mindfulness

Not only Shakespear's  Prospero, but also Rich Kelley claims this. It may be that was he says is false, but he has the right to have his perspective. And in this perspective meditation shows up in a new light. Buddha spoke about the five skandhas; material form, feelings, perception, mental formations and sensory consciousness. In Kelley's view the senses brings us the experience on Earth. But they also bind us to the Earth. That means, we think that the stage and the play is for real. But we are only here to have experiences that we have wished and  be entertained  and in that way learn new things. And therefore we have to live in an illusory world. It's looks like the Buddhist talk about of conventional and fundamental truth's. We have to deal with one truth at a time. But we can be aware of the other. The fundamental truth that Kelley experienced may be just imagination but is anyway interesting. And the idea that meditation can give us a tem

Its all about angles. If we use another perspective we can see everything in another light; Anat Fort speaks about that in this video The tunes  can be listened to in different ways. Dependent, for instance, on the mood we are in that day... But what about silence, is it possibly to listen to silence in different ways? or is the silence a reduction of all angles. To stop the interpretations and just leave things as "they are"... To accept that you fully can't understand the world. To leave concepts an ideas.... and anyway be alive.... as dog and cats are alive It's clear that language  isn't enough when we look at the stars on a clear night... Its impossible to really describe what we see Someone have said that we would go crazy if we really understood our insignificance in the universe... To meditate is in way to be smaller as the ego disappears when we empty ourselves. For a while the words  and all angles disappear. But inste

Maybe art is the best describer of life. As for instance dance. We are complex organisms. Its hard for us be guided by principles or rules. And if we do we often want to brake them, as we want freedom too. Evolution works in us and lights up our brain with desires like power, sex, food and so on....                                          But we may have have other and more subtle desires too Words speak in us.  The body moves in strange ways of itself, like cranes dancing.  We loose control, and we love it. suddenly life dances in us in new ways If we are in despair we have to remember;  everything changes and ends even bad times  we can all resurrect  from the dead and start to dance in joy                                           

The paintings of Turner is often recognized as representations of the sublime. The terrifying  powers outside of us, that we are drawn to and rejects. Schopenhauer divides the sublime in four different parts; The fullest feeling of the sublime is for him, "immensity of universes extent or duration (Pleasure from knowledge of observers nothingness end oneness with nature)." Wikipedia Note that it's about pleasure  even here. But it's not a pleasure that we desire, because we don't  fully know it, it comes sudden and unexpected, beyond all possibility and calculation. It can also include some horror or greatness that is hard to perceive. So its nor about beauty, though beauty can be a part of it.... Its more of sudden greatness... Nowadays we may relate to an indifference cosmos                                           Two galaxies colliding forming a giant heart                                           Beauty combined with horror.
