now is forever

good idea bald zen master game good luck

@CreamCat yes. but how they work in the backgrounds etc. how pictures and videos are also hyperlinked. i only know very little about it, and how it works and always wondered. thanks for the little push. it‘s all a matter of keywords. i‘m usually going for pictures or videos but that’s very onesided, only faster sometimes.

@CreamCat actually i got more interested in the hyperlink thing now, than in the vids ?

@CreamCat and you used picture search?

@CreamCat western? eastern?

@CreamCat you sure it was not a zen robe?

@CreamCat i‘m no help i can’t remember names very good - but i got a face only problem - how can i research faces? ?

@CreamCatmaybe it’s not a budhist monk?

@Shin which of all the things you didn’t do yet related to budhism?

@CreamCat any further hints?

@pluto @CreamCatguess he’s a tibetan monk. maybe close to the dalai lama. just guessing by the clothes he wears. the symbol of the wheel in the end is also pointing to tibetan budhism.

i prefere the paper version. there was an article some years ago about different reading habits in paper or on screen. the result was: words on paper stick longer. for practicability on screen would be better. and for waste reduction and distribution reasons it would be better to get them from libraries. will try to do that more in the future again (because i read less since i didn’t check out the sourrounding libraries yet) i decided to mix it with only buying books that are somehow timeless, and if i won’t read those anymore i either put them in a box that says “to give away” in front of my door or i give them to this small book antique store around the corner. of course that’s only possible if they add some value. i wouldn’t want to miss visiting small independent bookstores anymore. in the end it depends on what you like better and what’s more practical to use for you.

doing the work even though we are used to this: we can even learn something about the better sitting position on the toilet. even toilets are full of bullshit. and especially unicorns are full of shit. holding one of their shitpieces in my hands maybe i was confusing it with a fruit while typing but am addicted...so i‘m the one who bullshits myself. but once again very interesting how i‘m therefore not full of science shit anymore. while i could go to any library to just read any random book about any material i wanted or any science i wanted if i wasn’t so centered on rechewing old grass. in the same way i could go to any fab lab and any coworking space and just learn there and bring my creative knowledge to them. the same way as any scientist could just go to any creative space to learn there and teach there. but all tribes use to stay in their bubbles just eating their own poo most of the time. it even goes further we would produce a lot of shit, in sense of waste. and a lot shit thoughts on solving the problem, especially in the authenticity field, because we would just create a new bubble where we would make wrong decisions if one of the people in the group wouldn’t remove all the waste thoughts. so i if i would take responsibility i would need better tools to remove waste thought, to not produce bullshit waste. so i would need the ability to either let them think for themselves and to listen very attentively, not overlooking something or to tell them very convincingly where it could be going. but that would be also full of bullshit so we still would produce a loooot of bullshit. especially the starting point would be so important. it would need to be something people find alluring to work on, something like bullshit...could be any bullshit though. because there is infinite bullshit out there. and i‘m bullshitting myself, that i could work on almost any bullshit and make it less shity, except that i‘m bullshitting myself with that because i can’t do that alone and so i don’t even turn one bullshit into gold. so that’s where the work on gathering tools starts, remove as much bullshit as possible from ourselves. because form follows function(ing) so we can be happy with our lives and in our society despite all bullshit and despite all unicorn poo. i‘m also full of shitty shoulds in my physical life, so many shoulds and want‘s i don’t know where to start with very often. but working on all shoulds simultaniously is also difficult. back to complete darkness with one grain of light. poolight ? ?

seams like hard work, i‘m still far from this level. a lot of people here would maybe rather smoke shit this week will be full of really bad shit i guess. or even with shit storms. facepalmbook is constantly flooded with that - but it mostly remains there - without noticing it just feeds itself. and i‘m doing that too right now, so i‘m starting to face real shit with the palm of my hand, now. by logging out. really can’t stop shitting around in my mind, this shit is really to addictive. the holy shit - bullshit would be also the shit of the minotaur, so the whole life maze would be really just made of shit. all status symbols all dreams and especially delusions. have seen a documentary about a tribe in africa, where they really mix bullshit in the clay, with a little straw to build their homes. you can also burn bullshit - it’s a very good fuel, maybe better than other shit. if you can make things out of shit - that’s something. very profound but first disconstruction ? then construction ?

and yeah, the new video... the greatest shit speach in history! „toilet satori“ yes? („“quote)

although i still dream of bathing in the turquoise caribean sea, diving to see corals, white or coral, they both are beautiful. and during the magical black night, i count the stars, or count on the stars to guide me. it all feels like freedom even the blues sometimes. for orange - i really don’t know where to put that - maybe make orange juice. the greens grow wild here anyways.

this morning i took a stroll to the bakery and there where leaves everywhere. i like the sound of the dry brown ones crushing underneath my feet i also like walking through the red ones whirling them up so they make this rustle sound. but this morning i didn’t really do one of them instead i saw how they fell from the trees like the pink cherry petals in spring. and i catched one of them while it fell in soft spirals. beautiful yellow in the morningsun.

how can we form new patterns if we don’t question the shoulds? and ask ourselves what we want to achieve with them instead? even going further, asking ourselves what we want with the wants before you can ask what you want with the wands. basic art metaphysiks for all arts.

maybe but you don’t have to. you could experience something though.

@Joseph Maynor you could also say everything is art, everything is philosophy everything is perception everything is experience everything is emotions everything is everything. and it would be true. but if people don’t contemplate enough - it just shows it’s a lack of this art.

what i was referring to @Joseph Maynor is that creativity gets cut if you have to back up everything that’s written. because a lot of times it’s just lifexperience or about personal problems and people are still in the learning process. by asking questions in the process, people start to go deeper into the topic and if sceptic about their own statement overthink and change direction, but if you cut this process from the start, you cut the natural flow. no boundaries was the thought.

that’s kind of nonsense, i back up my conclusions by being an artist - i back it up with my life so should i always tell my lifestory when i post something. that’s the facts discussion again. there are no facts for emotions, the emotion/motivation is the fact.

wasn’t the initial question about splitting off philosophy and speculative science? or changing something so the threads don’t get closed? in general splitting off forms splitter groups, and onesided discussion but not splitting off results often in hijacking. even though it can be fuel, it often goes off topic just running wild, without results to the actual question. maybe it could be interesting to tell people to open a new topic if that goes far far overboard, instead of closing some of them. going free and wild is very productive though

was inspired by the shigendo video and wanted to share a video of my favorite zen master. jeong kwan, is a korean budhism nun - korean zen and japanese zen are different, i like the expression of korean zen a little more. about the practices, the dogmatic ones i can’t say anything about... but i guess if you go searching for food in the mountains, i like that also more. notice, there is no meat on the table. instead it is a meeting at the table, sharing gathered food. for western society though, there might be no other way as the cold water shower first, or jumping into the sea ? until we see. maybe because there is still meat on the table. thanks for the food

decided to take a middle path first. i‘ll just reduce it gradually - incisions are not my taste. except for toxic addictions.
