How to deal with a paradox.



How does the mind stop judging when it must judge itself to do so? This statement is paradoxical in nature and therefore difficult for the mind to comprehend. The question can be extrapolated into a simpler form and that is, how does the mind comprehend the infinite? This question becomes poignant when you consider the obtuse nature of are social zeitgeist.

If the mind is to be free then the mind must be able to solve the problems it creates. If this is so what is the process the mind can use to overcome this self propelling conundrum? Well the mind must forgive itself for all its past indiscretions, this creates a clean slate for the mind to build a new logical platform of thinking.

Then the mind must realise its own limitations and except that some thought processes are limited. In effect the mind watches itself and when it identifies a thought process that has an illogical outcome, it then negates that thought and does not act upon it. As for the problem of the infinite the mind can now realise it is apart of all things engulfing its limited perspective of self. This is the theory of one which I will discuss in my next post.

What is Talent?


My Theory is as follows.
If the mind concedes that it can perceive talent either externally or internally, then the mind must also concede that it can perceive what it is to be un-talented. Therefore the mind must concede it is merely a scale of judgement.

If talent is a scale of judgement then it is a matter of perspective, as only the mind that perceives will be able to exact the correct amount of judgement adequate for the talent seen from its perspective.

This however leads to disagreement as perspective is dynamic. One might argue that they have just seen a talented action, but another witness might argue that the action was not talented at all. This is because they both have different perspectives. They both judge talent differently.

So the mind must concede that talent is indeed a matter of opinion. In fact the mind can perceive all systems of judgment to be a matter of opinion. Further more to disagree with this statement will actually prove the point, as this theory is coming from my perspective.

So if all systems of judgement be they of talent or not are perspective related and therefore argumentative, then what is the point of talent if it creates incongruous behaviour. So the question becomes not what is talent?, but why is there talent?

So talent exists merely as a lesson in perspective? In essence to teach that perspective is fragmentary and incongruous. When the mind can view without perspective it can then view everything as a whole. That means it is in harmony with everything and not trapped within itself. It is free to create and explore all.

This however leads to a paradoxical question because in order for the mind to stop judging it must judge itself. And this is a question I will answer in my next post.
