Thought Art

I’m in a process of maturing and working through a life transition. Haven’t been posting much or following many threads. I haven’t seen much that’s drawn me in. I am also working on creating a and contemplating more. As well I’ve been getting some much needed socializing and exercise in nature. I don’t know. Forum seems to be improving. A lot of the drama is leaving it seems. Which is good.

These guys helped inspire since a young age to pursue truth and spirituality

Hmmm, maybe?

Do you mean summary? Try googling it. Headway also has it in their library I think.

So mature

There is such as thing as absolute truth. Most people have their own “relative truth”. If there wasn’t an absolute truth..,how could there BE? Perhaps, it’s worth contemplating this for awhile. There is no NEED to be interested in truth. But, there is an absolute truth you can realize. The important thing here is to contemplate the distinction between relative truths and absolute truth. Here is a video:

Cool

I loved the clips it’s just a new channel.

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall She sees a bartender in a pool of blood Cries out, "my God, they killed them all" Here comes the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For somethin' that he never done Put in a prison cell, but one time he coulda been The champion of the world Three bodies lyin' there, does Patty see And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously "I didn't do it" he says, and he throws up his hands "I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand" "I saw them leavin'" he says, and he stops "One of us had better call up the cops" And so Patty calls the cops And they arrive on the scene With their red lights flashin' in a hot New Jersey night Meanwhile, far away in another part of town Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around Number one contender for the middleweight crown Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road Just like the time before and the time before that In Paterson that's just the way things go If you're black you might as well not show up on the street 'Less you want to draw the heat Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around He said "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights Jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates" And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head Cop said "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead" So they took him to the infirmary And though this man could hardly see They told him he could identify the guilty men Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in They took him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye Say "Why'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy" Here's the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For somethin' that he never done Put in a prison cell, but one time he coulda been The champion of the world Four months later, the ghettos are in flame Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame "Remember that murder that happened in a bar?" "Remember you said you saw the getaway car?" "You think you'd like to play ball with the law?" "Think it mighta been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?" "Don't forget that you are white" Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure" The cops said "A poor boy like you, could use this break We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello You don't want to have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow You'll be doin' society a favor That son of a bitch is brave and gettin' braver We want to put his ass in stir We want to pin this triple murder on him He ain't no Gentleman Jim" Rubin could take a man out with just one punch But he never did like to talk about it all that much "It's my work" he'd say, "and I do it for pay And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way" Up to some paradise Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice And ride a horse along a trail But then they took him to the jailhouse Where they try to turn a man into a mouse All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums To the white folks who watched, he was a revolutionary bum And for the black folks he was just a crazy nig*** No one doubted that he pulled the trigger And though they could not produce the gun The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed And the all-white jury agreed Rubin Carter was falsely tried The crime was murder one, guess who testified? Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride How can the life of such a man Be in the palm of some fool's hand? To see him obviously framed Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land Where justice is a game Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell An innocent man in a living hell Yes, that's the story of the Hurricane But it won't be over 'til they clear his name And give him back the time he's done Put in a prison cell, but one time he coulda been The champion of the world

It feels profound

Hi Leo, why don’t you like Kant?

I have found that lots of reading with little experience or socializing makes you dumb

@Jacob Morres Take action and read The Success Principles by Jack Canfield

Meta God

God being infinity sort of implies an infinite of Gods which is one. There are infinite degrees of infinity and and infinite infinite degrees of infinity. I don’t know

@StarStruck Personally, found Rational Cognitive Behavioural psychology along with Peter Ralstons work… which is rooted in Zen to be very powerful. Positive Psychology Rational Cognitive Behaviour Zen/ Spirituality/ Mysticism I think it’s important to be familiar with the different lenses of psychology. Like, being familiar with Carl Jung, Adlerian Psychology, Freud, psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, rational cognitive behavioural psychology, mind body science, and mysticism, etc Once familiar you realize that 90% of it is bullshit, contextual, relative, partial, etc Part of the reason to be familiar with the field overall is to dig the nuggets of gold and to feed your contemplation and direct, objective observation/ contemplation of your own psychology. Recently been reading Peter Ralston… very direct insights that are fundamental. I think you’d have to be a fool not to read all of Ralston’s books. Part of the design of the universe is to enjoy the mystery and the exploration of these ideas, if you enjoy doing that. I enjoy Peter Ralston David Richo Vernon Howard Gabor Mate and others I’m still rather young in my exploration and embodiment. Note: thanks for the video share!

Addiction free living is a goal of mine

Not an easy question. They come with risks. Part of the process is your own contemplation. What you take from it, observed honestly over time…

Leo is pure jk Leo’s non-click bait (mostly) titles are appreciated.

Music, YouTube, phone, weed, worry, All good things. The really problem I think for me is I need more time just being, in silence. Whether reading, writing, meditating just being lazy in silence.

Gnosis don’t pay the groceries

Forget about solipsism. Just be yourself. When you conceptualizer something which you have no experience of… it ain’t the real dealio. Focus on living life, that’s what’s actual.

True... I want success and a good life. But, I don't deserve one just because I am me. Taking a break for awhile from this place while I focus more on what is actual for me. Stay well everyone. If I don't make it, live a good life for me.

@Yimpa Haha, maybe.
