Thinking happens, like clouds happen. Thoughts arise and are known.
All arising 'things', including thoughts and clouds, arise within the aware conscious presence that I am.edit on 6-2-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

Sorry, until you seek the questioner the true answer will not be known.
You will not know until you know 'who' it is that knows. Until then you will only ever beable to think that you are the 'thinker'.
Are you the 'thinker' or are you the 'knower'?edit on 6-2-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

i have a question about light speed if there are any physicists in the house.
Now, light travels at 299,792,458 metres per second.... Light is composed of both visible and non visible ( by human eyes) wavelengths..... Now wouldn't it make sense that the various wavelengths are in fact traveling at different speeds ? They may in fact all arrive at the same time but a spectrum with a shorter wave length vs a spectrum with a longer wave length would be traveling at different speeds would they not ? Or would that be defined as different frequency ? I would think if one were to measure the lengths of the waves certain spectrum's of light would be found to actually travel more distance in the same time as other spectrum's...... Am I way out of the box here or is the a very carelessly overlooked thought by all.
Light or PHOTONS behave as both Particle and Wave thus we have Frequency and Colors as well as many frequencies of Lights spectrum that the Human Eyes cannot see. Light travels at about 186,300 miles per second or about 6 Trillion Miles a Year thus ONE LIGHT YEAR.
The frequency of light does not determine speed as you are viewing a wave in Human concepts of Dimentionality. Light frequency has a spred pattern depending on sourse and as far as Light Waves...there are many aspects to effect such as RED and BLUE SHIFT and others that you can read up on that we use to determine the distance of Stars away from us...there is alot to it including how Photons are part of the Quantum World yet even though they are considered Energy can obtain a Mini-Mass.

Nothing will ever be learned here if everyone asking a question already believes they have all of the answers.

A question seeks an answer but who or what is it that asks? Find that one and there will be no more questions.

True what you say.
We are on an Earth in the heavens

sure, man.
So then let me ask the obvious.
Do you "know" how to "think?"
Because these posts...

I am the person "thinking" that you don't really "know" what you are talking about.
sigh.. you know what, I apologize if that's rude, but you only proved the point I made earlier. Every question brought up in the thread is just answered by another question. Nothing is ever really learned.

Myself, I think we have a conflict here of two variations of the same dogma but the problem is that neither side is presenting any justification for their views. They simply repeat them as though intoning their officially approved chants is all that is necessary to establish them as fact.
Neither side is providing any logic/reason/justification for their claims.
"The I is the one who asks"
"The We is the we plus .017 and a no deposit/no return coke bottle"
Both sides keep making 'this is' and 'that is' claims but neither side provides any reason for anyone to accept that particular point of view. They simply repeat dogma.
I am guessing neither are standard orthodox christians so maybe I can make them realize how they are behaving by pointing out that to most they sound like two christians throwing bible quotes at each other while being viewed by a Hindu audience.
Unless one has bought into their dogma to begin with most of this thread is meaningless

'I' is not an appearance. 'I' sees the appearances.
Knowing without seeing is what seems to happen in deep sleep, there are no appearances appearing but the 'I' is still present.

ahh, so i think this is what the toadster oven was talking about the universe being an inversion, you say I is not an appearance,, I sees the appearance... in order to have a mechanism which views all other things,, it it self must be a non thing? the seer is in tangible? it is the black hole... the iris of your eye.... the opposite of energy and matter... but the interpreter of energy and matters appearences?
Toadster Oven?

Ps: U happened 2 mention the I-R-IS, which happens 2 be known as the Flower of Life and has THREE petals to IT's Flower and the dried root of the Iris is known 4 IT's medicinal value, known as ORRIS Root.
I = 9
S = 19
9 + 19 = 28 = 2nd Perfect Number
28 = 2 + 8 = 10 = 1 + 0 = ONE
IRIS = I R ONE
R = 17 = 1 + 7 = 8
8 = upright infinity symbol = Infinite
IR = I²
IRIS = I² IS = God/Source IS = "God/Source = ONE"
