Iconoclast --- Good question. I get it doesn't exist until you create it with your own mind. Meaning doesn't exist independently of us. That it exists independently is an illusion. The root of all existence is empty and meaningless, the Void if you like, and that is what O'Shaughnessy was pointing to. We are the meaning machines...

Iconoclast --- ponder this... "We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams." -- O'Shaughnessy
The meaning is apparent because you, and only you, are creating it.

When people lose touch with Tao,
they start talking about
"righteousness" and "sanctity."
When people forget what's true,
they start talking about
"self-evident truths."
When people have no respect
for one another,
they start talking about
"political correctness"
and "family values."
When the nation is unstable,
people start talking about "patriotism."
-- Ron Hogan translation of 18th saying of Tao Te Ching

-SysBanana
|
|
|
sand --- I actually meant that question for Tuesday... zzzzzzzzz
-SysBanana

Karen :::hugs::: I think I'm falling in love... ~;)
-SysBanana

|
|
sand --- consider the possibility of completely transcending the war of good & evil in one's own consciousness... what world would we then perceive?
-SysBanana
|
|
|
LIKE that, sand!!! ~;)
-SysBanana
|
|
|
Tuesday --- the banana asks you, what purpose does it really serve to identify any Other as evil? eg., Does it further the evolvement of peace in any way... ???
-SysBanana
|
|
|
Tuesday --- Nice to meet you, too! I get the reality of evil, I just say it's not who we are.
-SysBanana

|
|
karen --- I do??? [] well, my dad was a very sentimental character... It probably rubbed off... ~:)
-SysBanana

<-^--< I get it's not ever anyone's fault. There is this pattern in consciousness that's just hanging out here -- we get born into it. No one is ever at fault, we are RESPONSIBLE for what we buy into as our lives unfold. All are ultimately innocent...

:::looking for smut etc. referenced by wayward angel::: Gosh... some peeps must have very delicate stomachs...
Apparently our sensitive Angel has never been in an AOL chat... ???
LOL!!! I see a lotta love here, & it doesn't vibe Hallmark, either... ~:)

friends, please send your love, prayers, conscious awareness, whatever it is you are prone to do, to our great elder statesman, Sen. Edward Kennedy here in the US -- just announced he has malignant brain tumor, particularly nasty kind... & he has determined to heal it...

Franco, that there is a God is no more true than that there isn't. What is so, is neither this nor that.

In other words, if you want to be loved, commit yourself to loving everyone.

~karen... When I see the ego in others, there is mine, when I see the failings of others, there are mine, when I see the love in you I fel it in me... There are no enemies in life, just opportunities to know yourself better.
We has seen the enemy, & he is us! -- Pogo
Annie are you still there... ?
-SysBanana

|

Just remember, the vast majority of people are not really seeing YOU -- They're looking in the mirror of their own mind at themselves, imagining they're seeing someone named Annie... ~:)
-SysBanana
|
|
|
Annie, the more you practice by doing it, the easier it gets -- promise.
-SysBanana
|
|
|
Annie, I know, it really can be! And, no one here can getcha! It's all just words. LOL!!! And, "vibes" are only as substantial as thought...
-SysBanana

Hiya, Karen, it's mutual ~;)

Bill, there's a problem with that quote from Morris West -- he says he can't conceive of such a creator, but when he said it that's exactly what he was doing! ~:)

Repeating patterns are self-referential. Without one you would not recognize yourself. We are evolving repeating patterns in the context of Chaos, mathematically defined in part by IMAGINARY numbers...

-SysBanana

Peace to you, brother. Very glad to meetcha... <3

And it's the best thing in the world for making sand castle with!!! hahaha :o)
-karen

Sand is what gives cement structure and makes it strong = mortar = houses that stand for centuries!! :o)

Maybe some require a standardised form of reference, such as one of those taught in the great universities? *v*
But I'll say no more on the subject!! hahahaha
-karen

hahaha Off the top of my head - "I have a mathematician friend who has a mathematician friend who every day 'takes a nap'." The Tao is Silent.

Maybe your scathing words against me would have more impact if I thought they had any substance, but they don't.
They are just the bitter rantings of a frustrated man, afraid to face himself. More to be pitied than to be scolded.
-karen

You condemn those who are working through their trauma's for not having already done so, thereby denying them (or wishing to deny them) the opportunity to do so now.
And you spill your mean spirited bile (or try to) in their path.
Indeed there is a LOT of good stuff in your posts Gnarly, but throughout they are tinged with puke. Hard for the reader to overlook the latter in favour of the former.
Sad. You do yourself a disservice, just as you do those you choose to pillory.
-karen

|
|
P.S. There's nothing wrong with the site - I can access your profile no problem, as can you access mine... maybe you'd like to take a look at the points I directed at you the other night when you cut and run the second you smelt a challenge (nothing new there) to the bile you were spilling.
Light and love Gnarls, light and love. ;) xxxx

Wanna talk about Zionists Gnarly, or do you want to continue to tar every person born to, or converted to, the Jewish faith with the same brush?
-karen
|
|
|
Oh, but what would I know? I'm just a moron and a hag, regurgitating without digesting what ever it is the Jewish cabal require of me. hahaha Oh, you are funny!
You are right about one thing though...
Zar. You are right about him. Even when I disagree (me being such a moron as to disagree with one so profound) with him I've never lost respect or love for him.
-karen
|
|
|
Ouch!! Where did all this glass come from? *v*
Gnarly, you really are a class 'act'.
So, your profile is full of original insight is it? Well done you. Tell me though, all of this Jewish conspiracy crap, do you really expect to pass that off as original? - The same tripe has been regurgitated in one form or another for close to a century now, add that to the plain old anti-Semitism that went before it and I think you'll find your 'originality' slightly over-stated...
-karen
|
|
|
Oh! And I'm a dab hand at DIY, so fixing the odd broken pain, and thereby improving my metaphorical self AND my metaphorical DIY skills is a challenge I can deal with. LoL
K, that's enough free association for now... My body needs fuel!

I looked and looked, but nowhere could I see the 'original personal response to the book' of the one who called for an original personal response to the book'. *v*

But me and my confrontational ways seem to have chased off what few posters were here.... Or maybe they just got busy with living. Hope so!
I know it's been quiet in here lately, but just 3 posters in 24 hours! Weird! Brad needs a publicity boost!
-karen
|
|
|
Thanks Zar. I'm kind ogf enjoying being back right now. :)
And there was me imagining the purpose of communication was to be understood... I really DO have to shake of this conventional thinking I'm locked into(!)... rember there is no spoon! LoL
-karen

Just my 'holier than thou' observations... ;)
Good Wednesday! :) xxxx
-karen

I wish I understood you better... but maybe I'm not supposed to?
Like when the Zen master whacks his pupil over the head in answer to a simple question...' Go figure'! LoL
All of my understanding suggests that the past 6,000 + years have witnessed the rise of western Jedaio (sp?)-Christian dominance, and that that dominance is about to crumble... to give way to a new age (aye, the cyclic is at work), and that it is we who decide the direction of growth during this coming age.

... You are herd. You are crowd. You are majority. You are sheeple. You ignored the warnings. You bought and sold. You turned your back on the future, in favor of acceptance of and comfortableness in, the present. So you thought. As Karma will have you do. Bought yo self a "comfy chair".
-Saffron
Who is 'you' in this? Everyone but the author? Where is 'my' comfy chair? What about the present do 'I' accept, expect it's inevitable encroachment on the future?
Hey Zar! :) xxx

The old, who's time has come, holds no fear for the new, whose time is just beginning.
Complex societies always collapse under the weight of their own complexity. Western imperialism is coming to an end.
The new is beginning to flourish, quietly taking it's place, unwilling to be intimidated or contaminated by the old as it passes fitfully into the past.
Our time is now.
Nameste.
-karen

The end and the beginning happen simultaneously.
The end puts up a fight... rants and rails in the face of its passing. - 'Rage against the dying of the light'. -
The new merely begins to flourish, to grow. A natural response to the passing of the old.
Naturally the old resents this and rails against it. But the new can rest easy knowing it has nothing to fear from the old...
This is the beginning.
Nameste.

