   So I was both the observer and the observed. That's another complete change of perspective. As I was telling you before I I thought that I was separate from the world. Now these experiences I am the world observing myself. big change of perspective. I am a part whole of one. I I have because I have the same character of one. I have the same potentiality of one. But I'm I'm also a part of one. Just like a cell in our body is a part all of the body because it has the genome of the entire body. Every cell contains the genome of the whole organism of one of the one organism. This case we are we ar…

   Well, one um one e easy distinction is between between life and non-life. So, at least it's fairly easy. There are borderline categories like viruses that we don't know whether they're really alive or not. But I think if one thinks about the root of the word which is having a kind of spiritual soul, I think that all matter has this and matter the the purely material cosmos uh whatever it was that existed before there was life on earth exhibited certain interesting qualities. The first is that it was creative. Why? If there was just stuff um which had no meaning, no context, no direction, no va…

   Of course, most activity is undertaken with a some purpose in mind or other, in which case it is craft, however hum-drum the theory of it might be. For example, I just ate an orange which I took from a bowl; the theory of what I did could be written down in a practical guide to eating oranges. But surely I was conscious of eating the orange; by Collingwood’s theory, then, was I not expressing something? In that case, by the same theory, just by being conscious, was I not engaged in art? And is that not absurd? Collingwood says nothing in direct reply to this worry, but I think it obvious that …

   Yeah, I sort of recognize it when I was more, you know, I was brought up Christian. My dad was a minister, so I know what you wanted to experience that direct religious experience. And I could just not get there somehow And I tried all techniques that the religion I was in sort of gave you. You're not just going to large events and singing pop songs about Jesus and trying to just get there, you know, and and it didn't work for me. So I know that sort of pain and also only through, psychedelic substances that I sort of first got there. But, what also, I found interesting to sort of translate a …

   There was a field and in this field all the qualia were all in this field of qualia but there was no observer. So there was there was a field of stuff that I recognized as lights, as sounds, as emotions, but they were not my emotions because there was no me yet. So I I perceive, you know, the way I reconstructed this later was that it it was an experience when I was very young maybe one two weeks old. So these other experience you know so now now it's before there is even an observer but there is a field of stuff just to give you a few then I was out of body okay so my conscious is not even in…

   Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. Make your choices and you create your life.

   Presumably, then, ‘a life,’ in the sense we are discussing, refers to the history of something that is alive. In that case what we are really looking for is clarification of a property, not an event. We want clarification of what it is to be alive. According to a second theorist, Peter van Inwagen, while a life is indeed an event, it is not the history of something. “‘Russell’s life,’” van Inwagen writes (1990, p. 83), “denotes a purely biological event, an event which took place entirely inside Russell’s skin and which went on for ninety-seven years.” Russell’s life included the oxygenation o…

   Thus if we try to analyze our own emotions we hardly possesses them any longer. So in introspection or reflection we reduce flowing spontaneous activity in time nonobject for example V music on an object of this reflection but this objectivising and description of that is already not the original experiencing of music. Accordingly, Bore declared that I quote words like contemplation and valition or we can use more words. Words like contemplation, reflection, thinking and valition, instincts, spontaneity feelings. These words like contemplation, evolution, referring to situations which are mutu…

   If you know that there is just this and that it is you and that it is beyond time, beyond space, beyond definition and that if you clearly come to a realization that this is how things are, it gives you a certain bounce. You can enter into life with a an abandonm with a freedom from basic terror which you would not ordinarily have. Yes, you can be very hooked on the form of life which you are now living. You can consider that uh myself say as Alan Watts is an immensely important event and one which I wish to preserve and continue as long as possible. But the truth of the matter is that I know …

    I hope you enjoyed this random stroll. I hope this new idea for a blog stimulates you to think and ask better questions to improve your current condition. We all must become aware of what we might not know, because this is often where our truth lies. **The wonderful thing about science is it’s *alive*. **Religion is a culture of faith and belief, but science is a culture of doubt. When you understand this, you must ask better question to get Nature to show you her recipes. ****
