You have actually no way of knowing that. And your only defence is to project your own experience.

I got it wrong, so what, you are right and I am wrong, I surrender, ok
Married and divorced, as a matter of fact. As far as I know, his ex-wife remarried and raised a fairly decent family. It's been a while since I studied that clan.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 4:11 amI didn't know whether or not he was really married, or just had various concubines at his disposal. I did know he had a family, but they aren't a particularly nice one, apparently.
How did he get into this discussion?
Then why have you generated so many posts about it on this forum?
Then, why have you continually ranted about being alive against your consent?
So, why do you complain so much?
Like I've already told you, there is no thing generating anything. It only appears as if there is, as an illusory appearance.
because Knowledge informs...it's another illusory appearance, but there is nothing knowing knowledge.
Again, because Knowledge informs...it's another illusory appearance, but there is no thing knowing knowledge.
Because that's what happens in the dream, although no one is actually complaining, it only appears that way.
Yet, below... you say "because Knowledge informs"... that's your reason for ranting as you have... so evidently, something is being generated.
Who/what is informing and who/what is being informed?
How do you know that's how it would be?
Well, if everything is appearance, why do you distinguish (in your claims and your posts) between what is real and what isn't? And what matters and what doesn't?
Yes, something is apparently being generated, but that something is nothing appearing as something. Where was the something before it became known? it didn't exist did it. Same goes for you, where were you before you were born, before you existed? The fact that existence can exist at all is because of knowledge known, and that is the illusion, knowledge can only point to the illusory nature of reality, in that it is nothing other than a non-existing existence. Aka an illusion. You do not have to be ready to hear this. It's perfectly normal not to hear this, because you have been conditioned to believe you are real. And beliefs, which are just thoughts are very powerful.
No one. Except within the dream of illusory separation.
No one is making a claim, it only appears that way.
I do not know anything, I do not exist, there's just what's happening to no one and no thing, including an energy that states it does not know anything, and an energy that claims to know somethings. Nothing is doing everything.
Because that's what's happening, these statements being made is just what's appearing, no one is making this happen, it's just happening.
I'm part way through the Netflix documentary series on 9/11 'Turning Point' and it's even more baffling why the US was attacked and not Russia. Russia started the trouble by invading Afghanistan in 1979, while the US provided the Afghan rebels with weapons to fight the Russians (for self-serving reasons, of course, but still, why attack them for it?). Bin Ladin had a privileged upbringing and wasn't even Afghan. It's all very strange and none of it makes much sense.

It's over and done and hopefully, we've all learned lessons from it. And America needs to stop interfering in other countries. Let other countries do their thing and we have to do ours.

I hear you. I'm a fool most of the time and must own that remark, unfortunately for me. I don't know what I'm doing half the time.
I just want the world to get along right now. It's very stressful for me to see so much violence. We should have been able to have just gotten out of Afghanistan cold Turkey and left it at that. Now they're talking about Afghanis who helped Americans being beheaded, tortured, etc. Apparently ISIS got involved or whatever. So we have to help those Afghanis flee. The GW Bush administration FUCKED up the world. Cheney was cold and heartless. And everyone who voted them into office bears as much responsibility for this mess as anyone who voted for Biden.
And when you mess with a "religious country", you press the 'on' button for religious fanaticism also.
