However, this post is to discuss the absent-minded professor syndrome. Why do people in deep concentration tend to forget other practical things in life?

This reminds
me Antonio of the river of forgetfulness,the river Styx,where Charon ferried
the souls across,I see two aspects to this "tale"?One of being ferried at the
point of death of the physical body,and one at the point of "conception" and
of dying in the etheric realm,and being reborn into the physical world,one
forgets,slumbers,and crosses the river again into physical life!


kind regards michael.

When we are very concentrated in a particular thing, we forget about other things because the mind is a plane. I'll explain. The mind is a plain, of which the width is the different methods/areas of intelligence and the length is the depth into which we can go with each area. As a general rule, women have a very width intelligence, that is, many areas of intelligencecovered, but to a smaller depth. Men, on the contrary, have a big length, but very little areas covered. A women might be good at biological logic and literature, whiles a man good in mathematics might not be able to write a short story. The book gives a good representation of this: the lights of a car. The short lights, cover a short distance, but are very wide. That is the women's intelligence. The long or length lights, are go very far, but only show a small width. That's the man. Also the book explain that it is for this that it's nearly always the men (and if it's a woman, it's a woman with an intelligence more like one of a man than of a woman) that make the big things in science/philosophy/art... Becuase the concentrate a lot on one particular part. Whiles Women, they give the base to humanity, without them, all men would be completelly irresponsible of other things in teir life and their world.

It was just an example. But as you see, most giants of literature are men, and probably they were terrible in math, and in life issues. A woman woudln't be that uncontrolled. Please everyone understand I'm not criticizing men for being too unstable or women for being to stable, it's just the way we (generalizing) are.

Guille,

Just never forget the birthday of your girl friend unless you are asking for a bump in the head.

I don't forget that type of things. I might forget my own birthday, but not a girlfriend's. I do live a lot into philosophy and physics, but also do many other things, I live, and that is more than what most money-devoted people will ever do.

There comes a time when we all have to forgive and forget and move on to some better things in our respective endeavor toward a goal for a realization of the TOE.

Is there anything else that we can forget that would speed up the search for the TOE? How about forgetting the complex numbers?
