Balance is No-thingness
Balance is No-thingness
A perfectly balanced life is effectively nothing as one extreme is counterbalanced by another extreme. This equilibrium results in a self negation of the qualities involved and as such observes a state of no-thingness, i.e. the absence of thingness. From this it may be implied that a morality of balance is a morality promoting a state of cessation of form.

What is mortal life and what is “Real Reality?” If Agent Smith existed in a real matrix not a movie, do you think he would ever be able to access the outside of it? Is Agent Smith really alive? What are you?Agent Smith wrote: ↑Thu Apr 13, 2023 3:33 am "Who are you?"

In what ways should thinking about any of this lead to a change in priorities?

"Guys, guys, guess who I met this morning, when I went for my walk?" asked Tom. "Ms. Maryam. There's someone one would like to meet in the morning - so full of life, cheerful, always has a kind word to say," said Dick. "And, if you're anything like us unlucky sods, probably Mr. Groucho ... Marx!" Harry joked. "No, not Ms. Jane and not Mr. Forrester, our local Grumpy smurf. I met Ms. Emily, the young teacher working at the high school," Tom looked smitten. Dick and Harry stared at each other, speechless, and worried. Emily had died 2 days ago in a car accident.

Oh, brother. Earth to Agent Smith. CALM DOWN! Just relax. Stay in your position. You can be "Agent Smith" if that's what you really want. Just relax and don't whig out like I did. Or if you wig out, just seek help. I've been on meds for 25 years. It's fine. It's doable. Or you can be a Human Being named Agent Smith. It's OK. Just relax.Agent Smith wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 2:39 amI can see that you've had training.

Re: Balance is No-thingness
Yes. Relax. Take deep breaths. You weren't aware. Neither was I aware of the magnitude of what is going on. Almost no one is. You've been living a lie. I've been living a lie. It's not your fault. It's no one's fault. But we need to get out of the lie. We need to preserve the world. That's all we need to do right now, NOTHING ELSE.Agent Smith wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 2:57 amGary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 2:46 amOh, brother. Earth to Agent Smith. CALM DOWN! Just relax.

Re: Balance is No-thingness
I don't think I am living in a lie right now. I believe the world needs to chill and change course.

I am PRETTY SURE that you WILL FIND that 'the world', itself, could NEVER 'chill', by itself, unless, of course, 'the world' has 'feelings' in relation to temperature, and WILL ONLY 'change course', by itself, on the very rarest of occasions, like with a HUGE volcanic eruption, for example.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 6:41 am I believe the world needs to chill and change course.
HOWEVER, I KNOW, FOR SURE, that 'you', adult human beings, could be VERY HELPFUL if 'you' JUST CHANGED the WAY 'you' LOOKED AT, and SAW, 'things'.
But the earth, and life, itself, were doing PERFECTLY WELL, BEFORE 'you', adult human beings, STARTED INTRODUCING so-called 'technology' here.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 6:41 am We need to focus on technologies that will save life on Earth not destroy it.

There were a few things I thought about here? As can be CLEARLY SEEN and PROVED above here.
So, WHICH ONE are you referring to, EXACTLY?
And, are you going to EXPLAIN HOW and WHY 'it', (whatever 'it' is), is NOT 'the right thing to think', as well as EXPLAIN what, EXACTLY, NEEDS to be done BETTER, and WHY?

Well considering the Fact that 'you' do NOT have 'your mind', and, 'your mind' is a MISNOMER or INCORRECT term, this helps in explaining WHY you ARE COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of explaining here.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Fri Apr 14, 2023 8:51 amI can't.
