Taking the 'Middle Way' too literally * 6
    #28177161 - 02/08/23 06:34 AM (11 months, 13 days ago)

Three statisticians went out hunting and came across a large deer. The first statistician fired, but missed, by a meter to the left. The second statistician fired, but also missed, by a meter to the right. The third statistician didn’t fire, but shouted in triumph, “On average, we got it!”

Keeping things aligned..

Quote:

Two monks were arguing about a flag. One said: "The flag is moving."

The other said: "The wind is moving."

The sixth patriarch happened to be passing by. He told them: "Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving."


Mumon's comment: The sixth patriarch said: "The wind is not moving, the flag is not moving. Mind is moving." What did he mean? If you understand this intimately, you will see the two monks there trying to buy iron and gaining gold. The sixth patriarch could not bear to see those two dull heads, so he made such a bargain.

Wind, flag, mind moves,
The same understanding.
When the mouth opens
All are wrong.

he's just trying to get the monks to think in terms of mental events.
the mind moves are
sensation
perception:
  • descriptive perception
  • utterances
  • self awareness of having spoken
  • appreciation of the wind in other ways
  • appreciation of flags...
  • thoughts about the mind
  • breathing the wind
  • awareness of breath
  • of being there
  • of eachother
  • of being corrected by the master...
each arizing in its own 1/10 of a second
more or less
lots of movement there.

then there is also the chance he caught a Yoda virus

That sounds like an analogy for describing a neutrality bias.

Yeah I think so too. And maybe a bit of fun about how we can make believe falsities using math and logic if we lose our grounding with reality.

konfusion krept in, keeping focus kompletely kaptivated by a bewildered kurrent state. Fortunately kindness and care can continue and culminate in kno(wa)ble compassion.

Advice: all alliteration aggrandising assholes assault average animals auras- acting as antagonists.
Actually... Artful application admittedly averts any artificial apprehension, allowing an accurate assessment.

I sometimes don't think there's a "straight" path, I think it's natural to experiment.
