Don't ever end a sentience with a proposition.
-- From the Happy Genius Book "I Think Existence Is Really Interesting"
At your local book store now. Hiding.
Sentience. What a neat-o word.
More and more of them there science guys are saying that EVERYTHING is sentient.
Including your coffee maker. Yes!
Think about it.
Now think about something else.
Wait!
You know your dogs and cats are sentient. But plants and worms and rocks!
Wow. As I was saying to the trees in my back yard..."We're all in this together."
...every single one agreed with me.

If the basic ingredient for sentience is energy capable of transcendence, then the whole universe or multiverse is sentient.

Sentient ... that's upstanding like an Ute on the plain until some blanc authority shoots eMe down ... some rocks are sentient in a passive way ... like hard psyches ... spoken of in the book of the bible as where Adonii planted it ... an Ute is like a spruced up ancient tree in the north ... Dan'ç tree in an arid wilderness?
You did know a' Don'i is a hole with an "i" in it? ... like a scull with the eye missing ... once portrayed as a scull covered with precious stones ... multiple difficult persona's ... as a beginning of a har to understand myth to cause those that do function as souls to think ... ans so it ghost ...
If you wish to avoid appearing illumatii ... one has to talk stoop ID ... tell grim tales about uprights! Ever see a rich person that can't lie down well? To the bottom tier that is ...

Some don't even have to work at it ... a creeping ailment like conspiracy of ignorance when knowledge and logic is cut down ... all that is left is the journal on the roué-natation of nature ... a law in this dimension to prove that man is self-destructive ... doesn't need a god only lack of thought!
Appears to function well if you look a'bote ... course som of us don't take such laws seriously and believe in bent, folded and mutilated thoughts ... warped psyches? Sometimes found in the cloth ... fabrications of dark order?

A splendid sentient specimen, eh?

If everything is sentient, think about the cruelty we have done.

Is there something out there to always learn?
It is enough to blow the limited mind! Can you imagine where it goes when swelled to abstract proportions ... leaves me wordless, or at least causes one an altered spell )if I said spelling would that be a dangling participle? Fix it so they won't know ...
Rules on everything are changing, but there are always hard things to get over, like soul when rye in the san ... that's without ... or beyond the absolute ... a bit of abstraction. Good thing to get into and watch the surroundings from a convoluted point ... like warp in space? That's hard for some to get their head about ...
You know how the religious are about unknowns and prophets ... those that get ahead of nothing ... knowing anything is a secondary thought (Gen 2) after having your apple Pi all to yourself ... word is god, in a negative sense, dark and phun to plae with ... stretches the hard soul ... gives what Einstein called a tensor ... 10's or something else again as the myth goes on --- CS Lewis!
There are some that say the shadow is nothing ... a mire abstraction as thrown down by higher powers ... power that corrupts ... could throw light on the situation ... but won't ... because of fear of the dark? Bottom dimension (LAN)ferme ... some people overlook it and all the wee people as collectives ... §(elf) integral with deep understanding when gathered ... with affection.
Real people hate to see wee people get together outside the hates ... means eLis about to erupt ... generally over stupid things like a Senate that knows little by innocent planning ... application of another hung thing due to ignorance ... judy'n confusion over the gimpled thing in space ... lost mine ... it's a Big Hole! Just imagine what you could put there or Eve'n find there in the dark (Shadow of a chicken heart---Bill Cosby)! It was a grand skit ... with jah loe and black snakes ...
Don't tell someone with green eis will plaguerize ID! Put things in it that shouldn't be there ... like divers fears as phaerenough when gotten into ... a sort of out-there entity as a bust ...

Consider transcenence like a wild thought that gets through to yah without you knowing ... sort of like dark poetry lodging in the subliminal portions of mind ... then if you can't conjure up a mind what good is creationism to those that feel unsafe and in clearer Eire ... the Celtic version of a purged mind. Wasn't Dante a real quack/quark ... always dealing with an imaginary eL OEM ... down there in dark form ... for people cannot imagine things beyond the absolute. Such eL's below give light to what would otherwise be a grim myth ... eluminate Aesop as a drippy legend? Well whetted dip for teh stele ... can you hear it hoem'n?
Sometimes you have to view these reciprocally ... completely opposite what you believed ...
Can destroy the hardest religions and turn them to san ... a place to put footprints with the ß'ithchii ... ephemeral dogma (that's impression of soul maw) in flight with the chicken ... always below the line of sight---Elmer Fudd ... heh who always misses ... ever see Mrs Fudd? You wasqal rabid ... sort of like a radical mind ... out-there ... how'd it get there?
Nun would accept this ... chi wode weally! So easy to crank a tongue ...

