I like, but what is common sense and how common is it?

Uncommon, IME.

I think it is the same as wisdom, in a way, if a more dulled down version perhaps?

Perhaps a tendency to not do foolish or unwise things often?


--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.
--Jac O'keeffe

90% at least of all that we do is rote.
not wrote as in preordained, but rote or reflex as in automatic response.

this comforts me because it know i can change myself by practicing new responses.

if i mess up (90% most likely) i can start again.

in this way i reincarnate myself and heal while screwing up some more

I like that you are so much better and greater and in a better positition than us and still honest about and saying that you screw up

as if you have put gear into a machine that you are and go better

going to better places

and because of like having put good things into oneself

it is comforting and encouraging of course

and happifying of course

now I get that it is about how what changes what to what as in getting a better time and worse but I still don't understand wether everything is perfect and such things it's the only thing I get

:tongue2:

another thing is meditation

:laugh:

every time you think I want some benefit I want better things in my life you can meditate

it may take like 2000 hours to come to this place

but it is a lovely thing

and I'm not disputing or belittling the initial benefits

before about 2000 hours

but somewhere down the line you will have gotten so much benefit that you think oh I sit for extra benefit then good things will come to me

to my life

it is like taking psychedelics

it is like you sit back and watch the extra enhancement

it is like understanding that it is extra positive, positive good and leaning back into a more positive better movie/ride/time

it has to be experienced

still it is benefits

and it happens after like 2000 hours

it is nice to know that there is a garantie about being human or a fixed prospect by doing 2000 hours of a kind of work

but then of course you have to do the 2000 hours

and then we're back to the better ride/life/time

or 1500 hours

the best thing to do it is to do 2 x 45 minutes every day

redgreenvines got started much before I did when he was 13 with BOTH MEDITATION AND YOGA

this is extremely important

starting early

otherwise it is about gardening (routine) and getting closer to the middle way

and not abandoning

and sticking to it and sticktoitness

but after like 1500 hours it becomes like eating candy

that enhances your life quickly and utterly efficiently

even your life is somewhat candy like

we want it instantly but when we do 2 x 45 minutes a day it only takes 3 - 4 years

In spite of my generally negative outlook I do believe in Jerusalem, although it's a far cry from here, the possibility of it is comforting. And I believe in the origin of things.

indeed  ...

Some might say that for the masses, that come home, from work, flip on the TV,  and crack a beer---more like 99.99..% is rote.

Others might say being aware, is more important than what one does outwardly.

I doubt we get any brownie points, for clever opinions.

If the mindful rock climber, experiences a high on reaching the summit, will the junkie be impressed? Is the dopamine hit the same?
Does awareness/  freedom have a different reward system?

Ferdinando,
I think you make me out to be better than possible, so that can be dialed back a bit.
If I were that good it would be amazing, but to be called that good and not really be any better than anyone else makes me feel uncomfortable, and you would not want to do that, so, please do not complement or praise me - it feels too weird.

Probably not the case, hence his guardedness.

Did this turn into another redgreenvines appreciation thread?

If so, that's fine. Probably better than the initial premise. :lol:


--------------------
“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
