Exploring fear

What do you think that means about your relationship with language and with context?

It seems to me that within, the speaker before language is created meaning is already there and with the receiver the meaning is given after the word is heard or read.

It seems like quantum leaps between different possible meanings.

Context and language are apparently subordinate to meaning, at least that is my preliminary take on it.

And what do you make of the fact that these linguistic events have been occurring more and more for you lately? Are contexts less exclusive/separate for you than they used to be?

The third… non-duality
(which does not mean that subject and object are unified, nor that they are one).

So does meaning rely on language?
How did the speaker get the meaning before speaking?

My “speech” answers your question.

I don’t know what you’re referring to, but if it’s something you’re seeing in this forum, be specific and show an example of “taking a specific word or phrase out of context and placing it in another which gives that one word a totally different meaning”.

“Is the “I” watching, exploring, accepting the self = the self being watched, explored, accepted?”

and you replied:
“What do I see when I watches I?”:

so the words " see" and “watches” must have been the trigger for my reply:

“When i see watches i realize i don’t need them i’m always in time.”

is that clear now?

Honestly, I haven’t wondered about that yet!
Maybe there is a thread loose,
but that does not explain the clear response that is also obvious to anyone.
Perhaps it is simply an expression of the relativity of the before as well as the response, I just don’t know.

Yes, thanks for clearing that up. What didn’t make sense is your rearranging of the words. I never said, “I see watches”.

I never said you did.

Beautiful! … Now, it would be even more beautiful if you could please write/say the same thing in plain English so that everyone here (including myself) can understand what you mean. Thank you! :pray:

Danger is death. Why can’t you understand a simple thing on your own? Why you ask what is danger. It is simple.

So danger is death according to you, is it not? … Well, maybe it is for all those who fear death, whether psychological, physical or both. But some walk off a cliff with no problem, while others don’t even come close. Some fear being nobody, while others don’t care in the least. So if danger is death according to you, why doesn’t everyone see death (whether physical, psychological, or both) in the same place?

So if I may and if you let me, I’ll ask again: what is danger?


BTW, if you don’t mind, could you please clarify what exactly you mean when you ask me…

Danger is a snake on the road. If man is not afraid of it and not step aside he will die because of the poison. Danger is death definitely.

So you’re only afraid of death, right? … that’s what makes you think that the snake will attack you if you pass by it, and that no matter if it’s poisonous or not, you will definitely die from its venom if it bites you.

So you see, you are only afraid of death, not the snake. If I may ask you, how many other things in life do you turn away from because your (conditioned?) thinking considers them to be dangerous?

So danger is not death, as you say, but our fear of dying, both psychologically and physically. That fear is what creates all the chaos and confusion in the world.

You too clever. Be simple. We all afraid to die. Those who does not afraid to die are insane and something wrong with their head.

In other words, you are participating in a forum related to a person you consider “insane and something wrong with his head”.

Mmm, pretty interesting! :ok_hand:

Sorry to butt in but I don’t think anyone here has been accused of fearlessness.

Helen88, like anyone else, is innocent until guilt has been demonstrated.

Please be kind - some of us might be living in dangerous, stressful, situations already, and need no further violence inflicted upon them.

I’m really sorry, but I don’t quite understand exactly what you mean by this, Mac. So if you don’t mind, could you please clarify it for me?

Thanks! :pray:
