GERES or: why thinkgs are not getting "better", and neither "worse": the i wents hiking a few years ago in the sierra de geres, in the north of portugal, bordering spain. i hikedcamped there for a week and walked over to the sea, to via de castello, where, btw, i read "the limits of thought" by david bohm and krishnamurti for the first time. anyhow, during this hike some thinkg happened to the i, no: ii ~ liiterally. some light/bulb wents on ... show time, big time. ii simplifies the process(ing): i moved all day long, & either it was brutally hot or it was pouring like crazy.... thinkgs were never: 'right'. some thinkg was all ways: 'wrong'. 'missing'..... no mattermind what. and then&there iT hit ii: ii realized :: that this (movement) was ::: scalable, self-similar (fractal)... that this dynamics applied to :::: alleveryany thinkgs in lifedeath (liidii), no mattermind how 'hard' youus 'trys'. every thinkg (= process! .....= movement): has a flip-side, an antagonist, etc .... and ii does not mean: merely abstractly speaking, every antagonist is not just passively standing by, as an onofflooker, it is actively )co(operating in the "back"round, ready to take "over" center-stage (iwarenessmess).....when iTs timespace comegoflows. and thus: every improvement IS a setpack, every advantage IS a disadvantage, every pleasure IS pain, every security IS an insecurity, every more IS less, etc etc etc .... everythinkg has its 'price', and in the 'end' thinkgs are all ways : zero(sum)..... equilibrium..... and that is what ii calls "geres" (named after those beautibeastifullempti mountains, those ups&downs, those colds&hots, those wet&drys, those fears&hopes, those pleasure&pains and and and).....that eternal dance/action/process/motion/balance of the antagonists.... not them ("individually") per se, put their very inter/actions/plays... and what iT : does ("the meaning of some thinkg is what it: does"). the w'hole society/system we livedie (liidii) with'in is based on this, the mother of all lies (see also CICKS), the lie that thinkgs can/will be: better, bigger, healthier, stronger, smarter, richer, wholer, happier etc etc etc .... the lie of the )n(ever-lasting: MORE MORE MORE .... which is the driver, & all our system --- science, religion, politics, economics, love, culture... our belief/system....any'thinkg --- is running on that ~ )(anyhow, pit's liidii changed there )not( )(
