One exists, and comes to know oneself in relationship to the world and to others. I am big in relation to a mouse, and small in relation to a mountain. Thus I come to know my size.

So when you read in the paper of the latest 'monster', doing unspeakable things, perhaps you can remember the baby that was, the intelligence that did not receive any recognition, and so cannot see that what is monsterous is the lost fragment of humanity turning upon itself in its blindness. It is you and me, failing again to see our humanity.


forming a picture:
In this present now, you it before your pc in a room. There are many objects within this room. There are probably many individuals within this room.
EACH one of you — each individual present within this room — is creating every object within this room, and creating the room, and creating the building, and creating the street upon which the building sits, and creating all of the action that is occurring presently in this now. EACH of you is creating your OWN reality.

You are not all creating your IDEA of a reality that already exists. You are each simultaneously creating the actual reality. Therefore, the viewing of any object or any individual within this present room shall be different as perceived by each individual, for each individual is creating all of the other individuals.

And you may be expressing to yourselves, “How may this be? I am not creating all of these other individuals that sit within this room.” But you are!
They also are creating all of the individuals sitting within this room. This room or world presently is quite crowded with many, many, many, many, many individuals!

You are all creating your individual groups of individuals beside the individuals that are creating themselves, and you are each creating yourselves also.(look at for ex. the racist or philosofy -groups)
Therefore, you (looking at one person) are creating yourself presently, and you are creating another physical, solid matter, moving, breathing projection of every other individual within this room, and so are they all.

Each of you allows yourself to be subjectively interactive with the others that are participating in this physical manifestation we call life, and therefore, you allow yourselves a type of blueprint, so to speak, of the manifestation of each focus of each other essence presence, and from that blueprint, you create your own design of each individual present within this room, and as you interact with each other, each of you interacts with the individual that you yourself have created through your perception.
So clearly there is nothing weird about it.... you observed the monster so logically you created him.

Bollocks! Get thee to a subjective/objective thread. the reality of reality is not in question here.

grin but the approach to your problem starts there, not to question your reality is as hiding behind reality to escape responsibility.. you turned it in to a belief-system. The religion of reality.
You can accept it and drift in it as any theist would do, or question it full out and live with it.

No, really, please. I do not want to derail the thread; I want to talk about recognition. The nature of reality does not matter to this question. When you see a whomever, however you conceptualise that, there is a recognition - this is a computer, that is a chair, there is the wall and the light switch, and there, right over there is one like me. I don't care at this point who is the creator of all this, but I want to say, in contradiction to the tradition of introspection, cartesian or otherwise, that I discover myself out there as a discoverer, by being discovered. The inwardness I feel as an agent in the world is first seen in me by agents in the world, and there is no way to see it on my own. So all your theory of how I create the outer comes later; first I need a sense of self, and that is what interests me right now. So it is rather important to respond to what is being said, rather than rushing off into a theory of reality which presupposes the theoretician.

Look, you are one of those things like me, that can talk bollocks. This is an important thing to notice. Whether the world is made of bollocks or not, we can discuss later. I have discovered you as 'like me' discovering me 'like you'. Start there, and see what happens.

It is in the way one appreciates his actions, he becomes unique. Where does difference lead us?


As our reaction to appreciation, he will either proceed with an encore or look to improve his play. My point has been that his 'appreciation' has been temporary - and it will not really be realised until he acts. He cannot be 'appreciated' all the time - however, should he act to further his own goal (suppose, he might better his co-ordination), he might react and realise his reactions.

Your mindset cannot be permanent, it's impossible. Your actions are, as they are tangible.

To an action. That is the reaction to the action that makes him think he is different from you. Until he reacts, his state of mind is worthless.

Minyun wrote:

This is true of reality at present but is it right? Imagine what a 1000 years of distinguising peoples actions cause... some people are human and some people are animals, but the truth behind it all is that we are all people. It is no wonder why every generation is plagued by conflict.


How do you suggest you 'study' a mindset of a person who has existed about 1000 years ago? How can you understand a 'mind' without actions? Is it worth understanding at all?

Minyun wrote:

If we really want to bring it all back home then this is the line of thinking that needs changing.


Nope, instead I suggest that we maintain ourselves, realise the magnitude of possibilities our actions might bring and act with consideration. Simple suggestion, if complied with - brings immediate tangible results.

Technically the sense of Self is build up of different spacial displacements, without such process you have no time no dimensions, no observation, no recognition.
To recognize something new your brain will need to form a new specific spacial displacement or build upon already existing ones for that specific item.
It is porbably not what you want to hear or read, but it is a fact.
the questions: why a spacial displacement is linked to your environment is answered by there is no dimensional self outside our dimensional environment.
Why do philosophers always make it so hard especially when this part of philosophy already turned into science and even moved past this point. Or are you looking for something else.

But either way you are not on topic, and not understanding. Take your brain talk away; I do not have a brain.

I am not talking about appreciation, I am talking about the manner in which it was appreciated and what it leads to, you know, like talking to someone as if they are incapable of cognition. Why clap differently for a deaf person? When both ways to clap can be comprehended by the deaf person, there really is no difference, why even make the difference in the first place? The reason for this, is because it allows us to distinguish between the deaf and the non-deaf, perhaps this makes us feel superior in some way, maybe we think this creates a standard for the deaf to aspire to (as you are trying to prove), which as I am explaining, is wrong. I will provide another example to drive away from this appreciation which we are stuck on, why treat a homeless person as if he were somehow different from you? As if he were incapable of understanding you, because you judge his actions different from your own, which is silly because you are capable of exactly the same actions as he is, as you have said 'Your mindset cannot be permanent'. Your mind is an uncertain certainty, as is his, treat it as such.

Desidude666 wrote:

And, where does his action begin? If I might say, his action begins from your reaction to him being deaf. To him being 'perceptively different'.

Desidude666 wrote:

Hmmm? Why would I want to study a particular person? I can study the past and see where the actions of people throughout history have lead us too. You can understand a mind without action, by understanding yourself. Yes, it is certainly worth understanding if it brings peace and union.

Desidude666 wrote:

Key word: Consideration. Consider that this person is exactly the same as you.
1 : continuous and careful thought <after long consideration he agreed to their requests>
2 a : a matter weighed or taken into account when formulating an opinion or plan <economic considerations forced her to leave college> b : a taking into account
3 : thoughtful and sympathetic regard
4 : an opinion obtained by reflection

Practice empathy, and consider the homeless or deafs perspective. It is a crude example, but, in the school of fish, is there one to lead and is there one to follow? I am sure that they all understand this.

Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. - Albert Camus
