I added eight new pics to the Places gallery. These were taken this past week during my commute home and show some of the fall colors here in rural Western North Carolina.
Action and Reaction
The world is composed of actions and reactions. Every action is paired with a reaction of some sort. In a physics sense, these are equal, the action force is met with equal reaction force. On a perceptual level, one event can have widespread reaction. For example, if you drop a pebble into the center of a still lake, the ripples extend far beyond the point where the pebble fell. Scientifically, we know the force creating the ripples is the same as the force of the falling rock. Visually, we see the ripples as being much more far reaching than the impact area.
A Closer Look at Humility and the Third Treasure
Yesterday I had a brief confrontation via tweets . I’ll repost the exchange here first, then expound on my views.
The More You Know
Most life is intrinsically curious to some degree, from kittens to kids. Curiosity is an emotion that pushes us to explore our environment and learn new things. As with all emotions however, there is a need for balance.
Making a discovery, be it universal or personal, is emotionally and physically satisfying for most of us. We have love addicts, sex addicts, thrill junkies – all of them because of the pleasure gained from a certain emotional satisfaction.
Tenses of Being
Knowledge represents the past.
Anything you can know has already happened. What you know is based on perceptions of the past: taught to you by others or memories from your own experiences.
Imagination represents the future.
We imagine things that could be: maybe things we want to be, maybe things that will be. They are possibilities. The future is a cloud of possibilities.
Awareness is now.
Now is neither knowledge nor imagination. Awareness is the bridge between what has been and what will be.