Yes, HG, I think that's all there is: transcendental energy. But, of course, transcendental energy is limitlessly creative. The cosmic content is given, but the context is infinitely variable.
Transcendental energy is a singularity. One could call it God, but one doesn't have to, because it is neither supernatural nor anthromorphic. It did, of course, eventually "humanify" itself, and thus became anthromorphized, but only among a lot of other things.
And the energetic totality evolved, among a lot of other things, consciousness and self-awareness. We humans, probably among other cosmic beings, are biological forms of energy that have become aware of who and what we ultimately are: eternal, self-creative energy.
This sounds rather prosaic, but to me it is not. To me, transcendental energy is God, and is what we are. I am in total awe of it and its limitlessly creative potential, and try to live up to it.

Yes! What else is a life for?
You start with:
"It is enough to blow the limited mind!"
You seem to be extraordinarily judgmental toward those who do not think/perceieve/conclude as you do.
I do wish sometimes that I knew what you were posting about. I read 'till I come to a sentence that makes no sense whatever and skip the rest. "Limited mind"? From what cognative height do you reckonize the limitations of....everybody?

Hey anybody!!!

Can one learn in a religion that plays down the tree of loci? Just a wiz Þurr now and then ... depending on the Eire state ...
An inside case etude ... for de nuts as in that Rae Stevens ditty on the Misses Hype Squirrel ... led to a soudurn revival ... as the ß-ithchiis (aboriginal scratch) were stirred ... like former's dissonance if you trace back that word in multiple Lexis! Multiple dimensions screw up the thoughts of the flat out thinkers ... just the way it is I guest ...
In the 1st place I was told not to think ... so I coverup for such sins in the emotional realm ... myths and metaphor work for meis ... did well for Joe Campbell, CS Lewis and others who wrote tales few religious folk could unwind!
These are not to be thunk about ... other than in entanglement theory! That quantum state could suque you in ... you'll be come an isolated thought ... in Hebrew tongue a mire mann, well duste-doubt ...

La Scie can rhett ID redundantly ... the make'n of de mudder of clæ vassels ... a bit of understudy on Grecean Urns, or just mire mental capacity beyond such heads ... leading to the English crapper ...
You just can't avoid this dirt for the truth must be buried ... mortals don't wish to know ...
If you do know something bury it ... for you're not supposed to know ... the gravid thought could be come ante gravid and you would take off ... thoughts are like that flighty by conditioning ...
Flight's not that bad ... ask the burrds! Raptors get way out there if you truly love the word and what's subtle about it! Sort of like a literary device ... Icarius? Often laden with emotions ... an abstract allience ...

there you are, happy genius -- are your paintings painting you or...? :3
I paint metaphor. I think. Maybe not. I don't paint things; I paint circumstances. Colours attest to moods soooo I paint say a metaphor on a circumstance which begat the mood.
OK, (head down) I really have no idea.
Glad I could clear that up.

HG: One can learn in every religion, in many it teaches focus.
..
In the 1st place I was told not to think
HG: If you wanted to think you should have gone to the 2nd place.
HG:In the 1st place I was hired to think. A challenge I loved. Some people are just a lot lucker than others.
HG:How many years have you publicly complained/wailed about your mistreatment?
HG:I think you may have really invented something : Hiding in public.
HG: I await for your telling me where I am wrong. Eager to learn! Cheers!

I was going to put this in a separate string just for the fun of moor miss understanding (l'ass on de loch) as public is desire is not to know ... thus the metaphor that comes up often out of the dark of second best in words that people just didn't get. Just for those that toss around metaphor and don't get the profundity ineMe as a Mass 've chaos!
An exercise; research;
Only then can standing under be reciprocated ... as ego ... something that comes back at cha like Canan ... a reflexion in Hebrew ... sometimes just a Big Bang when it comes back at you in untangled disambiguity ... or otherwise maas'n with words.
Words ares aid to be common out there ... within the bodean emotional context ... nut'n but the prescient ... or anti semiole ... a mire annachronism?
If God is humble ... according to Matthew 4:4 would word flow from a point when ins crypt ... loched up in a Shadowy form that some authority once said the common population shouldn't know? NOSH-ite as alloyed to a dimension of fecundity ... as covenented. This is the myth ... goph egg Ure ... if you can't you successfully misunderstood ... the point of failure so others could learn from what you displaced ...
What's displaced? Is that a shuol of thought when the bosun made a bad turn of emotions? This could be an eL of an outside state as isolated thought ... especially with psyche being denied ... a mental delusion or mire leasion on the brain as a fold, or recessive jinnii? Cre Vass ... that's de pits ... or the Hebrew B'n as past ...
A friend of mine, a behaviouralist neurologist, says that according to psychic theory you can't tell absolute people the truth ... they accept only abstracts ... incomplete lines ... as hyper nated ... all broke up so the alternate wouldn't know!
I abide by mental theory ... more rational that irrational theory about peoples emotions ... that's opposing crazy ... another chaos if you believe something can be made from nothing there has to be an exact opposite impression ... what I give to you as laid at your soul or fêtè ... you can kick it around or otherwise misplae çit ...
