No such thing as...

Consider everything aka the ONEness of ALL aka energy as the base for every transmutation within. Next consider if "no such thing" implies the choice within everything to ignore it for suggested nothing by the choice of others? Ask yourself...can one within all perceive nothingness; when perception implies response to input?

They're hallucinatory reactions to standing waves in a fluid medium.

• HALLUCINA'TION, noun [Latin hallucinatio, from hallucinor, to blunder.] - "error; blunder; mistake" + ER'ROR, noun [Latin error from erro, to wander.]

Standing waves represent form within the medium; from medius - "middle" (momentum) of fluid flow. Reaction as form to flow represents wandering aka hallucination). It's the suggested terms "hallucination and error" that we are told to believe represents mistake; false; which is based on the suggested inversion of reality aka seeking order out of chaos; while ignoring that temporary form (life) represents chaos out of the natural order of ongoing flow (inception towards death).

Ongoing velocity (loss) represents order; temporary resistance within (growth) represents chaos...which is why life struggles to stay within form; while being moved by flow towards death (transmutation back to base).

The real reality doesn't have a soundtrack. Doesn't have colour either, because that's just a wavelength.

Consider fiction representing the choice to ignore perceived reality (inspiration) for suggested fiction (information); which is being upheld within conscious memory; causing stagnation within a system based on adaption (balance/choice)?

Soundtrack represents a suggested allegory for track (impression by movement) representing the source of sound for all the ones within. How do you corrupt understanding of being within the track that offers sound? By suggesting them to consent to you as the source for suggested soundtracks.

Lastly...the "real reality" implies the distinction between perceived reality (form) and comprehended real reality (flow). What's lacking is understanding of ones perspective as form within flow aka within the balance of motion (momentum). What you perceive (sound; light etc.) and your comprehension of what it really is (energy in motion)...you need to balance them.

The majority is tempted to ignore comprehended reality (samsara; be in this world; not of it; asleep within the matrix etc.); yet those who comprehend more are also tempted to ignore perceived reality (nirvana; meditation; drugs etc.). The ONEness of ALL represents energy; which the ONEs (form) within ALL (flow) can comprehend; yet energy processes flow/form for loss/growth aka internal balance aka self sustenance; which in return causes each ONE within ALL to have a response-ability of choice within balance.

Therefore...adaption to perceived reality grows comprehension of the real reality. Conscious participation as ONE within ALL can only exist within the ever changing moment(um) of balance; caused by the natural order. In other words...what your senses perceive represents the self differentiation of energy to inspire growth of potential (ONEs form) out of loss of potentiality (ALL flow).

The thing is, most people see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and so they've allowed themselves to become convinced that the world they inhabit really is one of thousands of sounds, and tens of thousands of colours.

Lack of comprehension caused by choice based response to balance aka want (from within form) over need (from within spirit) aka suggested information over perceived inspiration. The temptation we fall for is to believe that we respond to form creation; when its about transmuting out of base for the sustenance of self.

Example...the LEGOs you build are irrelevant; only the aspect of building aka your formed adaptation to flow is what sustains matter (form). Meanwhile; what you build (information) tempts you and others to want to hold onto it; which ignores that you don't need it for self sustenance; what you need is to adapt to inspiration aka to resonate with communicated movement.

Sounds are enticing; colors are pretty (wanted temptations); yet what one needs is the differentiated inspiration they represent. Adaptation to perceived differences grows comprehension of sameness.

All that is perceived is akin to the ripples on the water's surface. Indictative, perhaps, of the river's currents or motions. How then, does one respond to any of it?

Indicative aka IN'DICATE, verb transitive [Latin indico; in and dico, to show.] implies perceived inspiration as form out of flow. This is what one needs to adapt to; instead of falling for the temptation of others suggesting us what the indicated means (information).

Look at tadpoles within currents; who struggle within momentum for growth; usually while utilizing stones or side-currents to keep momentum aka to not be flushed away by the velocity of flow aka resistance within momentum for growth of form within flow. Believing this suggested information doesn't represents comprehending it for oneself by adaptation to perceived inspiration.

A great starting point is simple to take any object and start a list "what can I do with this object?" Fill it daily for 20 minutes or so and you will teach/learn yourself that you will never run our of inspiration to draw from that one object. Why? Because a) ALL is ONE in energy and b) the list represents your growth of comprehension thereof. You increased your potential by utilizing adaptation to inspiration from one object...now branch your perspective out into ALL perceivable reality (ripples on the surface) and understand that you can never run out of inspiration to grow from. The only limitations are you (temporary form within ongoing flow) and your choice of ignorance (want over need).

