i think it is important for me, and for any human being, to grasp what art has said here:

i would remind you of the saying, "this density is not for understanding." you'll drive yourself crazy trying to understand it all (and it seems you have been). i wouldn't dare try to give the answer to that question, as it is paradoxical in nature.

art

and i think i have solid proof that this statement is correct. what this statement is implying is that human life was created to have limitations. we were meant to have an individual point of view. human life was created for the precise purpose of creating limitation. so this is my proof:

1) tell a person to count from now until infinity and he would continue counting until he parishes. this alone is enough to say that there simply is a limit to how much a human can expand his consciousness. but then people turn around and say that there are no limits to what a human can achieve. it is simply our ego that obstructs us. like the statement: "not knowing it was impossible one went and did it". so which one is it? maddening!

2) one of the many places that i have worked had a bathroom that was surrounded in mirrors. so i could see the reflection that rebounded into what should be infinity. except that eventually the image became gray and descended into obscurity. i counted about 30 layers and then it became too fuzzy to see any clear image. so this again shows that a human does not have the faculties to grasp infinity. and shows that we were never intended to.

so what does a wise man make of these intellectual headaches? to just be. like the buddha, once you realize that there is no sense in trying to reach the end, you simply let it all flow through you. you start to see that things are not linear at all, but circular. so trying to reach the end of a circle would be the definition of insanity. so just relax, be in the moment, and let the circle of life go through you. this is the wisdom of it all i think. and it has taken much mental anguish to arrive at this.

so i intended this to be about people listing all the many ridiculous paradoxes that exist in the duality that we call human life. which has people chasing their tails in circles. and i thought this would bring a smile to our faces.

love to all,
