Movement is created from movement. Be still and focus and there will be no movement.

Change between the point of focus and see how quickly stillness comes.

The direction of our awareness really means everything.. in my thoughts at least.

This could by why things breath when having a psychadelic experiance, too. It was amazing within seconds of looking at a dot how things stopped moving!

Thanks Brother. Cool exercise.

The practical applications are endless IMHO.. Direction of awareness to me is everything. I have often thought that maybe destiny is the automatic or subconscious thought.. it flows that way as a result of everything before.. and then there is directed thought.. or free-will.. which is the opposite. Although.. there is the line of thought that even consciously directed awareness would stem from everything that came before.

Also I would like to add that lack of focus can be a big problem.. with TV and all that.. the general attention span of the super monkey isn't that super. The mind quickly flows on and leaves other thoughts behind. Not that this is entirely bad.. but good focus has it's place.

i thought about this alot the other nite. i considered making my own thread but ill just contribute and see how it goes.

basically, i realized that "focusing" is actually just concentrating energy, bringing it together, therefore nullifying it and becoming "concious." think of it. all matter can be broken down into energy. everything is just energy, just light, its all the same, including our very thoughts. the less visible or sensible the energy is, the thinner it is, which is essentially better. feelings like love are more important to you than the car you own, right?

so what i think is that humans, by becoming "conscious," were somehow able to bring that thin energy of thought together and void it, make it disappear out of this existence, almost like a black hole thats inside our heads. the black hole is our mind. think about it: if energy is aware of its energy, it cancels it out, does it not? poof, gone. this is the key in what makes us special, this ability. nothing else has this ability. we are tapping into the very essence of god, making us all 'gods' in a sense.

so where does this energy go? i think that it simply crosses over to "the other side", to god, or something of that sort. i think that, in the end, all that matters in this universe is the energy we carry over to the other side. nothing "solid" or existential or valuable is of any importance. its temporary. but what we carry over will always be there. so i think that all we can do as humans is focus. focus on anything. do anything. just do something, for the sake of focusing, this godly gift that is all you really are. and keep doing it. its fun. its why youre here.

I believe focus is just the act of setting the scope for your perception. Similar to how in a 3-D video game it is choppiest while your character is moving but when stationary and in focus there is far more visual stability.

The direction of something only matters based on your sight to say I guess. Some people can be pointed in the right spot for their entire lives and still make negative progress towards their direction. Cool ass picture though. The idea of direction of the soul/thought I think is silly because energy cannot be bounded by any 3-Dimensional structure, so the direction is only a fraction of it's total being/motion.

To a sense I agree with your statement about how "it flows that way as a result of everything before" because the way the mind works is based on metaphors to say. Everything you know/understand is based on a comparison of millions of other things you've experianced previously. Which means everything we create/produce(including ideas and such) are actually limited by our existence. We are surrounded by nuclear bombs, but somehow we degrade raw energy from inside the chaos and then w can pet our dogs, and pluck pedals off a flower and whatever else we do daily. It really is an interesting place we are conscience at.

Energy doesn't store information. Energy is information, so when we die we are just as pure as when we are alive.

That picture started to melt and be projected on my wall sooo for me that is always a good time to stop looking at crazy shit..

Very damn strange,

but when i focused the fan on my pc slowed itself down. wtf

Mescalito

There is an old axiom that states energy follows awareness. But basically energy is awareness... well energy is everything. Meh that was a mute point.. anyway.. nice thoughts y'all.

So in essence the more energy you have the harder it is to focus, because that is more energy to concentrate or bring together. Correct ?

_tyranT

its like the fucking furance kicking itself on every five minutes.

its my energy thats making it kick it self on.

greengreengreen

yes, but its only how solid you make the energy. like for instance, if you have a bunch of things on your mind, therye materializing, the energy is 'thick' in a sense, you cant thin it and focus it out. but if you have a clear head you can focus more easily on certain energy. also, if you have focused on this energy before, it 'builds up' on this 'other side' (which is essentially your memory and everything you have ever focused on at all) and it becomes easier to do. you have less on your mind and you are able to simply see and feel it out, no problem. its only when you stress on it or try to hard that you fuck up.

greengreengreen

the awareness is the magnet that pulls the energy together. your mind is the lens that focuses the awareness, the portal for the energy to pass through.
THINK ABOUT IT. is there anything else in the known universe that can theoretically eliminate energy like this? we are always taught that all energy in the universe cannot be created or destroyed, simply displaced, but the consciousness is the one exception. we do not necessarily destroy the energy, for memories are always there, but where are they? you cannot tell me that memory exists in this universe. it is drawing forth from somewhere else.

Mescalito

All of the known energy in the universe exists in every part of the universe. (I need to find a source for this.. can anyone get an exact figure?)

M

AeDeAeMn0886

How about all of the uknown energy ?

Mescalito

I didn't mean to say known at all.. and I don't know why I did. Not focused I guess.

Damn I was hoping this thread would have an amazing trick to help me focus on my paper...
