    Re: no man is an island-get connected

    That's a good remark Michael;

    I see perception/consciousness as an interaction; and I think intention is the prime mover of it. I think it's just everywhere, just like interaction is everywhere.

    I think the ultimate intention is unreachable, because we're all part of it.

    I think the intention is to interact/to be.

    An interaction might stop; but the ultimate interaction never does.

    Absolutely spot on there David,death is another word for change,growth,expansion,etc,
    what dies are our old ideas,to be replaced by newer ones,that reflect our growing under-
    -standing of perceptual reality.

    Old ideas do not appear to be dying, not on this planet at least. I would like to agree with you mk but we seem to be stuck in old ideas. We are stuck in a primitive mythological worshiping society that caters to superstitious belief. We need new ideas. We need a new way of thinking, believing, living. We need to take our consciousness to a mature level. Our technology is advancing faster than our mental behavior. Many of us have opened our minds to new ideas and discarded the old ones but not enough of us are able to convince the theologians to stop teaching it's followers the old ways of thinking. Everyone on this planet has to move to the next level of consciousness in order to replace the old with the new ways of thinking.

    Re: no man is an island-get connected

    I apologize pulling away the attention of your post Chazzysaw;

    I also just want to say that when I think about connection, I also think about tectonic plates and shifting continents.
    (the continents once fitted together).

    I'm also thinking about the weather and the butterfly-effect.

    What we are doing now, the internet; we are connected to kind of a server, and we're communicating and interacting. We can just play a game with eachother on a large distance. We can both use VR.

    If no event in the future would stop this connective evolution; the quality of the connections we can make now, would even increase. Or would an event stop or delay it?

    Can we play some kind of game, our brains connected to it, and cause some kind of competitive 'telekinesis'?

    I think we should be able to control for example the motion of a spacecraft with our brain.

    (Talk about 'the observator influences the observation').

    When an astronaut would be on Mars, and you would try to influence him this way, with the technology we have know, it won't happen instantly.

    Without being connected to life,being isolated from others,is in effect being dead!There are many walking dead within this word,just look into their souless eyes and see for yourself.

    Connecting to life is about realization and an understanding of the universal inherit law
    of inclusivity,when we understand this simple,yet profound truth,all lonliness and isolation
    fade away,you feel part of a homogenous whole,with equal value to all aspects of it.
