SILENCE...

 So much to say about SILENCE: VARGO says it best. Get some quality SILENCE here:

 

 DISTURBED SILENCE: 

Flowing silence is love
Shared silence is friendship
Silence seen is infinity
Vibrating silence is creation
Expressed silence is beauty
Maintained silence is strength
Allowed silence is rest
Received silence is joy
Perceived silence is knowledge
Silence-alone is being
Silence-alone is being, is being

Are you drowning in the noises
That surround you everyday
Do you struggle to keep things at bay
And at times does it feel like your loosing the way
Are you tempted by the voices
Trying to lead us all astray?
Do not always believe what they say
Come along, peace and quiet are not so far away

[[Chorus:]]
If your mind is out of tune
Feel the silence -
Don't know what to do
Feel the silence -
It is inside of you
Feel the silence -
If you listen you can hear it -
The silence in you

Creation - love - friendship - infinity - beauty - joy - knowledge - strength

Are you looking for a haven
Anywhere that you may roam?
There is shelter an oasis of your own
Come along, you'll find, you're already home

Intelligence?

Does it Exist Anymore?

It is interesting to think about this quote in the context of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE...ie: "fake" intelligence, that is all the rage as of late. People talk like it has the capacity to be some kind of God, and wonder and marvel at the idea of it.

We wonder... how would it handle a simple conundrum like the one listed in this quote? Holding 2 opposing ideas at the same time. Sounds like a Glitch... maybe gears and circuits flying apart? 

Thoughtlessness?

Why is one thoughtless?

The thinker thinks his thoughts through habit, through repetition, through copying, which brings ignorance and sorrow. 

Is not habit thoughtlessness?

 Awareness creates order, but it never creates habit. Settled tendencies only bring about thoughtlessness. Why is one thoughtless? 

Because to think is painful, 

it creates disturbances, it brings opposition, it may cause one’s actions to go contrary to the established pattern. To think-feel extensionally, to become choicelessly aware may lead to unknown depths, and 

the mind rebels against the unknown;

 so it moves from the known to the known, from habit to habit, from pattern to pattern. Such a mind never abandons the known to discover the unknown. Realizing the pain of thought, the thinker becomes thoughtless through copying, through habit; being afraid to think, he creates patterns of thoughtlessness. As the thinker is afraid, his actions are born of fear, and then he regards his actions and tries to change them. 

The thinker is afraid of his own creations; but the deed is the doer, 

so the thinker is afraid of himself. 

The thinker is fear itself; the thinker is the cause of ignorance, of sorrow. The thinker may divide himself into many categories of thought, but the thought is still the thinker. The thinker and his efforts to be, to become, are the very cause of conflict and confusion.

Tools to Tithe...

 Again, tithing is a spiritual principle, centered around the idea that in order to access the higher realms of your consciousness, you must tithe (put away) the left-brained, logical, linear, carnal, sense-oriented mind. The following video is a good tool to do just that. InJoy!
