Communication: the process of churning out a third meaning.  This will be somewhere between what one person is imperfectly saying and the other is helplessly interpreting via their imperfect perceptions of what is meant. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpo che ~~~~~ Kommunikation: Der Prozess der Erzeugung einer dritten Bedeutung. Diese liegt irgendwo zwischen dem, was ein Mensch nur unvollkommen ausdrückt und dem, was der andere machtlos, mithilfe seiner unvollkommenen Wahrnehmungen dessen was gemeint ist, interpretiert." - Domo Geshe Rinpoche --- Enlightened beings continue to emanate into this world in order to deeply benefit those that are living under acknowledged imperfect conditions. Each one of them encourages people to evacuate the dangerous position of believing in this wor ld as a final destiny of evolution ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~ Realität: Mythos, Mysterium oder fauler Zauber Erleuchtete Wesen emanieren sich weiterhin in dieser Welt, um jenen, die anerkannterweise unter unvo...

What is an Idea? (part five)

All art is idea. It is a method to present or possibly force your idea, vision, or personal logic upon others. Those who are able to present their “idea” in the form of art in a way that either pleases people, or disturbs them, might cause them to buy it, display it for others or put in museums, are communicating an idea.

We should try to agree on a broader spectrum of meanings of a particular word to have a coherent and pleasant communication about important subjects. Following this, it then remains a demonstration of our language skills how it is set in the concept we wish to communicate to others. If we remain fixated or obsessed about important words by having a favorite or limited spectrum of meanings, especially philosophical or dharma words, we limit out ability to interact with others realistically and cause misunderstandings. The word “idea” can possibly also mean a plan or method of acknowledging that we only partially understand a concept. For example, Jack might explain very carefully what is going to happen in a construction project and I respond, “I think I have an idea about what you are talking about. ” So, the listener does not know where they are being led, but is following an idea of another with a certain amount of faith that the speaker who gathered the elements of the idea knew ...
