Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi Scott my love, Clarity please on your response: >> " These questions only occur can only occur and can only be *answered* by a reflected self ME. >> >>However in saying that, it is up to YOU to explore your personal meaning of your own life, we cannot really ask another to derive our own personal meaning for our own lives. Donny: I've observed that we can't help but have other people derive our own personal meaning for our own lives. They are interwoven like the threads of a cloth and there really is no need to ask, it shows up in the mirror weather we ask or not. We have the ability to either see it and accept it or not see it, thereby rejecting it. >>But, life takes us by the hand every single moment of our lives and teaches us, we have but to listen and not be so distorted by the static ( that we create ) to miss the message. Donny: Isn't that statement in conflict with your above paragraph? >>*Don't smudge the painting half way through if you are not happy with the results so far* Donny: isn't that just another agenda and objective of the " thinking ( and bound ) ME. " What does it really matter if the personsmudges the painting or not. Why not just throw the painting out entirely? Isn't that another 'rule' set up by the " bound/altered me " ? Is it not the " bound me " that has the agenda for the painting? Maybe the one observing the picture doesn't really care one way or the other – maybe it just waits to see what the " bound me " is going to produce next, without any particular caring one way or the other. :-) :-) :-) Pete, my dear love, although I don't care if Alberto uses 1 million smiley faces on his messages, why should it matter? Doesn't an obsession to have someone change their writing style to accommodate my needs represent yet another control factor and a " bound me " ? A need to conform things to our own idea of what the picture should look like, or how it should fit into our own ideas of comfort zone, one in which we've decided works well and we would like all to use it? Yes, we all seem to agree that we paint our own lives/realities based on what our ideas our, and these individually combine to make up a world society. And, at the very base of it there is nothing but a blank canvas on which to paint. Perhaps I am just physically playing out someone else's game, because they don't want to take on the body, even if it is illusion. The game wouldn't play out quite this way if there wasn't a " bound me " , an " altered me " . So, I experience all these interest things? Why...because I can, and it's something to do. Experiencing new and different things is like a celestial t.v. sitcom, or sometimes a drama, or sometimes a comedy, or sometimes a sci-fi movie, and sometimes a romance. One things for sure, without a bound and altered 'me', there wouldn't be a show, there wouldn't be a picture. I love you dearly, and you have made me smile a thousand times. I've tried crying, but it seems to get my face wet and makes my nose run right over the place where I ingest the food. Not sure who thought up the body design here, but we all seem to accept it. :-) (shock and awe) I'm a bit of a pixie aren't I !! ahaaa, and I carry a sturdy big stick too. Much love, ~*~ Donny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi again Donny, >> " These questions only occur can only occur and can only be *answered* by a reflected self ME. >> >>However in saying that, it is up to YOU to explore your personal meaning of your own life, we cannot really ask another to derive our own personal meaning for our own lives. >>>>>Donny: I've observed that we can't help but have other people derive our own personal meaning for our own lives. They are interwoven like the threads of a cloth and there really is no need to ask, it shows up in the mirror weather we ask or not. We have the ability to either see it and accept it or not see it, thereby rejecting it.>>>> Yes, we listen to others we interact with others, and the world, we learn, we listen to teachers and so on. But it is only we that can develop our own meaning for our own lives. The meaning that you derive from your life could be the result of any of the above and could come from personal discovery or a combination of both and so on, but it is you and you only that decides what part you play and what is important to you and how you derive meaning within yourself, no-one can tell you what you must do with your life, you are the determiner of this. >>But, life takes us by the hand every single moment of our lives and teaches us, we have but to listen and not be so distorted by the static ( that we create ) to miss the message. >>>>Donny: Isn't that statement in conflict with your above paragraph?>>>> Part of life and part of deriving meaning is learning lessons. If you don't *listen* to what life is saying you miss the cues and repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Part of learning the lesson is recognizing what is being taught. >>*Don't smudge the painting half way through if you are not happy with the results so far* >>Donny: isn't that just another agenda and objective of the " thinking ( and bound ) ME. " >>> Yes, a ME exists up until the time of the physical death ( not including reincarnation ) unless you plan on vanishing in a puff of smoke This applies to all of us, every reflected self ME up until the physical death determines the value and meaning of their own life in ways unique to themselves and it is only they that can do this. >>>>What does it really matter if the personsmudges the painting or not. Why not just throw the painting out entirely? Isn't that another 'rule' set up by the " bound/altered me " ?Is it not the " bound me " that has the agenda for the painting? Maybe the one observing the picture doesn't really care one way or the other Emaybe it just waits to see what the " bound me " is going to produce next, without any particular caring one way or the other.>>>> The painting is *your own life*, and how you live it determines whether it is 'smudged'. *You* are the painting that I was referring to and *you* are the painter, make it a beautiful one.
