I am power reading thru your journal bro. Still at page 6 now. Coloidal Silver discussion. Interesting one.
When ya get really bored, read thru his old ones!
Weas man... detached the retina?!?! WTF man? Usually that's coupled with some head trauma. Been using your headbone as a pinata?
I've tried using the phone here before... frustration paired with dysfunction IMHO. I appreciate a keyboard in my lap and a big screen in my face.... these days with the font sizes bumped up a bit and the screen at the right range for my spectacles.
Lemme get some keef in me before I jump on the next subject.
........
Wow... got distracted and involved in my day... now I need a few more....... hang on.....
OooooK..... Maybe I can run this down....
So many good words from many. I like Graytail's words... they feel very comfortable to me. GT points out some of the magical bits about participating in an online forum like this one. When one mixes in the general vibe of the canna crowd, it sure is fun.
Weas man.... you're not supposed to hold my feet to the fire and actually think about my words. WTF again man!
Fun to ponder our existence especially with some herbal input going.
In the end, I'm just not all all convinced we as humans even have the senses to fully detect the world around us. Lately, the scientific community is busy-busy chatting about 'dark matter' and 'dark energy'. Tho spoken of as something directly observed, their existence is really a mathematical function used to adjust a larger formula. While the arguments may be stirring for their existence, a more stirring argument might be that we simply don't fully understand the larger formula.
But let's dump all the science and just pretend for a moment that dark matter and dark energy exist as proposed.
The scientists tell us that dark matter and dark energy simple are not observable by us. We, as humans, don't have organs that can detect it. We do have organs designed to detect
the effects of gravity, tho not gravity directly.
What's your point Tead... other than that you smoke good weed?
Well.... Tead uses his brain as a sensing organ for a moment and looks around to see one sure example of realities he can't observe, and one proposed example of it. He can't help but wonder if there are more... and perhaps in a world where infinity exists (or perhaps doesn't) there might be an infinite number of them.
But can I know? Do I even have the physical ability to know? If I did, do I host a brain capable of understanding what I knew?
........... Sunset occurs... more bowls smoked.... waiting for the sun to rise as I consume coffee and smoke.
But in the end... one really has to choose for themselves.
One can chase the shifting facts and reality.... or one can choose to accept that they cannot know or understand the things needed to make oneself actually 'comfortable' with the world around them.
Interestingly... this core need may form the fertile grounds needed for religions to establish.... but Tead's comfortable with the idea that he can't truly be comfortable.... so religion finds no fertile soils in his world. He has no need to fill in the blanks he doesn't have a handle on with 'faith'
hmmm... am I getting off course here? Lemme smoke and re-read....
You speak of the conundrum concept.... and I have to tip my hat to it. I recognize that this forms a conundrum for someone that needs an answer... someone seeking the comfort of understanding.
When one considers that there are just so many things one cannot detect or understand, one is left with one choice... acceptance.
I'm with ya tho... my personal desire to know those answers is strong as well.
While not a believer, I am quite familiar with religion. At one point in my life, I was planning to attend a religious based college in WA. I can find many nuggets of logic and wisdom in the writings of various religions. The one that pops to mind at the moment is the old lilies of the field words found in the Christian bible....
Why are you anxious about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow.
They don’t toil, neither do they spin.
While the words are apparently meant to address the physical needs of the masses, the idea they use can be stretched some and painted upon many situations.
In my eyes, I really remove myself up one layer of existence if you will... trying to see even my own life with a detached and realistic perspective.
Man... did any of that have any point at all? Shit that's all just stoned blather that we all devolve to in our inner brains. The duality of man... the thoughts of actual existence.
I now know why I like the Weas banter. I appreciate the social loners in life. I can relate. I find them gritty and real in ways I like. My smokin buddy is one as well. Endless stoned words about crazy thoughts.
Am I done here... has my blather even made sense or connected? I feel the answer may fall a touch far to the 'WTF are you talking about Tead?' side of the argument.... but perhaps stoned blather is just another magical bit of this place.
OK... hitting the 'post' button now.... then I'll go see what hell I can stir up elsewhere... I'm sure I've ignored Sue's thread for long enough.
