  1. Parts of what you were saying probably do make sense in that basic English sense, but i couldnt really know (not sure i can ever know really). I have like a very specific idea in mind now/thus i cant remember 100% how far off, or how close to, etc, etc., and its also hard to really go on like, a purely broadened overview, seeing as theres some little details / directions / questions, Do we care about survival? Do we want to "know" something more specific... Or does it all end at "absolute" and its understandng of? I dont have them questions on my dashboard / queued up right now exactly, but those are questions that can change things drastically.
  2. Im thinkin on this one right now, cause Being might already carry "totality of", but Being also functions as the first thing towards all other things, however in the context w/ no qualities, then you cancel out the very thing itself, right then and there, which means you have the centipedes dilemma thing, that is "explaining experience, while experiencing", so in that sense, Being is already the totality you are searching for then. Being can be the absolute, or you can frame Being as more like, the necessary component (or something...) cause like... English didnt really work on making Being a defined term, so if you are using English to investigate Being, its using this limited pointer construct to do so... Like the hierarchy of words matters in reflecting the understanding of Being, is all i was tryina get to really, but there are ways of "getting up to that plateau of understanding" prior to knowing that hierarchy of Being (Being of hierarchy)
  3. Oh thats def somethin' — That is — You got the purely absolute realm, to try to encapsulate — which is really the experience and the-idea-or-intention-in-active-pursuit thing, of which is needed to activate the levels of everything inside that absolute realm — And then, you have those details-of-description... That is itself good to get across, for im not entirely sure if thats something that like.... iuno... Do people just know that? Like, im not sure. Ergo, its good to just say / communicate.
  4. (i dont know if this connects to whats been last said, but seeing as i was already in the middle of writing it, and it looks like it does, im sending it) Like, for instance, if all there was was a subtractive thing, like a zero mechanism-thing... zero purpose... what would you have, right? Youd then be subtracting... Youd be experiencing still, but calling it all zero... So on the most primitive subtractive level, it most certainly doesnt mean anything to you to keep subtracting and subtracting (not that you were doing it, its just a thought) Granted, on LsD / shrooms for example, you are introduced to something of a felt subtraction / machine, that you later are able to internalize into words that those w/ said exp., will recognize, assuming 'they follow that same realm of reasoning? (they might not have ur undivided attention that day, ya never know). Its like 10 years later, it finally paid off, it finally made some sense, and so, it starts to make much more sense at that point, that particular experience/state of consciousness. p.s. theres too many damn paths dangit. im confusing myself.
  5. Sorta, ya... theres less emphasis on like, the action by which its operated, like "the fast switch" part, since thats one of many mechanisms you could imagine it as, i mean, theres gonna be atleast "one" mechanism to underlie it, put it that way. Which is not to say that its as boring as it sounds, im just following your introduction.
  6. @Joseph Maynor This is kinda wat i was imaginin, tho its missin some rock / jazzy elements and such (im surprised by some ofthese covers, but the ai makes some unusually robotic vocal and rhythm decisions at points, like unatural stops imo)
  7. Jamaican cooking is part of the mystery school Speaking of beans, i wrote up this little jokey/rant — A midnight rant on cooking. It may come off critical, but ya gotta keep reading. i think it will fully cover all the moral stops and jenga and watknot, such that its not so bad. ... If you rewind the clock, there were alot of passionate mothers cooking food, And naturally we have lost alot of that passion and knowledge. Its just not a priority like it once was, and as a result, you have this new hierarchy / situation ill be revealing. ... To start w/ I wouldve said the Italian mother's really understood how to distill that affectation of the split components, such that you had that smooth, glossy affectation on one side... the dedicated entree (meat, vegetable, etc.) on the other, however most of those gransmas died w/ their recipes!... So then we go to the middle east, where everything is a little more