Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

Re: Zen and K
I think you seem like a very nice guy with a lot of valuable experience to share and not the first clue of how to go about it.

Re: Zen and K
In New York,
the first deal
after 1.5 hours,
no conclusion
so many opinions
so many angles
but core of matter is hard to grasp
people with various experiences
but more on numbers and finance
and not the feel of what is happening at the shop floor
sounds familiar?
ah yes...
and that is the nature of how our mind works
BTW, my divorce is going well
as if we are good old friends
make me feel like...
not wanting to leave nice house, etc.
another decision, another journey
the life goes on.
Be well my friends!

Re: Zen and K
back in CA and ready to go to europe again.
I got a ipad2 in NYC, interesting device...
the deal i was working on for two months... i think we will find the result tomorrow
and after that my journey continues.. at least for a while
few interesting ideas - one is mainly related to Japan
the other related to ..... "improvement" "creativity"...
what a change in my life....
and at the same time,,,,,, in my personal life...
more changes....
back to the chaotic world of humans - as I thought I would go back..
I am deeply in it...
old pond...
sound of money
and people's greed
or is it?
and woman is there
is it a intrinsic nature of man?
never ending .. story

Re: Zen and K
Your random thoughts that pop in your head are of very little importance to anybody, including to yourself...

I just wonder how much of my thoughts are meaningful...

OK....
Is this me?
Am I the moment in which the word is written?
Am I the tear that travels my cheek?
Am I the passion by which I am driven?
Or Am I the truth my passion seeks?

haha, funny response, in the context of illusion, dream.
This notion that your a body on a planet in this apparently ultra large universe is absurd. Like think about it. WHERE ON EARTH WOULD THEY PUT THE DAMN THING. Read that I did. Got a chuckle too.

Re: Zen and K
I thought I am unidentified - just like I am not Japanese nor American. I do not feel belonging to anything...any organization, any religion, etc. (well.. however, often enough I feel I belong (am caught) to my desire... my thoughts/earthly desire - but that is hopefully more of exception)
Interestingly, I am paid a huge amount of money by doing nothing. I say few things or write this and that, travel occasionally, but most of the time I am not doing much. Perhaps I will be fired soon :-) (However, when there is a problem that is important which I see it crucially important and I cannot resolve, I may just rest and be with the problem - being empty -- meaning, doing nothing and let go, accept everything as is) I rest and do not think... (well, like processing koan) By the way, it does not make sense if I do something other people are good at. To me, it is almost the same as doing something machine can do.
So, I think intelligence is something to do with going beyond - beyond the constraints (of mind and earthly desire).
Then, looking around, I suddenly found this:
Bohm: Nothingness is the same as freedom, because so long as a thing is a thing, it is not free.
K: Yes, therefore, truth is nothingness - not a thing. The action of nothingness, which is intelligence in the field of reality - that intelligence being free and all the rest of it - operates in reality without distortion. - p 21 The limits of thought
I like it!
