    Re: am I thick because I dont understand

    Wouldn't The T.o.E. present more accurately descript as... "The Principle of Oneness"?

    History is repleat with the brilliant clarity of 'something' working through the relative mind of mankind having attempted this...

    This "desire" has been a long standing one...

    The ToE that can be spoken is not The Toe.

    The lock upon my garden gates a snail,
    That's what it is
    The lock upon my garden gate's a snail,
    That's what it is

    First there is a mountain,
    Then there is no mountain,
    Then there is!

    The caterpillar sheds his skin,
    To find the butterfly within
    Caterpillar sheds his skin,
    To find the butterfly within

    First there is a mountain,
    Then there is no mountain,
    Then there is!
    First there is a mountain
    Then there is no mountain!

    Oh Juanita,
    Oh Juanita,
    Oh Juanita, I called your name

    Oh, the snow will be a blinding sight to see
    As it lies on yonder hillside

    Lock upon my garden gate's a snail,
    That's what it is
    The lock upon my garden gate's a snail,
    That's what it is

    Caterpillar sheds his skin
    To find a butterfly within
    The caterpillar sheds his skin,
    To find the butterfly within

    (everybody everybody!)
    Ah, my-my.

    First there is a mountain,
    then there is no mountain,
    then there is.
    First there is a mountain,
    then there is no mountain,
    then there is!
    First there is a mountain,
    then there is no mountain,
    then there is.
    First there is a mountain,
    then there is no mountain,
    then there is!
    First there is a mountain

    Re: am I thick because I dont understand

    Hi Arthur,
    The most fundamental of questions is who are we and why are we here.
    As Theorums aren't short and sweet per our desires.
    They can be somewhat lengthy and somewhat bitter in contrast to our anticipated [in-tension] expectations...

    These two primary questions have begun many on their "quest".

    The answer(s) comes about by correctly formulating [the more concise and precise the better...preferably yes/no]the question(s)...since we all have the inherrent capacity to formulate the question...the answer also comes from a similar source...when revealed...
    not always relatively discript...it may an image or any such thing as might appear in your "imagination' as creativity uses the closest "vehicle" to it for expression...in most instances...that is a "still-mind"...

    the less it has got to work on...the more it has to work with...so it is said in Buddhism...continually... to "Polish ones mirror...or psyche...as such"

    call that an oracle if it works for you...shining like a refecting mirror...as opposed to some mechanical "star-gate" or some-thing...we must necessarily speak of these things metaphorically...as in a 'conditioned-mind' there is too much resistance for it to be 'grasp' out of the incessant functioning of the mind which is usually in over-drive..."psycho-babbling/discerning and chattering...like loose valves in our heads..."

If I understood it would it show why my car wont start??



    in hope...arthur

    Arthur, your car won't start because the whatmacallit is loose.
    You have to adjust the figamagig.
    Then it will go from here to there
    as the then and the when of movement (time).

    And sometimes the nut behind the steering wheel is loose (not you, Arthur).