The foolish man would laugh, because to him we're going to seem like two drug-enthusiasts having a rambling and largely senseless conversation about rivers and flow.

Foolish implies suggesting judgement as information upon and towards others. It corrupts both perceived inspiration as the means to grow and it tempts others to defend/attack the judgemental suggestion. For ones choice; every other one represents inspiration (need) and temptation (want)...both simultaneously as the value within balance for the evaluating choice.

Question if ignorance (want or not want) tempts insolence within others?

As for CONVERSATION, noun - "intercourse of sentiments" aka internal exchange of external input aka information suggested of inspiration perceived. Does one need to do that or is one tempted to want to do that? Doesn't seeking agreement with others imply reasoning (want vs not want) over disagreements?

What if choice doesn't require the conflict of agreement vs disagreement with other choice (dissonance); but only to respond as individual choice to collective balance (resonance). Take suggested words out and ask yourself how we would reason about disagreements without the idolization of meaning through suggested words? How to hold grudges without thinking in consented to languages?

What if spell-craft (suggested words as idols of meaning) are not only domesticating ones free will of choice; but also causing the mental self corruption of the ego aka an internal monologue about upheld meaning; suggested as words by others? How much external need for adaptation is being corrupted by the self imposed internal temptation of the ego aka the internal conflict of reasoning about wanting vs not wanting to adapt to both suggested (information) and perceived (inspiration)?

The ordinary man would put on his reading glasses and pour through the text. He'd understand maybe about a third of it and pretend to understand another fifth.

The suggested immovable surface information; that deceives the reader to ignore the moving inspiration underneath; while also tricking him to consent to give the one suggesting it the power to define it at will. Whatever one consents to read was suggested "in nomine" by a substitute author who hides perceived inspiration under suggested information. Flow represents the author of all form within; form represents the authorized choice to respond or ignore it.

Understanding aka comprehension aka intelligence originates from adaptation to knowledge aka perception..not through suggestion. What we are tempted to try to understand is the suggested information from the author of the book; which represents a want based choice tempting us to want more; while making the idol a best-selling author; which simply represents cult of personality; which can be both the author and the suggested information (words); hence personality; persona; per sonos...by sound.

Another issue here is one trying to understand all; which ignores being a differentiated ONE (potential) within the same ALL (potentiality). We are tempted to want to unlock understanding (outcome); while ignoring the growth of understanding (balance within momentum). It is the want that tempts us to consent to suggested information by others aka the fictitious shortcut for understanding, and of course the parasites are branding the suggested information "knowledge"; hence positioning themselves as the suggesting source of all knowledge; while those who consent are ignoring the perceived source of ALL knowledge for each ONE within.

He'd put all that he needs from it into practice immediately, and discard the rest without hesitation.

Yet; is he tempted to then seek for more needs within the next suggested book? Was the book full of suggested information ever needed? As for discarding...consider not just physically; but also mentally clearing the cache of all the suggested information you dived through for the crumbs of inspiration. What if that's way more of a struggle than physically throwing the book away; and what if that unwanted information keeps accumulating within your memory?

What I'm getting at is that letting go and you'll receive represents resistance towards suggested information opens up access to perceived inspiration by unleashing the consciousness from self imposed restrictions.

And the wise man, well, he's probably not on internet messageboards to begin with, being instead at the top of a mountain, cross-legged and meditating like the wise hermit he is.

What's the difference between one wanting to distance oneself from others on a mountain; and one not wanting to distance oneself from others; yet lacking to understand that sitting in-front of suggested fiction; while ignoring perceived reality represents just that?

Both the hermit and the transhumanism victim who consents to suggested 0 (fiction) over perceived 1 (reality) are ignoring balance; both are falling for suggested escapism...one physically; one mentally.

It's funny to me that people think enlightenment is found on mountaintops and not, say, behind the sofa cushions. I found mine in a hedgerow, and I was only in there because somebody had physically thrown me there.

The mountaintop; the cushions and the hedgerow represent suggested goals to find enlightenment; yet where did you find it....in the moment; where imbalance (want) inspires choice to resonate with balance (need) If you climb the next mountain; dive for nickels between the cushions or jump into the next hedge; you won't find again; because you're looking for something you want; while ignoring to adapt to what's needed. So many get hooked on "enlightenment"; to then fall for the temptation to attempt to recreate and to capture the moment; while ignoring the implied momentum.

suggested information (in the form of words) is a kind of magic

MAG'IC, noun [Latin magia] - "putting into action the power of spirits" aka using inspiration to shape suggestible information.
