In this site, which is not mine and I did not write, you can find a powerful tool for meditation. The words are an illusion for the mind, and that's enough, but knowing how to use and able to read between the lines to see through and can lead to a deeper understanding. All the lessons of the past here are revised, expanded and corrected! All the light of new scientific discoveries and in-depth interaction with all beings in all parts of the world.

What Is The Journey Of The Mind?

All the apparently separate minds tend to the Universal mind; how do they do this, if not through the creation of a reality which does not correspond to the thought of the subject or to the thought of the object? An idea, concept or thought of Reality, cannot be Reality; it is only the attempt of a system that, by investigating Reality through go-betweens (the five senses plus the brain) proposes a new event, thought, then another event, the word, then another event, listening, then another event, comprehension, then re-elaboration within the listener. And so on...
Where is Reality? Certainly, it lies in the innumerable paths which are illusory yet seem real.

Peepin' through the knot-hole
of grandpa's wooden leg,
Who'll wind the clock when I'm gone?
Go get the ax
There's a flea in Lizzie's ear,
For a boy's best friend is his mother.

Peepin' through the knot-hole
of grandpa's wooden leg,
Why do they build the shore so near the ocean?
Who cut the sleeves
Out of dear old daddy's vest,
And dug up Fido's bones to build the sewer?

A horsey stood around,
With his feet upon the ground,
Oh, who will wind the clock when I'm gone?
Go get the ax,
There's a fly on Lizzie's ear,
But a boy's best friend is his mother.

I fell from a window,
A second-story window,
I caught my eyebrow on the window-sill.
The cellar is behind the door,
Mary's room is behind the ax,
But a boy's best friend is his mother

All i can think of lately when posts like this get put up, well a large man stumbling through the forest singing it anyway. ( damn you MST3K)

The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room and talk to yourself as you die.
Life is a short, warm moment. And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try. In the twinkling of an eye.
Eighty years, with luck, or even less

you are constructing a unique reality within yourself, because in your profundity, in your mind, you are alone...with yourself.

Is there a reality in which these two statements aren't irreconcilable?

I thought the phrase "apparently separate minds" fit perfectly into solipsism.

Solipsism doesn't allow for the existence of any separate minds, let alone all of them working at once to create some kind of overarching godhead.

For the record, I don't believe the writer actually meant that. I don't believe the writer had any idea what he was talking about. I believe that you and I, right now, are giving this essay more attention than the writer did. And I believe such attention is unwarranted.

"I don't believe in devils, I don't believe in demons. I only believe in you."

Which is, when you think about it, probably the most insulting Yes lyric ever written by Jon Anderson. And probably more pertinent to real life than the OP.
 
Can somebody please tell me wth a "universal mind" or consciousness is?!?!? :mad:

"Illusion" hits it nicely, I think. I mean, as a description of your "deeper understanding" etc.


Just reading between the lines, you know ... ;)
