Hindus do.
Exactly, you are just someone who thinks a voice in your head isn't you.attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 11:50 amHAHAHA!!Arising_uk wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 11:07 amYou don't get reborn after death.attofishpi wrote:

In their dreams.
If you interpret "rebirth" as "somebody with identical mannerisms, body language and way of thinking as the guy that died" it's understandable; and statistically - a certainty.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 11:03 pmIn their dreams.

That's how the Dalai Lama is "rediscovered" after he "switches bodies" err, I mean ... dies. If you've ever been pinned with the label "you are an old soul" (you are too mature for your age) - same shit. Some people are born with common sense/wisdom. They get mistaken for sages. A lot.
The last "sage" I met ripped off (err, I mean - took charitable donations from) very many gullible westerners seeking enlightenment and used their money to build schools, universities, hospitals and irrigation systems which benefitted millions of people in India.

Crook or a genius - I am having trouble making up my mind.
Just so I am clear about how irrational you are...what percentage of certainty would you place that I am the one generating the voice inside my head?Arising_uk wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 11:02 pmExactly, you are just someone who thinks a voice in your head isn't you.
Nah, don't think you have ever met a sage. I certainly haven't...not in person.Skepdick wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 12:34 am The last "sage" I met ripped off (err, I mean - took charitable donations from) very many gullible westerners seeking enlightenment and used their money to build schools, universities, hospitals and irrigation systems which benefitted millions of people in India.
Well ignoring discussions about "rationality" and "irrationality" and what an "I" is, I'd say about 99.99...%.attofishpi wrote:

Stubborn foolishness to the extreme, saving face is all you deal in. Therefore it is, you are 99.99% a fool.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 12:11 pmWell ignoring discussions about "rationality" and "irrationality" and what an "I" is, I'd say about 99.99...%.attofishpi wrote:

What are you talking about? You claim that you hear a 'great sage' talking to you in your head and presumably think it is an actual entity outside of yourself communicating with you, I just think that it is generated by a subconscious part of you for whatever reason.attofishpi wrote: Stubborn foolishness to the extreme, saving face is all you deal in.

In so far as I can tell, the only difference between you and me is that you don't own the voices in your head.attofishpi wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:55 pmWhat is this 'philosophy' that you have devoted a large part of your existence to?Arising_uk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 1:36 pmWhat are you talking about?

Is it a love of knowledge or a love of wisdom or both?
To you and most and sundry around here it appears you ONLY love knowledge. By your 99.99% reply, you truly don't even know what wisdom is..so Y quest_ion me about a 'great sage' something I have never called him - he is merely a 'sage'.
Insisting you are 99.99% certain everything I talk about in relation to sage and God is all some sort of personal mindfuck - only renders you a fool.
I think you would first have to post something that was more than a bowl of word salad; something that actually meant something.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 3:46 amI don't object or affirm anything.

No I am looking for a philosopher that either knows more and/or can actually hold himself up to questioning...the forum is getting stagnant.
