Thinking out loud
Just where should I go?
Here will do fine
Irrational world
Just spinning rapidly around
Orbiting the sun yearly
Getting sleepy
Bed waitin

Usually as you get older elliptical activity usually decreases.... With me they were an early morning thing since covid mine have apparently increased..
Now I have been noticed short periods of fuzzy a not feel good period (kind of foggy like) when the short period was over I usually felt good and alert for awhile before becoming exhausted..
Why am I saying this , well yesterday I was soldering silver ringlets making a chain.. when I felt good I was setting my jewelry tumbler on fire, (shocking to see) I have no memory other than beginning.. if there had not been the accidental fire I would have never known I had an explicit episode.. I wonder how many I have really had..😏 good thing I quit driving years ago.

I read this in Russia Today involving the mega wealth.. my thoughts well read first
For the truly weird mega-wealthy nerds, like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, the dreams of civilisation as they imagine it stretch far beyond the boring blue planet we currently call home, with colonies of wealthy space-dwelling expats living the high life on Mars, while indentured AI robots mine red rocks and precious metals to send back to Earth to fund their lifestyles.😷

A while I decided call this style of ¿poetry? clumping .. it really does not fit into japanese Haiku style, but it is what originally inspired me decades ago when i published online using a major provider. pre-google around 25 years ago.. miss my old webpage (pre blog I had to write my own html script (fun hobby))
some times it is reasonably good most of the time it is horrible as I write it with out thinking. (bad boy) sometimes i would write driving dow 2 lane highways at 100 + kph (60 mph +) i know really stupid ,, traffic or no traffic still stupid..
I simply was putting 3 lines together..
now you know how clumping cam into being for whatever worth it is.

A nice reverie, Lee. I guess I depend on consensus reality, what I can sense and perceive that others demonstrably sense and perceive.

I like to research, medicine, science, philosophy, theology, religion, art, music...so many things. I suppose consensus reality comes into play here too. Preferences or information with which I affiliate my knowledge and mental tendencies. For instance, it seems to me that every religion has a mystical tradition, and all of those have quite a bit in common. In practice, I've found that the mystical traditions offer me more than any others, so my beliefs probably fall into line with them.
Can I suspend bias, and be open to new information that my experience offers me? Sometimes I wonder if people can recognize anything new in their experience even though it is there. Entrenched in a bias that prevents perception from even allowing it to be recognized or become part of their experience.
If we all had no bias or structured belief, we might have less individual truth or reality, and more universal truth and pure awareness in our experience. It is a long road to get there, paved with introspection and self correction to shed the mental constructs we've been taught since birth.

Which is all to say, this not my first ride.I've been thinking for as long as I can remember. I know some stuff but believe much more stuff and disbelieve a great amount of stuff too.I've been back and forth with atheists sooo many times that I think I know thier concerns with theism, well at least the anti thiest athiest.It's about reason. They tell me that belief without evidence is unreasonable. And yes I suppose it is. So they smile at me when I say this, and assume they've won...But isn't that just a description of what belief is? Holding something to be true, that has not been shown to be so....So I ask them, are you loved?Yes I am, comes the reply. But can you prove that?Well of course, my partner shows me every day by their words and actions...Nice, I say, I'm happy for you, love is powerful, being loved is great isn't it..But can you show that your partner is not deciving you?Well no you can't. Because no matter how you try, you just cannot prove that what an other thinks is as they claim it. So ultimately you must believe...I'm a pragmatist, a realist, but also a thiest and here's the rub, a nilhist too boot.Seems contradictory no? A pragmatic and nilhistic religious bloke.It's not and I can readily explain how, but perhaps in another thread at another time. Here and now I'm speaking about belief and knowledge.Objective reality exists. Can I prove that?Nope. Ultimately Decartes' cogito ergo sum, does not work for me.I think, therefore I am...But I cannot conclusively show that the demon is not dreaming of me as A thinking being, any more than I can prove I'm not a brain in a jar or in any other way a simulated being....I call Descartes' wondering the first belief.I believe that I am real and live in a real universe, upon that foundational belief hangs all the other beliefs I hold and the very few objective facts I can claim as knowledge.What about you lot?Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Subject: Mind's Eye Re: Values
OK I'll weigh in on Values. I'm speaking from the vantage point of now being able to look back on a number of decades of my life and review the many expressions and stages of my self over time. I think that some of the values from as early as childhood stay with us all our lives while other values are only with us a short time and then are forgotten; and some are modified, shifted, re-imagined as we move through our lives. Like Allan, I placed a high value on sex in my 20s and early 30s. I then began to realize that although orgasms were a great experience, they actually had no weight or substance in creating an abundant life in which I wanted to live. I specifically thought about it in contrast with the deeply permanent resonance I experience when I hike through the mountains, river gorges, wild beaches and wilderness which remains in memory with as much harmonic resonance as the physical experience. It generates deep profound reverberations throughout my being that suffuses through my heart, soul, mind and body transforming my lived experience in permanent grace and belonging and participation in the life of the whole world and universe. The high value of art in my life (breathing it in with my eyes, feeling the wonder of it flow through my soul) and the creation of art through visual images and through words in poetry and creative prose, has been with me from my earliest memories at 3 years old and continuing to generate every aspect of my life and will until I pass on to another life. My enjoyment of friendships has been a high value for me as well. But it took me a long time to figure out what friends brought me joy and fed my spirit and soul with light. And now, although I still value friendships highly, I have realized an even higher value for me is the people I love deeply, and who love me deeply, and like stars orbiting each other our lives sing with the foundations of the universe.Allan

