It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Yeah, me too.  It seems a pretty common theme, in some ways. 

“Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity.”
― John Nash

“We must be careful not to discourage our twelve-year-olds by making them waste the best years of their lives preparing for examinations.”
― Freeman Dyson, Infinite in All Directions


and. . . it occurs to me, the case of Bill Gates, etc.., Todd Brunson, etc.., but, those are only single cases, etc.,

however - another interesting fact is that studies have shown that it's true as well - cramming is not the best for the ideal functioning of the human brain.

And - no, sorry I cannot quote the source, but it was scientific. . I have a pretty good ability to tell those things. . . and it makes sense, reasons and jives with other stuff --

too much stress, and the brain doesn't function properly -- not sure how to quantify it (does everything have to be quantified?  well, that is another topic and story)

but as I say, I don't know how to quantify it, but I believe to the point of knowledge that time in nature and / or meditation is one key. . .

more time spent absorbing info., relaxing the body including - a near infinite number of exercises which could be perfect --- for me, walking, climbing and swimming. . . . each for their own purpose. . .

swimming 'coz it takes the pressure off the feet and spine, and a few reasons -- climbing can do that too -- and walking is an ideal exercise 'coz it has no or almost no stress on the knees and spine

(one of my friends would joke - the 70's was a generation with the best cardiovascular systems - but they're too often in wheelchairs. . . on the point, that well, walking doesn't have that effect)

so - one aspect of it is spending more time to have the brain / body / heart in the ideal or best capacity - which is relative, and has many goals or processes - (is not the process the result, largely?)

for what it is worth -- anyway, a lot of other things, just a few of them.

and then of course we haven't even touched on Schopenhaur's remarks on reading. ! :sun:

:smile:

anyway - so they picked up on it in circles of study - when will they follow suit in the main-stream education system? 

who can say - an' such an open - leading to more open - question is simply a normal facet of life --

as well as the increasing evidence that marijuana is virtually a super-health substance,

and the vast healing potentials of other psychotropics (in various places and with varying background and ideals, etc)

so - anyway just normal stuff.


trade-offs for everything as is normal.  marijuana heals dozens of things, as well as does some nifty things in the brain having to do with cannabinoids,

or in the words of Carl Sagan, 'brings serenity to a world that desperately needs it,'

and in tribal cultures, many positive effects and so forth -- and etc;


but it slows down reaction time and so forth , so it is not ideal for a sports competitor in most all cicrcumstances --

although again, the overall effects of health and spiritual, deeply beneficial psychological effects, it overall would probably be rather important in the development of many aspects of life. . .

( in terms of fortitude and perserverence, as well as happiness, peace, and health and other aspects of which they bring abundantly. )

in a lyric of deep Purple, 'it gets you strong for cryin' out loud' not definitely specifically of the subject of that.


and yeah i have wondered off topic. . . just kidding.

I am the great son, but you do not see me.

I am your husband, but you turn away.

I am the captive, but you do not free me.

I am the captain, but you will not obey.

I am the truth, but you will not believe me.

I am the city, where you will not stay.

I am your wife, your child, but you will leave me.

I am that God, to whom you will not pray.

I am your counsel, but you do not hear me.

I am your love, whom you will betray.

I am the victor, but you do not cheer me.

I am the holy dove, that you will slay.

I am your life, but if you will not name me, fill up your soul with tears, and never blame me.



-Inscription from a 16th century Norman crucifix

An individuated individual is one in whom the unconscious and conscious are harmonised, and ego is decentralised.

IS there a step just prior to enlightenment or Self-realization? Yes. That step is the individual not caring whether enlightenment happens or not. That is the penultimate step for the final understanding to happen. No “one” to care. Who cares? A thought will arise, “Will there ever be enlightenment in this body-mind organism?” And promptly, “Who cares?” You see? So “who” cares? There is no “who” to care! Ramesh Balsekar

"I take very seriously the idea that the Logos is real, that there is a guiding mind -- an Oversoul -- that inhabits the biome of the planet, and that human balance, dignity, and religiosity depend on having direct contact with this realm. That is what shamanism is providing. It was available in the West until the fall of Eleusis and the Mystery traditions -- to some people -- but then it was stamped out by barbarians who didn't understand what they had destroyed. The soul of the planet is not neutral about the emerging direction of human history. We are part of a cosmic drama -- I really believe that -- and although the cosmic drama has lasted for untold ages, I don't think it's going to run for untold ages into the future."  --Terence McKenna

!!! ! !  !

I love you, Divided Quantum.

Some shamans travel through all of time and space.

In real life, I am most always very quiet, humble, at peace, I share everything non-verbally.  And, explore more and more deeply into non-verbal communication.

Though I post a lot and "speak" a lot online.

The Diamond Sutra...


The Lord Buddha resumed: "Moreover, Subhuti, an enlightened disciple in his acts of charity, ought to act spontaneously, uninfluenced by such things as form, sound, taste, odour, touch, discrimination, and favoritism. It is imperative that an enlightened disciple, in the exercise of charity, should act independent of phenomena. And why? Because, acting without regard to illusive forms of phenomena, he will realise in the exercise of charity a merit inestimable and immeasurable.

"Subhuti, what think you? Is it possible to estimate the distances that comprise the illimitable universe of space?"

Subhuti replied: "Blessed One! It is impossible to estimate the distances comprising the illimitable universe of space."

The Lord Buddha continued: "It is equally impossible to estimate the merit of an enlightened disciple who practises charity unperturbed by the disturbing influences of Phenomena. Subhuti, the minds of all disciples ought thus to be taught."

wisdom, love, and peace.
