^^^ I was refering to the obsolete notion that nothing can exceed the "speed of light in a vaccuum". Perhaps the "absolute" speed of light in a vaccuum is an "absolute" for photons (that is argueable, though as there can be no 'motion' of any sort in timespace, and that...

You are mistaken. The 'transfer' is instantaneous.
Look it up; "superluminal communication".
It's a done deal already, not 'if' but 'how'...

Welcome.
Enjoy the ride.

nameless, and what do you say of this (again from the Book of Mirdad)? I just found the book online in pdf format, but I'm having trouble reading pdf files at the moment. OK, I found it HERE . I'll give it a try. ( My last book was about 200 pages. I trimmed the 'fat' and it's down to about 6 pages...

I, too, have found 'love' to be an egoless (prideless) state of being in which there is no 'subject' and no 'object' (as it is egoless); it is simply what you are. (Exactly the opposite of the egofilled prideful belief that "I am God"! Perhaps that's why such 'egoic pride' is considered a ...

Thanks Richard! Nameless.....please don't mistake my introduction for me being a kid that is consumed with MySpace and texting..... I am 36 ..... One can, at any age, seek people in one's immediate vicinity. It is not a put down, just an observation. An optimist may see a light where there is none,...

Perhaps you mistake us for MySpace? I don't see why. "Myspace" smacks of egocentric space, the space within which one might describe one's location as "Here! Now!". The 'judgement' problem is yours. I simply remember that MySpace was full of 'get together requests'. No judgement...

who don't philosphy have to explain why he don't philosphy. And to explain this, he do philosophy. Who do not "do philosophy" cannot explain because, if explaining is philosophy (critical thought), he cannot "do philosophy". It is up to the philosophers to 'explain' (according t...

^^^ Exactly!!

There is not anything 'beyond' perception.
For something to (be perceived to) exist, it must be perceived.
Perception is existence.

You are welcome.
(I added a bit to my ^above^ post after seeing your website.)

Sounds like you are on a mission from god! Welcome to philosophy 101. Noticing your emphasis on 'Love' reminded me of something that occurred to me this evening. With all the philosophising examining 'what is beauty', and all the definitions, it occurred to me that another definition is that; 'Beaut...

This only applies if you think there is no real world to which words apply as names. "A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used." -Oliver Wend...

Perhaps it would be a more accurate statement, rather than claiming to speak some sort of nebulous "truth", to relate that you speak 'honestly', 'sincerely', as do I. A claim to speak the truth is entirely different than a claim to honesty. One claims the truth (as truth for all) and the o...
