Figuring Out What to Ignore and Why to Ignore It

Consider: everything.

Ancient cultures used religion to articulate reality. They recommended, all of them, detachment. Or, in other words, learning how to ‘apply’ the (modern) word called (the art of) ‘ignore.’

In today’s chaotic technological ‘world,’ all of us are ‘learning,’ because we, absolutely, ‘need to know,’ how, and, maybe more important, ‘what’ to ignore.

Consider: everything.

Detachment

It’s not possible to detach from ‘everything.’ At least, that’s how we, presently, ‘think.’ Which is why, and, also, how, religion has ‘survived.’ This is because we all ‘know,’ in one way or an ‘other,’ Nature is controlled, and articulated, by, an ‘uber-simple’ circle.

Circle.

If I tell you this diagram articulates a line, as well as a ‘circle’, you may ‘wonder’ what I am saying. Although, again, it’s easy to articulate.

Line.

What I’m showing you is how to, and why you must, ‘ignore.’

Differentiation

Again, the two ‘diagrams’ are similar. Yet different. In algebraic terms, X and X is X and Y (X and X’). In order to ‘understand’ one, you must ‘ignore,’ the ‘other.’

To confuse you ‘more,’ 0 and 1 is 1 and 0 (0 and 0) (1 and 1).

To confuse you even ‘more,’ 0 and 1 is 0 not one.

And, that’s all there is to ‘reality,’ actually.

0. 1.

Symbolism

We are accustomed to drawing diagrams and ‘labeling’ them. Without thinking very much, at all, about how we do this. And-or ‘why’ we ‘do it.’

If I tell you, any diagram, and, also, any ‘label,’ is a ‘line’ conserving a ‘circle.’ You will, absolutely, understand me. (Because pi controls ‘reality.’)

However, you may decide to ‘ignore’ me (and my explanation). For your own purposes (you have better things to do than think about a ‘circle.’ :)

Ignore. Pay attention.

Circularity

Again, there is a mandatory circular relationship between the words (symbols) ‘ignore’ and-or ‘pay attention.’ Meaning, whether you are ignoring or paying attention you are both ignoring, and, paying attention, at the same time.

Again. Absolutely, confusing. Because of how we’re ‘programmed’ (trained) to ‘think.’

A symbolic representation always articulates a circle. And. It always looks like this:

Symbolic representation.

Communication

It doesn’t matter what you call it. How you think about it. What it ‘looks’ like. What it’s meant to ‘communicate.’ Any (and every) ‘symbol’ articulates a circle.

Symbolic circle.

This explains, totally, why, and how, to ‘ignore,’ everything. Or, anything.

And. Or.
Everything. Anything.

In simpler terms, in human relationships, using what we know ‘best (as humans)’ to ‘clarify’ the ‘diagram,’ we can say (and prove, easily), any X and-or Y is 0 and-or 1. Also known as M and-or F. (Diameter and circumference.)

X and Y
0 and 1
M and F

This applies to true and false.

T and F

Also here and now. Then and there.

Here and now. Here and not-now. (Here and not-here.) (Now and not-now.)
Then and there. Then and not-there. (Then and not-then). (There and not-there.)
Here and then. Now and there. (X not X).

Again, totally confusing.

Confusing. Not-confusing.

Clarity

Though here, we can untangle the word ‘confusing’ to ‘clarify’ all of the diagrams (and labels). Everything (and anything) is 50–50 confusing. And, therefore, annoying, and not-annoying. (Any ‘X’ is ‘not-X’ half-the-time). (All the time).

Annoying. Not-annoying.

And, therefore, then, (we have, easily, proved) 50–50 explains (and clarifies) everything. Why we must ignore. And why we ‘do’ ignore. Everything. 50–50.

And that’s all there is to reality. Ignoring. Human relationships. All relationships.

Reality

Why do we need to ‘know’ this? (Or, better, why do we need to ‘know’ anything?) In order to ‘explain’ (and, half-the-time, enjoy) relationships (all of them).

Relationships.

Explaining why we’re ‘here,’ all of us. Half-the-time. No more. No less.

We’re ignoring. And, we’re, also, being ‘ignored.’ Again, half-the-time (all-the-time).

Half-the-time.

Why, then, always, half-of-everything, is ‘everything.’

Everything. Anything.

So, that’s it. (Half of you ‘get(s)’ this.) (The other-half, not so much.) Meaning, whether you realize it (get it), or not, you ‘totally,’ get it.

Conservation of the circle is the core dynamic in Nature. (Impossible to ignore this.)
