Punishment and Reward

oof....
I'm sailing off into dreams of subspace, rewards, punishment and learning fully (and correctly) all that I ache for, in becoming free, indeed.

These lines.... oh these lines.
Beautiful work, RT....just beautiful.
"The end
Of resistance
Begins all favors.

Give yourself,
And let happen
What will happen,

And I will
Bind you
With the freedom

Of being mine
In the hollow
Of my soul."

Thank you for your responsiveness....sometimes we have simply say it into existence....

I can only say my side.....

wonders what the hollow of your soul is like

Listening, mutual, protective, reciprocal,  and intimate. ..

sounds like the place to be mister

I think we all have our resonances....those colors, sounds, environments, characteristics that remind us of our inner comforts, our home in mind.

Milton talked about that original sense of home as Paradise Lost. Some people say we can never go home again.

I think, rather, that we are born into an original ideal sense of who we are within ourselves.

We resonate with our environment through emotional security, IMHO.

In this we, we gravitate,  levitate, mature into ourselves, sooner or later by learning to disregard the irrelevant.  We find ourselves by a sort of symbolic echo location.

Milton called this Paradise Regained, but I think of it as cleaning house emotionally. Detached awareness. Becoming ourselves. Truly, a palace to be.

that's a thoughtful response sir - I sometimes feel my own responses rather facile - smiles sheepishly

The sum total of all human vectors will forever more be bounded by its viewer.

The sum total of all vectors may be a reality that dwarfs all human vectors.

Gurdjeiff said that we are unable to measure all the factors that make up the mass of the atom, and this is why atomic weight does not follow an arithmetic progression, for example its utilitarian value in the universe.

Facile is the best any of us can do. Quantum mechanics is showing us that the mere measuring of something changes its structure in relationship to us. Heisenberg has put us forever at arm's length away from that absolute direct truth we seek.

Maybe a general field theory will take reverse engineering the quantum equations to tell us how Newton got it wrong.

We're all in that same human boat. For me, the best I can do is to try not to judge and so use only my own peace of mind to balance out life's equations.

We dominate our minds by submitting to our hearts perhaps.

this may well be true - I like reading your words regardless

Thank you....likewise...