rough and tumble, like you get more rough, grainy textures, less attention to affectation. Then we go back around to Georgia, Russia/Ukraine and those kinds of places... And thats where affectation starts to return a little, only made prominent once we arrive in Chinese/Japanese places, where plenty of knowledgable cooking alchemists are striving. The last stop is Jamaica, where good cooking is almost a requirement, and to me thats the last stop here, because everywhere else doesnt capture wat im tryina express, so much as they have like, signature street/fast foods, which do not fit in this criteria. It has to be more like an affectational meal, if you know what i mean by that... Like it cant be grainy textures nd watknot 😆 It has to be like, the affectational meal made for people who have Crohns disease, like... Iuno its hard to explain. The only reason the middle east doesnt meet the full A+ criteria is because of traditions and dryness lvl (tell me im wrong, bet...). When people marry themselves to traditions, they miss out on that extra, extra love and innovation. Besides for that, middle eastern families are incredible cooks w/ highly prized recipes w/ alot of potential to investigate. As far as Greek food, to me Greeks (Ancient Greeks) are better at explaining what NOT to eat... to avoid a Crohns attack. Most families assume you should just consume, consume, consume, but to me, Greece is the only place that was like "We dont eat beans" (Pythagoreans + Orphics, etc.) I dare you to try eating baked beans one day, and tell me you dont feel like you have to go to the hospital 12 hours after. Regular beans, not only are they grainy, They have this texture that turns into concrete for some reason, so you have to be careful. Soybeans and fava beans are more like, specialized ejaculation beans. And for some reason, even though we love soy sauce, real Chinese soy sauces have more soy, and subsequently more of a BBQ flavor, which is why i prefer the Japanese/American soy sauce. But Chinese have all of the base recipes that we are now using as the pinnacle. If Italian grandmas were not all deceased, their food wouldve been the pinnacle, im tellin ya!... we just live in a shty time now. P.s. Alot of African Americans are really good at "cookin things up" if ya kno wat i mean, And i could imagine they would be A++ cooks, cause they actually have more technical cooking skills than most, where the difference between trash and *product comes down to the pico-second. So they actually have an experience no other person has, which is exactly that alchemical cooking principle that im talking about. They are all this generations cooks. White Americans? They are good at Ozempic face and things like this... I European cooks all died. Thats been my experience. They all died, lol. Its funny, even if, there are cases where its not true. Like I think the joke has more function to it than the details. Essentially, All the Other World's books depends on the bean counter, lol, whatever that means.
  8. Jeff the yogu What is time, And can you be w/ nature, the birds and the bees, the body, the trees, and can you see what everything is, or forget and see to what truly is? Or is there something to see, a war to be freed from, and more and more and more, what do we seek, What is time when its 'let be, That time w/ eyes closed, heart so wide, whatever it may be on the other side. You'll see into air like time's flare, illumination stare from every direction you care. Its just a poem i wrote to illustrate the video. p.s. avidya was one of my names on another account, tho i just didnt use it much, suffice to say it communicated that side to this idea thats hard to describe, even tho im not a big sanskrit guy, theres avidya and a few terms we could def use
  9. (cont.) @NewKidOnTheBlock Like, i dont even sleep. I stay up 100+ hrs., just thinking into mystico-philosophico-wanderings... Apart from all of the art/language (so much so, that anything about religion and politics is very low on my register, beyond the bare-basic knowledge ive shared), and then i oscillate over that routine - over the course of a period or two, w/ the intention to get everyone thinking, wherever the needle may land; As the mean, median and mode of exploration / thinking in general.
  10. Good. The answers, "Yes". Its about whatever you are willing to share / participate in, overcoming any stigmas attached... The answer is "Yes". And "goood", As far as your willingness to share. Im tryina get some real muslim/ islam ppl thinking, for they are who keep stressin the significance of god and islam, but im the wrong pers. in their eyes, assuming they wanna cont., teachin me, for, im just a person getting everyone to think.
