You think TM is in the Buddhist sarvakarajnata tradition?

You said "It is used as calculated\calculator organic environment, and used as needed."What example?
On = 1,2,3,9,24,76,236,... is not important anymore !!

You can't get to infinity from local objects.
You have to begin the other way, from Non-Locality, from infinity back to the finite.
It has seemed to me for some time that the 'Direct Perception' idea has been lifted from Eastern philosophies of completeness and holism - the sarvakarajnata (the quality of knowing things as they are) of Buddhism seems a particularly close match.
I have been wondering why Doron hasn't made any reference to these roots.
Moshe 1,2,3,9,24,76,236,... was never important.
Aphatia,
I send you my love.

Direct Perception training analogy:
There is a technique to get a stable color of a cloth.
It goes like this:
We have a white cloth.
Let us say that we wish to get an orange cloth, so in order to get it
we repeat on these steps:
1) We take the cloth and dipping it in orange color.
2) We take the cloth and expose it to any possible weather conditions like sun light, wind, rain, snow, whatever …
3) As a result most of the orange color is washed out from the cloth, but we take it and return to step 1.
After several loops we get a colored stable orange cloth.
So is the case of Direct perception awareness.
During an appropriate training we are able to be Direct perception awareness beside any possible mental activity, such that no mental activity blocks Direct perception awareness in our daily life.
Do you really want to claim here that x^(log) <> y^(log(x)) ?
MosheKlein, you established the initial context for your @ operator. You presented as "the next level" above addition and multiplication within the normal arithmetic of real numbers. You claimed to have a full hierarchy of operators that would be commutative, associative, and be distributive over the next lower level in the operator hierarchy.
Well, as a general statement of that normal arithmetic, X^(log Y) and Y^(log X) are not equivalent.
Well that would be an ordering distinction and although one can claim them as distinct, since they are distinctions of order, often such distinctions do not result in any definable difference other then simply that distinction of ordering. If one can divide infinity into infinitely many finite elements then infinitely many finite elements likewise establish infinity. It is the yin and yang of things as we discussed on that other Doron thread Apathia. Infinity gains its ‘non-locality’ from finite locations and finite locations gain that ascription from infinity. Although somewhat distinct they are still based on each other thus mutually dependent. Inferring that non-locality leads to locality and not visa versa denies that very interdependence and thus gives no basis to claim that non-locality leads to locality. Doron has often referred to this by his contradictory misconstruing of the phrase ‘mutually independent’ to mean aspects that are independent but at the same time not independent. Although completely off base on the phrase ‘mutually independent’ it is fairly well descriptive of the concept of yin and yang, where they are essentially independent yet each has the other at its origin.
The Man said:Inferring that non-locality leads to locality and not visa versa denies that very interdependence and thus gives no basis to claim that non-locality leads to locality.
Aphatia said:The concepts of Local and Non-Local, and Finite and Infinite are mutually dependent.
You are doing it right now.
Yes,
I haven't changed my view about this.
The concepts of Local and Non-Local, and Finite and Infinite are mutually dependent.
And it wouldn't necessarily spoil Dioron's intended mesh to agknowledge that.
It seem to me that where he's coming from with that is "Non-Locality" stands for the state of consciouness I was describing at the beginning of Post 5003. And "Locality" stands for Object Consciouness.
These are distinct ways of seeing, so Doron holds the metaphorical terms he uses for them as distinct concepts.
Of course in "Samadhi" there are no concepts.
In the Buddhist Tradition (More or less. The land of Buddhism has varied terrain.), all states of consciouness arise in mutual dependence.
A state of consciouness is not reality in itself but just another panorama of apperance.
Perhaps not oddly, these mystical discussions do have a lot to do with the subject of mathematical infinity.
I"ll be getting back to that!
Well unfortunately for Doron such an acknowledgement is contradictory
Requiring the audience to figure out for themselves and thereby giving them some personal investment of their own in the outcome.
If "leads" means that Non-locality and Locality are actually transformed to each other, then NO, Non-locality does not lead to Locality and Locality does not leads to Non-locality.
If "leads" means that Non-locality and Locality are not transformed to each other, then YES, Non-locality leads to Locality and Locality leads to Non-locality.
If Locality leads to Non-locality, the result is a superposition of ids.
If Non-locality leads to Locality, the result is clear ids.
It must be stressed that Non-locality and Locality are the simplest expression of direct perception, and at the level of direct perception itself there is no duality of any kind (relative or absolute).
Yet in spite of those slaps in the face you come back again and again with a new variant on your interpretation.
No, not like you, Aphatia perfectly expressed it in http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4895936&postcount=5003 where he clearly explains what direct perception is.
So your reply about aphatia is not relevant.
Well unfortunately………. OM-zombie!!!!!!!!!
