    Re: Greetings, I am new to this forum...

    Hi all,

    I am new to this forum and Toequest. Interesting name actually. I look forward to learning what this site is all about. I guess what brings me here is my ever curious mind to the subjective, and the objective. My question is what is between subjective and objective or is the space on the left of subjective or the right of objective where all questions not yet found are at our very grasp if we only know how to see with a clear prospective where subjectivity and objectivity don't get in the way? It is in this empty space or calmness where the answers all lie I believe. Is there a word for this?

    Have a great day.

    Hi Ripple Effect:
    Good to see ya.
    In response to your question - 'Is there a word for this?'
    Asian philosophy sometimes calls it ZaZen.
    Western science may call it 'alpha' waves on a bio-feedback meter.

    Best regards,
    - RP (aka Kai)

    Ripple Effect,
    Not so sure that we can find all the unfound questions in that middle space between the subjective and the objective, nor do I believe that we can also find the answers there. I have some experience with the emptiness of enlightenment and someday I will share it on this forum.

    "Although I am considered an expert in my field and am well learned in many other areas, in the context of all possible knowledge, my ignorance is still infinite."

    Hi RE, and welcome to the Quest...

    In answer to your question, the word for the middle position is 'Wisdom'__The wisdom to see and synthesize all sides within one universal position, if and where possible... The science of wisdom... LINK...

    A clear short paper on subjective/objective thinking, by a young student at MIT... LINK... (same author...)
    "To develop the skill of correct thinking is in the first place to learn what you have to disregard. In order to go on, you have to know what to leave out; this is the essence of effective thinking." Kurt Godel
    "Time and space are modes in which we think and not conditions in which we live." Albert Einstein
    "The uncertainty principle is an absolute, finite, universal constant." L.G.
    "The tick-tick-tick of the caesium atom is a sliding-time-scaler constant of all finite universal motion." L.G.

    Welcome to the forum RE.

    Questions are like stepping stones on our journey, as we each seek to know life, itself.

    It has been said that we know the answer before we can even formulate the question.

    Perhaps there is but one question, and countless ways to express same.

    Regards,

    So many paths to the same destination,
    would, but I could, experience them all...

    Labelwench and others,
    If you could ask one question, knowing before you asked it that it would be answered in full and in absolute truth, what single question would you ask? The previous question would not of course be the one I would ask.

    Re: Greetings, I am new to this forum...

    Universal Laws that apply not only to this universe, but all universes are where questions and answers are I believe. All thought from past, present and future is a maze of invisible energy that is there like a beautiful creek hidden amongst the rain forest. Unfortunately, so is the creek that was once there that has a past, but is hidden amongst the the city of doom where it to has a vibration of past, present and future some don't like to pay attention to.

    Base on this...questions are answered already, but I believe it is our wisdom and experience that ask certain questions to dissect certain answers from the universe. That is why each of us are so unique in that we have different experiences; therefore a wisdom and questions somewhat different than mine.

    Does it all lead to the same place? Well, we all die so I would say yes. Then there is the question, what happens after this, do we go to the same place? This is a powerful question that has been asked since the beginning of knowing. They say thought is a vibration more powerful then ultra violet light that attracts similar thoughts so if we die, do these thoughts die with us? I would say no. I will leave this subject now because I could go on...thanks for reading.

    My main question is what happens when our physical body dies? There have been and are still many ways this is being expressed. Some good, some not.
