Analogy for Everything

Mescalito · 08-21-2006, 05:00 AM

What would be your best analogy to describe not just life.. but everything.. every state of existance? I know alot of other people share the belief about wholeness and duality.. so what do you make of this analogy for it? I think its very apt that its light... 'And then there was light'.. The Sun God.. etc. Ive been pondering this one for a while.. finally got a bit of a diagram going. Ive posted this before.. but ive updated it somewhat. Thoughts and opinions welcome!

Here is my take on how a thought comes to life:

4 Criterias:

1, tangible object, (anything that is not seen, felt, tasted, hear, or smelled can ever be be percived by our limited body)
2, senses to percive w/e tangible there is
3, brain that works, clearly for a correct thought to arise there must be a working brain
4, past knowledge of w/e it is you are judging on, for the thought to be correct.

You are missing 1 or more of these criterias, therefore, it's is void and null. It's not correct..

The Don is speaking too literally.

I for one love the analogy and metaphor and feel that all knowledge can be obtained by the Prism/Rainbow paradox. Agreed entirely, Matchu!

i dont think we are capable of describing anything outside of our physical lives

if i cant even describe thigns ive seen on drugs theres no hope for the rest of reality lol

Christoffer · 08-21-2006, 09:33 AM

I'm just saying, if you haven't seen it, you can't talk about it with certainty..

Thus making the discussion void..

donniedope · 08-21-2006, 09:38 AM

this whole thread is void becuase you cant prove it exists beyon a doubt or that you exist. reality is only a set of criteria that is generally accepted by the majority of poeple. they could all b wrong u kno. i dont fucking kno tho.

Christoffer · 08-21-2006, 09:42 AM

Good lord..

Mescalito · 08-21-2006, 01:50 PM

Well, as DD stated, you can't about ANYTHING with certainty since everything at its finest point is subjective......so why do we have discussion forums? In fact, why did you even post this?

^lmao

ziplock · 08-21-2006, 04:48 PM

Hahaha what a thread. Nice analogy Matchu, I like the diagram.

**Canuck Wisdom** · 08-21-2006, 05:13 PM

That is a beautifully simple analogy. Its an effective visual for dualism.

vanilla · 08-21-2006, 06:25 PM

Christoffer · 08-22-2006, 02:22 AM
