Why Do Intellectuals Oppose Capitalism?

[Lloyd Gillespie]

There is no you to sink into anything, for you are already submerged.

The world is divided by the physical and the non-physical, and I overheard in a dream last night ......
'' how do you know what's one thing....and what isn't? ''

I feel the physical sentience, and know the physical sapience...

The Jains have the best physical philosophy, next to our scientists...

How smart is your right foot?


It is pre-programmed in your brain!



Try out this……

This is hysterical,you have to try this.It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things the brain cannot handle.
This will confuse your mind..


Go on see if you can out smart your foot. You can't it is pre-programmed in your brain.

1: While sitting at your desk in front of your computer / laptop, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2: Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand.Your foot will change direction.

I told you so! and there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how funny it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

That is true for most people but not all, as not everyone's brain is wired the same.

Been using that one and similar for years in teaching people to co-ordinate both sides of their body and mind, prior to learning how to separate and recombine the aids they give when riding the horse.

At first, all are as your experiment above.

Some very few can go on to reprogram their responses and those have the capacity to become advanced riders and teachers in a multitude of disciplines beyond the arena of horses.

They are out there, they are just not very numerous.

EVOLUTION

A monkey in a silk suit is a human being,
Which doesn’t fit or sit well with the seeing;
But the case has been more than proven;
We are animals yet, crusin’ for a brusin’.

The message is in the mess...

Would a teacher of 'Advaita Vedanta' (nondual philosophy)
fall into that category?

'' ME is Imagination.


In the so-called equation of subject and object, you are definitely the subject.
Yet upon investigation, the subject is not a thing at all.
Any "thing" is objective - therefore that subject is actually pure and formless, without attributes, without dimension in space or time.

That subject which you ARE has no individuality - the individuality comes as a feeling or sense, an accumulation of thoughts, memories, images and ideas.
These are all objective content - that subject-ivity or "I"-ness isn't any of those things at all.
This can be verified very easily in direct experience.

That "subject" is actually empty of any content - it is like a void or space - it cannot be seen or located - yet it is undeniably there.

Therefore the idea "ME" is a mixing of that pure subjectivity with objective content.
It is not the "ME" or individual which is SEEING.
That "ME" is objective content IN the seeing.

The only qualities of that subject or "I"-ness is that it is present - it is HERE - undeniably - and it is knowing or noticing or AWARE.
Another word for the "subject" is KNOWING.

Filter out the objective content which is being mixed up with the pure subject-"I".
Notice that the thought-"I" is a story of individuality - what that simple word "I" actually references is something which is not at all difficult to realize.
In fact it is so intimately known it is overlooked.

The subject-"I" and the totality are in fact not two separate things.
It is only when that "I"-ness is taken to be limited that the Universe of separate things is imagined.

Nothing is required to be what you are.
Only notice what you are, and what is imagined that you are.
The only bondage is this imagined idea that you are limited.
That idea is called "ME".

You are the one essence, taking itself to be bound due to misidentification with appearance.
Recognize the primacy of this "subjective" presence - there is nothing outside of it.
It IS all there is. ''

I am unable to answer that question for you, Mel.

Perhaps another can......

I subscribe to no single philosophy, though others will draw what perspectives they choose from my postings.

Observations only, do I try to share, recognizing that they may be flawed by the very perspective of my observing.

I subscribe to no single philosophy

'' Somewhere, out beyond all ideas of right and wrong-doing there is a field - I’ll meet you there ''

Life and substances are one and the same,
one and forever inseparable but different aspects however, of the one reality.
Life is a positive Electricity substance,negative life is a dynamic static.

Life is activity or spirit, and substance is form or matter, life is the father and begets, substance is the mother and conceives.
In addition to these two aspects of life and substance, there is still a third, life is a potential activity and need's a field of operation.






Look within you, be aware of what is going in your mind, search for the source of your thoughts and where they come from,
learn to make your mind peaceful, and you will start to be aware of your true essence and the consciousness beyond your mind.

The concept of nonduality is not a strange or weird idea.
It can be experienced and lived right here and now, no matter where you are,
and without attracting anybody's attention.
It is an inner state of consciousness, not an external state.
There's only ONE of you inside your head LW ... freedom and liberation, only at zero point...0 meaning no others.
Others are a known idea, inside your mind projected outward, into a reality,world, but it is illusion,
in reality there is nothing outside of consciousness.
