it's got your attention though huh timmy.

 

see?

 

probably not.

 

baba really doesn't care.

 

but it's cool to see what baba does has it's intended effect.

 

so wonder on..make your investigations on what " seems " ..

 

focus on Bob.

 

that's the ticket!

Sure, he does. What he wants is attention.

 

He cares very much about that.

 

> but it's cool to see what baba does has it's intended effect.

 

That's fine. Every once in awhile, obsession seems to accomplish its purpose.

 

But rarely, quite honestly.

 

Certainly nowhere near often enough to justify the required expenditure of

energy.

I see it as more of a craving for attention.

 

Which can certainly reach 'pathological' levels... no doubt about it.

oh you're so understanding..

 

and so condescending..

 

and so full of shit too.

 

LOL!

 

 

 

 

 

> But rarely, quite honestly.

 

 

 

oh sure sure sure.

 

rarely uh huh.

 

funny how with you it's accomplished it's end twice in succession..

 

and rather quickly too i might add.

 

but you think whatever you want to think.

 

that's fun too.

 

 

 

 

> Certainly nowhere near often enough to justify the required expenditure of

well then just you settle yourself down timmy.

 

no need to exhaust what little resources you do have.

 

and if you require justification..

 

just ask how your pal dabbo sizes it all up..

 

he's a great judge of what's good and bad and better and best.

 

:-)

LOL!

 

well geoparado you have that bass-ackwards.

 

it's hating to be loved.

 

because all that talk about love is the purest bullshit.

 

it's self seeking gratification..

 

in what it sees as " honorable " and " good " .

 

it's judgmental nonsense.

 

if that's NOT pathological in your book..

 

if that's not sadomasochistic in it's impossibility of fulfillment..

 

no wonder you're so mixed up.

 

quit whining and start enjoying yourself.

 

i do enjoy myself.

 

don't do as i say..do as i do.

 

but you probably just can't bring yourself up to the measure.

 

to bad you poor suffering succotash.

 

but leave the blame at your own doorstep.

 

nobody can hurt you but yourself and you do that aplenty.

 

i like the Christian ideal..

 

love what needs to be loved like i love myself.

 

even Jesus understood who really is #1.

 

:-)

He seems to be trying to contact somebody.

 

Trying to tell himself that he's messed up, and messing with himself,

through you.

 

That seems to be Bob's modus operandi -- trying to send himself a message

through 'others'.

 

No wonder it just keeps repeating and repeating and repeating, like a busted

cuckoo clock ... :-p.

This pathology has a name: sadomasochism. To love to be hated....more and

more of it...endlessly....and enjoying it.

baba really doesn't care.

 

but it's cool to see what baba does has it's intended effect.

 

so wonder on..make your investigations on what " seems " ..

 

focus on Bob.

 

that's the ticket!

What poor manner to enjoy oneself.... such a tinny gush of adrenalin...Talk

p.s.

 

oh yeah..

 

and about my not caring what you find funny or sad..

 

and my finding either situation funny..

 

feel free to not care yourself.

 

s'matter of fact..

 

that's an order.

 

feel free to obey that order.

 

it's the least a sucker deserves:

 

to " feel " free about what he can do or cannot do..

 

even though he isn't really free.

 

believe you have a choice i command you!

 

there's a good brave little soldier.

 

hut hut!

 

you only think you know what the " war " (which isn't) is all about.

 

that's why you've been enlisted.

 

:-)

 

your Commander in Chief:

:) Hm, hm, what to say, what to say? I call it an illusion

because it's ungraspable, the moment is, the now, that you

called " this here " .

 

I agree actually that there is only " this here " but because

it's ungraspable, untouchable, meaning I cannot say what it

is, I call it meaningless, absurd, a dream, an illusion. It

is all just names for what I do not understand respectively

know.

 

This was in the beginning :)

An image of a cow in a meadow - same image outside as inside.

No difference. Such images is/are me, the world that is me :)

When I close my eyes I see no cows anywhere -- but then there

are sounds and smells and tastes and feelings - like the wind

on the skin - and I name it all and the name is the image and

this labelling has taken place for eternity. It is impossible

to say what was and is - if anything - before and after these

images, before and after the names - the words. They probably

appear out of - right: nothing, nowhere - and that makes them

be nothing taking place nowhere - I find myself to be nothing

in the middle of nowhere.

