The Difference Between Intelligence & Discernment

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND DISCERNMENT:
IT IS TRUE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE MORE INTELLIGENT BUT INTELLIGENCE IS NOT THE ‘BIG DEAL’ IT IS OFTEN MADE OUT TO BE BECAUSE IT IS JUST A PERSON’S (PARTLY CONDITIONED OR MOTIVATED) SUPERIORITY IN MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVING THE SUBSTANCE & STYLE IN ONE OR MORE OF THE ACTIVITIES OR FABRICATIONS OF THE MIND, NAMELY PERCEPTION, THINKING, SPEAKING AND DOING THINGS FROM HIS MENTAL JUKEBOX THAT MUST NOT BE CONFUSED WITH DISCERNMENT, THE PASSIVE ABILITY TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY ARE.
(If you are determined to impress yourself and others with your intelligence in bodily skills eg sports or playing piano, speech, thinking and perceptions, you apply yourself to learn or memorize many things and practice frequently or learn to retrieve slickly. A similarly capable person may not be bothered and therefore be less intelligent. Therefore intelligence is a mixture of ‘natural talent’ and motivated cultivation)
INTELLIGENCE IS QUITE COMMONPLACE BUT NOBLE DISCERNMENT IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE IF YOU CAN SEE THINGS CLEARLY YOU WON’T BE HERE BUT IN HEAVEN, NEVER TO RETURN ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA. INTELLIGENCE IS NOT MERITORIOUS BUT IT IS OFTEN MOTIVATED BY A DESIRE TO SUCCEED & CULTIVATED (NEED REGULAR PRACTICE) AND IS LIKELY TO LEAD TO CONCEIT OR ATTACHMENT OR SELF IDENTITY VIEWS THAT IS ONE OF THREE FETTERS TO FUTURE STATES OF WOE, ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA.
DISCERNMENT IS TRULY MERITORIOUS AND A REQUIREMENT TO GO TO HEAVEN. IF YOU CANNOT SEE THINGS CLEARLY YOU ARE BLIND AND MUST GO TO THE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE BLIND OR THE LOWER REALMS.
THERE IS INTELLIGENCE IN SO FAR AS SOME PEOPLE HAVE BETTER (MOTION, SPEECH, THOUGHT) SKILLS, A BROADER AND DEEPER KNOWLEDGE BASE AND BETTER RETRIEVAL COMPARED TO OTHERS BUT APART FROM SUPERIOR MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVING, THERE MAY BE OR IS NOTHING IN INTELLIGENCE.
INTELLIGENCE IS A QUALITATIVE NOT QUANTITATIVE DIFFERENCE JUST AS A BMW MAY BE A BETTER CAR THAN A FORD BUT ARE BOTH STILL CARS.
THERE IS INTELLIGENCE IN MOTION (GREAT ATHLETES OR SPORTSMEN), SPEECH (SINGERS, ORATORS) & THOUGHT (SCHOLARS, SCIENTISTS) AND ALTHOUGH INTELLECTUALS MIGHT LIKE TO IMAGINE THEIR INTELLECTUAL INTELLIGENCE IS SUPERIOR TO THE ATHLETE’S BODILY INTELLIGENCE, IT IS FALSE CONCEIT BECAUSE NEITHER CONFERS LESS STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION OR SEEING THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY ARE THAT IS A REQUISITE TO GOING TO HEAVEN.
JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS INTELLIGENT OR A SUPERIOR FABRICATOR OF THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF HIS PERCEIVING, THINKING, SPEAKING OR BODILY ACTIONS, ALL OF WHICH DEPEND ON SUPERIOR MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVING THAT DO NOT REQUIRE THE ATTENDANCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS DOES NOT MEAN HE MUST BE DISCERNING OR SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY ARE.
ALL (NOT SOME) INTELLIGENT PEOPLE MUST (NOT MAY) HAVE POOR DISCERNMENT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THEY SHOULD BE DISCERNING OR SEE THINGS CLEARLY BECAUSE THEY CONSTANTLY DIVIDE THEIR ATTENTION BETWEEN THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF THEIR & OTHERS’ PERCEIVING, THINKING, SPEAKING AND MOVING, THEY IN ADDITION DO MORE THAN ONE THING AT A TIME, THEY CONSTANTLY GENERATE STRESS AND RESTLESSNESS BY APPLYING NOT JUST UNNECESSARY EXCESSIVE FORCE BUT EXCESSIVE FORCE THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING IN STRENGTH AND SPEED OF CHANGE.
