8 posts in this topic

Hi, I am studing Action. my fisrt go to read something was wikipedia 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(philosophy)

I can see that everything I do is related to some action or actions. Some of the most difficult and joyfull things we do are actions

ex:

Walk,Eat,move fingers, move neck, see something, hear or not hear something. well , apart that seeing we can sort of decide to open eyes and see or not but hearing is almost automati.

We take for granted all this things we Do forgeting that once we were a blob of meat moving in a woman arms, unable to even know our fingers were our own, we came with some instictual drives like sucking milk, crying when hungry and so on but many actions became skill that took repetition to become Intentional

  • Jump ( Knowing that the Ground is there
  • Throw an object (Subject /Object distinction)
  • Attacking someone intentionaly 
  • Running away from a threat
  • Running towards something we want
  • Running for Sport motives
  • Exercice in general
  • Selecting favorite objects (toys,books,clothes,utensils,
  • Selecting favorite peoples, pets,
  • Deciding to collect somethigs
  • Skills of self-care, house care, 
  • All the so for granted skills that we can do with Body

Then we have the Mental actions:

To connect a image with a sound and symbol ( That = Mother) we had learned so much of this that there are few thing in life that go unamed. One day I found an insect that I never saw in my life. The only thing I could say was that was an INSECT an even that category had to be aquired.

So we also have: Reflection,Preception,Connecting Ideias,Holding one Idea in mind, Losing the Ideia, Remembering the Idea again, Unsing Mind content to create new content.

We Play, Sing, Dance, Cook, Built, Write, Speak, Fuck, and we can deepen the ways we do all this, with more skillfullness and consciouness or less.

We can be accountable for our actions or not, pay consequeces for them or not, depending of where we live some actions can determine our sucess and others can ruin us. So there is the contextual nature of actions. In one country some actions result in you death, actions that in another country are neutral or even praise as good. 

I want to focus more on Intentional Action, What actions can be more beneficial from a Big Perspective. Imagine, an action one single action of pressing the trigger of a missil have consequences so vast that if the agent behind the action had a bit of reflection he or she would look to the button paralized in a double bind of "press or not press" Such are the power of actions.

Yeah of course all action are consciouness, but sounds reductionist for me to use consciouness like this. You could say that all Action is God Action, so what, and like this you avoid all the intelligence involved in the simple capacity you had to read my post and create another answer. I am saying that this very mental action of understanding some scribbles in a screen and concocting an answer is an amazing thing. You just are so used to it that you forget the miracle involved in this, not to say the miracle of writing. Have you ever saw a Dog writing in a board a message to another dog? 

even this expression 

con·coct

make (a dish or meal) by combining various ingredients:

"she began to concoct a dinner likely to appeal to him"

create or devise (a story or plan):

"his cronies concocted a simple plan"

Origin

mid 16th century: from Latin concoct-, literally ‘cooked together’, from concoquere. The original sense was ‘refine metals or minerals by heating’, later ‘cook’.

So you just go on in life cooking actions, totally unaware of how,why you do them.

Deisire and Belief have a big importance. Why to answer any question in any place is even acted? Nobody needs to do it, but all he see around is behavior after behavior. Why we want to DO somethings and not otherthings? 

What I wish from this side study is to defile the Science of Action. Even to come up from your Bed you need desire and belief. If you one day wake up and decide to stay there you could, you could just never come up and wait death to come. Or you wake up and some belief drive you to not get out. 

We take action for granted, when was an action that brogth you here, you father inserting his penis in you mother vagina. And why? Desire, Beliefs, They had the Belief that a Child would come out, and they probably in their entire life never saw that happening,unless they where Doctors or were present with 3 or 4 years old in a Birth. How many kids saw their young brothers coming out of a vagina?

Some observations I just made watching some videos and reading related posts:

The more detached you are from the outcome the more intelligent you can become, think of chess

Simultaneously, desire attracts its future fulfillment and drives evolution, the means is dynamic

It seems intelligence always opens new doorways and also stacks on top of all that comes before

Intelligence seems to be: There's a start and an end and intelligence evolves the bridge between

Yet on the other hand, where did the start and end come from? Evolved by intelligence also?

If you just maintain awareness of inclusion on everything that is around you before doing the action, that would be a great way.

I don't know if you have kids, but Imagine the love-inclusion you have when thinking about your kids, now maintain that feeling of inclusion-love to anything that appears in reality or that you will interact with before doing that action. 

Not only humans, animals, plants and even inanimate objects. 


Fear is just a thought
