You and I?

Post by Bill Wiltrack »

............................................................................

When you and I do nothing-but do it together...philosophically are we closer?



For instance, when each of us look at the above GIF, if we clear our minds so that we are not attached to any of our thoughts...are we more connected in a way?


A way that we are just now beginning to explore as human beings?



Are we more the same?




Is the consciousness that we would share in common a window to the future of a higher species of man?






Just stop and view the above GIF...






I am doing that too.

I wonder if we are the same just because we are looking at the same picture?

one person might be thinking I hate that woman she reminds me of my ex I could just strangle that biatch

another person might think what a beautiful woman looks just like my daughter

still another could be imagining having sex with her or more than just using his mind to do so

I was wondering who is she looking at and it would be great to see that picture in a frame in an art museum for its artistic value.

What if we were just seeing and recognizing in our not-selves; consciousness.



That's what I was going for.


But I like where you came from.



I understand you & I like you adding to my threads thank you for the time & effort upon this very philosophical subject.

Is it B. Bardot ?

No matter what their personal associations are, two people watching her could have the same experience of ....
Frenchness ? French way of life ? French nonchalance ?

And this experience would be something they have in common from now on.

And the more common experiences they have the better they can understand each other. As a general tendency.

I like you mindset but I think if you go back and re-read the original post upon this thread then just be still for a moment you will be able to better understand the gist of the argument that I framed within the scope of this thread.



Thank you for participating.
