The Limits of Our Responsibility

We can learn and adapt. We can govern ourselves. We have even begun to understand rules and laws of Earth and beyond. But our control over the movement of and changes of the Universe, the Solar system, and our very Earth. We have begun to gather evidence of happenings of perhaps 5 million years ago, but our interpretations of it sometimes seem like silly guesses.

                Scientists have been helpful. They have learned that is difficult for humans to understand everything at once. They also find that we can learn a lot from samples of reality. They have also learned that we have a lot to learn about the quality of  samples. They have also learned that we are capable of many slip-ups in our interpretation of the information we gain from our samples.

                Even so we have the ability to learn and do have the will to learn correctly, truly, and even approach reality. Knowledgeable scientific interpretation of high quality is becoming available and we can learn to judge it, but it does take learning. Learning form which we may benefit. 

                We have learn that some happenings are cyclical in nature. Not perfectly so, but recognizably so.

                We have learned that we are sensitive and are beginning to learn just how sensitive trees are.

                We are learning that we have a lot responsibility. We know that our responsibilities are not infinite, but seem to have plenty to learn about the limits of our responsibility.

                                                                                                                 rcs       

I Like the Geometry

I kind of understand how quantum mechanics is understood and I am beginning to see its predictive value, but I have kind of lost my grip on reality.                        rcs

Let Days Be Full of Joy

RCS Posts: Life, joy, and love.

            Enjoy life well. Enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Let more music and dance into your life. Bathe and wear fresh clothes. Help the children and embrace the women.  We die; shall we not live? 
            Embrace her and kiss her. Avoid drunkenness. Avoid lies. Take responsibility for your life. Choose as well as you can. 
 

            Let knowledge of your resources come to you. Be open to knowledge of yourself. Move temperately. Let knowledge of a higher quality of life come to you. 
 

            Allow yourself to serve another with appropriate dignity, honor, respect, and love. Cooperate with the natural order and the way of things. 
 

            Love the people around you. Enjoy nurturing yourself and your world. Do a bit more of what comes naturally. Enjoy nurturing and allowing yourself to be nurtured. Enjoy it exactly as it is.
 

            Love reality. Let days be full of joy.

I may read this again myself.

Taoistic Writings

RCS Posts Esoteric to Exoteric: Taoistic Sayings

 

            I find something attractive about a philosopher who laughs with me. I have enjoyed the humor of Taoist writers. I find much of their writing witty and accessible. Much is also usable and wise. 

Their use of the following phrases has moved my thinking and perceiving in useful ways:
+ Accept the reality of the available freedom.
+ Easy does it.
+ Attend to your energy reserve,
+ No regrets.
+ Set your burden down and enjoy the water.
+ The door is not locked.
+ Peacefully rejoice in reality.
+ Know the joyful security of wandering whe there is no path.
+ Enjoy your wit and romantic adventures.
+ Is it really so?
+ Great knowledge and long life.
+ How do you know that it is so?
+ Be little moved by praise and blame.
+ Discriminate.
+ Be clear about the nature of honor and disgrace.
+ Small self, little vanity.
+ Know the rule without ruling.
+ Know you.
+ Be willing to know the quality of your perception.
+ Let go of the clutter and the trivia.
+ Nothing is useless.
+ All is useful.
+ As you smell the roses, hear the music.
+ As you speak, be aware of how little you know.
+ Nothing depends on your point of view. 
+ Your opinion is changing this instant.
+ Let them be.
+ How can we understand it all in one day?
+ Clarify your understanding today.
+ Embrace reality.

            When you want some humor, wit, and laughter, read some of their writings.

            I guess I could have published this to my Esoteric to Exoteric blog.
