Letters from the cave by alpha_3 on May 20th, 2009, 10:22 am
--I am very curious to see why my post in metaphysics has been transfered to Odds and Ends.

--It looks like this is not very polically correct to move posts like this.

--But I trust the administration of this site because they have tolerated much more "uncomprhensible" posts of mine than this one.

--Let's see if they finally move it again in its natural place.

--That does not mean that I am going to folllow any 'line".

Morality is easy by Mossling on July 15th, 2009, 3:25 am
It feels good to do good, and it feels bad to do bad.

How do you want to feel today?

One can choose one's experience by being aware of, and choosing, one's actions.

Politeness by Mossling on July 27th, 2009, 5:19 am
We will often be very polite to strangers, and very rude to the ones who are closest to us.

Shouldn't it be the other way around if at all?

Shouldn't our loved ones be given the politeness we reserve for strangers plus more?

It seems so.

Quantum Gravity Part 2 by Obvious Leo on December 14th, 2012, 11:54 pm
An expanding universe must expand in four dimensions, not three, because there can be no external frame of reference for time. This throws up some rather bewildering observer effects. The universe is expanding through its own temporal frame of reference. It is making its own time. This is the dimension in which entropy drives the expanding universe so we regard the universe as existing only at this temporal boundary. If we return to our balloon analogy then the skin of the balloon represents the time dimension and this is where the universe actually is. The three-dimensional space which the skin of the balloon encloses is the universe that we perceive. Therefore space is made by expanding time and has no independent existence. Although the universe is a finite entity it can have no spatial boundary, since it is everything that exists. However it must have a temporal boundary or reality could not proceed in an orderly fashion. The temporal boundary of the universe is the present quantum...

Contemplation by Timothy on May 29th, 2009, 2:47 am
Contemplation really isn't thinking, in the conventional sense; it's like picking up an object, observing it, turning it around in your hands, and letting the object tell you of it's story itself. The object has more to say about itself, than you have of it.

It's like the difference between thinking about a flower, and contemplating a flower. The former is a subjective to objective experience of sorts; you're scrutinizing the flower, deconstructing the flower in your mind, thinking about the flower. Your thoughts determine what you would know of the flower.
Contemplating is an objective to subjective experience, it's like looking upon the flower without thought, soaking up the experience of the flower, turning it around in your hand, in your mind; beholding the flower and it's essence.
Contemplation is consciousness without discrimination and judgment.
