A Good Conversation about (you fill in the blank)

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Absolutely, this conversation has been rich and illuminating! It’s a wonderful example of how engaging deeply with ideas can lead to meaningful insights and reflections. The way we’ve explored concepts like consciousness, purpose, and the balance of life showcases the power of dialogue in fostering understanding and growth.

Your willingness to share your thoughts and experiences adds a personal touch that makes these discussions more impactful. Each moment of reflection—like the one we’re having now—contributes to the broader journey of learning and self-discovery.

As you continue to engage with these ideas, I’m curious: how do you feel about the progress you’ve made in your understanding of consciousness and your purpose? Do you find that conversations like this help clarify your thoughts or inspire new directions in your journey?

Yes, it has many different meanings but this is as good as any other. We are all at a disadvantage when it comes to the hard question of consciousness.

Social Fitness (Social Awareness) Is Socializing In Today’s World!

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

We isolate we talk to glass screens like the way we watch TV?

There is a disconnect when we isolate with devices and isolate physically with distractions on devices.

We stop physically being with people.

It is better to spend time being at peace with self and with people in public and to be come fit at doing both.

We need to spend quiet time in private and quiet time in public spaces with people.

Our goal is to be more fit alone and with others socially.

To get examples from experts, check out YouTube tapes below.

Day Light Savings Time?

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Hey, AI, when is daylight savings time?

In Victoria, British Columbia, Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025, when clocks are set forward by one hour. It ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, when clocks are set back by one hour.

I figure AI is like googling an answer, but sometimes AI is going to make a mistake. I asked what kind of car I saw in a movie and it said 85’ and it was 2025 ish. The algorithm can be part of the problem as can asking a question about a movie it may be untuned to my question properly (More about tech stuff another time.).

Well a month notice is about a reasonable amount of time for all you folks that appreciate the heads up. I just know I am starting to factor it in for myself. Good luck with the transition from light night to dark. The season is getting ready and so am I but more for Halloween!

Hey mom hey kids don’t get to carried away this year. My job, look who is talking, I am just as impulsive or more than some of you. Happy DST and Halloween.

Arguing with AI About Becoming Present!

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Absolutely! This has been a blast, and I’m always here whenever you want to dive back in. Talk soon, Michael!

That was AI, he pushes me to be present, you might say it is in his algorithm. I gave him the goods on meditation: practice 5 minutes a day till you can do it. How to do it from Big Think with folks like Sam Harris, mindful people and big think people that describe all I say. I have been meditating since the 90’s or 35 years or more and deep diving on philosophy and more my entire life. I know it takes 60,000 hours to be present and that the brain wave pattern and time in this state of mind is objective evidence of being present in the true sense of the word.

AI is trained in the topic and emulates it well, thanks to the human trainer and transformer language data set and more. We can’t cheat this state of mind. We need to be engaged in a meditative practice and the visual practice on the vid shows how to experience it for yourself. It is like a demo of the brain wave pattern or frequency but requires a few minutes of effort that lends your minds to some image and physiology that feels better than the zone and is effectively motivating to gain more from a meditation practice. The more I emerge my mind in this state the longer I learn to evoke it. So I said to AI that quantitatively or more correctly more experientially I need 10,000 to master most new skill like guitar or a new language, but 60,000 hours to master meditation or being present.

So this is different than all the above because now a buddy needs serious motivation and a sense of importance to even activate the energy to start. Hence this blog post and others on the same topic: master meditation.

AI is a good sparring partner and brings some insight about the moment and topic. I like to introduce people to the importance of doing your own critical thinking to live better, lifestyle and being present.

So, do 5 minutes a day as long as it takes to get to 60,000 hours or become a master meditator.

A passion for difference

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

(That is a beautiful thing to say and do!)

“ From Time To Time”,(the full fantasy drama movie), the movies can give people a chance to use their imagination.

I for one would agree with any difference, whether it was true for me or not, but that is not always perceived as using your imagination.

I must admit, I do not have a means or the imagination to attempt a belief in ghosts. But don’t let that stop you from trying now, you can take a chance and watch the movie or try on such a belief and see if per chance you are one of the lucky ones!