OK I'll weigh in on Values. I'm speaking from the vantage point of now being able to look back on a number of decades of my life and review the many expressions and stages of my self over time. I think that some of the values from as early as childhood stay with us all our lives while other values are only with us a short time and then are forgotten; and some are modified, shifted, re-imagined as we move through our lives. Like Allan, I placed a high value on sex in my 20s and early 30s. I then began to realize that although orgasms were a great experience, they actually had no weight or substance in creating an abundant life in which I wanted to live. I specifically thought about it in contrast with the deeply permanent resonance I experience when I hike through the mountains, river gorges, wild beaches and wilderness which remains in memory with as much harmonic resonance as the physical experience. It generates deep profound reverberations throughout my being that suffuses through my heart, soul, mind and body transforming my lived experience in permanent grace and belonging and participation in the life of the whole world and universe.

Communism, or whatever they are calling it these days, is Trendy. That's just the way it is. I wish folks better understood it's not the Marxist utopia they hope for but more along the lines of CCP style State Capitalism. We are most of the way there as I type this. I don't trust the media one iota of a scintilla.

That sounds great... I was saying same thing
Isolation is good Minds-eye a good solution for keeping isolation sanity,
I personally like solitude and have an excellent e-book library.. just purchased a new e-ink reader. I can even get and answer my email on it.. not bad for a toy.

What are the memberships ideas as to how we want to and how do we want to deal with the problems.
I do know my health is failing . Over the last year I personally have survived massive failure an covid-19. I have been going through Borg assimilation and now have a 3 chamber pacemaker to help regulate my heart rate..
I am recovering quite well and the Doctors closely monitor me.. Physical Death has become a reality.. I am not concerned about dying, but .... I am very lucky
So how and where do we want the discussion (s)
I probably did that wrong

Attention everyone, it seems Google no longer sends out messages to all members.
I am not sure what to do ...^ maybe send out an invitation to old members we have in our address books and send them an invitation to join us in our effort to restart (kick start) minds-eye.

quote from RP
Ok then what sort of form does God have?
now RP to answer that question I am going to have go beyond my mind's ability to comprehend and understand into the realm of I don't know.
I personally believe you can't separate God form his creation.. I have also observed that what works in nature is oftentimes repeated.
so the simplest conclusion is I (We) are only a part of the greater whole.. since we know matter (by God's law) be neither created or destroyed.. as for the Big Bang theory could nothing cellular division on a cosmic scale..
It could be possible that our universe is but a single cell within the Body of God?

Ultimately Decartes' cogito ergo sum, does not work for me.I think, therefore I am...But I cannot conclusively show that the demon is not dreaming of me as A thinking being, any more than I can prove I'm not a brain in a jar or in any other way a simulated being....I call Descartes' wondering the first belief.I believe that I am real and live in a real universe, upon that foundational belief hangs all the other beliefs I hold and the very few objective facts I can claim as knowledge.What about you lot?Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
