Thread: Perspective's of Perception

Not bad. Takes you a little while to get warmed up, but you are pretty well-spoken considering the nebulous topic. I would probably consider making the background music a tiny bit softer while you are talking, since you are fairly soft-spoken.

Anyone ever tell you that you look a little bit like Guy Pearce?

I wanted the background music as a way of having to make the listener really focus to hear the truth within.

I wanted to steer random chaotic thinkers away from it, so those critical of dimly lit rooms, my shirt being off, the music being too loud, etc... would most likely not have anything substantive to bring to the table...

However, after finalizing it I wished it to be just a bit lower myself, too. The problem was when I lowered it the background static becomes the problem.

I understand that, but in my case at least it is working against your purpose. Being both ADD and having a highly musical brain, it is sometimes very difficult for me to tune in (I know, my problem). Still, it's not a huge deal, I was just giving some minor critique on the presentation.

Ah... the old signal-to-noise problem. I am very familiar with it! The best way to solve this problem is to make sure your signal is as loud as possible without distorting. You can probably fix this by making sure the microphone is as close as possible to you, and/or speaking more loudly.

Also, if you have a means of applying EQ to the music, try lowering the mid-range, which is where it typically competes with human voice clarity. A 3db dip at about 1000hz usually does the trick quite well. The difference in levels will not be noticeable at all, but the voice will gain greatly in clarity, and the music would still mask the background noise. You can probably find a freeware program that can do this for you, if you don't already have something.

What program are you using to edit video?

I was just using an internal built in mic... I'm kind of drunk and getting out a recording mic seemed a bit over the top... hehe...

I'm using iMovie for the editing. I have Logic studio but I don't see the point in editing the hell out of something when I've been drinking... hehe

Very nice vid. What do you mean with "everyone else is you" tho? Think about it? I don't get that part, care to elaborate? :p

A tree apples... just like a planet peoples...

Each apple is indistinguishable from the next... They both... are...

Each person is indistinguishable from the next... They both... are...

The objects that seemingly bombard you throughout life seem to make things different, but who you really are on the inside always remains the same for everyone at all times...

An apple's essence never changes... No matter how bruised it gets it never stops being an apple...

A person's essence never changes... No matter how bruised they get they never stop being a person...

The swirling objects around us seemingly change... when it's just a simple change of our own mind which brings about the supposed change...

Our true essence has and always will remain the same...

That is, if you look from the grand perspective...

Good topic; goes well with a video of yourself, Solskye.

Generally, one will walk through life with infinite personal reputations. Which one is most understood and truthful? Only your own perspective of yourself - but even then, do you know yourSelf? You are not this body.

All those who do not experience God, know nothing. They only know "about" things. Until one unites with God, one Knows everything because one realizes one Is everything. In retrospect to the Enlightened ones, all opinions are useless and false, because the Truth is not dependent on opinion/perspective.

All labels of separation which serve no purpose... They help box us into different levels and labels of comfortability...

Anyway, Here's my first freestyle youtube video about this...


Discuss.

How do you learn this stuff? i really need to learn alittle so i can understand better.

I disagree. (I'll leave it there no need for this to be a religious debate.)

I don't mind. (I'll leave it there no need for this to be a religious debate it isn't even religious.)

You learn it from thinking introspectively long enough...

Trace the source of who you are back to it's root and you'll find everyone is the same, it's only chance and experience that make us seemingly different.

That's why you can't really hate another individual. If you were born into their body, under their circumstances, and their experiences you would essentially be them. It's the objects around us bombarding us at all times that forge our minds into who and what we seemingly are... you can't blame the ghost in the machine complex of our nature for what it seemingly becomes, because we all share the same ghost in the machine.

A closed loop

Like a serpent biting its tail

Spinning around

Creating a whirlpool

Constantly pulling at one

Drawing them back into it, this perpetual trapping

Pulling at perception

From a scientific perspective...
The universe is made up of ideas. It is only as complex as what we are willing to investigate. What we do not know or cannot figure out does not exist.

As far as the scientific perspective is concerned, the qualitative aspect of the mind is an abstraction they wish they could just round off, or would simply go away. The paradox of this mindset being, that without the mind they wouldn't ever be able to question, perceive, or conceive of any of the ideas they claim to objectively observe.

Scientific reasoning/purpose is abstraction in itself.

The dog chases its tail.

Without the mind, it is not even necessary; All Is Known.

Nice post count...

Yes


What they do not realize is that without the mind the "Seeing" continues on...

Without mind, there is no dissecting, no differentiating, no labeling....

All that is "seen" is One

Without the mind, all there is, is simple one pointed Awareness


The mind, even this mind behind this writing, arises upon the awareness

One can say "I see" or "I observed this or that of the Awareness or "Seeing"

Yet, the "I" is but only a mirror

A mirror through which the One recognizes itSelf

Surprisingly enough, the day I was born in the mayan calendar happens to be that of a white galactic mirror...



PM for link...

What you are saying is that experience is what makes your personality. I'd say you're reaching. We have a brain, you know? And, lucky for us, they're all composed differently.

Ask someone suffering from psychosis. Just kidding.


Say, babies. Some come out crying, some don't. Hey, they don't have much for experience, yet they all act differently. Care to explain that one?

it's probably from different experiences in the womb that they come out differently. Mothers don't do the exact same activities, or eat the exact same foods, or have exactly the same sleeping patterns, so why would you expect babies to all be the same?

I think what we've experienced IS what determines our personality / who we think we are. And that if you were to exactly replicate every experience in someone's life, with none of your own prior experiences, you would be them. As far as psychosis or other psychological disorders are concerned, they add an entirely different perspective on things, as well as new experiences. Because of the chaotic nature of the universe, it is impossible for one person's life experiences to be exactly the same as another person's, which results in everyone being different people. It's interesting to think about how I could've ended up being completely different given different circumstances, and whatever happens the future will inevitably change me as well.

You are forged like a sword in the fire...

The fire swirling around you is also the part of you giving your sword shape, direction, and purpose...

Without realization of that fire enough to control it's heat... you cannot know what shape your sword will be...

Having the control to forge a sword to the sharpness of having the ability to pierce through the furnace of reality that imprisons it in it's own blinding flame is quite a feat...

Try it sometime. Piercing through reality is fun...
