Yeah, I agree. I think conceptual knowing (mind) is different than what is "behind" it, and what is behind it has a sort of cohesive loving and bright quality. Still, I'm not sure it cares in any personal sort of way because in the end (beginning) there is nothing personal, imnsho. The sun shines equally on all that is under it, in a manner of speaking.</p>cc commented on 'Scattered thoughts about mindfulness'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201b7c6cf24dc970b2014-08-19T23:53:08Z2014-08-20T01:59:02ZccWe don't know shit as Brian said.

<p>But, perhaps this conceptual knowing is of the mind and different to the experience of where we go into a kind of zone and feel something different, like Brian's "spacing out" (preferably if we can do it without the use of caffeine and Margarita lol) then it is more like ESP "the faculty of perceiving things by means other than the known senses". <br />

What have we been hoping for here? The answer to all eternal questions wrapped up in a nice neat bundle?</p>
<p>Isn't it remarkable that as imagined subjects we imagine ourselves to be objects while, as such pretend objects, we pose as our own subjects!</p>
<p>We don't know shit as Brian said.</p>
<p>What we are could not possibly be limited or defined by a grouping of words or ideas. In transcendence of such wordy concepts we are inconceivable because conceptuality cannot conceive its source. We can only be this source and as we are being it (without conceptualizing) we can't know it. As this inconceivable source there are no questions, no answers, no problems, no ignorance or liberation either. It all amounts to nothing. It doesn't matter, and it doesn't care.</p>Blogger Brian commented on 'Scattered thoughts about mindfulness'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201a511f8a711970c2014-08-18T16:38:43Z2014-08-18T16:38:45ZBlogger Brianhttp://profile.typepad.com/brihinescc, absolutely!

<p>Zero! Nothing. Nada. Zilch.</p>
<p>My genius "business plan" has been to pay TypePad $100 plus a year and then get nothing back in return monetarily.
