Philosophical Speculations

if one believes that one's 'self' is a living extension/expression of All -Creating / Ever -Flowing Brahman, one's thinking and choice/decision-based actions will be calm/secure/easy-flowing/seemingly-happening-without- personal -'effort'/at-' home '-among-others/etc. I would like to ask you someth...

In my language 'attention' is huomio , and to 'take into consideration' is to ottaa huomioon . The still aspect of attention grows by the moving aspect bringing more content and context into attention, revealing new relations, old trauma etc., feeding positive loops and soothing and releasing negat...

Dana hits the point here. In a similar sense, here: Society could be less predatory if people got over the illusion of free will. words like "could be ... if ..." should have absolutely no meaning if everything is predetermined at the Big Bang. But anyway. The problem is of completely diff...

Attention on some general level of experience is constantly moving. The experiment suggested was not to keep attending some thought-object, but to "chase" attention itself with attention. Is it possible to "directly" catch attention so that it stops moving and stays still or imm...

Can you explain what you mean?

Oh, attention and attending attention... can attention catch attention?! Can a hand draw a picture of "itself drawing itself"? :) https://previews.123rf.com/images/psychoshadowmaker/psychoshadowmaker1602/psychoshadowmaker160200097/54540658-human-hands-drawing-itself-in-a-album-on-a-wooden...

It seems my question should have been, what else have you written that I can read? Or, if not much else yet, can you keep writing these penetrating and illuminating articles once a day, a week, or whatever is best for you? No, I haven't written anything.
