People are bodies, connected to the earth and to the air. They move with a purpose appearing to be the pursuit of an arbitrary desire. Do this. Be like that. The first link in the chain of reason remains unknown and the result never lasting. As the bodies shift the entire universe molds around them, rearranging and becoming something new. Every single thing is affected by the movements, and vice versa. When something else moves you will move as well. It all moves together, therefore it is all one thing.


People are minds. Who knows if there is a soul? Better yet, who knows what a soul is? Thoughts and feelings are vivid when they are awake, and sometimes they are more awake than others. Memories leave a record of what has been experienced, validating that it really happened, but much happens that isn't remembered. Thoughts and feelings flow through the mind and form labels and shapes by which people view the world. People tend to have thoughts based on the feelings and take actions based on the thoughts. Some people feel more than they think and some think more than they feel, but think or feel their mind is a filter to reality.


You are a watcher, not a person. You watch the person. You watch the mind. You watch the universe. If there is a god you are it and it is you. There is only one thing, how could it be any other way. You cannot control things you can only experience them. How can you control one thing when everything is connected. You cannot change things already set in motion just as you cannot stop the seconds from counting down on the clock.


Watch the person, watch it grow and understand and love because with understanding comes love. See the faults and weaknesses in the person and witness the person do their best in this world against their shortcomings, as all people do. Know that what you see in the person is what is in all people, that we are all the watcher and we are all struggling to understand and love ourselves. And through this learn to love all people and be released from negativity.

This sounds like thinly veiled solipsistic apathy, and I'm not buying it.

Well, in some sense, because I simply choose not to. What we can or cannot do certainly has it's valence, but in many cases, one has a choice.

I think whether or not we have free will is in how we describe it and irrelevant to what we actually do. I think by having a view that you can do nothing more than the best with what you've been given makes it easier to accept those things that are outside of your control.

Well sure, but it is knowing what is and isn't in your control that can prove difficult.

Is it possible to have a view that you can do more than the best with what you've been given? The best is already a superlative (and therefore not even possible to reach), the question you would ask yourself is whether or not you already reached the best or if you can still reach further and try to do better. Which you always can, because superlative. (that said, doing "better" is pretty subjective and relative and only has any meaning in your own understanding of yourself and your surroundings)

I for one am not buying it because you hardly put forth any arguments for your view, and the few arguments that you do put forth are quite vague and not very well thought out. So with that I don't have any reason to accept any of your statements. But then again, I guess the purpose of this post was not to argue for a certain view, but to just write a few sentences on what you think is the case. That's nice and all, but we all have some idea of what is the case - the difference between good and bad views is that the good ones are supported by good arguments, the bad ones are not.

Well people can think about or debate what I am saying if they want to. If they think about it then awesome! If they debate it that can be even more fun. I wrote what I wrote, if people simply dismiss it without thinking about it then that's their business not mine. They can say it's because I didn't provide enough supporting argument, I could say it's because of laziness or disinterest. It would be very difficult to objectively claim one of us as being right.

To say it's not well thought out would be ridiculous as you have no idea how much thought went into it.

If there is a god it would very likely to be more knowledgeable than any one person. Thus you could only claim to be a part of god at best and not the complete thing. It does bring up an interesting point; can a perfectly knowledgeable being have any power at all, or would it only have predetermined actions based on some initial input?

My point is that everyone does the best they can because that is our nature, and that we need to be understanding of that. Our performance or the actions we take in life is not based on fundamental changes in what we are, rather it is based on changes in our circumstances.

Why would something that has total awareness/understanding want power?

True, but suppose it did want power, could it get it? Or would it know that power itself is impossible to obtain for any being and our views of having power are illusory?

What do you mean by love, exactly?

I think there are a lot of people who when I learn more about them and come to understand them better, I start to hate them.

I think love is something we feel for select people, perhaps because it is an emotional necessity, or perhaps because just something in our brain gives us pleasure at thinking of certain people as more valuable to us than others. It gives us the perception of meaning, that we aren't just gross bodies meaninglessly bobbling thru space, but there is a meaning for our existence and that is to make these special people happy.

In my mind loving everybody makes love meaningless. You cease to have an opinion. There ceases to be a scale of emotion to give variety to our lives. You can't help everybody or make everybody happy, so you devalue your own love. Or if you love some people more than others, maybe those people you love less you don't really love at all.

You are a watcher, not a person. You watch the person. You are the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.
