Read my point again; Yes they are deities within the mind of the individual not deities like a creator God, angels, ghosts that exist independently of the human mind. Change is the generation of one phenomena into another, creation is change, thus not a contradiction. One of the core principles of ...

As I had stated the core principles of Buddhism, e.g. Anatta do not provide the real existence of any deva at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deva_(Buddhism). The term deva representing higher human beings is merely metaphorical tied to the mental states of a person. Those mental states are stil...

This expansion and contraction necessitates knowledge as circular where what has been known in previous times will eventually be revealed again in future times. An example of this would be that Rome was the height of information. It dissolved into the dark ages with less information. It steadily in...

Your rhetoric is getting crazier and is due to ignorance. Didn't you read the definition of prayer I listed earlier. Meditation proper do not include the above activities of what is generally a 'prayer'. Actually it does. The act of meditation on some image acts as a vehicle of change. Not all medi...

How can you be so blind to what you linked and is so hasty. I asked; Has any Buddhist kill anyone in the name of the Buddha and his doctrines? Out of protecting doctrines, yes: In Southeast Asia, Thailand has had several prominent virulent Buddhist monastic calls for violence. In the 1970s, nationa...

Thus when we find out the root causes of prayers and there is reason it to wean off and replace prayers with more effective alternative the drive to pray, then, there is no need to pray. Don't worry I am not onto you praying but rather we will wean off prayers and critically believing in an illusor...

Note Buddhists are non-theistic [atheists] and their central doctrine is empathy and compassion for all humans and living things. Buddhism isn't atheist, it does not claim answers to whether God exists or does not exist. Has any Buddhist kill anyone in the name of the Buddha and his doctrines? http...

Communist atheism killed more people in a hundred years than many religious wars over the past several hundred. Many faiths are still persecuted today. Do you promote genocide? How can you be so ignorant and relied on hasty generalization? It is very stupid to link atheism = communism, seeming excl...

Fine, I'm bored enough to read it. It was a private business, not a "free speech issue" unless you want to file a lawsuit; so either show me some law, or i'm no longer interested in replying to this. Or write a review of it on Yelp or something. /thread It is a philosophy forum. If you do not want ...

For a post about something as infantile as a "banned T shirt", that sure is a hyperbolic and histrionic post to make. So you are against freedom of speech, a person should be able to have a t-shirt banned? Fine, I'm bored enough to read it. It was a private business, not a "free speech issue" unles...

www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/news/8131093/banned-pub-t-shirt-woman-human-female-trangender/amp/ The feminists are getting raped by PC now. LOL. Funny how things "cycle". Let's see how "empowered" they are. So the feminist condemned the patriarchy and want a matriarchy. The transgenders com...

(-P --> -P) as subject to the law of identity is -P also directed towards itself into a self negation into a new tautology. To say (-P --> -P), where -P is self referencing, is to simultaneously state a self referential statement as -(-P).

Your points are without direction and going nowhere. Prayer is grounded in universal platonic forms. Yes, the nature of being takes on the form of a spiral in time, so the spiral exists in every activity. The question you need to ask is 'why do people pray?' Prayer is the embodiment of a way of see...

The 3 laws of Inherent Middle (Recursion), Inherent Void (Isomorphism) and Inherent Context (Loops) exist as intertwined and are One and the Same: 1) The voiding of void results in One supreme context where void, as Nothingness, is negated through the act of "being". 2) This context is voided into m...
