Do We Feel Productive?
Productivity is a big concern in the real world, is it not? Have any of you had a day where you did absolutely nothing? Really? Tell me how this was possible? Define “doing nothing”? Literally nothing. Think nothing. Do nothing. Not change in any way. Literally nothing? Not since between incarnations. I would debate even…

Engaged In Life
We are creative and expressive beings, living paradoxes if you will. I live by an old eastern saying, “Nothing is true, everything is permitted.” This relates very much to productivity, I feel. Anyone see how? Perhaps let’s examine the precept a portion at a time. It is very old. First the statement that nothing is…

Purpose of Cognition
What is the purpose of cognition? It’s properly subordinate to perception, and perception is structured well before even your basic individual gene sequencing happens. It‘s structured at a quantum level. At the range of the “PSI” factor, and I mean PSI factor in the original quantum mechanical sense. The tendency of any set of bodies…

Willingness To Engage
A right level of productivity is measured by having a good feeling of engagement in life. An instinctive sense of “fullness” and a sense of continued willingness to engage. Even rejecting a metaphysical explanation, the body has an awareness of whether or not it’s operating at its full capacity. I’m thinking of times when I…

Understanding A Dynamic
The topic is productivity. We tend to be very concerned with productivity, don’t we? Even if you aren’t employed? It’s a convoluted idea, this productivity. Have any of you spent a day doing literally nothing ever? Everything gets done always, but no one needs to do it. That’s the issue with productivity. As we live…

Impulse Originates Thought
Have any of you ever had a day when you had no impulse to do anything at all that day? Have any of you had a day where you had no impulse to act? Are you saying that a day spent doing nothing is a day well spent? Yes, and I’m also saying that when…

We All Belong
Desire forms are “emotional” forms, and in my opinion not the same as thought forms. Emotional forms are closer to Plato’s first forms, though there are forms that precede emotion. Do you all feel satisfied with your level of self expression in your lives? I offer you can be satisfied. Your very being will know…

Being Is Productive
Empathy. Awareness of feeling. I am open to feeling, so I don’t have to own another persons feeling. They can have what they feel and I can offer my presence. If the person is encumbered by their feelings, they can become free in the same way, by being open to what they feel and open…
Category: Productivity
Do you feel productive today? There is that question of if we are productive enough, but the only reality behind that is the measure to which we are satisfied or frustrated with our activities. Part of you knows that if you aren’t engaged in the life process you aren’t being “productive/reproductive”. Basically you risk death, even if only spiritual. Everything is productive to the degree that it permits the wellbeing of the life form. Be fertile, be reproductive, be productive, be alive. How is that for a to-do list? Get that done and I feel you will have been productive enough. What about you?
“As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit.” Seneca (Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD)
“The desire to create continually is vulgar and betrays jealousy, envy, ambition. If one is something one really does not need to make anything -and one nonetheless does very much. There exists above the ”productive” man a yet higher species.” Friedrich Nietzsche (German classical Scholar, Philosopher and Critic of culture, 1844-1900.)
