I am stealing this from Kate because I have genearlly the same goals. Wow...
-To always forgive and to ask for forgiveness from others.
-To feel love towards everyone, even those who [are] my enemies. And no, my readers, I don’t mean kinky, lets have hot sex love. I mean the sort of love that helps you respect a person for their spirit and realization that one day all our spirits will be at the same level, perfectly evolved.
-To pay more attention to intuition, especially when I feel that I am being forced into things against my will.
added:
-To become a transendentalist (full appriciation of nature) and master Zen (the art of getting through life by asking questions and finding out the answers for yourself by having others answer you with another question, helping you further you knowledge and your quest.)
Krying Jeztir [6:55 PM]: the earth is going to be destroyed in one thousand years, the magnetic feild is rapidly desintigrating and the atmosphere will have nothing left to keep it on earth. So it will have no ecosystem, earth will just be a big rock
** Or the moon will drift so far away (because it is drifting away from the earth), that the world will lose it's gravitational field, flip upside down, and Egypt will be snowy and the Antarctic will be hot desert. Then the plant life and animals will die off because they had no time to adapt to that rapid change and will not evolve. Then humans will die as well, and the earth will be this little upside down planet with a few leftovers that will reproduce and create a new world, free from the corruption of humankind.
Krying Jeztir [7:09 PM]: Nobody is really an expert, how can you know anything for certain if all knowledge is gained through trial and error and all people are different
**That is true, but everything is known because of trial and error, however, after sometime the trail and error stops and we finally find the truth. We could be incorrect of course, but it's not likely after a certain point.
NYY5 [7:09 PM]: Thing is though, knowledge isn't everything.
** I think knowledge is everything- that and experience.
Krying Jeztir [7:23 PM]: One answer leads to another question...or questions
** That is what Zen is based on. A life full of nothing but questions. One question leads to another. When you ask a question, you are answered with a question, but that question is supposed to help you figure out the answer to your question, or to be able to ask a better question. :)
Krying Jeztir [7:25 PM]: Intuition is good but not always accurate
Krying Jeztir [7:26 PM]: Unless our knowledge is inaccurate and masking the accuracy of intuition?
**I believe intuition is always right- but our minds have been taught not to listen to it, because it isn't a scientific thing, it's just a "gut feeling", and we believe things like that must be inaccurate, so it is our "more rational mind" telling us to ignore the intuition, even if it's right.
Krying Jeztir [7:27 PM]: I am listening to the news and wondering why do they care so much about territory and war? why do we bother with such petty things when our earth is dying and why is there vison so clouded they cant see anything but what is happening now?
NYY5 [7:29 PM]: The killing. The killing is wrong. It causes so much confusion and bad feelings.
Krying Jeztir [7:31 PM]: It is stupid hurtful and a waste of time
NYY5 [7:32 PM]: Yes. As corny as this may sound, love is really the only way out of it. Love leads to forgiveness which prevents dwelling in the past and future.
NYY5 [7:32 PM]: None should dwell in the past and future.
NYY5 [7:32 PM]: They must keep their mind in the present.
NYY5 [7:32 PM]: They must forgive and not fight with people, violence is the ultimate corruption.
Krying Jeztir [7:33 PM]: I like knowing about the future but people are to involved in profit instead of love or understanding
**I agree with all of that. We should live like the !Kung Bushman. They know what they're doing... I have a lot more to say on war and killing and territory, unfortuanately I haven't got any time left for that. :)
