Ah, the juicy details...:-)



Hi willy....

I think 'stage-setting' is doomed to failure before it begins

leave the limelight, the stagefright
this orchestra has no score

better to wander in the wilderness
marvel at footprints made by a beast you've never seen

An idiotic question!

What would happen if you lost your ability to think in terms of a future?

well surely there would not be a question to answer, would there?

What would we do with ourselves then?!

I'm sorry, I'm not getting this "future" thing...my vocabulary seems to have gone beyond. :-)

Thanks beanz:

Same idiotic question; different context!

Assume a creature that has the ability to imagine its *what was* as though it were the history of a real entity, and that that imagined identity *is* the one that turns around to face its future.

What would happen if that identity lost its ability to think in terms of a future?

it would gather no nuts

An odd sort of question that evens itself out in the answer: What does it mean, to start from scratch?

It means that one gets to begin at the beginning, again, and this time, take oneself apart in the reverse order that one's self was put together.

This inside-out feat allows that one to become the proud owner of a circus act; a one-trick dog & pony show, where a dog, perched precariously on the back of a spirited pony running in circles around the center ring of the big top whilst each time around said same pony passes under a flaming ring of fire through said ring that that precariously perched pooch leaps with alacrity though and lands again on the back of said same pony.

Of course, I had the chance to pick up the UF franchise and made a one on one swap. Get your 6-pack the soonest!

Pablo sez: "In honor of Willy I offer not a wonk, but a scherzo.

I have a key, which if I find and wield rightly, will open a door to my beyond.

Place yourself in the above I and repeat until nothing remains: no key, no door, no beyond, no I."

& willy, thankful for the chance to wonk, wonks:

To acquire a beyond, first, draw a circle around where you find yourself, and then forget that you have drawn that circle.

There are now two ways out; the first being seeing that the circle around you was your doing, and the second being to find yourself out of the circle by losing yourself.

There are different ways to lose yourself; one being to lose yourself in a doing, another is to give yourself to another, and yet another could be to find a new self that is out of the circle. The latter, of course, is the transcendental out.

Oh well, the orthogonal strikes again! Where you posit a trapped, I posit the trap that creates the trapped. If one is the trap, and my shtick carries that premise, the only way out is to discover that in seeing how it is created, the trap, and the trapped, negate in the same moment.

I say that the insight into this matter of self is always that whole negation, but that it may take some time to work through its resetting because of conditioning, or the inertia that trap/trapped carries with it.

Yep, which expresses our difference rather neatly, I think.
