Semester End.

I have decided to clean... when I say clean not just your average vacuum and dust. The type of clean where you have three or four trash bags for good will and 2 for the bin men to pick up. I have way too much stuff all clutter and papers that I even forget why am I holding on to them so I will be throwing them away.

I also have decided to answer some questions that came up in PACS that I have not really fully been able to answer. There was one I cant really remember what the real question was it was something about meditation. Thats all I know so if you could help. with what is was I will answer it. I am seriously thinking about ditching the other blogs and just cocentrating on this one for the time being. Its more fun to ponder sometimes.

Well back to the pile of stuff to organize for good will or the bin men!!!
Whoa I sound british now eeks!

On Modalities

In our class on Wednesday the questions were put up on the board. Are thoughts a type of action? Are they any actions neither philosophical nor artistic, not crafty or scientific?



No there are not any actions that don’t fall into at least one of these categories of PACS. I would assume that yes thoughts are a form of action because thought is a form of Philosophy and scientific research.



With the question of the MODALITIES I would agree that emotion could be uninterruptible as an action because what one person may deem as sadness for example may be different from one person to the next. The same for body sensations only the person that can feel that particular emotion and sensation at the time may happen at a different time for another and my be different depending on the sensation. The people around that person my not feel the same thing but they do know that they are feeling something at that time. But it is completely different…



I have no idea where that went and right now it makes no sense can anyone make sense of it??

On Happening

In our past class on November the 28th 2007 the question what are happenings came up? We proceeded to define what action is, which came up as a happening in time or space. The idea that it could be human or non human. The next question then arose after the statement of an action is something needed to be brought into existence… By WHOM? I then thought of by NATURE because most things are brought to earth as a being or a thing naturally not by some force. Also I thought of nature because it was the first thing that is usually assumed to have created things.

In that same class the question of belief in unicorns as being and other whimsical things existing in another world. Most said no to the idea of that. Where does the idea of believing in angels come form? The other week a friend and I were talking about anytime she knows of anyone traveling she visualizes them in a white halo being guided with these beautiful figures. Now there is to some extent that I do believe that there are “angels among us or people watching over us” because things have happened that I could not explain they just happen. All I know is something helped the action along. I know there is the idea of what is right and what is wrong associated with angels, but how do we know it is just not our conscious talking and our being hyper aware of our surroundings?



Another couple questions that came about in class were… Are there situations where there is not change also came about? Just a middle? If so where do they exist? Are PACS are the things ever in touch with the outside time is it possible that PACS exists in that place? This is a difficult question to answer. Yes if time slowed itself so that the middle was the only thing that would be moving then that could be a possibility. I have no idea where this exists though. Yes PACS could exist in another realm if there were things or beings able to express, produce, mental thought, and determine fact. The idea of imagine exterior and material experience is this realm could happen again depending on what is inhabiting the place.

feeling the end of semester grind

I think it has finally hit me that the semeter is quickly coming an end. I relized that today in class. UNfortunatily it came to me at a really bad time while i was in class. Which in turn made me antzy and irritated that I could be doing other things instead of trying to take notes and comprehend what was being talked about. To be frank I have no idea what went on because my mind was racing with the idea that I have my final exam on the slides from the past few chapters in art history to study and I had better do well other wise i am screwed if i don't and a paper to write and i am screwed if i dont get that done soon. So in turn I already had started to think of I should not have done this, I should have stayed up later intead of going to bed at 8:30 last night, I should have done this I should have done that. I should be able to do my days that I was doing last semester at this time from 5:30 till almost 2 the next day I should be able to do that no I just go home and sleep. I am such a lazy bum for doing so. Why did I do that. I should be able to stay up later than 11:30 but no since I have been having problems in that department I am lazy and go to bed around 9:30 almost everynight it sucks! It really does. I hate myself for it. In turn all my grades are suffering in my opinion. In turn my art is suffering. Therefore I feel like i am a failure at everything because I have been lazy and gone to bed early. My family has been telling me I cannot be like the enigizer bunny and go go go there are some point I need to crash and step away. That brings up another thing. I have been really frustrated trying to work on this paper trying to figure out an anti thesis and thesis to my anti thesis and I honestly can say I think I have missed the whole point or concept of the class or atleast it feels that way. I am sorry for this rant. but It has been brewing for several weeks eventhough I may seem fine outwardly inwardly i am not when it come to thinking about school and work right now.

ps. when i am done with studying and getting things written I will have a better blog entry than the past two this one and the last one. I want to say I am still thinking of things and I have finally have something but I need to finish drafting.
