It's what you do that counts.
Your actions.


that preferential for you ?

There are simply too many armchair warriors and critics around. Which is really a problem created by the democratic ethos that any fool, no matter how idiotic, can have equal say to the intellectually and physically superior.

____________

this is an illusionary representation of the 3rd dimensional reality

[which is in fact illusionary in itself ]

further

we are all equal there are no superiors as it were

this is a reflection upon your understandings and your false

projection and assupmtions of your place in this dimension

with forgiveness and no judgenment upon you beloved

In this world, the physically superior can impose his will upon the intellectually superior.

In this world, the majority can impose their will upon the minority.

'Democracy' works in the same fashion.

i.e.
The will of the majority holds sway, over, and often suppressing, differing points of view.



Does this mean that the majority, or, the strongest, are always the 'right-est' [i.e. the most 'correct'] ???


e.g.
If 1,000,000 people insisted that the earth is flat, but some 'dissenter' says....



...are the, must the, 1,000,000 people be correct ???

Why so ???

Is it because it is obvious to any fool, that the 'collective' views and opinions of the 1,000,000 people are clearly, intellectually superior, to the views and opinions of one or two, or, half a dozen, dissenters ???

I did put intellectually and physically together for a reason. That they are embodied in the one person.

Ah, yes, but it isn't the majority who assert their will over the rest of us, it's a very small handful of influencers who hardly anyone knows about.

Population growth and immigration, for example, are pushed by property developers, retailers and people like Heather Riddout from the Business Council.

News Limited, through the Telegraph and Australian actively mobilizes protest against the carbon tax - and most Labor policies, really.

And need we mention the influence of Haliburton on US foreign policy?

Popular opinion does not just happen. A majority needs to be actively massaged, brought together and shaped. It constantly forms, fractures and regroups. Different groups emerge, rise and fall, and it has been this way - before mass communication even came into being.

It's just easier now - but tough too, as people constantly change their values and beliefs about the massagers. If we talked about majority opinion in the Arab world 3 years ago, for example, we'd be talking about something completely different to today.

Same in the US - majority opinion changed radically from 2003 to 2008, despite Fox News and the Pravda-style US majority massage machine.

There is a constant Doris Day/Rock Hudson seduction going on between us and the influencers, and, out of this, a majority emerges.

this can be called true  - given presence in the now.
action does speak louder than words

( we presume you postulate two types of people - the thinkers and the do-ers.)

so intellectual superiority ( so-called)   can be , but not necessarily always is, a survival trait.
If the intellect paralyses the body when faced with a charging rampant ..(name your monster) ???.. what good is it?

If the intellect leads to avoidance of conflict  .. that is good.  Non-action.

---

But words don't automatically indicate intellect.  Thats pretty obvious from multitudinous posts. on this Board.

So- thats sort of the opposite of 'the pen is mightier than the sword'.
I'd suggest -  accept no absolutes.

"In this world, the majority can impose their will upon the minority."   Yepp    .
thats known as MOB RULE.

the 'collective' views and opinions of the 1,000,000 people are clearly, intellectually superior, to the views and opinions of one or two, or, half a dozen, dissenters ??? 

Don't be silly!! Of course not!!  Tht's just rule by Mob -  (undeniably arising from the power of populist propaganda.)

Ask someone what ETHICS are -  do they know the word???

I like to believe that it's what you do that counts, rather than what you think.

"I think , therefore I am" , is also a very profound statement, and paradoxical to the above.

There's no getting away  from the fact that personal thoughts can/do influence actions to a certain extent.


Having just watched the movie "Inception" for the first time, it opens up a different realm of thinking for me. (ie: it implants an idea)

A marriage between the dream-world and the real world may often be a necessity.

Telling one what to dream is a non-dream. It is residing in the limbo-state..and this, the storyteller accentuates IMO.

It's not for another to dictate the dream; the dream will behold together with, and also irrespective of outside influences.
It's all about the dream. The movie is all about the dream.
It's the dream that matters.i

True masters never tell you what they know.

oh really?

i see you beloved master karnal repeating outdated

dogma

this inane concept helps humanity little/naught

why would a master say nothing and help no one?

ask the one selling the snakes oil

this does not effect LIGHT as it does manifest in no secrecy no.,

it is the vessel which does carry LOVE yes

and this is hidden not by a true master

and so it is

you may rewrite your belief system to that which resonates

within you now

does this comfort you beloved one?
