Care to share. lol Blue, I've often pointed out the dualistic qualities between Facebook and GLP and how in one medium you are surrounded by people who know you yet discussion tends to lean heavily toward the superficial within a rigid social structure while in the other medium you are surrounded by people who don't know you yet discussion tends to delve so much deeper and reflects qualities of the true self for any given poster. So, we as GLP'ers spend much of our time where we are comfortable yet knowing that more people need to be exposed to the new perspectives and new ideas that have surfaced unannounced over the last several years. Because if the species as a whole is better informed about the situation they are in, than we will have that much better a chance at successfully navigating the situation we are in. And it's not a definitive situation, it's one that we're getting to know, step by step as aether likes to say. So it's a challenging thing to cross over to that other medium and express that. We've read about other GLP'ers and their experiences in crossing over to that other medium where they present things in a factual manner but they usually report back that they are usually ignored and tend to get discouraged by the lack of interest. But that's what we do HERE, as we work each other over with a coarse brush. We seek out substance and try and discern what's factual or not through our own discernment. That's not how Facebook operates at a fundamental level though. The fundamental operating level on Facebook is based on emotions. The politics and the breaking news and the relationships, it's a very emotional medium to work in. So in May I started with Part I. And in part there were deep personal reasons for doing so, as someone misrepresented me and that misunderstanding became how others viewed me, which didn't sit well with me for a long time. The other part was that I was taking cues from the synchronicities that seemed to surround me at the time. I would plan out the different parts but would never stick to the plan as it was always what was happening at the moment that dictated what I would post. The four parts were primarily made of simple statements or patterns and musical expressions that for me seemed to augment the statement/patterns. So expressing myself in that way seemed to fit better with that medium. And I never named or announced what I was doing, I just did it, and left it up to the reader to decide what it was to them. Like I said, I never named the parts but if I had to this is what I would name them. Part I - Character Part II - Perspective Part III - Ego Part IV - Love Those were the themes that were expressed at the emotional level and it felt really good to be able to represent myself that way for all to see. Which so far has had subtle yet positive effects on some whom I have a personal relationship with. In other words, some are reevaluating what they thought they understood about me. And it was a lot of fun to do too.  [link to www.youtube.com] ------ |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 17865384 United States12/02/2012 11:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Thrilla in Manila was the third and final famous boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier for the Heavyweight Boxing Championship of the World, fought at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines on October 1, 1975. The contest got its name from the frequent Ali rhymed boast that it would be a "Killa and a Thrilla and a Chilla, when I get that gorilla in Manila". Quoting: WikipediaThe bout is often ranked as one of the greatest fights of 20th century boxing, and is the climax to the bitter rivalry between Ali and Frazier. When Ali was stripped of the title in 1967 over his refusal to join the armed forces when drafted during the Vietnam War, Frazier had petitioned President Nixon to restore Ali's right to box and even lent Ali money. When Ali finally got his license back, they met in the bout promoters called The Fight of the Century, marking the first time that two undisputed heavyweight champions had met in the ring. The mutual enmity emerged in the build up to the fight, when Ali turned on Frazier, describing him as an "Uncle Tom", and a "white man's champion". Frazier in turn riled Ali by referring to him by his birth name, Clay. Afterwards the pair continued to trade insults, but by the time they met in a rematch, neither was a champion; Frazier had lost his title to George Foreman and Ali had recently been beaten by Ken Norton. In a promotional appearance before their second fight, the two had an infamous brawl in a TV studio while being interviewed by Howard Cosell. The rematch itself was a boring, poorly refereed affair. In the 2nd round, Ali stung Frazier with a hard right hand, which backed him up. Referee Tony Peres inexplicably stepped in between the fighters, signifying the end of the round, even though there was almost a whole minute left, giving Frazier precious time to regain his bearings and continue fighting. Peres also failed utterly to contain Ali's tactic of illegally holding and pulling down his opponent's neck in the clinches - which helped Ali to smother Frazier, and gain him the decision. This became a major issue in selecting the referee for the Manila bout. In September 1975, Muhammad Ali, having regained his title with a stunning Knockout of George Foreman, thought a third fight with Frazier at this stage would represent an easy payday against a big-name challenger who would be unable to live up to his billing in the ring. It instead proved to be a brutal, give and take affair, with each man absorbing a great deal of punishment. The fight finally ended when Frazier's trainer Eddie Futch refused to let Frazier come out for the 15th round, resulting in a TKO for Ali. ------ |

