The Tao of Publias II

Discussion in 'Psychology' started by Publias, Aug 21, 2002.

  1. do you really find all this useless verbiage usefull? I mean get real man, what are you, a nun?

    note to baron: is it possible to put entire threads on ignore so we don't have to see them popping up everytime they are updated with spewage?

    this would be nice, that way I wouldn't have to maintain a long list of threads that suck.

    Thats why the world is a beautiful place; We are all different. What some may consider to be garbage others may consider to be gold.

    There is a much easier way not to read this thread....just dont come in....

    It's very useful for any competetive endeavor. It's less useful for most 9-5 jobs.

    Permabull actually raises a good question... Are words useful?

    To me these words are useless, but they can be useful to someone who has not yet "grasped" the things I speak of. I am pointing at something that goes beyond words. They are useful only to convey ideas, but once the idea has been "grasped" the words are ultimately meaningless. It is kinda like putting legs on a snake; unnecessary!

    Just like a finger is needed to point at the moon, words are needed to point at the "______", but once the "_____" has been recognized it is useless to trouble ones self with the words/finger.

    Like Chuang Tzu say; "Fishing baskets are employed to catch fish; but when the fish are "got" men forget the baskets."

    Always keep in mind this one simple thing when you are reading this thread, the words I speak are not the "_____"! The "____" will always go beyond words and conceptualization... I am just pointing a finger :)

    Like Korzybski say; "The map is not the territory"

    PEACE and good trading,

  8. greetings,

    yes, i would like very much to see more of your uncle's art. i have a small collection of modern pieces. yeah, lewis carroll--one of the first psychadelic authors to gain mass acceptance. i have a unique musician friend, who is also a trader, who did a multi CD set based on carroll's work. www.swingingaxe.com. its certainly not for everyone.

    best,

    If you want to get your point across; yes. It is much easier than banging your hands on your chest...