JUST AS FORCE MUST BE USED TO ROTATE A CAMERA’S LENS SO THAT IT BECOMES PROGRESSIVELY OUT OF FOCUS, IN THE SAME WAY FORCE MUST BE APPLIED ON THE MIND TO MAKE IT INCREASINGLY OUT OF FOCUS AND UNABLE TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY (UNDISCERNING).
IN ORDER TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY ONE MUST NOT TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE MIND, LET ALONE EXCESSIVE FORCE THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING IN STRENGTH AND SPEED. IT IS INDISPENSABLE THAT ONE FABRICATES (IN PERCEIVING, THINKING, SPEAKING AND MOVING) WITH MINIMAL CONSTANT FORCE AND SPEED LIVE FOR THE OCCASION WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF A DISTRACTING STYLE AND BECAUSE ALL INTELLIGENT PEOPLE FABRICATE IN PERCEIVING, THINKING, SPEAKING AND MOVING WITH EXCESSIVE CONSTANTLY CHANGING FORCE AND SPEED WITH A DISTRACTING STYLE PRESENT BY ROTE, THEIR MINDS MUST BE CONSTANTLY OUT OF FOCUS SO THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY ARE. THIS IS THE REASON WHY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ARE ALSO CLUELESS LIKE THOSE WHO ARE LESS INTELLIGENT THAT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY STRETCHING THEIR SYLLABLES, CONSTANTLY CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE AND HOW THIS IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT MUST BESET THEM. IF I WERE TO ASK INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HEARD WHAT I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES TO DEMONSTRATE TO ME HOW THEY HAVE JUST STRETCHED THEIR SYLLABLES, CHANGED SPEED AND LOUDNESS, THEY WILL BE DUMBFOUNDED, NEITHER CAN THEY HELP IT BECAUSE AFTER I HAVE SHOWN THEM HOW WHAT THEY HAVE JUST SAID SOUNDS LIKE WITHOUT STRETCHING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS THEY WILL REVERT TO THEIR USUAL STRETCHING CHANGING SPEEED AND LOUDNESS STYLE.
As the Buddha said, it is in the nature of things that a calm mind becomes concentrated and a concentrated mind needs no effort to see things clearly as they are (and therefore it is in the nature of things that an agitated or emotional mind cannot be concentrated, it is impossible). You can only have a calm mind if you do not agitate it, you do not apply force on it and you need mental force or emotions to do so. Because ordinary people’s minds, including intelligent people are never with minimal constant force even for a moment, their minds cannot be concentrated and therefore discerning or see things as they are.
ALL INTELLIGENT PEOPLE CAN BE SEEN IMPARTIALLY WITHOUT RIDICULE TO BEHAVE WITH A SIMULTANEOUS SUBSTANCE AND STYLE IN WHATEVER THEY PERCEIVE, THINK, SAY AND DO FROM MENTAL JUKEBOXES AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN MEMORIZING AND RESTRIEVING IN JUKEBOX BEHAVIOR. SINCE THERE ARE NO OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT A MIND CAN PERFORM APART FROM PERCEPTION, THINKING, SPEAKING AND MOVING AND THEY ARE ALL DONE BY ROTE THAT ONLY REQUIRES MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVING, ALL INTELLIGENT PEOPLE CAN BE NO MORE THAN SUPERIOR ROBOTS AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY SUPERIOR ROBOTS SHOULD SEE THINGS CLEARER OR BE DISCERNING. SUPERIOR ROBOTIC FUNCTION AND SEEING CLEARER ARE TWO UNCONNECTED THINGS.
EVEN IF YOU ENJOY STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS (BECAUSE IT IS STYLISH) AND THINK STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION ARE PRICES WORTH PAYING, THERE IS NO REASON WHY, ESPECIALLY BEING SUPPOSEDLY INTELLIGENT, YOU CANNOT SEE AND THEREFORE CANNOT TELL HOW YOU ARE CONSTANTLY STRETCHING YOUR SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS. IN OTHER WORDS, SINCE YOU ARE SO INTELLIGENT, WHY CAN’T YOU TELL ME EXACTLY HOW YOU STRETCH YOUR SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS? THE REASON WHY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE CANNOT TELL IS BECAUSE INTELLIGENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEEING THUS, INTELLIGENCE IS MERELY SUPERIOR MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVAL, THE REASON THEY CANNOT SEE THEMSELVES DOING SO IS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DISCERN THINGS AS THEY ARE THAT THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS.
