The blind mans dream ( Archived) (33)

That´s got to be your best ever ,Inspector Clouseau ...

Ah!! Oui Monsieur! Ewe mean like zis??

jeeez i would of just thrown a bucket of water over her...this is what clouds are made of....

AHHH REALITY ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING...

So that's where he went. My parents said he had gone to dog heaven, and my older siblings said he was taken out in the forest and shot. But ok. It was in 1983.

I like trees, I really do. They look very nice if I can brag a little bit about Norwegian nature. I don't know to much about them, but learning about how they work is really fascinating. On the other hand, there are many excellent writers writing really good, in depth, on how good they look. Reading it is very nice. As that knowledge increases, the understanding of the tree changes, as Eaglewoman says on the path of experiences.

But they are still not comparable to the tree itself. How it looks, with the act of seeing in itself, observing them in the moment, not what you know or what you have heard about them. As soon as you apply your knowledge, it is not the tree anymore, but our own understanding. Isn't that a contradiction to the tree in itself? because it is not the tree. As you walk past the tree, you know it is the same tree, but without that application, the tree change form and shape and you change aswell. Not sure if ppl care to notice these things. But the knowledge is then irrelevant to the tree, is it not? Because the knowledge is not the tree. I think the same about the truth, and then you may get what I mean with the dream.

I'll watch this thread too :)

But not what they look like!! He was trying to make her "see" (she was blind) via the touch

yer but nothing like the feel of fresh ice cold water to bring you back to reality....

cotton wool first,,,sense the feel dream..?...then the water ..reality..two birds one stone..

dreams are one thing always need to come back to reality....this is the quick way...

besides i would get a laugh out of it...thats all that matters..

The only change I see going on is your own education and knowledge of the processes of nature. Understanding or not understanding that doesn't change the reality of it. It is just you that has changed.

Well, exactly :/ the subjective part changes but the objective does not. The subjective part is not the truth, and leads to big questions on the entirety of the psychological, subjective part of humans, which is made up of contradiction, knowledge and experience.

By observing the tree without application there is no contradiction, no conflict. If one looks at the world, the society, or ones own life, there is huge contradiction, by this definition. Gathering armaments, going to war, political ideologies, nationalism, or conflict in relationships between husband and wife, parents and kids, etc. It explains a lot, especially the blind man listening to his own dream and not seeing the truth.

So, what is the truth

You sound smart, and at your age you must have many experiences. Maybe you can tell what the truth is.

If not, I'll re-open the basement
