Trick or treat?

What I meant to say is that sometimes the need to speak stems from a lack, and silence may indicate the fullness of the inner world. But we are normative people so we talk. I guess what this guy is aiming for is called "flow." And flow is really an interesting phenomenon of merging with reality. A basketball player with a game, a pianist with a melody etc. A phenomenon that actually occurs when thinking and self are relaxed, making room for the quick instinct, which actually increases our ability. At the same time I do not think it indicates that reality is instinctive but point to our limitation of perceiving it with our limited intellect.Lou Gold wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 5:55 pm
Exactly!
Martial art Aikido founder Ueshiba said something like, "I have placed myself in harmony with the Universe. The mere thought of attacking me will defeat the attacker. I call this harmony Love." It may be that silence does not work because it wins but because it transcends (lets go of) winning.

I do not see how this has to do with being "sinners."Lou Gold wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 9:14 pmShaibei wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 8:59 pmWhat I meant to say is that sometimes the need to speak stems from a lack, and silence may indicate the fullness of the inner world.

Which is true for the perspective that we are sinners who have missed the mark, a widespread pov. One might even argue that it is the God-given Null Hypothesis underpinning scientific inquiry.
I heard that the little girl with the most convincing costume was called Maya. Didn't you see her, when you stood in the doorway?Soul_of_Shu wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 8:29 pm Hoping to see a convincing heyoka trickster costume first
My understanding is that in old Hebrew 'sin' means to 'miss the target' -- to err. Trial-and-Error is essential to investigation. Most experiments in evolution (mutations) and in science simply delete errors or stuff that doesn't 'work'. The reason elders are considered wiser than kids is more mistakes.Shaibei wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 9:21 pmI do not see how this has to do with being "sinners."Lou Gold wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 9:14 pmShaibei wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 8:59 pm
