MIND AS MIRROR - BECAUSE IMAGE IS MIRRORED BEFORE LIGHT

The mind is a mirror. The world for oneself is the mind for oneself. The two are one. One is not two.

What is projected onto the mirror will be reflected from the mirror. Experience reflects outward from what was inward.

Life is an illusion of mind. There are no tangibles. Instead, there are images.

Images result from prior projections. Projections are finite, while the source of projections is infinite.

Reflections began at one time and have continued until now. They are ever unfolding. Nothing can be new.

Things can only be a reflection of a prior projection. Reflection and refraction are concepts for understanding.

Possibilities are finite. Time is non-existent and empty. Reality exists in the source of light. Darkness comes before light and light follows darkness. The reverse is true for things in nature. Here, light is refracted.

Images are reflected. Perpetually, reflection increases and decreases. But there is balance.

The ultimate aim is to return all light to its source. Yet, when this occurs, there will be void. When the source removes itself from the scope of being, there will be nothing.

Everything is nothing except that which is all. All is not divisible, but can be viewed infinitely. By light unfolding and folding the balance is maintained.

One should see this in one’s life. One can bring about good things, through good actions. Through actions that benefit others, one derives benefit for oneself.

The image is the reflection. The image has infinite potential. Occurrence illuminates, where 

 potential is harnessed.

The Speculative Cynic

By: Zack Steel

Let us ponder collective intentionality, and the power of effectiveness; for causative change, in a revealed domain. Let us postulate an integrated system that operates with precise synchronicity and spans the entire construct on levels. Let us further query into the interconnectedness of mind, collective unconscious and the wisdom that is the bridge which joins these modes. Finally, let us delve into the ability to perceive with clarity through the screens of fabrication and concealment that morph, distort and convolute the oneness into multiplicity.

            Collective intentionality has the power to shape reality and to effect change through causation, only within a revealed domain. For intentionality defines the shape and structure of reality. Through an agreement the perceived and perceivable are able to be viewed. The colors, voids, defined terms and modes of expression exist through the collective intentional agreement. Perception with the domain is variably different from perceptiveness beyond it. For at each level the domain is invariably modified in a state of flux.  Through the flux change there is the potential for change through a joint intentionality of the collective whole.

            The integrated system that operates with precise synchronicity and spans the entire construct on levels is the modality which is imbedded within level of the ultimate construct, within which all of the levels are contained. The possibility for integration of the system and its operation of synchronicity is possible through the collective intentionality as whole, without any division. A perceived division is subjective, but does not exist for the objective perspective, except as an illusion of mind.

            A query into the interconnectedness of Mind, collective unconscious and the wisdom that is the bridge, which joins these modes will provide for enlightenment of the obscured. The interconnectedness of Mind is facilitated through wisdom. The sharing of wisdom through a joint modality provides for illumination for the collective unconscious and the spanned Mind which is interconnected among all members who connect to the portal of the modality through the level of wisdom which has been defined. A definition for the modality of the wisdom required at the precise level for integration was established at the joining of the collective interconnected Mind and exists in a defined state within the construct. But beyond the construct into various levels it exists in a state of flux that is shaped by the members as permitted within the defined parameters for morphing.

            The ability to perceive with clarity through the screens of fabrication and concealment that morph, distort and convolute the oneness into multiplicity is the specific goal. This process can be commenced upon through removing the screens of fabrication by focusing the graspable levels of light and focusing the light with high intensity into opaque screens. This will provide for enhanced perception and conversion of the screens into portals and vessels for further encapsulation of the light. In the absence of the focused light perception is convoluted to the point of abstraction. Through the obscuration of the light there is initiated a process morphing and distortion.

Frequency of Change - Or Change of Frequency?  

By: Zack Steel 

Do we feel our soul and do we understand how it encompasses and permeates us? Is speech more of a physical or spiritual activity? When we speak we are utilizing various components of our physicality, from our lungs, our mouth numerous other physical components. But the words we say are not just vibrations effecting the displacement of air. Our words are expressions of our ideas. 

            Without ideas there would perhaps be no state of existence. We are primarily our mind. The mind supervenes the brain. The brain process ideas and in turn we communicate these ideas to other people through speech and by writing, among other modalities. 