IN THEORY INTELLIGENCE CANNOT BE ANYTHING MORE THAN SUPERIOR MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVING BECAUSE WHATEVER ACTIVITIES THAT PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE, NAMELY THE WHAT AND HOW THEY PERCEIVE, THINK, SPEAK AND DO, FOR ONE WHO SEES CLEARLY WITHOUT DEPRECATING, ARE ALWAYS DONE BY ROTE FROM MENTAL JUKEBOXES. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE IN JUKEBOX BEHAVIOR THAN MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVING AND THEREFORE INTELLIGENCE WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THE WAY THAT INTELLIGENT BEING BEHAVES (PERCEIVES, THINKS, DOES OR SPEAK) CANNOT BE ANYTHING MORE THAN SUPERIOR MEMORIZING AND RETREIVING.
Intelligence is not just superior thinking but different people can be intelligent in different areas of activity, namely perception, thought, speech and motion. You can be very skilled in or intelligent in bodily actions (eg athletes, footballers), speech (orators or politicians or singers) or thinking (scientists, intellectuals) but even top or very intelligent footballers and intellectuals must attend school or universities to learn or memorize from others and practice regularly even obsessively to reproduce unerringly from memory their bodily, oratorical/singing and intellectual skills. No matter how intelligent a doctor is he must practice regularly his skills (eg surgery), must keep abreast of events (also known as memorizing and retrieving) if he is to maintain his superiority. Thus intelligence be it bodily skills, speech or thinking are learnt, require learning or memorizing and retrieving from memory which have nothing to do with discernment or seeing things clearly as they are. Even top scientists did not invent their disciplines but they all went through a process of learning the knowledge and skills of their disciplines and their intelligence largely if not entirely revolves on how much they have memorized and how they retrieve to apply this knowledge.
If there is something more wonderful or marvelous to intelligence than superior memorizing and retrieval then intelligent people should have discovered long ago that they and everybody else constantly stretched their syllables, changed speed and loudness and this is the only reason why they all suffer from stress, restlessness and distraction. The fact that all intelligent people can be objectively shown to constantly stretch their syllables, change speed and loudness shows that there is nothing special about them, they are just as fundamentally dumb or mindlessly robotic as supposedly less intelligent people. Intelligence is not what is hyped to be.
INTELLIGENCE IS NOT JUST IN RELATION TO THINKING BUT THERE ARE EQUALLY VALID INTELLIGENCE IN PERCEPTION, SPEECH AND BODILY MOTIONS. INTELLIGENCE IS NOTHING MORE THAN SUPERIOR MEMORIZING AND RETRIEVING OF ONE OR ALL THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE ACTIVITIES OF THE MIND FROM MENTAL JUKEBOXES AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PASSIVE DISCERNMENT OR THE ABILITY TO SEE THINGS CLEARLY AS THEY ARE WHICH DEMANDS A CALM MIND THAT CONDUCTS ITS ACTIVITIES WITH MINIMAL CONSTANT FORCE. BECAUSE ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE INCLUDING INTELLIGENT PEOPLE DO NOT FULFILL THIS CRITERIA THEY ARE UNDISCERNING WHICH IS THE REASON WHY THEY CANNOT SEE THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN THEIR SPEECH AND HOW THIS IS THE ONLY ROOT OF THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT BESET THEM.
Genius Is 100% Perspiration:
There is a saying that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration acknowledging that hard work (in memorizing and retrieving from memory) is the foundation of discoveries but even that 1% attributed to inspiration may be merely the bingo or eureka moment when the right memory retrieved finally resolves the problem.
Einstein discovered the arcane that E= MC squared but he could not discover what was blatant and constant that there are constant stretching of syllables, changes in speed and loudness in his speech and that of everyone else and how this was the only root to the stress, restlessness and distraction that he and everyone else must not just suffer regularly from but is inexorably warping and degrading their minds so that it will end in insanity of some form unless suicide or death intervenes and the person is headed even for perdition.
I am confident that if the top intellectuals in whatever fields were to read what I have said and given time to examine themselves, they would still nevertheless speak with constant stretching, changes in speed and loudness and if I were to ask them to demonstrate to me how what they have just said would sound like if they did not stretch any syllable, changed any speed or loudness, they would not be able to do so and instead they may even get angry. Even if you are resentful, surely being such great intellectuals, it should not be beyond your ability to demonstrate to me exactly how you have stretched your syllables, changed speed and loudness. Not only can very intelligent people not tell, they are defensive of their stretching, changing speed and loudness even when they are the causes of the stress, restlessness and distraction they must compulsorily experience, they have an appointment with mad or uncontrollable stress, restlessness and distraction and are even headed for perdition.
