GENERALIZATIONS-AT-LARGE
The following pieces may be read individually, but if you proceed in the suggested sequence the overall theme will be easier to discern.
THE TRUTHS local and temporary vs. universal and permanent LAWS IN EFFECT time and logic vs. empiricism THOUGHTS VS. FEELINGS things you feel are self-validating and therefore absolute, whereas things you think about are arbitrary and therefore relative SUBJECTIVE PRIMACY anything confirms consciousness by the fact of its existence - no matter what it conveys in a symbolic way DEEP SUBJECTIVITY what we consider objective reality is just a class of subjective experience SELF-AFFIRMATION since it is just as easy to construct a self-affirming identity as a self-negating one, why choose the latter WISDOM an orientation towards what is universal and permanent FREE ASSOCIATION our attitudes with respect to external things come into being only because we happen to associate them with certain subjective experiences.
LEARNING for a meaningful experience to result, what we feel internally must fuse with what we perceive on the outside
THE SENSES categorizing sensory experience RREFLECTING ON MEDITATION meditation, May 23, 2005 IN SEARCH OF A MOVIE PROJECTOR layers of consciousness meet their corresponding equivalents in the objective realm CHANGE OF POLARITIES things move in circles - all phenomena tend to reverse in time
TO MY CLONE is different "different" or "the same"? A BETTER CHOICE seeing in terms of similarities, rather than differences
THE COMMON CORE similarities are cumulative and form a central core which, although unacknowledged, is implicit in all things DUALITY duality at its logical extreme
CONTRADICTING contradict a contradiction TO MEET PAIN as long as avoidance of pain remains our chief motivation we are fundamentally animals. once we overcome this barrier we become truly self-directed.
THE SURVIVAL TRADE-OFF application of human intelligence to the business of survival represents a misuse
GOALS we are driven by two distinct types of motivation
TO CIVILIZE
how civilized are we?
THE UNKNOWN up to the limit, and beyond
BEING FREE any attempt at self-definition spells out self-limitation. to define is to limit and restrict.
TO QUESTION OR NOT TO QUESTION from doubt to more doubt...
LEGAL NOTICE: After careful deliberations it is hereby declared that due to the considerations to be taken under advisement the subject matter thereof may be induced to commit the entirety of the stated facts as they relate to the aforementioned, to wit, by means of the interim sanctions, it is hereby provided, that the foregoing purports to be taken as such in reference to what is deemed sufficient to overcome that which in the foreseeable future, conceivably, although not necessarily may be represented or otherwise alleged in a manner to be determined in light of the aforementioned, which, as further agreed, inasmuch as the accompanying circumstances, notwithstanding any future contingencies or prior commitments may be considered highly relevant to said determination, given the range of extraneous factors, inclusive of litigation as one of the applicable courses of action, not by way of limiting the full spectrum of legal instruments, for all intents and purposes sufficient basis may be found to warrant a legal conclusion that requirement of compliance with said commitment be duly authorized and invoked in full force and that it shall remain binding and enforceable with respect to all parties, regardless of their financial status, political affiliations, contributions made to success of well placed personal friends, and close ties to eminencies larger than life, whether implied or express, unless voided in specific instance of it's applicability, as may be deemed necessary and appropriate at face value. Likewise, in all other instances where empty verbiage is employed to create appearances that something intelligible is actually conveyed through sterile semantics replete with meaninglessly complex circular references to non-existent entities, all property, money and articles of value shall be properly transferred to and/or shall remain in control and possession of those who speaking with the authority of law profess to understand it in light most favorable to themselves, which invariably coincides with all that is judicious, prudent, reasonable and proper.
