 12th, 2020, around 7PM, to "Chris Duff" on Facebook [During a discussion we were having, regarding consciousness, presence-awareness, and the truth]:
I am making a syllogism, parallel, and analogy to what you just said–with the meme, image, above–referencing that you have pointed it out multiple times, as if, I didn't understand the context of the words. You're using words like "information" and "knowledge"–which are biased–to your intuition. The thoughts and words,... mar 2 2020 ∞
mar 2 2020 + –The following has been slightly alphabetized, for the aesthetic and convenience of the eyes, so NOT by order of importance. It is a work in progress. Expect alterations, additions, truncations, and overall evolution.
Anything Labeled as "My Music" or "My Book" is from me–also–a lot of (or most) of the playlists are my own; I have two different books out currently, those being, "Love Void Love" [ . . . ] and "The Book of Nought: ."

jan 31 2022 + The forefront of the mind is what I call the deliberate thinking center, where most awareness typically lends watch. The background noise is like a foam rising up from these louder pitches which will require a bit more deeper tuning into to catch eye of; but I am sure you know the statements: ‘chatter’ or ‘TV static’ to represent it. To quickly verify what I am saying, repeat mantras or phrases enough times and your brain will begin to zone out eventually on the automated and seemingly inescapable ‘flowing river’ behind this all. Beyond everything here, I cannot say with absolute certainty; I imagine the unconscious processes take place which only a dedicated visit will retrieve. For me, there is another level, the voice commentary - also another hallucination echoing (audibly) my mind. Here ‘they’ talk about whatever decisions or musings I am doing or having; I am never fr... apr 6 2020 ∞
apr 6 2020 + Bearing knowledge can also mean bearing the ignorant of that knowledge, that is, if you don't want to share. Why would you do so? Power? Manipulation? Despair? Well, maybe people just don't want truth. They want hope–immediate distance–from the present, 'cause letting go of their views potentially means withdrawing from high-expectations and standards from it. So why bother helping those who don't want to be helped? It all comes down to self-awareness and acceptance, that if one cares to seek answers that are accurate, they would do so–instead of–resistance and restriction of their minds and hearts to new-er, updated ideas and modes. apr 4 2020 ∞
apr 4 2020 + Nietzsche, talked about this, he called it 'gradations and fluxes'–like on a spectrum–things or apparentness operates. mar 9 2020 ∞
mar 9 2020 + Intuition is an inherent, natural threading for approximating truths for navigation, satisfaction, and motivation in the world. It is based on all previous experiences, ideas, emotions, circumstances, people, notions, and events that have taken place in one person's cultural, social, psychological, spheres, and ego-esteem-complex of a life-time. There is not intrinsic 'pot of gold' to it, so to speak, metaphorically–in other words–it is not always wrong, and is very effective, at quick decision making; but does poorly at hyper-articilation, clarification, specification for yonder [beyond immediate presence truths, i.e., inference, deduction, and prediction], hypothetical algorithms, for truth discovery and extrapolations. It is instinctively logged in the subconscious, unconscious brain–so that–it is not always 'possible' to see what will ... mar 6 2020 ∞

mar 6 2020 + What can you do with someone who refuses to listen to what you have to say, because they are totally against belief of any kind? He sticks to his own views and world, and whoever does not reflect them, is immediately rejected, misconstrued, deflected, etc. With all sorts of psychological tactics being used to keep himself, locked in, unquestioning of the perspective–he–ignores everyone else. This particular person, however, goes onto blast other people, accusing them of being ignorant, self-sabotaging, and making excuses for 'the real truth'. Well, unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help, until they want it. He is convinced logic goes nowhere and is not a useful tool for discovering knowledge. I can't make him see, show him how it works, if he won't even look! So my only options remain to let him be, come up with an idea so compelling [he is tempted to think for himself], or gi... mar 1 2020 ∞
