barriers to expanding consciousness

[sleeper]

your approach is like dropping coins into a slot machine that knows something.tim

that's true. i don't want to treat people like slot machines but i do want to engender an eagerness to share their knowledge, wisdom and kindness with me. so i /poke them until i get what i want, them sharing their personal bounty, i guess.

you've got an intelligence that can adequately formulate just as good a speculation as anyone else.

I'll never accomplish my life-goals on my own. i have placed tremendous faith in other people and try to honor that faith by placing my weight on their shoulders. I don't want them to pack me around, but i'd like them to help understand our shared human condition, solve our collective and individual problems, and share with me insights about things that i haven't even formed questions about yet. We can speculate, but i am confident that what you, I and others have to offer is more potent than speculation. what we share together is very valuable, a treasure of great worth, the ability to discover, create, explore, share stories, and know the truth.

i'd like to catch my breath here amongst the treadmill that this thread feels like.

well. at least you didn't call it a mouse wheel.

what do you think it means

I think that the nameless is our way of acknowledging that our language is inadequate for describing anything complete in it's wholeness. our language, as you know, can break ideas into infinitesimally small pieces, but it can not put them back together, it can not describe wholeness.

So everything complete in it's wholeness is also nameless. for now...
