Currently practicing WILD. I quote Kaniaz who said it best: "The point of WILD is to piss me off". Though, I have not given up, far from it.
I'm not 'happy' by societal definitions of the word. The large majority throw around that word like they throw around the word, love. Pretty much like it's going out of style. No one really knows what that word means, nor do they know what the word 'self' means. While this distraction is fun and everything, it's not true happiness. True happiness, like love, is found away from existence, away from this distraction, and within yourself. True happiness and love come from a love of 'self', and nothing else. |

I've told you this before. You're missing the meaning of life and focusing fully on the meaning of existence. Any given life such as this one is different from the whole of existence. We aren't in this given life now to think back on ultimate existence and sulk over nothing having meaning. That's what you're missing - the meaning. |
|
There is no meaning to it, that's just it. We create meaning where there is none in order to keep ourselves entertained. Even me realizing that, is as equally pointless as you thinking there is all this deep-seated meaning. There simply is no point. |

I view my time spent in the current incarnation as simply taking a vacation. It is very much like the much wished for talent of total dream control. Once you obtain dream omnipotence it becomes very boring over time, such as 35 years worth. The irony is that once you reach that state you then spend time trying NOT to control your dreams. It is at that point that the beauty of randomness is truly revealed and fully appreciated. The hilarious aspect is that the destination that you were originally seeking ends up being right were you started. It is the experience of the journey(s) that becomes the reward. We desperately seek that which we already possess. A grand joke that we play on ourselves, not out of cruelty, but rather out of necessity. |

What a long, strange trip it's been.
I definitely feel you on that one. Well said. |

I also completely agree with the above post. |

Oh, for blazes sake. If you all don't see the meaning of life in the concept of society then what are you still doing alive? |
|
Insulting? Only a person who sees the meaning of life in human society could be insulted by a differing opinion. Seriously, society is the meaning of life? Wow, dude. |

The other day, while I was clearing my mind and meditating I was realizing that since we can't really confirm anything existing outside of ourselves, how can we confirm or truely understand the idea of movement? Especially, if there really isn't any separation between anything? We readily accept the current laws of physics that govern our rock without question, but we really don't understand the idea of movement or speed. Do you really think you are driving at 60mph because the car says so? Let's think about speed and movement on a grand scale and ask ourselves this question again... |

Nice input! I've been thinking about that too. It's strange we don't even feel the slightest that we are not moving so extremely fast, though |

We're born into it. Just as a baby fast asleep wouldn't be able to comprehend or perceive a plane in mid flight if it were to wake up for the in-flight meal. |

Just joining after five pages of... I'm not sure what all this has been yet, really. But it's surprisingly orderly. |

I wasn't complaining or saying something is more worthwhile, so I really don't see where you misconstrued my thoughts as such. |

I think you should take your philosophy one step further. You end on the note, "ultimately, there's no right context to the universe, it's essentially meaningless." But I personally see as much teleology and betrayal of an assumed purpose in claiming that the universe is purposeless as I see in claiming that it's going somewhere, or many places, or backwards, or in on itself, or in any other direction or for any other end-goal imaginable. It's the same assumption of wisdom you can't have, and saying we're going nowhere is still an assertion that we're moving in some sort of direction, even if it's a nonexistent. |

I suppose when you think with an ego (not that I'm not guilty of that sometimes) you would have to think in terms of one method of thinking being better than the other. But, I simply don't think in those terms (most of the time). I am not telling people how to think or live but rather to realize that their way is not only an inevitable one, but necessary. It's futile to fight the current you created or didn't create for your 'self'. Now, if you also realize yourself as that current you can allow your 'self' to be swept with the infinite flow. |

I find the small things the only ones worth dealing with, day-to-day. |

i am not you . it is lonely though . but monks that all look like they are the same light , exactly, they tripping, we all have the same light plus our self. that why i rap bout flowers and homeboy rap bout bees. um yeah iv thought like you, but look at girls , girls know more. we like god, but we aint . philosophies in general suck, it takes all that clear light that every one rappin about, and it turns it into a maze. |
|
yeah it does seem like somthing is about to happen. good+evil+time+ selfactualization and high speed conections +fate+ chance+ randomness+ and love = somthing big . |
|
As unusually as that is worded...it's exactly my point. |
|
You completely lost me with your lack of organized thought, but if your point was to convey the complete randomness and pointlessness of it all then I agree with you! If not, I think you need to spend more time getting your thoughts together before you post in a thread let alone a philosophy one. I appreciate the effort, though. |