The reason why I am confident that even top intellectuals will not be able to demonstrate to me how they stretch their syllables, changed speed and loudness is because I have yet to come across anyone (including Einstein) whose appearance, movements and speech does not betray constant stretching, changes in speed and loudness, and even those who are well educated, whom I have demonstrated personally many times what stretching, speed and loudness changes sound like nevertheless continue to offend as they have always done as if they are robots that cannot help themselves.
False Conceit:
You may feel pride that you are intelligent in being able to calculate complex figures like 567 times 489 where others are unable to but you are deluded, harbor significant false self identity views because intelligence is not what it is made up to be but it is merely a mindless or mechanical superiority in rote memorizing and retrieving. The only requirement in order to calculate complex figures is the memory and retrieval from memory of the steps that must be followed to arrive at the answer. There is nothing exclusively intelligent about you that enabled you to calculate but it is your memory of the steps that must be taken that enabled you to do so. There is nothing intrinsically intelligent or unintelligent about memory.
Contact With Force Not Object:
THE REASON WHY DAILY LIFE IS STRESSFUL IS BECAUSE CONTACT IN DAILY LIFE IS PREPONDERANTLY WITH FORCE THAT DEFORMS OR STRESSES THE MIND AND LINGERS RATHER THAN PASSIVE OR FORCELESS CONTACT WITH OBJECTS. CONTACTS THAT APPEAR TO BE WITH OBJECTS ARE ACTUALLY CONTACTS WITH FORCE.
CONTACT (BY THE CONSCIOUSNESS) WITH (STATIONARY) OBJECTS IS ALWAYS PASSIVE LEADING TO FEELINGS THAT CAN BE PLEASANT, UNPLEASANT OR NEUTRAL THAT STARTS AND ENDS WITH CONTACT.
CONTACT (BY THE CONSCIOUSNESS) WITH FORCE IS ALWAYS ACTIVE (CONDITIONING, DEFORMING, HAS MOMENTUM) LEADING TO THE EXPERIENCE OF EMOTION (NOT FEELING), STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION (UNABLE TO FOCUS) THAT LINGER OR TAKE TIME TO DISSIPATE.
THE SIGHTS & SOUNDS GENERATED BY PEOPLE AND ANIMALS THAT AN OBSERVER PERCEIVES ARE NEVER VISUAL OR AUDIO CONTACTS WITH OBJECTS BUT CONTACT WITH FORCE BECAUSE THERE ARE CONSTANT ADDED FORCEFULNESS, CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE THAT ALL OBSERVERS CAN EXPERIENCE AS AN APPLICATION OF FORCE AND FORCEFUL CHANGES ON THEIR MINDS. ONLY IF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF PEOPLE’S POSTURES, MOTION AND SOUNDS THEY MAKE ARE AT MINIMAL CONSTANT FORCE AND SPEED WILL SIGHTS AND SOUNDS BE PURELY VISUAL OR AUDIO CONTACT WITH OBJECTS. BECAUSE THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS GENERATED BY PEOPLE AND ANIMALS HAVE CONSTANT FORCEFUL CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE, CONTACTS WITH THEM ARE PREPONDERANTLY CONTACT WITH FORCE NOT OBJECTS AS IT IDEALLY SHOULD BE. THIS IS THE REASON WHY ALL BEINGS MUST EXXPERIENCE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION AFTER SOCIAL CONVERSATIONS OR WATCHING TV OR LISTENING TO MUSIC BECAUSE THESE CONTACTS ARE WITH FORCE THAT BATTERS THEIR MINDS TO CREATE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT LINGERS AND TAKES TIME TO DISSIPATE EVEN IF THEY RETIRED.
Every time you say or do something forcefully by forceful stretching syllables, changing in speed and loudness, every time you hear another’s voice or singing that have forceful stretching and changes in speed and loudness, you are exerting force on your mind or force is exerted on your mind to cause pain that lingers.
