How is thought no different from these? LOL. This is totally bullsiht. I agree that none of this is "arising". But if you can't differ senses from mental phenomena such as unconscious thoughts, subconscious and etc.. then you're clueless as this troll called dontaskme. I agree that no odo...

No, there is no premise that you are a consciousness floating around. You HAVE a consciousness. and it is in your brain. Let that sink in Consciousness is everything and not-a-thing simulatanously. It can’t be seen / it is the seeing. It can’t be known / it is the knowing. It’s not in anything nor ...

Dam, no offense intended, but the fact that you even ask that question makes it clear that you do not fully understand either of our theories. I'm never offended by anything that comes out of the human mind. My only interest in life is God's mind. It's obviously clear to me that both you and Nick h...

Uwot Are you sure your issue is with secularism? Surely a far bigger problem is the vast bulk of humanity that adhere to religions which state that your beliefs are wrong. The essence of secularism is its psychological restriction to one level of reality. It has many representatives psychologically...

Dontaskme wrote: You are the gardener. What you believe or what you think will become your reality. Like I said in my last reply to you. If there is no I, no self, then I, self , cannot be the instigator of beliefs. I partly agree with what you say as psychology, but pain and joy do break into the ...

Is this an implied threat? There is nothing more you can possibly do to attack me in terms of rhetoric after years of pretty well weekly, sometimes daily, attacks on my character over a period of years. The only possible intensification from there would be physical or cyber attacks. This character ...

DaM We automatically know how to be, being is just being all by itself...and what ever feels alien to us, is rejected immediately...often projected into the world of other in the misguided belief that other exists of course...there is nothing ever wrong with this play of opposites..it's just the en...

I may be wrong but “sick unawakened mind” seems to express a negative emotion which detracts from its value. The implication is that there is something “bad” about it. This is the Greta mind trap. Don’t fall into it. When Jesus was on the Cross he said to “forgive them for they know not what they d...

DaM What I believe is that on physical death of the body the personality of that soul that has been evolving does not die with the body but continues on as and through a new body, otherwise what's the point of learning anything..... all the info is carried forward to the next incarnation and downlo...

I'm confused, thought this thread was questioning Dontaskme? And of course no such thing as infinity, and nothing isn't something much to worry about. No point in arguing it over several threads. If he really wants to believe in it, just explain why it can't be in his every theory. I've started tra...

We may have changed the course of evolution, but we didn't kill it. The animals and plants that are still alive will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. There is no 'course of evolution' as if it were predetermined. We are the result of evolution and so in that sense we, like all other forms...

If a group of dolphins, or apes, or bees, or big feet, evolved to possess mental and social skills that rivaled man's, such animals would recognize the threat humans posed. Conflicts would be inevitable. We humans, having thousands of years of technological advances in our pockets, would end up kil...

First of all, I don't think that my following words are accurate , because I don't think Truth can be fully accurately expressed with language, but I have tried to use language to effectively point to Truth. Like in all other fields and worldviews, minor to moderate disagreement exists among non-du...
