Oh... Interesting... Will try to break down that distinction. -
How do you know what matters?

When I say think of a color I mean visualize/imagine a color. Since you cant hear a color or smell a color. Unless you have synesthesia. -

Okay! Makes sense. -

But its hard to ask the question without some form of contamination happening... The question is so very specific... How would you frame it? -

Okay, I see where youre coming from. Duly noted. -

I didnt know a thread could be a cult. I dont believe in anything. Im investigating right now. I like to investigate until I find a conclusion, right now I cant think of a color that isnt limited by a shape. Perhaps my way of introducing the topic wasnt the best. I will think of that in the future. "Can you think of a color without thinking of a shape?" Would be better. -

We can assume the visual field ends since we cant see literally everything. -
Rilles replied to Rilles's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You said the visual field is kind of infinite. What kind of truth is that. -
Rilles replied to Rilles's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
In my direct experience what you said is not true. So I'm keeping up the investigation. -
Is shape just the limit of color? What the hell is the visual field? Thoughts.

I like to research history once in a while, mostly to get a big picture idea of human/societal development over time. I dont love it though, its probably around the 10th spot in my hierarchy of subjects I find interesting.

Were not trying to 1-up eachother. Its just an interesting phenonema I wanted to share. Its an open-ended investigation of perception. If you think youve reached some conclusion then good for you. Youll get an Actualized gold-star from Leo in your mailbox next week. -

Haha for me it becomes a triangle. A shape needs a limit and the limit needs a color. Haha this is fun. -

Okay I misunderstood you, You mean everything in vision. Yes. Everything in the visual field is color and shape. -
Rilles replied to Rilles's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Are feelings a shape? Is the phenomen of sound a shape? -
Rilles replied to Rilles's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Dont know. Something to contemplate. -

I cant draw it here but the visual field has a limit. You cant see 360. So you can imagine a color but it will be limited by your visual field. The visual field has a circular quality. Its good that you take my question seriously but I would advise you not to be so hasty. Think about it first. -
Rilles replied to Rilles's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Is your visual field finite? -
Rilles replied to Rilles's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
The visual field is a shape. -
Learned a bit of philosophy today. Read about David Hume. Awesome guy. Apparently he knew about Buddhism. Thats why he invented the concept of the Bundle Theory Of Self which is very similar The Skandhas/Five Aggregates. He also talked about induction. Induction is when you assume that the quality of one thing is inherent in the quality of all similar ones. For examples... All fires are hot... All swans are white. Induction can be good but it can also trap us. All swans are not white. Most fires are hot but we dont know if all of them are because we havent explored the entire universe.

Depends on where youre at in the Spiral, purple/Green is pretty woo-woo, I would say a combination of Orange/Green is the best. Dont forget the nose-ring.
