... had insights, thoughts arising in Mind.
Karma can be understood many ways.
One of definitions is that our thoughts, speech and actions from past cause our present and future. There's also how we experience ripening karma, we can try to calm mind, or follow happy energy, for example. Our decision seeds karma to ripen in future.
Karma ripens when conditions allow. Without seeds in store consciousness there's nothing to ripen, as well.
Many parts can be included in Karma definition, for now i keep 3-parts model, for simplicity.
Karma is:
1. What You eat,
2. What You have / both internal and external resources - from wisdom & intelligence, knowledge, skills, happiness ... to good style & looks, to money, 'household', and rare goods. /,
3. With whom You keep with, / friends and enemies, with better and worse resources and eating habits. /
Does a Tea Leaf have mind?
... i think it does have mind ... it's complex organism consisting of many bacteria and other microorganisms, perhaps. Each of smallest living units has mind, i think. Bacteria are alive beings, viruses are not - these are phenomena without Mind.
Similar with humans, animals, etc - these have mind, and are complex entities. Complex entities consits of smaller complex entity(-es) and/or smaller simple entity(-es).
Let's consider 'lifecycle' of living beings.
... animal is alive, then hunted, dead, meat prepared.
... no longer animal, but smaller units - bacteria, etc ... still live.
... humans eat meat, digest - there's still living units, probably even smaller.
... we expell 'crap' / pl: 'kupa' /, there's still life contained.
... 'crap' can be used as fertilizer / pl: 'nawóz'. / for plants, or a part of the fertilizer production process.
... then perhaps some of plants are eaten by animals and/or human beings again.
... i think that both plant-and-meat-eaters, vegetarians & vegans are needed ... and i think that conscious-and-flexible-consumers are needed the most, as well.
... let's try to not hate each other too much, but let's eat wisely - using ecosystem research efforts.
/ my father was animal hunter and studied parts of animal ecosystem. there are laws on which animals can be shot, where and when, fees to pay after shooting, etc.
... too much or too little of certain animal population in given area can result in great ecological disaster, that's why my father had to study animal ecosystem regularly. without studies he would lose hunting license, and face other problems probably, as well.
... i've studied Environmental Engineering, which included Ecology a little, on mother's sugestion - she worked in that 'college'. she died of cancer, among other ills. ... but i've completed biology lesson with 'good' or 'very good' grade - forgot details. now i work at hospital that treats cancer, as physical security specialist in Juwentus Security Company. fitting work for my background, and for someone who tries to identify with Mahakala, Buddhist Guardian and Protector, among other. ... but someday, preferably in less than 3 years, i wish to return to computer sciences - probably in Adobe Co. ... perhap's i'll write software for RNA/DNA visualization and modelling, among other functionalities.
... Warsaw University - Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics faculty, MIMUW, has Interdisciplinary Center for Modelling, ICM - perhaps still.
... i'd love to be a part of MIMUW Alumni's Science Circle, when i'll return to MIMUW to study Mathematics. i do not need to be the best, being a part of greater whole is a bliss in my eyes. i do not need too political students' organizations, as for example BEST is - i prefer true science, with practical technology than politics.
... don't get me wrong - politcs can be useful and needed, but it's not 'my piece of a cake', as far as sciences are considered.
... i do politics in esoteric circles, but i stay away from other, more mundane and scientific politics - that's 'my piece of cake'.
... advanced science & technology can be magical, esoteric, spiritual - but i prefer to stay low - unless i must. /
There are many languages of animals, of humans, etc ...
... i think human, animal, god, ... beings are states of mind, but not only - there are steps in realization, as well.
Criticism requested & welcome.
... perhaps these ideas can be used with: Statistics for Enlightenment, ... How i understand Mind, Body, Energies & related.
