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)

Hummm, Ok, well I never would have guessed that!

But so I guess the real question then would be how this "pure energy" or energy without friction comes about, because it "takes care of the rest." But then that "pure frictionless energy" starts to sound like a god in the sky, because all one knows is the friction energy!

So your saying that it (pure energy) has something to do with understanding,... but then I would need some clarification on what that means? Or is that the wrong question, as it can not be clarified?

We can go into that. Yes, it sounds like the grace from god! How does the friction-free energy come about? Because, as we've said, it takes care of the other, no action is required.

  How does it happen? Let me watch first.

Ok, I've watched it, for days now, and I still can't tell how it comes about-that was the question.

  A slight pause in what one's doing and bum, it's there; sometimes we do things too quickly, in a rush; when I pause, the other is taking over. But I can't watch it directly: if I do, it's no longer there; so I can't watch it, but indirectly, its effects are seen: thoughts are going away, in an instant. There is no direct contact, but somehow the energy full of friction vanishes.

  On the other hand, if for another it doesn't come in an instant, I've suggested something: don't move your eyes.

"Space is the mind" is Krishnamurti's phrase, not mine.  Not to worry though, there is space in this universe for jackass comments also. 

As for the "I and the you", I have made it plainly clear that there is no such thing, except as an illusion in the fragmented mind. Are we clear? Great!

A question that was asked of the author of the above words was one of how 'it' happened, where the answer by the author describes what the 'it' was the question was about.

The author of those words above is describing a difference I would tag as an existential difference, where existential means that the difference can be known only by the one knowing it. If another, in reading that description thinks that they know, in an existential sense, of such a difference, then it might be possible to develop what might be called an existential language to communicate back and forth about that difference.

The difficulty in that sort of discussion is that when that 'it' is there, in place, or however it is to be described, thought comes to an end, which means that 'it' will not be described other than by the difference described that describes what it means.

In order to discuss that difference, the only avenue open to point to it is to cast that difference in terms of what one was doing that is no longer being done. This requires hanging out at that difference and watching what is going on in that movement in which the pause occurs.

I predict that the author will say that there is no such movement, and that because no one has shifted positions, and I will agree. The only question I have of the author is this: Why have you not developed the category of understanding to describe the difference that movement makes?

again, when your tar pit wont to become open after a nasty closingprocess, then you should better open it up till it becomes open again and attracts again an opener for anew nastyness, if not he would be attracted more by a coconut.

and if you stuck in the tar pit, try it with your own finger, because like attracts like and you can enjoy it simulanously within the feminine and masculine energy in the organism, which writes with the same finger under the id eden. therefore i asked, if you know what a soap is.
or you can take a bath in a whir-pool, where there is a separate swirl, where the openness turns on itself.
(and this of course that has nothing to do with thought, which is in the eye of the beholders whole and without a fragmentation, but it is a question of the survival)

if you re-open it one fragment after another, thats a lot of work, so it is better to take it as the whole from the organism, but thats not the question of reproduction;-)

There is no language possible to describe something which is beyond words, or even how it happens. Not is it relevant: it's either happening or not. If not, we can look at obstacles, instead of by-passing them and jump to what's 'beyond' them.
Two, what others think of the author can be flushed down the toilet, and three, what movement?!

Re: What makes thought vanish?

Good afternoon my fellow Angelino. let's take a gander at what you have just written.

<There is no language possible to describe something which is beyond words, or even how it happens. …>

And that is because you have not entertained the language of difference. You speak to that difference; to wit, "A slight pause in what one's doing and bum, it's there," but you will not put that difference into words.

I think that is because that pause brings words, and the world words create to an end. The world that imagination has created comes to an end and one is left holding that bag that cannot be thought about lest it come to an end.

Well, hell, let that bag fill with words, it will not disturb it if you are grounded in it. It's like get on the bag side of the pause and let the words carry you into an expression of that bag.

<… Not is it relevant: it's either happening or not. …>

And to use your tack here, who is to know that it is happening? See, the words add the noun just in using them.

<<… If not, we can look at obstacles, instead of by-passing them and jump to what's 'beyond' them. …>>

Ah, you are wonking. If I am the obstacle, what is beyond me, and who is going to jump?

<… Two, what others think of the author can be flushed down the toilet, …>

And why use a verb like flushed? What not say that it is not being entertained, and that because the noun that would entertain it is not brought out of the words as an identity?

<… and three, what movement?!>

The movement you have referred to above as jumping beyond the words, that of not entertaining the spirit of grammar that inhabits language, like flushing them down the crapper...

Re: What makes thought vanish?

I've said pause, and there's nothing else to say there: if I fill up that pause, then it's not a pause anymore. There's no need for further words here, I think. Pause.

  Apparently this pause is being missed by most.


  Now, the obstacle: it's not about jumping over it, but about looking at it, seeing it from all angles, including the one from which it is seen as an obstacle, an angle missed by many.
