A special kind of wisdom is loose in the world.This wisdom is difficult to codify or categorize;and it refuses to be intutionalised.
It is called crazy wisdom.And so it is both crazy and wisdom
Crazy wisdom is de wisdom of the saint,theZen master,the poet,the mad scientist,and the fool.It se that we live in a world of many illusions,
that the emperor has no clothes,and that much of himan belief and behavior is ritualized nonsense.It loves paradox and puns and pie fights
and laughthing at polititians.It is the skeptical voice inside us that doubts on our importance in the world and questions our belief in a higher
purpose.It laughs at our ridiculous ways and shows compassion for the suffering for the suffering that result from them.
Although we have no record to proove it, a little crazy wisdom must have been around since prehitoric times
No doubt some contrary ancient sage was present to tell the cave people that capturing fire would creatt as many problems as it would solve
True and false are constant companions....

"if you understand,things are just as they are,if you don't understand,things are just as they are"

"to see the truth, contemplate all phenomena as a lie"

"i don't make jokes.I just watch the government and report facts"


"the evolution of the brain not only oveshot the needs of prehitoric man,it is the only example
of evolution providing a species with an organ which it does not know how to use"


The Essential Crazy Wisdom a book from WES"SCOOP"NISKER

define crazyness first ,then i will awnser to your crazy response

Nitpicking of definitions in a debate is a logical fallacy; I refuse to play this game. I am not going to adopt a "go down to what we know" reductionist philosophy, I already have my own and am quite content with it.

I don't think that's a logical fallacy. It's a perfectly valid response to ask for a definition of a term, so as to clear up any confusion about it.

The Universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we Can imagine.

'Crazy Wisdom' has always been there - it just takes a different mindset to realize that it surrounds us, enwraps us, is a part of all things....and 900 years of living is enough to make any one crazy enough to see it... ;)

Your point? I have never heard of him, nor had I heard the quote before this - but I find it hilarious.

I don't. It think that evolution has provided a species with an organ that most members of that species can't be bothered to use! (that species being us!)

Just for you to know who said it :)