ALL (NOT SOME) SIGHT & SOUND CONTACTS WITH OTHER BEINGS ARE NEVER PURE CONTACTS WITH OBJECTS THAT GENERATE PASSIVE FLEETING FEELINGS BUT THEY ARE PREDOMINANTLY CONTACTS WITH FORCE TRANSMITTED THROUGH SOUND AND SIGHT WHICH IS WHY WHAT IS HEARD OR SEEN CAN BE IMPRINTED ON THE MIND SO THAT THEY ARE HARD TO SHAKE OFF (EG A SONG OR TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE) AND UNFAILING RESULT IN STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AN DISTRACTION.
The throbbing persistent pain of an inflamed tooth or tumor is not a simple passive contact with an object that it might appear to be but it is contact with force, which is why it lingers and deforms the consciousness.
The inflamed tooth or tumor that is expanding in a finite space exert constant pressure or force on sensory nerve endings to cause a throbbing or excruciating pain that is unremitting. In other words the lingering pain of inflammation or malignancy is contact with constantly applied force acting through objects (namely inflamed tissue or tumor mass) not contact with an object.
Being hit by a moving car is not a case of contact with an object but contact with violent physical force in which the car is merely the intermediary. It is the violent kinetic energy or force that is causing the pain that lingers, not contact with the object itself. Subsequent tissue damage eg soft tissue swelling or broken bones may continue to exert pressure (also known as force) on sensory endings to cause pain that lingers and is constantly being renewed by persistent pressure.
When you scratch yourself it is not primarily a passive contact with an object, not even contact with force but scratching is contact with excessive force that is constantly accelerating and decelerating in strength and speed that exerts constantly changing force on the mind that is the reason why it lingers long after you stop scratching.
When you hear speech with constant forceful stretching of syllables, constant changes in speed and loudness, it is not passive contact with an object (sound) but it is a contact with force in which the sound is merely the conduit for the transmission of force. Because listening to a song or watching a show are contacts with excessive constantly changing in strength and speed force, they result in stress, restlessness and distraction that takes time to shake off. If the song was sung without added force, added constant forceful changes in speed and loudness (something that though possible is never heard on earth), there cannot be stress, restlessness and distraction afterwards because it is purely contact with object not force.
When you watch a footballer lunging into a tackle on TV, you may react in horror involuntarily because what you see is not visual contact with an object but visual contact with FORCE because your mind or consciousness can perceive the violent acceleration in strength of force and speed so that you automatically, virtually apply force on your mind to cause you to cringe.
CONSCIOUSNESS CAN ONLY MAKE CONTACT WITH OBJECTS OR FORCE THROUGH THE FIVE SENSES (SIGHT, SOUND, TOUCH, SMELL, TASTE).
CONTACT WITH FORCE THROUGH THE FIVE SENSES CAN BE DIRECT (EG A PUNCH WITH FIST IS ESSENTIALLY FORCE CONVEYED BY FIST) OR INDIRECT (CONSCIOUSNESS CAN EXPERIENCE CONTACT WITH FORCE BY SEEING POSTURE & MOTIONS, HEARING SOUNDS THAT HAVE CONSTANTLY CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH OF FORCE). CONSCIOUSNESS CAN IN ADDITION EXPERIENCE CONTACT WITH FORCE THROUGH THE CONSTANTLY CHANGING STRENGTH AND SPEED OF FORCE OF THE BEING’S OWN FABRICATIONS OR ACTIVITIES OF HIS MIND.
CONTACT WITH STATIONERY OBJECTS DOES NOT APPLY FORCE ON THE CONSCIOUSNESS AND THEREFORE PRODUCES ONLY PASSIVE FEELINGS OF PLEASANT, UNPLEASANT AND NEITHER NOR UNPLEASANT.
CONTACT WITH FORCE APPLIES DEFORMATION ON THE CONSCIOUSNESS TO PRODUCE EMOTIONAL PAIN, STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION THAT LINGERS LONG AFTER CONTACT AND WHEN REPEATED, WILL PROGRESSIVELY CONDITION OR WARP AND DEGRADE THE MIND SO THAT IT IS FINALLY SHATTERED.
CONTACT WITH FORCE CAN BE PHYSICAL (EG BEING SLAPPED) OR MENTAL (SAYING, DOING, THINKING AND PERCEIVING FORCEFULLY) BUT THE RESULT IN PAIN, STRESS & RESTLESSNESS IS THE SAME IN BOTH CASES.
The Difference Between Attraction & Aggression:
You can speak or do things in an emotional way that conveys attraction or repulsion or aggression to observers.
What is the secret in speaking or doing so?
