A poem I wrote for my girl on New Years Eve.

Jr Wells,

:laughing: No, you certainly do not. Whatever was I thinking?! I suppose i was just thinking in terms of avatars “in general”.
You know, sometimes it IS other people who can add clarity to WHO we are and are becoming…sometimes our enemy, if we have one, can do this, better than our friends can.
Incidentally, you are not my Australian friend - he doesn’t roll the way in which you do.

Thank you for clarifying my identity.

But I didn’t clarify your identity. What I did, by a slow process of elimination, :stuck_out_tongue: may have brought me closer, in a sense, to who you might be, by pointing out who I intuit you couldn’t be.

Well, perhaps I did clarify it a bit. When they “clarify” butter, the impurities are removed from it. Words can be so wonderfully interesting, can’t they? . Take the word, “chip” for instance - both a noun and a verb, one can find one in a casino, on a floor, on the ground, in a computer and even on a shoulder.

Trying to fit the right word with the right meaning is like an exciting archaeological dig, I think. But one needs to know and understand first that there is something there hidden in the first place.

I am not sure how to respond.
Are you stalking me on ILP? Please stop, I do not like what you are doing. I do not know you and do not care to find out. Leave me alone please.

:laughing:
Wow - that is all that I can say to this - wow.
This is the epitome of reading too much into someone’s words, misunderstanding them and/or mistaking someone’s intentions.
Aside from that, you are a bit too supercilious for my liking. Come down from your high horse, why don’t you, before that horse throws you.
You are married in the first place. In the second place, I am not the least bit interested in you. As I said, at first I thought that you were someone I knew before. More than once, your attitiude has shown me that you are definitely NOT this man.
If you will take the time to read my posts to others, you will find that their “flavor” is more or less along the same kind of lines. I’m kind of a warm, friendly and sometimes even frisky person - it’s in my nature, TO MOST PEOPLE. But I am harmless.

But you know what, I wouldn’t want to scare you so therefore I will not respond to any more of your texts. Rest assured of that. You must love your conspiracy theories. #-o

Oh, and one more thing - Stop Flattering Yourself!

Stop projecting your wild theories onto me. I do not like it.

I think the Avatar and the self can be looked at relationally, and not necessarily causationally. They can actually be relative to each other, and as one changes, the other changes with it in tandem. Therefore impressions count. Impressing one of the
other, may be taken at face value, or, not. How to test this phenomena? Testing is done not by playing the one against the other, and trying to find
significant and correlational value, where the assumption of appearance and reality could be assumed on equal footing, but as a type of verification , where doubt over correlation’s
approximate relative equality is assumed per context.

The processing of such information may be
an unconscious or a conscious process. The gut level
feeling is usually the best way to describe the conclusions people draw,until and when,a conviction develops on basis of repeated interaction. Even then,
it’s possible to deceive, and be in turn deceived.

There are numerous examples when a matrimonial
relationships turn into a battle ground of conflicts,
where often, partners become amazed that they have not actually learned to know each other. They can go on living in a world of illusion, as long as their
relationship lasts. Some people prefer it that way, for
the reason, that illusion may be more ‘real’ and ‘true’ then reality, as a mechanism to perpetuate a seemingly lusterless relationship.

Most people prefer their illusion over the reality. Reality is often too confronting and hurtful.

Except they have no choice when push comes to shove, their illusion bcomes their reality. They do not know the difference. They are lost.

I do not think people know how to deal with ambiguity. People can deal with the unknown easily but it is ambiguity that gets people confused. This ambiguity then allows a persons imagination to run wild.

It is this ambiguity which prompts people to create their illusions. But it is this same ambiguity that allows the beauty of poetry to blossom (as in the OP). We are simultaneously cursed and blessed.

Orbie, of course they have a choice. Sometimes it just takes a strong, to use your word, “shove” in the right direction to make someone aware of their illusion[s] and then a bit of practice to continue to see through their illusions as they crop up and to transcend them or dissolve them. Everything is a process.
But yes, there are some who want to live within the Matrix or better still who would like to continue to see the shadows on the wall of the cave as themselves.

True. Both views are prevalent, especially in this modern post modern world, where there are extreme reactionaries, who pine for the illusive darkness which imbued with the sense of illumination, which sought the future hope of enlightenment and hope. Now we are jaded, and cynically get lost in the middle of our confusions,narrating patterns similar to the ones on the original cave, loosing our faith. Everything is analyze le, we have become our own creators through this analysis, and we have become schizoid: we long for clarity, but are blinded by the light. We have created the illusion that we have created the light, because, when we are not to see the light of the forest, in our absence, there must not be light.

I feel the urge to take off my clothes.

I think HMIE’s poetry is better than his maths :smiley: I thought it a fine poem indeed :smiley:

It was actually a good poem, I liked it. I felt like taking off my clothes due to the hypnotic gif and not the poem though (sorry HIME).

I don’t think my poem can create infinite cycles.

My numbers can - observe.

  1. ← Not demonic numbers - magic numbers.

6 x 6 + 6 = 42 [quantum life]

6 x 6 = 36. 1/10 of a circle [geometry]

36 x 6 = 216.

216[2+1]
36 ← Cycle

36 = Three Sixes, literally.

Thus 666 [Quantum Infinity]

Welcome back.

The OP is absolutely hilarious :laughing:

I thought you might have been some arid mathematician, without any spirit — a robot. But boy was I wrong haha good stuff, buddy. The picture is ridiculous, but funny.

Not easy to “hate” after that poem