 

This was in the middle :)

 

 

 

 

> if an image is saying there are images, how is it known that the image took

place that said this?

 

 

 

 

The answer lies in the question. The image is all there is.

The image is the asking the question, and the answering the

question. The image is the knowing that there is nothing to

know, for the image is the knowing that there is but images.

 

This was in the end :)

 

 

 

 

 

> indeed, there is no inside or outside involved.

>

> therefore, there isn't any image of anything.

>

> nothing for there to be an image of.

 

 

 

Correct. The image is an image made of nothing for there is

but nothing to form images of - your " something " is nothing

is image is spin and its content is nothing.

 

And that is not what you meant - I know :) Or -- could I be

wrong? ;) Nah ardly ... heh heh.

Shit, you are too learned, too much intellect/intelligence?

Boy oh boy oh well you shut me up with that one - congrats!

I figured it would be fun to play with you, heh.

You win again. 2-nil.

But you said it already??? It is nothing! Why did you ask

that question then?

Hellow - if you cannot settle with there being nothing and

only nothing, not even images, not even illusions, you are

violating your own teaching, not? :)

Wowowo wait a second - my point was that without a source to

being - there IS no being! You see, all images rest on point

zero, that is why they are called images. If there were just

one solid teeny weeny little point to being - on which a one

and whole and irrevocably existing world could stand - there

would NOT be nothing appearing as images -- there would be a

reality which was a something - and which we as these things

- somethings - would have no choice but take seriously - and

that would indeed be a good reason to save the world because

it would indeed be in a miserable state. IF ... IF ... IF :)

 

I thought we were in agreement? You've played a win-win game

recently, insisting that nothing is nothing - not even image

- not even illusion - and now you're suggesting that nothing

is not plain nothing?

 

 

 

 

> to get stuck on " nothing " is an action, a holding to a concept.

 

 

 

 

Not. I have said it all along - there are images - the whole

" thing " is nothing -- the whole " thing " is an illusion and a

very tangible such. There is feeling the keys of this kboard

on which fingers are playing with typing letters. It feels!

 

It is just that the feel has no duration, does not last - as

you said it yourself upstairs. It is skin, it is spin, it is

transparent and because it cannot be held on to, grasped, it

is impossible to state for sure that it IS and yet! it keeps

happening and happening and so on ... and for lack of better

words thought calls all of it imaginary, yet tangible events

- thought itself being a such. Thought can not even say what

itself is, ha ha ha :) so it says about itself, that is must

be an image - no solid reality to be found anywhere, it says

too. And then it finishes off by saying - do not shoot me, I

am just the messenger and total transparency too of course -

so no need to wipe off the dust of the old WWII shotgun ;)

Well, thanks, and so is you -- that much we can agree on :)

 

Stardust - all stardust - none of it solid in any way or for

as long as it takes to name it - and yet it is named. Enigma.

Wonder. Illusion. Image. Dream. A dear nobody has many names.

 

Bye for now :)

If I understand this moment as not other than who I am, then there isn't an

illusion in this moment for me - and this is all that is.

 

Grasping ceases.

 

So, the illusion is my own grasping at what can't be grasped.

 

There's no one else involved in what makes the illusion.

 

That there would be someone else involved, is the illusion.

Well, to call it something requires a namer of it, apart from the named.

 

And for whom is it to be named?

 

Someone else to whom it will be communicated?

 

No - that is the illusion.

 

It is not understood as an object - there are no objects - so, in that sense, it

is no-thing.

 

Yet, it is also what is called " movement, life, awareness, experience " - so this

no-thing that isn't named or communicated, is not an absence of anything.

Nothing is missing or left out.

Yes, the image is me, making myself as a form to experience.

 

There is no self in the image, as the image, or outside the image.

 

So, it is " empty " - I wouldn't say " absurd " - because there is beauty to the

emptiness, stillness.

Yes.

 

Even without labeling, the feeling of the wind on skin, even at the moment of

experience - it is a feeling-image.

 

Not a word-image.

 

Still an imaged sensing.

