Whereas thermodynamics deals with the conservation of energy, the transformation of clouds (water vapour) to liquid water is a demonstration of the principle of the conservation of matter.
i’ve seen clouds from both sides now! gotsta love how it all works like that. when i was younger my mother used to joke with us and say, “that, right there? that nice, cool, clean water you’re drinking right now? king tut peed it out over 3,000 years ago.” =)
yeah i get the pee clouds thing- the concept-and youre swimming in water-just let all of us blogbuddies decide clearly how those speedos look-in and out of water.let us decide.please.
While I like your idea that you are trying to convey, please do not make bold statements about your understanding of who we are. After all, it is merely your understanding. Not everyone is where you are in life, and your life is not their lives.
In other words, you become preachy, just like many men of faith who have a following. Don’t get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and take on life; just as long as it remains just that — an opinion.
Ask yourself, am I becoming that of which I purposely have sought to avoid?
dude, it’s Davey’s blog so obviously it’s his opinion.
You say “Life and Death are not illusions” do you have
documented proof? Obviously that’s your opinion as well.
We all try to make sense of life & death in our own way.
Davey is sharing his views with us, if you don’t agree
then don’t watch his videos…we won’t miss you. bye.
“Life is the illusion – Death is the ultimate truth.”
Score : 1:1
I like David but the interest of Davey’s blog resides also in the fact
that everyone can express his point of view without
being automatically OK with David. I hope that the critics have also a place on his blog and I appreciate some of them.
“Preachy” is not the exact term I would have used but David has brushed past it but I think it is his personal way of telling things.
It’s all very nice and well but sorry. It doesn’t hold water. (no pun intended).
If, as you say, life is just another transformation we go through – why do we all accept the fact that life is good and death is bad.
Think Nazi Germany Jews. Think poor school kids shot by a manianc. Think gay kids killed as part of gay hate crimes. That’s bad, right? That’s wrong. That’s something someone should pay for.
That’s called death. And because it’s sad and bad and wrong, it is very much different from cloud becoming ummmm pond or lake or river.
Now settle that.
Most people accept that death is sad or bad – especially the deaths of young people or people who are killed before their times. Just because most people accept it doesn’t make it the truth. Because of the unknown nature of whatever is beyond death, people attach themselves to life. They never want to let go of life. They fear the unknown and so they fear death. Everything that is alive will die. Nobody has guaranteed us a long life or an easy one. And nobody is supposed to live for any defined length of time. You may be too young to understand it. Honestly I think there are many people who are old and yet do not understand it.
As for the Nazis or the maniacs or the gay bashers we are judging them by calling them evil. They are doing something we don’t like. Something we judge to be wrong. Wrong is an invented concept. Our intellects – as great as they are – have an overdeveloped sense of judgement that is, for all intents and purposes – holding most of us back from really living. We constantly judge and evaluate what is good, bad, right and wrong. We think these things are universal and written somewhere in the cosmos but they are completely subjective and are different for every person. we only feel certain things are wrong or bad because we were brought up to think it or because we’ve developed these thoughts in the things we’ve learned over time. I don’t like what the Nazis did but if they hadn’t done it we would live in a very different world today. I, for one, am quite happy with the world as it is. Had WWII not happened a lot of things would be tremendously different. We’d be way behind where we are technologically. Instead of looking at things in terms of what should or shouldn’t have happened, I look at things only in terms of what has and hasn’t happened. Life is far less stressful and much simpler.
Even in my own life, my mom died when I was 10. I lived for a long time – about 22 years – before I realized I was resisting life because I was thinking she shouldn’t have died. I wasted a LOT of time on thoughts of how unfair things are and how life should have been different. It was a natural response and I’m glad that at 32 years old I learned how useless a response it was. It happened. Whether I liked it or not I can’t change it. It happened and that’s all there really is to it. Shoulds and shouldn’ts don’t matter. They don’t change it. The only thing I could change was my outlook. I couldn’t change the past but I could shape my present and my future.
