How many more pills do you need to take to get through this...😉

Douglas Brown4 said:Yes, dear. But in that case, you wouldn't write 2=0; you would write p+q=0 or A+(-A)=0.
It’s much clearer that way. The number two doesn't describe the quality of those opposites, but rather the cardinal number of the set containing them.
There are two opposites, which makes them two, not zero. However, the resultant of their actions (the sum of their qualities) equals zero.
You are being imprecise, perhaps because you struggle with logic. That is your issue, though I suppose it isn't a massive one.
My issue—and the issue for all these aimless "spiritualists"—is that they support such confused reasoning. I guess in New Age circles, it's common to babble without actually thinking about what is being said. Don't take this the wrong way: it's not that you are babbling. You simply don't know. It is those who fail to realize you don't know who are doing the babbling.

Regarding the "both have fallen" part, I assume the only person here acting like a real squad leader on an M1A2 Abrams is the one who wrote the message you are currently reading.

Look at you, commander... serving in the US Army... 🤣🤣

That’s just some methodology you’re using to hide behind... 😬 like a cloud of vapor obscuring the sky. 2=0. 👍😍

Karen Sanchez19 said:but since we're dividing things into an infinite number of segments: the time required to cross one of those infinitely small segments APPROACHES ZERO😉 😁

I honestly don't see what part of this is hard to figure out. Two opposing forces cancel out to zero.
Two identical forces also equal zero. In fact, both scenarios just result in zero. 😍👍
Both sides collapsed. Don't you people realize that? 😍🤣🤣=0

I’m asking you nicely, Mr. Weather Forecaster... where exactly isn't there a goose? 👍😍

Bela Hamvas said:Ever since Aristotle, identity has been treated as a logical problem, when in its ultimate sense, it’s actually metaphysical rather than logical. Identity isn't just about A equaling A—it’s not simply that everything is equal to itself. That specific way of looking at it isn't metaphysical, but it isn't purely logical either; because we're talking about equality, it's mathematical. There are three ways to interpret the thesis of identity: mathematically, logically, and metaphysically. The first two are just narrow versions of the metaphysical truth. If you view the thesis of identity as a logical one, it becomes a tautology. In logic and math, the identity thesis serves as the foundation for all rational operations. But in metaphysics, it isn't just a formal thesis; it's an axiom stating that existence is identical within everything that exists.

😉
but you shouldn't go looking for those answers in philosophy... 👍 if I slice an apple right down the middle, then suddenly 2 equals 0 👍...

Brenda Cook4 said:Buddha koans really are a fantastic way to give your brain a bit of a "stretch" in a totally different direction.

Beyond just focusing directly on the koan itself—you have to let it go. Think of it like dropping a pebble into a pond; you let it sink into your subconscious and just settle there for a while... letting it shift around until we see what eventually surfaces.

Every answer carries its own weight...

Take this specific goose koan, for example: nobody actually specified what kind of bottle we're talking about. For all we know, it could be a rubber bottle😁 that’s incredibly stretchy... whatever... though personally, I find the most compelling part (as I've mentioned before) is how much it comes down to pure perception...😁

even if the bottle is just an ordinary glass one. 😉
but essentially, the koan asks: where is the goose? 👍

See, you actually get it. 😬 Now put that knowledge to work... 👍

Direct insight from a channel is basically called upskirting. 😈

What's wrong with an upskirt shot? 🙂

You know what magic is? 😬 It’s just a literary cliché.
You know what Buddha is? 😬 Another literary cliché.
So then, what does 2=0 actually mean? 😬

2 ways to perceive things:
1 direct insight
2 direct insight through a 'channel.' 👍

but a channel isn't quite the same as American "channeling," though it kind of is... 👍

George Carlin said:You never see a positive drugs story on CNN, do ya? No. Always negative. But the news is supposed to be objective. I mean, isn't it supposed to be THE NEWS? But every drug story is negative? Hold it! I've had some killer times on drugs! I'm not promoting it, but I'm not denying it. Let's hear the whole fucking story...

Same LSD story every time: "Young man on acid, thought he could fly jumped out of a building, what a tragedy." What a dick! He's an idiot. If he thought he could fly, why didn't he take off from the ground and check it out first? What a moron. You don't see ducks lined up to catch elevators to fly south. What a moron! Good, he's dead. We lost moron. (sobbing) WE LOST A MORON!!! How am I gonna sleep through the night? I don't don't mean to sound cold or cruel...
But wouldn't you like to see a positive LSD story? Would that be newsworthy? Just once, to hear what it's all about:

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death. Life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

At that specific point, you're looking at the relationship between a cobra and a dog.
And that’s been the case up until this very day—the only actual system of state and media control we have left. ☕
The cult of the Virgin Mary tried to wipe this out, but instead, they just ended up dragging it along into the modern era... 😍
But how do you actually dismantle the Madonna when she's the one calling the shots over the dogs and the natural cycles during spring and July? 😍

and so on

You're looking at decorations instead of symbols, you idiot... ☕

Austin Hayes66 said:The media's whole game is just infantilizing men and turning women into mothers...

Does that clear things up for you, Karen Sanchez19? You actually have to pay attention and read what's right in front of you... 😍

Maybe you could dig through some sociology textbook or even look at a volume on the Jung family symbols to get a better idea of what's really going on here... 😂😂😂

grizli said:there's a few different angles to what the movie is getting at:

The snake

idolatry
women...and so on...

Nah, grizli is just aiming for one single thing in this film, one thing and two snakes. 👍
