When we make an accusation as opposed to questioning something we live immediately under the threat we have named. The accusation convicts us regardless the subject may be not guilty.
Accusations convict the accusers who make them of nothing but their accusations, or would you accuse them of more? Accusations can always be lifted. Corpses too, though they wouldn't be doing the lifting now, would they?
Of course we can change our mind. I do not understand your point. Our experience is termed by ourselves. Our experience is given meaning through textual proclamations, in real time, now. You cannot exceed your own boundaries if you insist they be there. We are justified by our words, and we live by our convictions among other things. Accusation is not nothing but, but a symbol for some embodied condition as we speak or vibrate in harmony with that condition if we had accepted it as true. The thought, the experience, comes before the articulation of it. The cat, (experience of criminality,) was already out of the creation bag, in terms of the speakers personal state of being before the accusation was actually spoken aloud. Since we value life, your life's value to you takes a hit the moment you regard it in less than flattering terms. Thought word deed. This atheist's prayer is that we give meaning as opposed to living in superstition. Anxiety is caused by the misapprehension of what is so. If we forgive the world our judgments against it then it appears to us anew, without the blemish of our own critical state. The world speaks to us in remarkable ways when we are not insisting on what it must say.
Too late to change it when dead. Anxiety isn't always caused by misapprehension. To judge not lest you be judged is a threat to sound judgement. The cripchins want your parentance so that all may be foregibbon. Straighten out your uneven heating, attain the dead calm of a lifetime. The flattering unto the flatline. Submit to the wheel of gog. Gracia non grata. But... love was gratis before gratitude was ever realized.
This. Talk about twisting dodging arguments over the smell of yellow or the colour of love..... It's as if there are two octupus fighting. No-one can engage because of the slipperiness of the opponent, and so there is much flailing of the limbs followed by the discharging of huge quantities of ink, with the combatants hoping to escape in the ensuing confusion.
Moot point then right. I said is caused and I have modified my statement from caused only by due to your input. Regardless, Could you give an example when anxiety is not cause by misapprehension. If you say so. I can say it another way, do not judge by appearances but rather use right judgement. What does gratitude have to do with payment? And When did you adopt that something came first?
thedope: I'd rather not. Since you'll probably insist, shark attack. What does right judgement appear to be to you? Nothing, nothing owed. A return to love. We were alive before we knew it thedope. It's cute how you think the thought comes first though. :-D
Because you expect to survive or because you're afraid you might die? Full of light, clarity, ease of being. In the case of you and me, we were adored before we were conceived.
LOL Do you see why I didn't want to give you an example? It all depends doesn't it. Maybe because the shark is a great white, it has breakfasted on your legs, you're bleeding out several hundred metres off shore with no helicopter in sight, and who's to say it won't have an early lunch? I don't know. Ask yourself. Maybe, just maybe, the pertinence of your question is an impertinence in the blur of life near death. Judgement based on appearance in any case. To those who hesitate, I'd say if you feel judgement to be a punishment, see if it can't be suspended! lol :-D How, when in conception we were nonetheless conceived?
The impertinence is the anxiety experienced everyday by many who are not in fact stressed by existential threats. This is what I am addressing. No, those things follow recognition. By recognition I mean the compatibility of molecules. [/QUOTE] :-D How, when in conception we were nonetheless conceived?[/QUOTE] The instinct for biological procreation.
Like the pride that you think is "an insidious form of self-loathing"? Why not redress those seven deadlies of yore, and leave be the all too metaphysical horror of your anxiety whilst doing so. Judgement doesn't mean a judge or judges?! Is adoration?! Some prayerful types say the source is too slippery, but I am perhaps too blunt to experience such an indelicacy. May as well chow down.
Why not go on vacation is my point. There is nothing out there trying to penalize your soul or whatever. However you will perceive what you believe to be there whether it is in fact there or not. Perception is the interpretation of sensory information. It can. It can also mean the mental act of making or understanding a positive or negative proposition about something. The confusion comes in using the word judgment because making and understanding are not the same. Making judgments produces only verdicts that we feel must be and are enforced. Understanding what is helpful, avails us of help. Physical analogue, the instinct for self preservation/extension is heartfelt. This is why I say love is what we are.
