Indifference and Psychological Space

February 19, 2026

In order for indifference to take place in (and “as”) the human mind, a psychological space must exist. If you are indifferent to the suffering of people or animals — people are a type of animal, by the way — then there must be a limited psychological space in you, separating the perceiver from that which is perceived. A false, learned “center” (as a psychological self) must exist for this limited space to exist.

Innocence exists when limited space is not prevalent. Then compassion flowers and care blossoms. Then there is a perceiving that is not separative and divisive. Innocence transcends war and conflict. Deep intelligence involves great innocence.

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped. I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Stay mindful, understanding, and caring!...
