What is FIML in philosophical terms?

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

FIML is a conversational pragmatic and poetic phenomenology1 of extemporaneous2 interpersonal semiotics and psycholinguistics.

  1. the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view ↩︎
  2. from the Latin ex tempore: ex (immediately after) + tempore (time, opportunity, occasion); at the time, in and of the time. In Buddhist terms this may be thought of as the thusness of speech and semiotics ↩︎

Properly done, FIML is a poetic, practical, playful, objective and subjective conversation about what just happened and is happening right now. It is a shared thusness of a particular time and place.

Like the eyes in our heads, which are the only parts of the brain visible to us, FIML ‘sees’ the profundity of the moment as it actually was and is. This ‘seeing’ can be trivial (‘oh, that’s a stick, not a snake’) or it can be profound, with deep resonance throughout memory and mind.

Life without FIML, to me, is boring and missing one of the best aspects of sentient being. ABN

April 26, 1996: Brigitte Bardot denounces ‘Muslim invasion’

 April 26, 1996

PARIS, April 26 — Former screen goddess Brigitte Bardot, now France’s best-known animal rights activist, Friday denounced what she said was a Muslim ‘invasion’ of France that may force her to emigrate. ‘My country, France, my homeland, is again invaded, with the blessing of successive governments, by an overflow of foreigners, particularly Muslims, to whom we pay allegiance,’ Bardot said in a column published in the newspaper Le Figaro.

‘Year after year we see mosques spring up everywhere in France, while our church bells fall silent for lack of priests,’ she wrote. Bardot also condemned the Muslim practice of slaughtering sheep during the Aid-el-Kebir festival, which she said involves ‘tens of thousands of poor beasts having their throats slashed in front of each other with knives that are roughly sharpened by clumsy sacrificers who must try several times… ‘Will I be forced in the near future to flee my country, which has become a bloody, violent place, to emigrate, to try and find elsewhere.. the respect and esteem which is, alas, daily refused us?’ she asked.

An anti-racist organization described Bardot’s statement as ‘repugnant, nauseous and unacceptable’ and said it ‘reserves the right to take appropriate legal action. This racist provocation shows… a disturbing trend in our society,’ it said. Bardot, 61, quit the movies in 1973 and has since devoted herself to an animal rights foundation that bears her name.

FIML is especially good for and accessible to very sensitive people who pick up on communication signs much more than most people and who love having those sensitivities but do not know how to manage them well

If your head is often boiling with ideas, associations, memories, signs and signals from people and the world around you and you love it but maybe it’s driving you crazy… and you have a partner who is similar or at least understanding, then you will love FIML and become good at it if you try.

The basic Buddhist take on sexual misconduct is you shouldn’t harm anyone or let yourself be harmed by sexual behavior. Less basic is sexual thought and behavior should not be excessive. ‘Identifying’ your ‘self’ with your ‘sexuality’ is almost anti-Buddhist because Buddhism is all about overcoming the self, which is an illusion, a delusion. Additionally, sexuality is not the most important part of humans. For these reasons seducing children (or adults) into delusive identities based on sexuality is not right conduct. It is sexual and psychological misconduct. It is foisting your own delusions on others, leading others to make the same mistakes you have. ABN
