chez shinae: on the fuckonomics of causes

Yet to presume that such miniscule personal give-a-fucks, well expressed, do not matter in the grand scheme of things is to presume that our humanity itself does not matter either. Me thinks they do matter just because they build on each other ... mine on yours, yours on his, his on hers, etc, etc, etc ...

Yes definitely ... there is never enough said about positive resonance ... What's in *your* network?

Well, i guess since this was introduced as ...
"Sometime around now —it may have happened five years ago or 50 years ago —but sometime
around now, the rules for living successfully on earth shifted, and an opportunity, unseen before, began to reveal itself.
This opportunity is a context —a particular space or paradigm, a way of being —which unexpectedly creates the possibility for a person’s life to truly make a difference.
In this context, the way each of us answers the question, ‘What is my life really going to be about?’ can literally alter the course of humanity.
The possibility to create the context in which people’s lives really matter is undoubtedly the most profound opportunity available to anyone, ever.”

although i hasten to add that i think W.E.'s solution to this peculiar problem is not necessarilay my peculiar solution ... and me thinks it would be mine that i seek. This presumption that the self-improvement industry has that their solutions generalize over all humans is, me thinks, fundamentally flawed.

ok,


Well of course i like the take away message from Erhard's talk which i take to be: the recognition that there are assumptions on which our basics beliefs about living are founded and that those form a box in which we must live ... and then finally his recommendation that you and i are going to have to develop a faculty to create our own special paridigm or our own special box. That is the same thing i called, "my peculiar solution" in that same context.
However i have already rejected one of Erhard's assumptions that he emphasized so emphatically for almost an hour ... that our lives do not make a difference. For look at it ... differences have been made ... the lives that we live today are nothing like the lives that were lived in the 1700's or any other century or generation of our history. So, what i have found, is that, yes indeed, life goes on it's petty pace from day to day OF making differences.
... so kewl


kewl


"inside the outside"


Yep still in the box of RWG ...

Q.E.D

an appreciation for otherness is one of the reasons, me thinks, that allows me to hear others telling me that i am wrong ... and appreciating that to their peculiar world i am wrong ... and that is ok ... there not necessarily being any reason for me to attempt to convince them that i am right in my being and their viewpoint is in error ... for, really, that is not for me to say.
so, bro, if you continue to obsess about this RWG shit, i can well continue to ignore your obsession ... who knows, maybe the gestalt you get from continually doing that is like pure Zen honey ... that i am surly missing out on

Tsk ...tsk ..

anyway i did discover that edge in Erhard's tirade against making a difference: differences were made. Me thinks that is a serious flaw in his presentation ... in his thought process in getting to "you don't count, you don't make a difference". Can you show me what i am missing there? ... no RWG involved. Do you know what i mean ... can you think that thought and see its truth too?



he dealt with a hard problem for most of us: the perception that our own lives and efforts seem to make such minuscule difference in the petty pace of life from day to day. he showed that kind of thinking itself is fundamentally flawed within the boxes we usually think. i agree with that and see it myself. Perhaps you didn't notice that i was thinking outside of the usual box when i said, well we can see that differences have been been made by examining history itself ... the implication being that from that perspective some of our lives did make a difference. that might be a hard one to get without first appreciating (counting) otherness ... you know, all that which is not you. to me that is a clarion call to express myself in this life ... to add my peculiar voice to help make up the becoming of this grand human being.
i rather think that others will go through some other thought process in that regard ... what was yours?
The tricky part here for me is to reconcile that train of thought with the external science perspective, which taken alone i view as bankrupt leading to a kind of slavery and a discounting of my inner thrust that i covet. That's why i am reading your Erhard along with Sinner et all. I'm looking here for thoughts that actually work yet are not dependent on just some self serving emotional surge. I sersously doubt that my percular solutions to those edges would mean anything to you at all. No problem, just the way this ball bounces.
W.E. & his successors teach that to create out of nothing requires not only dealing with what is truly new & outside the box but not describing it as a remedy for what is wrong or something you don't like. Positivity! All of that is outside of materialistic science which can't explain why & how any shit exists at all anytime, anywhere or ever. In the early days before I had given much thought to it I gave a stand up talk about Common Logic in one of the successor seminars & got chastized for continually presenting Common Logic as an alternative instead of a fundamental positive presentation of what I wanted to do with it. Later on this emerged but never really caught on & Egos prevailed.


whenever it even happens for a brief moment, I always get a little tweak knowing that we are going in the right direction. Strangely enough many of the things i stick out there in the world have the potential to contribute to some synergy ... then all too often what is missing is not in my domain to effect


Fuckonomics ? eh?