  11. We often get confused cause its like, once we focus in on one particular era or time, we miss the cultures, wars or events happening around the rest of the world, or in the rest of the age of man, etc., cause, to begin, you have humanity developing in Africa (i think its agreed that most humans started in Africa, and slowly evolved / branched out north/westward...) especially given the flood / coastal regions changing their shape... note: we're startin waaaay back now... and jumping ahead... That then leads to humans progressively moving west, but some return east, and back and forth, such that you get this larger spiral shape, smaller when we go back far enough, and it progressively spreads, such that you have Proto-Celtic / Scandanavian people cork screwing in, in what they call a corded ware culture(s) (among other more specific names) Which is just to say, i focus mostly on Ancient European places now, which is lesser known, compared to the middle east, which is well documented w/ artifacts for dating and such... I just like that mysterious Berber-Phoenician wave, and the subsequent A, B, C's Phone-a-bet, like the earliest mysteries of that .... Which i bring up to share something interesting that isnt "24-7 war..." And having to constantly think thats what its about. That would be terrifying. p.s., im also doin alot of language research, ive just taken a commercial break/hiatus, while... Although i feel its cool, its prolly not as important as communicating w/ real ppl to make sure that theres essential / real emotional content shared + passed down.
  12. Just so we all know the names of the eras in that range of periods, it is, considered as, roughly speaking, Late Antiquity — c. 3rd–7th/8th c. AD Migration Period — c. 375–568 AD (overlaps Late Antiquity) Early Medieval — c. 500/600–1000 AD Merovingian (Early Medieval, Frankish) — c. 481–751 AD Carolingian (Early Medieval) — c. 751–887 AD ... p.s. Carolingian minuscule was the standardized script developed under Charlemagne's reign (late 8th c.) Ottonian (Early Medieval) — c. 919–1024 AD High Medieval — c. 1000–1300 AD Romanesque (High Medieval) — c. 1000–1150 AD Gothic (High/Late Medieval) — c. 1150–1400 AD Scholastic (High/Late Medieval) — c. 1100–1400 AD Later or/Most-late Medieval — c. 1300–1500 AD Trecento (Late Medieval, Italy) — 1300s Renaissance — c. 1400–1600 AD Quattrocento — 1400s Cinquecento — 1500s Northern Renaissance — c. 1450–1580 AD .. et caetera.
  13. @NewKidOnTheBlock p.s. the name muhammed isnt unique to that bespoke late antiquity era, see also, Muhmed II "the Conqueror" — led the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, ending the Byzantine Empire. Muhmed IV — Ottoman sultan during the failed 1683 Siege of Vienna and the long Great Turkish War that followed. Muhammad bin Tughluq — 14th-century Delhi Sultanate ruler, constant wars across India. Muhammad Shah — Mughal emperor during Nadir Shah's invasion of India (1739) and the sack of Delhi. Muhammad Ali of Egypt — 19th-century Ottoman-Egyptian wars, including campaigns in Arabia, Sudan, Greece, and Syria (1820s–40s). Muhammad Ahmad ("the Mahdi") — led the Mahdist War against Anglo-Egyptian forces in Sudan (1881–99), including the famous Siege of Khartoum. Askia Muhammad I — Songhai Empire wars of expansion in West Africa (late 1400s–early 1500s). And thats just some from 1400 to 1900, theres even more.
  14. Yous have roughly three options, as far as how ppl are to see your stance on war, generally speaking, A) "Im illiterate, so i dont know that theres a real worry around war / and i didnt know the passive case was even an option, B) "I do treat war passively, because, they are their own persons, their own independent persons, who can make tough decisions whilst doing so on their own trip and w/ their own necessary judgements", C) "I think of war like 5-10 year olds do, like its a win / a triumphant scene of celebration qnd badassery... a perpetual win... and losing is not an option .. losing is only what happens in a fantasy realm" ~which i bring up, for if anyone were to lose, it wouldnt feel very good, and you might rethink said win v. loss conditions. It might actually change who you are as a person, like you might become a crazy person to others who dont yet understand what that feels like deep down. Communicating which person you are is the only way to get on the same page as your compatriots.
  15. That counts as late antiquity, atleast in Peter Brown's work. The details of what you were on about werent what i was interested in anyway, it was the larger sentiment on war (see also, other threadz, to understand it)
