I'm so tired. I'll catch up am. I'm not sure I'll be looking so deep soon. I mean of course people are free to talk here as deeply as they like only I feel I understand now. I feel I've finished my journey really. Ended at Darwin really.

No peeking not because one dogmatically mustn't, but because it belongs in a different field altogether. Such peeking cannot reach beyond that field.

Beauty is perception without object Troy?

Troy this idea that we can't part know something. Really? Since when?

 

No partial seeing, I said.

 

As for beauty, it's really simple: close your eyes, right now. Where's the beauty?

There is no 'my journey'--the subject is still there, the preoccupation with one's corner, and so nothing was not only finished, but not even started. Square one. We always think we are moving away from square one, but really aren't.

 

Now what happens when this non-moving away is acknowledged? Square one remains square one. Then it's over!

Love is like a butterfly that's soft and gentle as a sigh.

Okay so I'm at the top of my Everest. I am. My journey is over. It is. I'm going to survey what I see and share it with you.

Then maybe talk about other things. Who knows? I know I won't be changing my notes to deal with my OCD. I know I can't cope any better.

 Precisely!!

 

  Beauty is there, if you close your eyes. And if you cannot see it with your eyes closed you cannot see it with them opened either.

Okay. So.

Where shall we start? At the beginning.

In the beginning natural forces existed. These natural forces created matter. These natural forces evolve matter. Think nature and causality.

That's all folks. That's it. It all just is.

So part of that is this consciousness thing. Nature experiencing itself. Also love. That's a part of nature too believe it or not.

Many of the things you assume to be real actually aren't.

Truly there is no choice, no beauty, no self, no righteousness. Life is neither meaningful nor meaningless.

Everything just is.

It's hard to accept I know. This might help you. Think of a sunrise. Beautiful right?

Actually no. It's just a bunch of vibrating energies. We human beings project values onto things that are false. They feel real to us but truly they aren't.

You might if you were able to accept all this wonder what to do about it.

The thing is though there is no you and everything you did, do, or ever will do is nature responding to causality and nothing more. You don't exist. Only as a part of nature. A part of everything.

There is no death. All there is is the one. Nature.
