Are We Done Here?

Then I suppose there is really no need to exist at all. Or we exist only to be still and watch? Is that the moral of the story? Participating with existence is about being still and watching? Is that the philosophy? Some deeper existentialist thought that I am missing about existence? So observation alone is existence?

By even making a comment one is more than an observer. Doing more than being still. One is participating in observation. Participatory observation? Are you familiar with that concept? Is the Bible familiar with that concept? Or are you speaking of the concept that the very act of observing creates change?

I did not read back through this thread. Perhaps my questions have already been answered. If not, it would be great if you give it a try. Not ‘give it a try’ in like a gamey way, but like, another way. Beyond a Bible verse type way. Beyond the old paradigm selected lines and verse.

Especially since we are discussing the concept of a new paradigm here. Or so I thought that is what is being discussed. Do you want a new paradigm? Or is this about rewriting the old one? Updating the language of an old one?

Are we being participatory observers in rewriting old paradigms? Or writing new ones? Seems at some point one really must, yes, make the time to be still and know the answer to those last two questions, especially. (Unless seat of one’s pants quantum chaos is one’s only bag.)

But do keep in mind that by making the time to answer such questions, or even reading them, or even checking back to see if some one made a comment to your comment, you will be doing more than observing. More than being still. Whether you answer them aloud with a comment or not. You will be participating in watching yourself exist.

Perhaps one could call that ‘amazement’. Amazement, to me, almost seems a disclaimer against disappointment. But that is probably just me. I suppose both amazement and disappointment can be equally observed in the be still and know I am God lingo and one may find that amazing. Depends how much one enjoys watching themselves I suppose.

Edit quote to fix the typo. Don’t want to look bad, yah know, with a typo hanging out there in the universe.

muse you sexy mynx! :D
is there really a point in existing, besides getting the whole experience down here?

I believe we need to realize we are observers, but we also have the gift of participating. We can observe our actions and how our actions may play out so we need to take responsibility for that and I hope that is what the new paradigm will be focused on. It's building upon this one because we have the right ideas, it's just been empty. Empty because we don't realize how our actions affect everything.

If we purely existed to be still and watch we would not have the intelligence we have. I truly believe that at this point. We are able to separate ourselves from the rest of the animal kingdom and there is a reason for that. We have forgotten our potential and what we are capable of. Basically I think it's the potential to be infinite. I don't know, these are just my thoughts. I share a lot of the same questions and wonders regarding whether we are purely just observers or if we need to participate in some way. Not even really participate, but just actively think about all of our actions to see how they will affect the future and how our intentions are affecting things.

indeed we are, we are able to express our thoughts and feelings to eachother with ease, well relative ease.
but what in this world can we really influence in a way, greater than an animal can? (yes I realise we are pretty great with tools and technology - but apart from that)

we could be great watchers and guardians, but we chose not to, but what gave us that choice, inderectly? who is to blame? :p

The key is to find balance.

With playing games.. You should be..

As the mirrors are closing down from all directions you are more then right with your instinct or feeling that noticed echo coming back , faster and faster.. and that is logic if you know that mirrors are closing down on us..from all directions.

Damn, nice post.

Reminds me of the Vitruvian man thunk with angels alighting on either shoulder.

See y'all in 3 days.

luv ya man. 3 days it is...

I edit quotes to fix typos or maybe add a thought...but only right after I post. Is this a no no?

tying up loose ends.

Everything is Jesus, Everything is Lucifer, Everything is Heaven, Everything is Hell. The point of us was to divide. We are the creator who has become schizophrenic. You try living for an eternity alone without losing your mind. There is an important reason why none of this makes sense. We(as in I(as in you)) just wanted to get away from it all...

love this. short and to the point :) lots of truth in it tho! Hopefully we can bring it back together on a collective level, one connection at a time!

Hey MI.

This one stuck out for me as well. It is part of the deeper reality of everything.

I figured it out.

feeling this too

I figured it out.
