Because fixed point operations can produce results that have more bits than the operands,
there is opportunity for information loss.

if you truly wish to make an apple pie from scratch,
you must first invent the universe.

no creature is ever lacking in its completeness,
for wherever it stands, it never fails to cover the ground.

renunciation is not giving up the things of the world,
but accepting that they go away.

And accepting the effect we have on which way they go.

We do truly create our own reality which direction is up to us to point.

If you are going to strap on a "transmitter" then you can project what ever you want. Pain, fear, happiness joy.

But at the same time the world around you has to help keep you balanced so It is hard to just focus on "The Good" to create "Good"

I believe that balancing this is like trying to balance water. All you can hope for is for it to settle to a calm. But if there is one distraction then the "negative waves" interrupt our peace.

Interesting question.

requisites an effective body/mind grasp of 'what is way' in a going manner

does Chief have this and is able to impart such?

or just recognizes it's essentialness

and essential to what?

science may argue that phagocytosis/reproduction is enough

I am getting there, I do have it, but the more I learn ythe more that another question. But htose questions are irrelevant to the bug picture. We will trying never have a total understanding, but what I have found is enough for me.

mayavin wrote: or just recognizes it's essentialness

The essentials become part of the "machine" and become something you begin to use with out thinking about it.

mayavin wrote:and essential to what?

Essential to peace. Inner and outer peace and how others affect that peace and how we affect others peace.

You are so inquisitive little fire elf. So many questions.

Let me ask you a question. What do you think it means? What do you think with all the "lessons" the world has taught you mean. Your path must have brought you to some theory up to this point.

On the eighth day of a [lunar] month, half of the moon is bright and the
other half is dark; the very appearance of the bright part [the disclosed]
affirms but does not negate the existence of the hidden part. Likewise, the
manifestation of something always implies the existence of the
unmanifested or concealed part of the same thing. At the moment when
the bright part of the moon is disclosed, the dark part also â€œsecretlyâ€

i have learned to place my happiness within reach

nothing more, nothing less

at the moment, it reveals itself to me as cognition

and i aspire to be content with the evidences of it's other forms as well

Chief · Post by **Chief** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:55 am

Point taken.

What I am establishing is something in me. If what I find is excepted then what I established cannot be concealed.

You can not ignore the depth, but to fear the bottom of the unknown is well nothing but fear. I have "Taken the leap of faith" in my mind and did not hit bottom. There was no bottom no top no sides, just the vastness of more.

Because there is no face to hide what I am talking about. The face of what I see can be either beautiful or ugly. That is up to my surroundings and how they make me feel. So if I try to "Battle evil" until there is nothing left but good, then therefore I am only "touched" by love. And I will create more love.

Every action has an effect on another. Here is a simple thing you can do to prove my point. If you go out today and "honestly" compliment someone, it may seem strange at first to him or her but they will think about it and it will take the place of a moment that could have been occupied with a bad moment. But now since the compliment was "forced" on them it was not that they creating the moment but the person that said the compliment.

This leaves a larger opportunity for the now "infected" person to pass on the "diseases" of love.

Now imagine if you where bombarded with this â€œenergyâ€
