This entire one-hour-plus video can be viewed by GOOGLING the following website:

Well there is a conversation between Jiddu krishnamurti and David Bohm on youtube which elaborates on the total perception, or the full approach as you verbalize it.

I think they were talking in terms of the thinking brain as the over dominant part and the mind as the whole: so emotions and feelings are part of the mind, not just the thinking brain, which forms ideas and theories. In that light, ideas are seen as the warping factor, distorting reality.

@niriop Not quite, in all time in all space it nearly never exists. But existence is just a STATUS at that exact time and exact space reletive to the sensor. This entire 100% correct relative to humans because the true answer over all space and time is not possible to humans.

@godno1god Thanks for the reply. I haven't read as much Schopenhauer as I would have liked to. I've had his Magnum Opus, "The World as Will and Representation", for a few years now but have not gotten around to reading it as of yet. Although I have read a few of his other works; "The Two Fundamental Problems with Ethics", "On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason", and a few of his essays. I must surely say that he is one of my favorite philosophers.

@TheBestInterest You are right friend. Bohm is talking about the world of phenomenon being a mere 'user illusion', but the real world is the unspeakable noumenon. David Bohm is expounding something Arthur Schopenhauer wrote, but independently, which I take as proof of a validity of some kind. Schopenhauer also thought that Kant and Plato were talking about the same thing. Have you read much Schopenhauer? Most people haven’t, which is a shame.

Just because we deconstruct the structure, does not mean that it is not there

[MyConsciousnessLives]

@superjujujuice - I agree with that. How could I not. Except the feeling part...It's not even that. Is it.

[superjujujuice]

@MyConsciousnessLives what does not change is real. What you are in your essence; at your core, your 'I AM', does not change, it does not move. "your" I AM is always the same. Ref: Ramana Maharshi, 'I AM That' by Nisargardatta, Jesus' I AM quotes, Mark West and Douglas Harding in youtube, wei wu wei, . Locate your I AM (a feeling NOT a thought) and stay there....regards!

@superjujujuice - But then what is real?

[superjujujuice]

...all appearance is illusion. There is actually nothing, nothing at all; see H.H. The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng (638 - 713)...and of course, the so called educated mind will never, ever get this... physics and philosophy are far, far away; way off...they analyze illusion and take it to be real. That is why "things recede further away..."

[TheBestInterest]

@godno1god Yes, strongly influenced by Kant, clearly. But it seems to me as if this is more in alignment with Schopenhauer's take on Kant than it is with Kant himself.
