I saw that word used here the other day. I had forgotten its meaning, and had to look it up. lol
I like it. The study of Reality, or whatnot.
But I'm confused. What is Reality? Is it the body, and all this crap laying around, or it nothingness?
It can't be nothing, it has to be something. Right? lol

I figure metaphysics is a form of philosophy. Unfortunately, both beasties appear to me as wild speculation about things that mostly exist as concepts. Hey, isn't there a school that treats the 'name' as the thing? That one seems to me to be a sort of Mõbius strip, with Philosophy written on one side and Reality (note the cap) on the other - except there is no 'other'.

Essentially I work from home, and business is mostly slow. Ergo I have oodles of free time on my hands. I used to spend a lot of that time reading spiritual stuff. Now it's like "I'm done with that". I've started doing online sweepstakes, so far I've won $500 and a Weber smoker. lol Reality bitches. LOL Done with Fish www.youtube.com/watch?v=y410SQD2mz8hehe |

Yeah, that video is awesome. The movie it's from "Adaptation" ... meh.
Funny thing about "quitting", you never can really "go back" to how things were. I don't miss ... the drama, the bullshit .. but you lose something else, something which is indescribable. I think my wife, and others, miss that something about me.

This is the clearest definition of how ignorant one is that believes it knows the truth of all things unseen!
Metaphysics is:
"branch of speculation which deals with the first causes of things," notice the word speculation, it does not say truth.
The only reality is the current dream we each have going on inside our finite minds at any present moment of our present existence! No two dreams are the same!
I presently am in a dream where I'm a human being living on a place called earth typing the word......sorry I wandered off into the dream of needing something to eat a second ago but now I'm back in this dream of typing again.
When will I wake up and fly away as the beautiful butterfly I know I am?

I agree totaly with this last part, that part that the wife and others know is not there anymore. Osho said that one must learn to play the game again. Its ok to act like the idiot you used to be once in awhile, in fact its even more fun when you are aware that your doing it, then you can be real real good at it and not take it too seriously because its just...acting. hehe |
