I just realized that I may be conveying a contradiction in the last two posts. Having no intent and focusing on positive intent by agreeing with Everything. I would like to rant for a bit about how subtly difficult this perception that I've realized in my own mind is extremely difficult to explain to others. For so long I would tell others in conversation that I want them to think not NOT what they would like to do, yet just focus on what needs doing. For the spirit leaves those that belabor it. I seemed to be always misunderstood as crazy, and now that another has written to me my own original idea, I am overjoyed. Yet back to my original idea that I've conveyed a contradiction. Opposing terms are best solved with a third or fourth alternative, let us call it plan C. Let me propose an imaginary conflict, and please post your resolutions. So if you were an actor in a film and the director doesn't like the direction that the film is heading, yet you did, would you as an actor be able to control your own person enough to guide the film away from the direction of the director? The director's plan is plan A. The actor's plan is plan B. Explain?

precisely.

This reminds me of this thread: "Without intent you have nothing" Best in my mind to release intent from your person. Keep nothing. Loosen attachment and Live.

Please?

@Everything Pay Positive Attention.

The neural pathways in our craniums can habitually be triggered. If you have a pathway as a recurring thought pattern, in my opinion, you cannot ignore it. It is there with cause.

We ought to quit wasting fossil fuels for space pornos. A pleasure ride to space is as pointless as a pornography.

It is best to leave them as emotions if the are negative in your mind: source: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/50584-your-beliefs-become-your-thoughts-your-thoughts-become-your-words

At times, I've found that accepting negative emotions is a healthy lifestyle, My brother has said, "One has to take the good with the bad."

Shoot down his invitation please.

I'll offer 'cosmic states of being' according to the I Ching.

From the above wikipedia link: " There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks" Orson Wells anyone: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/

Every time that I posed that question, I was met with silence. I never received a humane response.

The meaning that I meant to convey is that following a live rabbit down its burrow would disturb it's living situation, and therefore disturb your observation of its living situation. As far as uncertainty goes, take a look at Schrodinger's cat . When I used to frequent drinking establishments, I would bring it into conversation as, "There is a 50/50 chance that the cat would die in an enclosed box with decaying nuclear material, yet Why would you want to kill a cat?"

I've read and heard about this 'rabbit hole' principle and I strongly disagree its validity. Do investigators of crimes interfere with the criminals until they are certain that they are in fact criminals? On the human level, the nature of being remains regardless of observation. So in my mind at least, the nature of the sub atomic world would also remain. Absolute contradiction of terms. There is no such phrase as a 'certain probability.'

Could you quote a citation proper? I have a copy: p. 133 "It is important to realize that the statistical formulation of the laws of atomic and subatomic physics does not reflect our ignorance of the physical situation... In quantum theory, we have come to recognize probability as a fundamental feature of the atomic reality which governs all processes" To me at least the above quote is an example of western confusion regarding the topic. A probability denotes a level of ignorance or estimation, and the previous statement states that we are not ignorant of the reality. It became a stopping point for my reading, as I read critically and am careful of the sources of information that I read.

When I think of quantum mechanics, I think of the emptiness of all reality. At the nano, pico scopic level there is a void of energy and matter as detected by modern physics. To draw into the void 'collapses' your existence. My suggestion is release your intent and keep nothing, attempting to focus on the tip of one your own body's hair may be more important than manifesting a new reality for your being.

Isn't there a Chinese proverb: 'A curse is a blessing.'

Perhaps, just logically thinking, the soul is de-emphasized to show greater value to the flesh.

I'd like to reference the Platonic Theory of forms . My understanding is that there is one version of a person in existence in heaven, and our realities mirror that one existence. Although this is not necessarily Buddhist in concept (I've read many source Buddhist Sutras) perhaps you are reading from a secondary perspective about Buddhism and the author's Western viewpoint is getting in the way?

judging by the pictograph it could be a man holding a shen or binding cord between heaven and earth.

Huainanzi 6.1 "...Now if you keep intact your nature and guard your authenticity and do not do damage to your person [when you] meet with emergencies or are oppressed by difficulties, your essence will penetrate [upward] to Heaven;..."

Looks like a man holding a staff.
