Imagination

Everything we see, hear or feel is an interpretation of the reality. Our mind is a great interpretor which tells us what is happening around us. However, we have a possibility to change and form the interpretor, so that the story we are being told is better aligned with the story with think we ought to hear.

Given that this is true, here is my question. If we believe that something has happened, hasn't that happened than? If I go out and see the rain, and feel the raindrops, isn't it raining for me? Even though it maybe is dry as in desert? If I see and feel the rain, the truth for me is that it is raining, no matter what anybody else says.

What is real? How much of the lives that we live is a real, solid thing, that can not be affected by the interpretation, and how much is an interpretation?

And isn't the perfect way to happiness just fooling your self into believing that you already are there?

How to build an discussion forum

I spoke to Aner at lunch today, and he had a good idea. He wanted to build a system of rules that would moderate and lie as a ground to all future discussions. I agreed with him that it would be a great thing to have, but said that maybe the right way to go would be to define a forum by discussing and not before the discussion it self.

However, students were miserable and lunch was 2 chicked drums and 3 kilos potato. And we talked about zen and becoming free and about being chicken again.´

Let's see if this blog can be a place to put things in writing and develop a framework where interesting discussions can take place.

Bah.
