Life is just a way to pass eternity without being constantly insane.

Life is a short warm moment, and death is a long cold rest!

I suppose all things would have to come in the form of an event, and come from the process of validation. Whether or not the product of this process would conform to the idea of a thing that is common to most peoples mind is another question, I suppose what I personally have in mind is best describe...

Is it possible to obtain something from nothing? I think ultimately it comes down to what we define as nothing, it's an undeniable truth that in order to have anything tangible, the potential for physicality has to exist prior to any manifestation of substance. So is this potential necessarily a som...

Wanderinglands, I find your ideas interesting, as I also have often thought in terms of numerological significance. I also began with with 0, which to me signified the unconscious. This unconscious potential becomes 1 at the point consciousness becomes manifest from what was only the potential for i...

Surely you don't call that philosophy? Simply stating the obvious and saying its bad is just simply idle moaning. As a general rule of thumb, if you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say nothing!

Correct jackles, which is why physicists can find particles before they've lost them, or talk in terms of a particles wave function.

I'm mostly interested in the nature of the things we classify as objective, and the way in which our function of distinction operates. It puzzles me how things, such as the sun, and the moon, can appear so manifestly different in their nature, but in reality be formed by a uniform essence which is f...

Eagerfortruth, thanks for your response, it was rather extensive so it may take me a while to cover all the points you make. Your post lacked nothing for the want of esoteric terminology, I personally find it helpful when a person is able to express their ideas in the manner they form, rather than a...

Ginkgo, I have a book by Berkeley which is next on my reading list, so I'll be able to comment on that shortly. With regards to the physicality of subatomic particles, I would say their position as objects is tentative, surely using reason alone it can be deduced that at some point physical properti...

Spheres, the way I understand reality, is that all things and events are subject to interpretation, as in your example of touch, you say we feel certain inherent forms of substance, but in reality we approach a threshold at which certain forces come into play, there is no physical contact between su...

Hex, the motivation behind peoples actions are often obscure, I often wonder why certain parents decided to burden the world with the likes of you, and why when they realised their error, they continued to feed you. I also wonder why you bother to feed yourself for that matter.

Ginkgo, yes that's basically what I'm saying. All difentiation of objective reality is some degree dependent on perception, and at a fundamental level, what exists is not physical. What interests me is the necessity of this fact, and the impossibility of interaction if things were actual distintict ...

What is the definition of an object? And in what capacity, if any, is it that a thing can be classed as fundamentally distinct from the rest of the reality it inhabits? I think the answer to these questions, is that the defining of object is contingent upon a conscious evaluation of certain distinct...

Greylorn, I've had a look at your website, and to be honest I'm yet to experience the right type of meltdown to enable me to read the bible, so trying to work my way through a pile of shit that simply proposes multiple gods instead of one, would be like taking my brain out on a walk around willy won...

I would say that at the very least, your intentions and efforts are noble. I've tried in the past, but once I had kids it became exusting on my pocket and my will.