I believe that my mom lives on. I’m not sure if her consciousness still exists somewhere in some afterlife but I know for certain that her ideas, beliefs, strength, perseverance, love, generosity, brilliance all live on in me. Like the water vapour that condenses into liquid and tumbles from the clouds to the seas my mother’s greatest traits have fallen onto and rooted deeply into me. The lessons we’ve learned from the holocaust have shaped all our senses of morality. Although we may feel pain in losing something or someone we’re really mourning our own insecurities about life and death. We’d be far better served to thank God for every day those people were with us and for all the time we spent and the lessons we learned and the love we shared. Instead of mourning the loss, appreciate the tremendous gain that we’ve all had: despite however long or short the duration, we’ve lived, loved, shared, learned, laughed and experienced. And we will, despite our greatest efforts, move on from here and leave behind something of ourselves when we do.
Don’t worry if you don’t get it. It’s a lot to wrap your head around. Take whatever is useful to you and either discard the rest or file it away for when you’re ready to use it.
What a lot of condescending crap. You say: “Don’t worry if you don’t get it. It’s a lot to wrap your head around. Take whatever is useful to you and either discard the rest or file it away for when you’re ready to use it.” You assume that you are so much more evolved and enlightened than someone who grieves for the loss of another’s premature death or for acts of injustice that create pain and suffering. I do not buy what you are trying to sell.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, should prematurely cause or initiate another person’s death. We are all on a journey while we are in our bodily form. For someone to arbitrarily snuff out another life is wrong. The nazis, gay bashers, serial killers and perpetrators of genocide are NOT just misunderstood individuals that are operating on a more enlightened plane that those that grieve over their actions are. They are NOT instruments for the greater good. They are evil. Their actions are wrong and it is NOT something that you have to “wrap your head around”.
Yes, we all will transform. Yes, our life is temporary in a bodily form. Part of experiencing our lives as living, sensient beings in a body is not to stop feeling compassion, empathy, love, sorrow but rather to be transformed, while still in this flesh into a more aware and encompassing individual.
No matter what the human race learns from a tragic situation or violent and degrading tortures, humiliations, persecutions and murders committed by another individual, or group, it does not make the initial act any more pure. To believe that is to have a very flawed sense of morality and very perverted spirituality.
It is possible to learn spiritual lessons from every situation, good or bad, but that does not make the intent of the original action any right.
We need to grow from every situation that we experience. We need to learn forgiveness, both for our release to transform ourselves positively and to allow the perpetrator a second chance to change too. Compassion is never wrong, sometimes though, it is difficult. There is no guarantee that the person you forgive will change but as long as there is life in the body, there is a chance of a transformation on this plane.
We need to all experience transformation while we are living this life, in these bodies and not wait until a future time. We need to value life for all that it is meant to teach us and not cut anybody else’s life short. We need to realize that once our time in this body is over, yes, we will transform and that should not terrify us, but that does not mean that those left behind will not experience loss.
People put a lot of emphasis on the reasoning behind people not wanting to die is BC they are afraid of the unknown. While that is somewhat true, the reason I dont want to die is BC I want to live first. There is so mush of the world to see, I love traveling, and I want to fall in love and have a family with a bunch of kids. It isnt as much as the unknown (bC even though we dont really know I have faith that I will be taken care of in Heaven) its just that first I want to experience things of this world, which isnt bad
I liked what you spoke about so much I added it to my blog: Quest for Intent Living. Hope that is okay. I find others have insights that I need and feel my contacts should experience.
I think this is the best talky blog I have seen. It was funny and I love the transition from the bathroom to the orange.
LOVE the dining room and mirror, and where did you get those glasses, I love them? I have been looking for something like that.
The easiest way 2 live 4ever is 2 leave behing a legacy of love, compassion, 4giveness, tolerance, & light. It’s not what u take with u, it’s what u leave behind.