My last message for now Sand... heading for the kitchen to see what's on offer for tonight.
The snow seems to have stopped... for now, and dusk is upon this concrete land. :)
Read ya later honey. xxxxx
-karen

|
|
Trouble is, I can't stand slapstick!! hahahaha
-karen
|
|
|
But you know what Sand to condemn Gnarly or anyone for thier inability to see PAST themselves would be unfair... like condemning a infant for being the centre of its own world, even though the infant doesn't yet know the rest of the world.
He is a coward and a bully, and he needs to be shown that! But...
something I read today... "Bless and be Blessed".
It's up to those of us who see the bigger picture to remember that many can't.... YET.
-karen
|
|
|
But at least he had the courage to discuss his 'beliefs'. Unlike Gnarly, who cuts and runs the SECOND a challenge comes along... then he has the audacity to talk about sterility as if that's entirely of another's making and he does not contribute. Tsk
;)
-karen
|
|
|
Who's the atheist? - Gnarly?
Remember Hater Dude (now a very good friend!) and how he'd come here preaching his atheism day in and day out? Would not have it that he was only describing his own belief system... said he didn't believe anything and couldn't get his head around the fact that his non-belief was a belief in itself! haha

be sure to flush and put the lid down, sister woman. Here it comes! karen, take it away! -gnarticulations *** LID? Flush ? as in indoor Plumbing? I am in Bear in the woods Land : )

Hey Sand!! - You arrived just in time to stop me becoming that which I preach against!! hahaha
Watched that Woman Goddess documentary last night... Loved It!! :)
-karen
|
|
|
Oh, how cowardly to cut and run just as someone comes along to question your rhetoric.
Oh how cowardly to use someone's difficulties through the Most treacherous part of their journey through this lifetime (I speak from experience) against then, simply to further your own political agenda!!
Even if there was any truth to your cause, there is only bitterness in your heart and poison in your delivery. You are no better then any of those you preach against... Physician heal thyself!
-karen

Hope everyone is looking forward to more sock puppet theatre and mundane idealism! Here it comes! karen, take it away!
-gnarticulations
Oh, but honey, YOU are so much better at the regurgitation than I... and your dependence on a target to belittle is SO entertaining!
Thankfully those you target are well supported and not easliy hurt by you... such is the Global Consciousness. :o)
-karen
|
|
|
Have you gone... did you decide to leave when I arrived, just as you always used to? - You know I used to think there was something personal in that... I know I was right, but for exact the wrong reasons! ;) xxx
-karen
|
|
|
Take note of how efficiently karen has been taught to think like an obedient jew, just like the rest. Another example of success for the enemy. World peace through apathy, ya'll!
-gnarticulations
Not ALL of the rest surely Gnarly, you funny little thing... I mean surely YOU are not included in this number?? /gasp
-karen
|
|
|
And WTF do you have against Gandhi??? hahaha
God you're funny. LoL
-karen
|
|
|
No sweet gnarly, I'm ore than happy to sit back and let you type your solutions. hahaha ;)
But then, I didn;t expect for a minute you'd be willing/happy to or even comfortable sharing this space with me.
By the way, that old woman Sand posted about the other day, the one you said should meat out the solutions to the problem you had identified... did you yourself get round to meating out those solutions yet. ;) xxx
-karen
|
|
|
Hey GC all! :o)
Good to see there's still some life here occasionally.
Can't help but wonder Gnarls, in what ways being a hippie precludes one from civic or political activity?
And by the same token how coming to terms with past (childhood) abuses precludes one from recognising what's transpiring in the world today (no matter where the responsibility lies for that, be it with the Jews, the 'illuminatti, or mealy the greedy or whoever)?
-karen
|
|
|
Careful gnarly, you're... errr... agenda is showing. ;)
Don't ya just love a good straw man? LoL
-karen
|
|
|
Maybe the one who has the perception to identify the problem ought to be the one to meat out the solution...
Just a though. ;) xxx

'My' Alan Watts is a 'conspiracy theorist'/alternative historian type... A philosopher in hisx own right.
But I find Daoism much more fullfilling than trying to unravel the mysteries of politics! I will see out 'you'r Alan Watts to tqke with me to Australia.
(last post for now Hilmar, so I'll say good night in case I don't get a chance to later. So glad I came accross you here this evening! Love you! xxx)