 

It is impossible

Yes.

 

And this nothing simply means: no identity. No identity for me, therefore no

identities out there. No " out there " because no identifiable being " in here " to

locate anything " out there " in relation.

 

Nothing known - but there is no grasping at having it be known.

 

Even to say " nothing " is saying something, is providing a name, a descriptor.

Makes sense to me.

 

And this would be to understand images as neither occurring nor not occurring.

 

So, " something happened " or " nothing happened " are images.

That seems pretty on-target to what I meant.

 

That anything would be made of something is an aspect of illusion.

 

The idea that there is nothing because there isn't anything from which something

is made, is equally illusion.

 

There simply is no place to land - neither " something " nor " nothing " nor

something other than something or nothing.

I merely express how it is for me in words, if there were any communicating of

this to someone else.

 

But, there isn't any other involved.

 

So the communing through words is as it is.

 

Or not.

 

The words just come and I type - so if there is intelligence, it is simply that

the moment as is, is " intelligent. "

 

Whatever intelligence you see " out there " from " someone's words " is just

intelligence you find from/of yourself in the moment of understanding.

 

But, it could be the intelligence of a waterfall, or a breeze blowing. So,

human intelligence and the intelligence of " what is " are not-two.

 

Certainly, a word like " intelligence " is just another descriptor, but to keep

reiterating that there are no descriptors, isn't necessary. Because to say

" there are no descriptors " is also a kind of description.

 

And what is " unintelligence " ? It could only be mistaking what is. To be

involved in what is illusory as if it were real. That is the only

unintelligence, in terms of what we're discussing. Of course, there are

measures that people make for the intelligence of people - but that is something

different than what we are looking at. This intelligence does not reside in a

person.

Oh, we're playing tennis? Tennis with words? I didn't realize that.

 

Well, if I lose, I win.

 

Like it says in the Tao te Ching, one comes to this through loss upon loss.

 

To lose one's position, one's identity, even any sense that one knew one's own

being in any objectifiable way, or even that there is " nothing. "

Because it isn't truly answerable.

 

That is why.

Not really.

 

Because those kind of descriptors such as " nothing and only nothing " ... also

dissolve.

 

Saying it is " not this, not that " - well, it isn't a matter of knowing that,

either.

Okay.

 

Well, my point is that with no source, there isn't any ground, and without any

ground, there isn't any basis to say that something isn't.

 

You seem to see a world as existing, and then understand it as an illusion.

 

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you.

 

But if the world I see isn't there, then there is just this being, which is who

I am - a being that involves or has no being. It is paradox, rather than

negation.

 

So, I'm basically agreeing with you and just pointing out that, just as it's not

that something is there, it's not that nothing is there.

 

The world is not affirmed nor denied.

 

Just saying the world doesn't exist, is denial of existence.

 

Saying there is something to be done for the world, is affirmation of its

existence.

 

Neither denial nor affirmation makes sense at this point (that has no point)

that we're at - where there isn't any separable you or I to see things either as

they are, or as not being, or as some other way.

 

> I thought we were in agreement? You've played a win-win game

> recently, insisting that nothing is nothing - not even image

Well, I'm not suggesting that there is something other than nothing - but I'm

not wanting to see it as some kind of " absolute nothing " either, as if that

could be held onto as a descriptor.

 

You said " ungraspable " earlier - which seems on-target.

Well, this is the very point.

 

What is the feeling of typing when there isn't any illusion, when I'm not

fooling myself, when there is no " self or other " ...

 

It is not " me " touching the keyboard apart from me.

 

So, what is it?

 

When there isn't the image - nor any lack of an image?

 

It isn't even " nothing " ... not even that ...

 

If it is " nothing, " it is " all nothing " - so the nothing and all are not-two.

The moment of typing, as it is ...

It is the sense of happening that is being inquired into here.

 

When there is no duration whatsoever, there is no illusion, nothing happening,

no sense that this happened before and is happening again - and there is no

negation, no sense of nothing, no affirmation that " this is nothing. "

Yes.

 

It simply fades away into all-nothing, which is all there ever was or could be.

Yes, a beginingless and endless twinkling, never named, never identified, never

having any identities in it.