When you want to demonstrate your liking to a person, you rush up to him and then as you approach him you slow down (so as not to knock him down) to embrace him ‘warmly’ hug him with a fabricated smile.
When you want to show you are angry with or hate a person you storm up to him with accelerated accelerating speed and force without stopping as if you are going to steamroll over him.
In the same way, in order to demonstrate attraction in your speech, you speak with gentle or rapid increase in speed and loudness that rapidly tapers off towards the end that gives the (false) impression you are attracted to him like iron filings to a magnet.
In order to express repulsion, you do not curtail the explosive rise in speed and loudness but you maintain the aggressively increasing speed and loudness right to the end of your sentence.
Just as you can turn your fabricated attraction outwardly on others, you can turn it inwardly on yourself as pride (when someone says something that flatter, you glower with pride or become forcefully attracted towards yourself). Similarly you can turn your aggressiveness on yourself as sadness or shame or anger.
It is because people have fabricated attraction and repulsion for so long so often even to intense levels that they are now seized to fabricate them when the triggering situation arise like Pavlov’s dog salivates at the sight of food that they now believe in delusion that they are like that, this is their personality and you should not accuse them of putting on a show. Indulge in yourself like this and you are headed for agony and even eternal perdition.
Thus the difference between attraction and aggression in speech is merely the style or how it is said and it is not free but much energy must be wasted to fabricate them.
Emotion As A Fabrication & Consciousness Experience:
There is emotion as a way of perceiving (eg seeing or smelling), thinking, speaking and doing something and there is emotion as an experience by consciousness.
There is emotion as an angry, hateful, fearful, greedy, excited way of seeing, thinking, saying and doing something. Depending on how excess force is applied to stretch syllables, change speed and strength of force (loudness), you say something in a different emotional way (eg angrily or mischievously).
There is emotion as a lingering painful, stressful, restless and distracting experience by consciousness as a result of the characteristic way force is applied on the consciousness by a particular emotion (eg anger) and the accompanying bodily reactions (muscle convulsions).
Activity Conducted By Force & Consciousness:
All activities the mind is capable of can either be conducted or determined by force or by consciousness.
In order for consciousness to be the conductor it must be present throughout the activity (speech or movement). Activities that have excessive force or have a simultaneous substance and style that both need monitoring by consciousness at the same time by consciousness cannot be conducted or presided over by consciousness.
Because the activities of all ordinary people have constant excessive force that is hard to control and an attention dividing substance and style it is not possible for consciousness to conduct them or preside over them but it is blind excessive force that once the sequence of speech or movement is triggered, powers them through and is hard and sometimes impossible to stop.
Only activities (speech or behavior) that are conducted by consciousness are fully intended and sincere. Activities that are conducted blindly by rote by force where consciousness may occasionally drop in are never fully intended or sincere.
All Forces Are Invisible But Can Be Felt:
All forces, be they mental or physical are invisible and cannot be directly felt.
When you feel the wind on your face you are feeling the effects of air molecules with kinetic energy hitting your face, not feeling the force.
When you see an object you are seeing light reflected off the object hitting your retina causing a chemical reaction that tells you what shape and color it is. When you see the beam of light of a cinema projector you are seeing the intense light scattered by particles in the air delineate the beam, not the light itself.
Physical forces cannot be seen or felt but their effects can be seen or felt. You cannot see electricity but you can see its effects in driving appliances.
In the same way you cannot see mental force, you cannot feel mental force but its effects through your fabrications or activities can be felt or seen.
Why Fabrication Always Precedes Consciousness:
You never become calm, clearly thinking (a consciousness state change) before you meditate (a fabrication or activity of the mind) but you must always meditate (a fabrication change from immersion in the world to seclusion) for a while before calm clear thinking (a consciousness change) settles in.
THEREFORE IN LINE WITH WHAT THE BUDDHA SAID, FROM FABRICATION CHANGE (FROM NOT MEDITATING TO MEDITATING) AS A REQUISITE COMES CONSCIOUSNESS CHANGE (FROM STRESSED, DISTRACTED RESTLESSNESS TO CALM FULLY COMPREHENDING CLEAR THINKING).
There is usually no one around to watch a TV if it is not switched on and even when it is on there may be no one watching it and it is only because a TV is on that there is an audience (endowed with consciousness) to watch it, change channels & adjust the controls (loudness, brightness). In the same way, it is because there is activity in a mind (fabrication) that consciousness is necessary, consciousness comes along to observe, conduct and adjust and even when there is activity, there may be recklessly no consciousness to observe or conduct it (just as a TV can be left on without an audience), just as a TV can have many active channels with different programs, the mind can have different activities with different programs (perceiving, thinking, speaking, doing). Just as you can only watch one channel at a time (you need a TV with two tuners to monitor another channel at the same time), consciousness can only attend to on activity at a time.
