carin said:Such questions are really stimulating. I love to think about it. Finding words.
I like what you say, LiSe, about "I just have a vague idea, and leave it at that. Always nice to be confirmed by reality"
Wish I could be like that more often.
Human beings seem to have a great need to think about all that is possible to think about. Given the possibility to think at all. But it does not make things easier. At least, I feel that way. Maybe that is the reason why it is so soothing, to have an animal in your neighbourhood.
To discuss religion, or believing coincidence or science may have the function that the discussion wakes up something inside you, but mostly one disappears into an immovable state of being. Which gives a very unhappy kind of awareness.
Somehow I and you and we like to be right. And ARE we not right, in a small way, because we are unique? And is it not always a pity when someone does not see it the way I, you, we do from our point of view. At first anyway. The next moment things may change. This possibility, of the changing: (arousing fear, or insecurity, or excitement, or curiousity, etc.) is, for me, really what life is about. Or what time is about.
And the child, talking to the new teacher, is right, saying:"You don't sing that song right. It should be like this: . . lalalala-LA-lalala.
Sometimes I feel it is all about us, being seperated from eachother. Since we were born.

Our neurology does better than that in that with feedback, and so some history, survival is enhanced - and so we have developed memory systems etc that allow us to use the past to guide us in the present/future.

There, in my opinion, I am getting closer to god.With projection comes issues of transference etc and so interpretions of 'meaning' where there is none - no history (and so the link to the 'random' or 'miraculous').
More god.The notions of the 'random' and the 'miraculous' share the same space in that they have no history. From a prediction perspective, it is the current moment that predicts the next - as such there is no history, no 'yesterday', just this moment and the next.
And more..To communicate with the unconscious, to 'fish' in the sea, requires projection, we cannot directly 'talk', we have to use feelings, images, symbols to elicit 'resonance', to particularise, to get a 'best fit' symbol for a current situation.
Something to link to, something I don't have as conscious 'possession', something I cannot give a name, something I feel as knowing more than me. 'Me' being my everyday commonsense – wise – silly – stressed – relaxed – and whatever-else person, which makes a human being to a conscious human being. Living in a world with other human beings. But in that world I cannot find that answer. So I go search elsewhere. In the world of the miraculous. I know, it has no history, and it is not 'handy' and not effective for even the smallest tasks, which have to give some result in reality.When we access the IC for a 'divination' we are asking a question to elicit something we feel we believe we dont have - some history to link to, to give meaning, explanation to the question.

heylise said:For some strange reason, the answers which come from there give me joy, something which normal commonsense answers never seem to give in such big measures. Normal answers can be of great help. But these answers can transform me. They don't tell me literally what to do, but my decisions become different. I do the right thing without having to think about it.

lightofreason said:No. Go deeper - Tai Chi for particular, Wu Chi for the general. (chi = "extension", Tai = grand, wu = without, no)
