    Is it more important that I believe you have a heartbeat than I have a heartbeat ?

    «There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

      Your resting heartbeat is telling you more than you think!

        If the mystics who preach that we, collectively, create the reality we experience from the maelstrom of potentiality that is Maya by our beliefs, what happens to your heartbeat if a majority of us cease to believe in its reality? Do you cease to exist, or do they? Will Rogers never met me.

          A heartbeat is, and is not.

          If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

            yep, but, a heartbeat has rhythm; if it loses the beat, your are not well.

              Another view is that the nature of that reality we don't see, because we are projections of it, is ceaseless change and transformation between opposites; is it as likely that the heartbeat is also created by a heartbeat reality, one that can (while we are comatose, or in deep sleep) not be perceived by us, yet exists (or, so we believe, or predict on the basis of experience and social consensus ? These words by Giordano Bruno (eviscerated alive, then burned at the stake in 1600), and his other writings, his heliocentric astronomical beliefs, and teachings, were reasons he was convicted of heresy (he refused to recant, and, so, was condemned to be burned alive) are interesting:

              Quote:

              “The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude.”

                :thumbsup: Being a student of the Western Esoteric Tradition, e.g. a first degree mystic, I give you ten out of ten for that.