Why Ignorance Precedes Fabrication:
All ordinary people are selfish, they are attached to a self that have characteristics (body, feelings, emotions, views, possessions and affiliations) that when examined are false that they will defend and uphold at all cost and yet they are constantly going against themselves in whatever and however they perceive (see, hear, smell, taste & touch), think, speak and do in the name of deceiving, pleasing, impressing, intimidating and dominating others to create insoluble constant stress, restlessness and distraction that are slowly killing them.
If they know their fabrications (the way and what they perceive, think, speak and do) are killing them, are inimical to them who are so selfish, they would not do so and it is precisely because they are ignorant, they cannot see, do not realize they are their worse enemies that they fabricate thus and so the Buddha was spot on when he said that from ignorance as a requisite comes fabrications.
It is because people cannot see, do not pay attention, they are ignorant that there are constant stretching of their syllables, constant changes in speed and loudness and how they are the only and infallible causes of the stress, restlessness and distraction that detains them that they do so. Anyone who can truly see the stretching, changing in speed and loudness will know they are villains because they can experiment to compare the difference between stretching and not stretching, changing speed and loudness and not doing so. Thus it is as the Buddha said that from ignorance (that they are stretching, changing speed and loudness and how they cause stress, restlessness and distraction) as a requisite comes fabrications (stretching syllables, changing speed and loudness).
The wise are not selfish, not attached to a self but they never go against themselves to act or fabricate in a way that harms themselves, create stress, restlessness and distraction for themselves and others. As the Buddha said, from the cessation of ignorance (that the way they act is killing themselves and others) comes the cessation of fabricating (acting forcefully with constant stretching, changes in speed and loudness).
Why What The Buddha Said Applies To You:
So long as you don’t know who you are or why you are here (ignorant), you fabricate (you have a mind that has mental activities) and have consciousness (it does not matter if God or others have no consciousness or fabrications), what the Buddha said applies to you even if it does not applies to others or God.
And what did the Buddha say that applies with you who do not know who you are, why you are here, who fabricates and has consciousness? It is:
From the cessation of ignorance (that you are hurting yourself gravely with your substance and style forceful fabricating) comes the cessation of fabrications (activities of the mind that can only be perceiving, thinking, conducting speech and motion).
From the cessation of fabrications comes the cessation of consciousness (if there is nothing on the TV there is no need for consciousness to attend to see what is going on).
From the cessation of consciousness comes the cessation of name-and-form (physical objects or this world cannot exist for you without consciousness).
From the cessation of name-and-form comes the cessation of the six sense media.From the cessation of the six sense media comes the cessation of contact.
From the cessation of contact comes the cessation of feeling.
From the cessation of feeling comes the cessation of craving.
From the cessation of craving comes the cessation of clinging/sustenance.
From the cessation of clinging/sustenance comes the cessation of becoming.From the cessation of becoming comes the cessation of birth.
From the cessation of birth, then old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, and despair all cease. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of stress and suffering.

Refuse to stop fabricating or continue to not know that you are fabricating and you will be detained in consciousness that leads to continued birth and endless suffering that can reach excruciating levels not pleasure.
The recent consciousness changes that are visible in the demeanor of everyone is proof that what the Buddha said that from fabrication as a requisite comes consciousness is correct and universally applicable.
When I set out to change my behavior in recent years I had no idea it would lead to a consciousness change in myself let alone everyone else. I steadfastly worked to eliminate all stress by meditating regularly to calm myself whenever I am stressed, to stop smiling to please others, stop stretching syllables, changing speed and loudness when speaking. It was only after much consolidation, when my ability not to smile, not to stretch syllables, not change speed and loudness when provoked was quite assured that I began to realize that a calm clearly thinking permanent consciousness change had occurred; emotions like fear, sadness, anger, greed and lust were two dimensional shadows of the past. I then realized increasingly that everyone else was also changing.
Therefore based on my personal experience, my previously inconceivable alleviating consciousness change was definitely the unexpected result of a fabricating or behavioral change not a consciousness change giving rise to a fabricating or behavioral change and this is line with what the Buddha said that since consciousness comes from fabricating, you should expect a consciousness change from a fabrication (behavior) change.