            When we speak we bring out our soul into the world. This in turn shapes the world and develops it. Our ideas and our speech surely have the greatest ability to effect change in the world. Is this process influential because we live in more of a spiritual reality than a physical one? 

            Before we dismiss this postulation, let us consider that we know that all matter is composed of molecules or on more focused level of quarks – particles carrying an electrical charge. Electricity is a channeled form of energy. We are likewise channels or vessels for the channeled energy of our soul.

How To Think

By: Zack Steel

Recently I was speaking with my friend about thinking. It might seem like a strange topic and slightly odd. But, even while not being an official Philosopher, I felt I could contribute to this discussion in a thoughtful way.

            I had just completed reading a book specifically about thinking. Having read this book numerous times, I am slowly beginning to understand how to think. Is it an obvious process that everyone knows how to postulate an idea and then they consider that they have thought? Not exactly correct. On the average, it might seem that thought processes begin through the pursuit of knowledge. Then, once one has attained that knowledge, one will make an effort to understand the knowledge and thereby possibly come to understand the knowledge. Then one will gain wisdom from having the understanding of the knowledge and use this wisdom to learn and grow through acquiring additional knowledge.  This is one possible method for thinking.

            But there is another perspective on the thinking process and its development. What if we first suppose that one should first focus on refining our faculty of thought and our thinking processes? Then having achieved this goal, we will we strive to develop wisdom and refine our faculty of thought. Through having developed our ability to develop wisdom and having refined our faculty of thought, we will come to understand our own process of thinking and realize how we acquire knowledge within our brain and within our being. Thereafter we can now strive to acquire knowledge and be able to utilize the knowledge practically.

            There is clearly an Internet and it seems to be a vast database of inter-connected systems (servers & ports), housing and referring massive amount of information (data) and routing it to various search engines. Is it a bizarre postulation that perhaps the real Internet is really the world as a whole in which we exist? That perhaps we are the portals, servers connected to various ports, comprising a network and receiving and distributing data to the world through our very existence.

            Just through our perceiving, processing, thinking, refining, developing & redistributing data we are being shaped and shaping the construct – the world.

            It is not so important what we search for on the internet or what great information it contains. It is of greatest importance how we interact with the data; and simultaneously are the data, which powers the construct of which we are simultaneously composed.

Humor- Is It Funny? 

By: Zack Steel

Jokes are funny. Cynicism can be moderately humorous too! But what makes us laugh at humor? Perhaps we have a desire to laugh - we only need a reason. With less face-to-face communication, we appreciate any sense of humor, in which we can delight.

            Smiling faces and smiley faces of all varieties, with winks and kisses are all the buzz online and on your communication device. But perhaps, all of this texting / messaging, binging, pinging and other ”–inging” is preventing clear communication. So any opportunity to smile face-to-face, with others, is surely a welcomed opportunity. A good joke is the best way to start the day, or at anytime. 

            But what is it about good joke that causes us to chuckle or laugh? Is it the timing of the joke?  Is it the delivery, or the concluding phrase, which makes us smirk, smile or feel an internal tickle that will likely result in laughter?

            Maybe our response to the humor-gaining methods is related our mood. Or maybe, our response to the stimulus - the comedian telling anecdotes or jokes - depends on the wit and sass of the comic. Why is it that some comedians start of their bit by insulting the audience? Is this so that whatever they say next, will be perceived as better than initial insult and thereby be considered funny?

            Do the comedian’s jokes even need too be funny? Some comics use swearing, cursing, mocking and negative statements and phrases to get a laugh from the audience. Do these comics deliver their bit in this way, because they believe that the audience is desperate to release stress and tension? Needing a good laugh so dearly, that just about anything the comedian says will generate at least a smirk? Can a smile bring about laughter?

            What about Laughter Yoga? This is a fun method – if I am correct in my understanding – where a group of people sit in a circle, and smile at one another, until they all begin to laugh. No jokes, puns, innuendos, insults, negativity or any other “silly stuff”. But all of the group members eventually begin to laugh, and share in the collective fun, without a word being uttered.

            Speaking of group laughter, what about improvisational comedy skits, with role-playing. This is great spontaneous fun? What about Theatre Sports for engaging humor? In this system of interactive comedy, the audience members are invited to participate in the skit. But each chosen participant will need to improvise their role and their lines? Surely, this is great fun. In this method, the audience members are creating the laughing process for themselves while having great fun. Funny stuff : )