Quoting: BOWMAN I like them too Blue and I made them the centerpiece of Part IV of my "Bowman Does Facebook Summer 2012 Tour". The reason why I chose them is because I felt that they would be perceived as the least threatening and most interesting 'group' to pick in offering up a new way to see things. ------ Bowman does facebook summer 2012 tour.....Love it. Care to share. lol Blue, I've often pointed out the dualistic qualities between Facebook and GLP and how in one medium you are surrounded by people who know you yet discussion tends to lean heavily toward the superficial within a rigid social structure while in the other medium you are surrounded by people who don't know you yet discussion tends to delve so much deeper and reflects qualities of the true self for any given poster. So, we as GLP'ers spend much of our time where we are comfortable yet knowing that more people need to be exposed to the new perspectives and new ideas that have surfaced unannounced over the last several years. Because if the species as a whole is better informed about the situation they are in, than we will have that much better a chance at successfully navigating the situation we are in. And it's not a definitive situation, it's one that we're getting to know, step by step as aether likes to say. So it's a challenging thing to cross over to that other medium and express that. We've read about other GLP'ers and their experiences in crossing over to that other medium where they present things in a factual manner but they usually report back that they are usually ignored and tend to get discouraged by the lack of interest. But that's what we do HERE, as we work each other over with a coarse brush. We seek out substance and try and discern what's factual or not through our own discernment. That's not how Facebook operates at a fundamental level though. The fundamental operating level on Facebook is based on emotions. The politics and the breaking news and the relationships, it's a very emotional medium to work in. So in May I started with Part I. And in part there were deep personal reasons for doing so, as someone misrepresented me and that misunderstanding became how others viewed me, which didn't sit well with me for a long time. The other part was that I was taking cues from the synchronicities that seemed to surround me at the time. I would plan out the different parts but would never stick to the plan as it was always what was happening at the moment that dictated what I would post. The four parts were primarily made of simple statements or patterns and musical expressions that for me seemed to augment the statement/patterns. So expressing myself in that way seemed to fit better with that medium. And I never named or announced what I was doing, I just did it, and left it up to the reader to decide what it was to them. Like I said, I never named the parts but if I had to this is what I would name them. Part I - Character Part II - Perspective Part III - Ego Part IV - Love Those were the themes that were expressed at the emotional level and it felt really good to be able to represent myself that way for all to see. Which so far has had subtle yet positive effects on some whom I have a personal relationship with. In other words, some are reevaluating what they thought they understood about me. And it was a lot of fun to do too.

Intuition includes feelings or sensations too; a person may just suddenly feel, or know, that he or she is or is not to do a certain think. Most of the time intuition is without a pre-thought process. The knowledge is suddenly present within the person's mind; or the person just feels with a compelling force that this is the thing to do. Quoting: ThemysticaIntuition is frequently called a hunch, a gut feeling, a burst of genius, a gut response, and even luck. It is a function of the right hemisphere of the brain involving extra-sensory perception (ESP), but much more; it functions on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Each person experiences intuition differently. There may be physical sensations, such as tingling of the skin or a feeling of leaden weights in the stomach; clairaudient or inner voices (see Clairvoyance); seemingly explicable attractions or aversions to newly met people; inspirational solutions to problems; feelings of closeness to God or the Divine Force; mental imagery; or clue from the environment that alter personal plans. It is perceived in our culture as something that's "underdeveloped" but I think it's perceived that way because Western culture teaches and thinks with a heavy bias towards the left hemisphere of the human brain. ------ |

Quoting: ArunaLuna I think most people get to that understanding eventually and then find peace in the art of living it rather than trying to define/rationalize it. I think that is because there is no call or need being put on things like perception and how it is a variable that can be changed. We go through our education which more often than not set up in cookie cutter fashion. We get a job. Attempt to fit in. And try not to walk into each other as we stroll down the hallways looking down at our smart phones. There's no real importance being put on the act of thinking about what lies beyond our little systems here. Growing up and having an interest in astronomy was a key I think in letting my mind wander out there, where I would contemplate through endless hours about what the possibilities could be. My dad use to remark about how few people would look up at the stars. If your mind doesn't explore beyond the everyday mundane activities we carry out here on the ground, than I think it becomes so much harder to conceive of looking at things a different way, let alone actually experience such a shift in perspective. ------ |

To extend out the description that was made of Facebook having an emotional baseline in the way it operates, it is but a reflection of the reality that occurs in meatworld. And all I see out there are blind spots galore. I'm sure I still have some too. ------ |

Quoting: ArunaLuna Understanding it is probably just another small factor that affects the quality of the experience. I've been doing a little thought experiment lately in which the present me goes back in time to meet the 10-12 year old version of me. So I think back to what my expectations were of the future (now) when I was that age. And each time I run through this thought experiment, the young version of me is always quite stunned as to what the (now) me has to tell him. ------ |