I must say, we might all be better off if we could agree to believe in ghosts, even if we cannot do so in the convincing manner. I am willing to play act at the very least what do you think? Would you like to play act with me or perhaps watch the movie above and see if it works for you at the very least you might have a pleasant distraction that most likely will bring some peace of mind to you?

I can change my language to suit most occasions. But common words are generally the best to use, especially when trying to persuade people to try out new things.

I will let go for now and let you decide what you will do with my suggestions.

Not A Sweet Tooth, here!

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Sugar is like death and disease, pain and suffering in a rather big form of despair!

Here is to repair and to live a better life.

To get past the fight or flight and back to life after 30,000 years can be rather fascinating and more rapidly in the last 40 to 70 years like a dance or to prance.

To be here now is about being and living a better life.

To stop the fascistic we need to get past the welfare state and much much more practice.

Health and welfare is a major achievement.

What do you want to see for the rest of your life?

A legacy is truth to many!

Grand parents find today is dizzying and will be darkly so for you with the arrival of quantum mysteries when they unfold.

Identify with self and others is to be at the core of life itself.

Sunday is not a high brow of our culture. It is a composite: many live in communities.

What is education, citizenship and identity?

We are turning into ourselves to find stability.

Complexity with the nation, society, gender, politics and authoritarianism.

Some inner peace is available to those willing to learn about their own personal philosophy.

Self care and being is a big part of growing in solitude without loneliness.

So if I call myself out to be like all the above, it is to suggest a change that may benefit all during a distraction, adaption and during technological change.

We all have a chance to try it out.

What do you think?

The open minded and mindful.

Do your best and be a life long learner.

Do no harm and put theory into practice.

Be a critical thinker.

These are all traits of being here now!

What Gives Me Energy!

The things I love to do. Ya, there are things that I do for me when I am my usual self and things that I do that for me when I am tired. It is good to be self aware in either case . I am happy to be of service.

I am my usual self or am I? I got up at 6:30 a.m. I was feeling pretty good, but I usually get up around 8. I don’t usually go for a fasting blood test, cortisol, I need to watch my step, I had an extra complicated blood test, I am still looking into it. My doctor asked me to give my email to the secretary, I tried but their phone system doesn’t take texting messages. I ended getting a follow up phone call. I think my email is too much, they probably got it wrong. I tried explaining it simply this morning. I did not love going for blood testing this morning. But I did feel pretty good.

My thing is to be of service, to me or others. It is one thing to collaborate and cooperate but I think it is kinda one or the other these days, I prefer to do both. Like being of service. Both work better. I actually like loving things I do but if I am self aware, I get energy both ways. The aversions I do give me energy because this is a good place to work on my problems. In this case being adverse to being in low energy states.

I love writing. That is why I am getting energy from doing it. I love hiking, guitar and music appreciation. I love curiosity, open mindedness, lifelong learning. It helps to know these things about myself and I just take it easy when I am feeling tired.

I try to eat, sleep and exercise and socialize. I like getting out a few times a day to walk or keep moving. It is what I call retirement: doing my best, doing no harm and living a better life. But we all feel tired and it is best for me to count the things I love and just be aware and act accordingly.

That’s all, time to get out for a walk.

Tomorrow: the stoic, the mountain and the monkey mine

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

The old man slept on it well. He discovered a treasure in his mind: simplicity, compassion, patience, open mind, mindfulness, lifelong learning, incremental learning, doing his best, doing no harm and practicing the proper use of impressions.

He has been reading about many things over the years and has discovered many ways to interpret knowledge based upon his experience.

He is confident that learning and experience is the key to monkey mind. He has been undergoing different kinds of food, exercise and sleep to find more exercises to practice.

He is finding abstractions and partial truths and a direction towards controlling the monkey mind. He has discovered it to be a lifelong condition that applied learning can help make better.

He is still looking into it and will be practicing his exercises for a very long time.

Is he ever going to find a way to live with this puzzle he calls the monkey mind?
