Change Your Heart Desires In Dire Times Where Change Is Needed (Please do not skip this post)

I actually came back here to add an essential point (essential to me, obviously) that, in my haste, I had forgotten to include: ultimately, I suppose, it doesn't matter which one is it, tuning in or affecting - although it would be nice to know - as long as it works.

I happen to think that the world really may be much more "solipsistic" than it anyone would dare consider. To save everyone time, I'll just refer you to a post I made a long time ago.

But I have to emphasise: it is only a THOUGHT I am entertaining... along with many other thoughts. :-)

For what it's worth, I'd also like to say that talking about anything that has to do with the "outer limits" of the mind-matter connection may not be a good idea. My instinct and intuition tell me so - and experience, too.
Not because of fear of anyone's reaction, but because - in my case, at least - it drains the energy that effects the effect. :-)

Again, good luck.

Hello again Vanitas and many thanks for coming by once more.

I have read your posts in the link you provided and you strike me as a very deep thinker and this appeals to me as i do have a passion in exploring deep thoughts.

Please correct me if i am wrong but as i understand it the question, if you like, which you pose is, how can there be two perceptions of the one reality and how do you rationalise which perception is correct.

Alongside this philosophical question many others permeate it is almost akin to a Pandora ’s Box of thoughts.

Ultimately i think we each perceive the same reality according to how our environment and experiences shape us.

In the same way babies would cover their eyes instinctively from the sun’s rays so to would we each pull our hands away from a burning flame. These are instinctive reactions.

The paradox comes into play when we have to rationalise our unique perceived realities. This is where individuality plays a part and that same individuality is once again down to how our environments and experiences shape us.

In truth prior to being exposed to these two conditions we are each the exactly the same. Soul canvasses for the world to write it. Or you could look at it in the sense that we are like blank CD's until programs are written on to us. The only difference is that we are sentient beings and are able to think and act upon our thinking.

Once again many questions and paradigms arise, many of which i enjoy intellectual and philosophical debate on.

Many thanks for your contribution.

This is a particularly good one... I'll have to come back.
(Even though I write quite fast when I am in the mood, time has the unnerving habit of slipping away at an alarming rate during my writing - and it's now past two a.m. here.

)

For now, I'll just say that, in my opinion, all of us observe, more or less, a physical "template" (which may be far less stable than one would imagine).
Within that loose physical template, however, all sorts of individual variations are possible - so much so that even the idea of a "solipsist" reality perhaps isn't as outrageously far-fetched as I myself once thought.

But you may have noticed, in that other thread (in a different post), that I was questioning precisely the nature of this common template versus the possibility of an infinitely varied individual interaction with it.

In his highly interesting, if flawed, series of books, Vadim Zeland calls this spacetime that we inhabit, the "space of variations". Of course, it's a very simple definition, but he expounds some ideas that I find quite workable.


I see I am now quoting other people... Not good.
Have to go. :-)

But I'll be back.

everyone can feel it, the potential in thier hearts but there's a singularity that has to break. that someone is dun dun dun, you.
