[MD] Zen, Quiet Woods, Art, Analogies, and Crickets

[Heather Perella]

     I've been listening on and off to some of the Buddhist Greeks podcasts, which the link has been provided in this forum.  Here's one I'd like to share that struck a cord with me.  Notice the discussion of art brings up woods, nature, spontaneity, morals, wildness and such, of course, some of my favorite topics which also include code of art, quiet woods, morals, spirit, and so on.  These are analogized and harmonized with such beautiful comments at this link:

P.S.  By the way, I've noticed that there is not only deduction, induction, and abduction in understanding ways of reasoning, but also this wikipedia link discusses another form of logic called analogy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogy

      The moral description on this cite of analogy brings up an interesting concept/field called moral particularism.  This rejects generalized moral principles, which this concept/field argues that moral principles are more detailed to direct experiences or daily events (thus, rejects absolute moral codes, which is another reason I find the four levels to be not only static but dynamic, for the moral static levels are outlined while at the same time there endurance will be found in their ability to change and dynamically defined).  Betterness is an moq moral principle, but in light of dq, this is why intellectual concepts will juggle due to the wildness of daily changes, not only in culture, but in the world where morals are to be established and yes turned into principles but this concept argues these moral principles are analogies that are created with the moment and subject to change depending on circumstances.

     Also, since I find my explanation to be the same analogy that a rock can give and thus the same Understanding can be realized by human analogy or rock analogy (a real time rock analogizes this Understanding); one could experience either and come to the same Understanding, for I find the art a human provides and the art a rock provides to be analogizes that nicely beautify Ultimate Reality.  Ultimate Reality is thus Understood by the story of human, rock, tree, or bird, etc...  The Song of the Universe rattles on about Ultimate Reality, therefore, crickets, explain away as I humbly bow to listen and experience your analogies about this Ultimate Reality.  This is a quality event, that as noted, humans give, but as said, these crickets will also share as tonight's summer music.

     I'm caught up in other activities, but I think about everybody here and the value of events discussed here.  This forum has been a big part of my life for years.  It is time I relax my posts for some time now.  I will have thoughts I will want to share, and I probably will every once in a while.  It is difficult to summarize my experience here and the difficulty in letting this go for I've contributed much in these past years.  I find this difficulty in letting go, a sign though, of a need to let go for considerations that are dynamic.


Thanks to everybody!  


peace,