Be Careful What You Ask Others To Admire:
Quote: You have to admire the artistry that went into creating this loophole in loophole-closing legislation, and then structuring a deal to utilize it.
Comment: If you have earlier criticized the tax dodging involved you cannot honestly admire the artistry (I don’t think there was any artistry but it was cunning, artistry is basically about style or false) that went into tax dodging unless it is to impress others with your fabricated fairness or ‘seeing credit where credit is due’ or unless you want to generate unconscious conflict in yourself that you do not realize will lead to final insanity. Not only are you expressing admiration that you do not realize cannot be truly sincere or is generating conflict in you but you are telling others what has happened is admirable so that those who love to be admired might be tempted to learn to behave in the way you said is admirable. You think you are meritorious but you are heaping grave karma on yourself.
I do not approve of tax dodging schemes nor do I admire or tell others to admire the artistry involved and so should woe befall you in admiring such artistry you cannot blame me. My attitude is consistent, I do not induce conflict in me by not criticizing tax dodging and yet admire the artistry involved.

If others know, as you said they know (you know), what is the point in telling them that you haven’t the vaguest idea? If you want them to know you haven’t the vaguest idea then you should “I want you to know” not “you know”. A lot of people do not realize they have an appointment with mad or uncontrollable false logic, including those who speak like Rumsfeld and those who uphold what he says as OK.
Rumsfeld: "Well, you know, this (calls for his resignation), too, will pass."
Comment: If the listener knows, what is the point of talking about it? It is obvious that everything will pass so it is all style not substance to say so but ask him if what he said is nonsense and he is likely to take offence implying he and cohorts believe what is said is full of meaning when it is much ado about nothing.
What he actually wants to say is perhaps that “I shall not be moved”, not this too will pass. If he and you think that ‘this too will pass” is the same as “I shall not be moved” you may have mad logic heading for loss of control and insanity later.
Jesus said the counselor will teach you all things. Have I not taught you many things that no ordinary man will teach you? What I say above will fall on many deaf ears that will hear but not understand not realizing that as Jesus said, 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but when it falls on any one, it will crush him."
If I have taught you many things that no one else will teach you, if I have in addition caused the consciousness state to change not once but twice and there can be no greater advantage to everyone than to have their woeful consciousness states elevated (Jesus says the coming of the counselor is to your advantage), if I have convinced you of sin, righteousness and judgment as Jesus said the counselor will (the faked live way with which people behave from mental jukebox that have the constant stretching, changes of speed and loudness creates stress, restlessness and distraction that maintain themselves and others in suffering and will end in mad stress, restlessness, distress, mad violence, jukebox behavior, mad emotions, mad hallucinations) then whoever is the counselor cannot do the things I have already done and I would have proven Jesus wrong because someone else other than the counselor can do what he said the counselor will do.
Proof That Intelligent People Are Undiscerning:
It is actually proof that even those who call themselves intelligent (which is merely superior mechanical memorizing and retrieving to apply) have poor discernment; they do not (passively, in focus) see things as they are that they have read even many times the scriptures and all failed to perceive as it is actually present that Jesus was predicting the arrival of another counselor in the future just as he came.
How many if any realized Jesus was speaking of the future coming of a counselor?
Jesus: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor (like Jesus came), to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive (to receive is to welcome, the world will not welcome the counselor as they welcomed in a misguided way Jesus and the Buddha), because it neither sees (can visually recognize who he is) him nor knows him (have not been told by others or can work out themselves); you know him (you can work out who he is), for he dwells with you (he literally will live in this world with you. If the counselor is a mental entity in your mind and you still need Jesus to tell you he dwells with you, he must be very elusive or false), and will be in you. "These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit (The counselor is the Holy Spirit), whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things (he will cover a broad range of subjects), and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you (if the church has brought you remembrance of what Jesus taught, there would be no need for a counselor to come).But when the Counselor comes (he will not come immediately), whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father (If you knew the counselor comes from the Father Jesus would not have to say so), he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning. But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. (The counselor must irrefutably bring you advantage as no man has done)And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness (goodness) and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. (When the counselor comes, it will be time for mankind to be judged)"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear (sustain, not understand) them now. (Jesus appears to speak of a consciousness change that wil make you able to bear) When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth (there are other sources of truth); for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak (if the counselor knows everything, he will not need to hear and then speak) and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you (if the church and Christians have glorified Jesus, there would be no need for a counselor to do so.
