The deeper meaning is found in the causes, effects and implications of cleaning (order, and ordering.)
Creation of order. Preservation of order. Destruction of order.

Philosophical discussion
Re: Philosophical discussion
Re: Philosophical discussion
Who would do that?
The distinction is purely conceptual within consciousness, inseparable from it. No one has ever seen consciousness, therefore, the difference is illusory, a difference where there is none. The word ''different'' is a concept known..no one has ever seen difference, no more than consciousness can be seen...consciousness is known, it is the knowing that cannot be known...you are that knowing.
And I have no idea as to HOW OR WHY dreaming happens, all I know is that it does.
Conceptually, there is space and the contents of space, however, the difference is illusory, since there is only consciousness conscious of itself alone all one without a second. The two things are actually one thing, there is no need for a middle man to point out difference.
I'm using the word ''space'' as a metaphor for consciousness.
Within the dream of separation, there appears to be separate things, known as conceptual objects. In reality, there is no object separate from the space in which is it seen, since the object is made out of the space in which it occupies. Difference is the illusion of conceptual separation, that takes place in perception, and no one has ever seen perception.
Reality is an illusion ..full stop.
I'm using the ''mirror'' word as a metaphor for consciousness, by the way...many words for the same thing, all consciously known concepts, inseparable from the knowing.
Concepts are known and are indistinguishable from the knower, because language is consciousness in the shape and form of language. In other words, there is only consciousness.
The distinction between the knower consciousness and the object known is consciousness knowing, the difference is purely illusional.
You can make up your own mind about what I am saying to you, you can reject what I am saying in favor of your own ideas, but it will not change anything I have said, because what I am saying I am very sure about, and nothing you say to refute my saying will make any difference to me, I already know that what I am saying is correct, so I'm just warning you here.
Well maybe to you there, but to me here, it's very well shown.
But this is just the play of concepts again.
However, when I use the mirror analogy I'm talking about being conscious, or aware you are aware.
Of course a mirror as it is known can be covered over by a piece of cloth, so that when you look in it, no image will show.
But I'm not talking about those concepts, I'm talking about consciousness, being and presence, which are all the same one state that cannot be covered over....When I close my eyes, yes, there does appear to be a covering over of images seen, for they no longer can be seen when I close my eyes, but that's not what I am talking about. Consciousness, being, presence, is still occuring whether there are images seen or not. As soon as I open my eyes, images reappear, because they are inseparable from the consciousness that I am, the distinction between the seer and the seen are conceptual. In reality, the difference is illusory.
Well of course, words separate consciousness into seer and seen, this is obvious to everyone.
The difference is conceptual,
No one can do that. Concepts are known by the seer, and the seer cannot see itself, nor can the knower know itself...without splitting it self in two...knowing and seeing are ONE without a second.. seeing and knowing as and through the concepts known, which are indistinguishable inseparable reflections of itself alone, all one. Any difference is illusory.
Age, you do seem to struggle with that word ''ILLUSORY''

But the point was, the mirror is a metaphor for consciousness, now that's not too difficult to work out that consciousness and the contents of consciousness are the same one phenomena.
Therefore, all there is consciousness appearing to be two things..aka subject and object...obviously.
Of course there is going to be a contradiction. For how can oneness be infinitely every other thing, of course it's contradictory, that's just unavoidable within the dream of separation, aka the conceptual realm of identification with thought.
So it seems, and is why we are still to this day repeating over and over again using words, what it is we are trying to show each other, because it's very difficult to put into words...not that it's impossible...
By the way, what I say does appear to you to be NONSENSICAL, ILLOGICAL, or SELF-CONTRADICTORY...is perfect CLARITY to me here...so think what you like, as it will make no difference to what I know and experience as truth here in my mind.
Re: Philosophical discussion
Effects are always the result of their Cause and could not exist without a first cause ... therefore in my humble opinion, the idea of a first cause was a huge and grave mistake, I mean look at what this first cause has started. Who or what in their right mind would cause this to happen...who or what ever this first cause is, is the only one responsible for everything that happens on this planet.... Oh, I guess that's no one then. No more need to pray to that great and mighty loving invisible ATOM in the desperate hope of saving your ass.

Why would any intelligent agency, create such a crude idea of making sentient feeling organisms, capable of feeling pain .. is just beyond my comprehension. Oh, thank fully, no creator ever existed. And is why the only way to endure the pain of living is to bear it out until it's all over, be comfortably numb like a zombie until dead.
What a joke, to think we were created by some loving God..words just fail...D fuck is wrong with people, just get me out of here, somewhere so far away from this clown planet.... please.
Only EFFECTS are known, not their first cause.

Re: Philosophical discussion
We may and can surmise that someone assembled the Legos into organized patterns, although without acceptable proof the ultimate origins of the elements comprising the little plastic pieces may remain unknown.
Re: Philosophical discussion
Lego pieces know nothing of their reality. The mind that constructed this plastic matter has never been seen. What is actual seeing can only be imagined, and even the idea of imagination is unimaginable...lego land is all that can be known, and wow we all love a good toy story.

But I did not lean on my computer to lose everything I'd written. I just pressed the submit button and got defaulted back to the login page. So I lost everything.
This has happened to me before, I think it's because if you take too long to post something, the forum automatically times you out, I'm not really sure, anyway, from now on I'm only going to respond to one point at a time, that way I won't get timed out hopefully. But yeah, it's a bummer when you've spent ages typing some carefully crafted ideas out only to lose it all, and it's like you can't ever recreate exactly what you said in quite the exact same way all over again, well I can't anyway.

WHY do you ASSUME that there is or has been ANY 'pithy-message method' AT ALL?
What, by the way, is 'pithy-message method', to you, EXACTLY?
will you provide ANY examples?
And, have you ever considered just asking me ANY CLARIFYING questions about the method or way I write BEFORE ASSUMING ANY thing at all?

From the context of the verse we can see that the deeper meaning is the order established by doing. Why? Mamma is being contrasted with Papa. Papa’s faith is people so he would be more concerned with feelings, which is not to say that Mama is unfeeling.Belinda wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 12:02 pmIs the "deeper meaning" the task that you do or is it the feelings of the people for whom you do the task?Age wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 11:05 pmTherefore, EXACTLY, as I have been SAYING and POINTING OUT, ALREADY.Walker wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 9:00 am

Re: Philosophical discussion
Yes I know. I read what you wrote. I just said that I did what you did, that is; lost everything that I wrote. Just like you did.
I then went on to explain that I just lost my writings in a different way than you did.

Did you read where I wrote that, 'What I found is if you just click on the 'Preview' or 'Submit' tabs, once more, then your writings will appear?
When I have a few times previously clicked on 'Preview' or 'Submit' nothing has come up, but when I click on again, then my writings do appear. This has happened when I have walked away for a while and come back to finish a response. There must be some time limit thing with it, but I have always got my writings back from that by just clicking again.
I certainly can NOT either.
