I was questioning myself, what do I know? Where am I getting knowing from ? ..I wasn't asking you...ken wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 2:11 pmShow Me that dontaskme truly does get. Stop saying that some things are unknown, and then I will stop questioning and challenging that ridiculous presumption.
I am unable to get a clarification of what 'I' am from dontaskme's perspective because dontaskme says that they can NEVER know what I am, so I am unable to know how to answer this question for you properly.

Re: The unsolvable mystery of Reality Itself
Did ken know he had been born....NO
Will ken know that he has died...NO
There's only NOW that is knowable...known by no one.
Get the idea?

Re: The unsolvable mystery of Reality Itself
Although dontaskme asked, and then answered their own questions here, I do agree with those answers.
But do we want to talk about what ken can know or what I can know?
What is the idea dontaskme is asking if it had been gotten?

Re: The unsolvable mystery of Reality Itself
To put it rather bluntly, the universe is actually the eternally cyclic 'flow of Nothingess'.
Why exactly does Nothingness flow?
Why exactly does Nothingness flow?
Re: The unsolvable mystery of Reality Itself
Is the answer because ... Nothingness cannot be an event?

You do not accept that minds exist only a Mind which is why you are no clearer in understanding how mind is defined by meken wrote:
You define mind as a function of the brain but just like walking is a function of the legs and writing is a function of the hands and
speaking is a function of the mouth none of this exactly defines what walking actually is what writing actually is and what speech
actually is. I also am no clearer to understanding how you define what the mind actually is
But the answer I gave was nonetheless true so I see no reason to expand on it as it may not provide any more clarity for you

No as I am referring to all life forms known and unknown that will have existed for the entirety of existence which is infiniteken wrote:Are you referring to temporary in relation to surreptitious57 only heresurreptitious57 wrote:
I prefer the terms Existence or Reality or Universe for unlike Mind none of them
imply a never ending consciousness that is only temporary rather than infinite
For I make a distinction between minds that experience some level of consciousness and objects that do not experience any

The Universe is Existence and Existence has and always will exist simply because Non Existence cannot be eternalRelinquish wrote:

As the flow of absolute nothing can only persist infinitesimally because Nature cannot tolerate an infinite vacuum

I think this is why it is an unsolvable mystery.Relinquish wrote: ↑Sun Aug 20, 2017 2:37 am We don't REALLY know why Movement is happening, though it seems that It can only happen AT Stillness.

That is NOT what I am no clearer in understand what the mind is, to you.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 2:54 pmYou do not accept that minds exist only a Mind which is why you are no clearer in understanding how mind is defined by meken wrote:

I am totally clear and understand how you define mind. To you, the mind is a function of the brain. You are only saying what the mind is a function of. This does not say much at all about what the mind, itself, actually is. So, that is the reason WHY I am no clearer in understanding what the mind actually IS, to you. But I totally do understand WHY this is all you can provide. You are UNABLE to provide any more.
The answer you gave may be true, to you, but if that is the best answer that you can give, then I can not ask for any more. If you are also unable to expand on it, then I will not ask you to do it. But do not try and twist this around back on to Me, like you have done on many occasions before.surreptitious57 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 2:54 pmBut the answer I gave was nonetheless true so I see no reason to expand on it as it may not provide any more clarity for you
You have previously written:
But now you are trying to blame others (Me) for you not using words. When will you take responsibility for the words them selves that you use, or do not use?surreptitious57 wrote: How anyone reacts to your words is for them not you. You are only responsible for the words them selves.
If you can not explain what the 'mind' actually IS, without just saying "it" is a function of the brain, then that is certainly NOT My fault.
