^ You should write “Escaped from AS3 ”. I wasted much time digging with that :impatient:

Time wasted, is time learnt ;) I think you learn more when you do the wrong things, because then you know what is right. Everything points to the ultimate answer in the end.

Wrong things can be done two ways, one is like you pointed as part of learning and another is due to ignorance. I invested time on AS3 with the belief it would be easier to work with native 3D on flash (player 10) but learnt that it is nothing more than half-baked addition by Adobe; around 3-4 months wasted to create a frame work just to fix the loop holes. I made that with the assumption further projects can utilize the framework but later found that there are more levels of holes there than expected and just dropped. That’s my ignorance and that’s the last time I believed Adobe! :P

I understand your points, but you still believed in something that was your passion, so I wouldn’t say ignorance, you were following your heart, not your mind. But true success comes from following your heart, not what your mind perceives as what you want, then you are following an empty pursuit. The mind always seeks what the heart wants in the end. :)

Sorry, for elongating this; I always have the confusion of what is mind and what is heart :D People speak about that so easily but too many things are so blur with those ideas. A necessary subject but requires more observations than conclusions.

Coming to our subject; it is simple – I just wasted time with AS3 – in reality it has very little difference in the output from AS2 in most practical cases :D

To fully comprehend the difference between heart and mind, you need to step outside of your mind and think with your heart. You see we think with our heart through our mind, so it’s distorted. The mind creates the illusion, the heart knows the truth. That’s why when you follow your heart it feels right, and when you follow your mind it feels wrong. It’s simple, think with your heart and feel with your mind. Then you will understand the difference between heart and mind. The mind is just thoughts – imagination, the heart is love – the truth. So do you believe in what you imagine, or do you see what is real – the truth. You can’t think about this to understand it, it’s an acceptance, a knowing of what is. Then you will see ;)

^ Thanks for differentiating man, now I see the difference between those.

So obviously it will take time to get familiar with heart (real self) if the mind is too busy / occupied ones life. That’s my first “feel” or confusion whenever I think/hear about this. Is it possible that anyone suddenly drops movement with mind and aligns with heart? I don’t know if things go this way but so far I see it as gradual alignment (with some inevitable ups and downs on the way) rather than a gifted clarity of “Today this thing sorted out inside me and also I aware this”. This is where I believe continuous observation/monitor is the key. The point of time where we start gaining awareness about this thing (entire subject) is not necessarily “protected by heart” or “aligned with heart” still everything could be just inside the random / temporary mind’s environment. I have observed this thing many times (not at the time of “happening” but after), that’s why I say these subjects as long term confusions we voluntarily enter, accept and observe :)
