No it's not, that's psychoanalysis or bodged new-age western/'eastern' mysticism.
Which, obviously is direct opposite of I am.
No it's not as it explicitly acknowledges 'I am'.
You choose whatever vantage point you wish. Good luck my friend & I support you in whatever decision life gives you at this moment.
More nonsense from you.
2. There is another English speaker.
Not sure how this can be a major belief or opinion but to rebut it is quite simple. There are about 7billion humans populating earth right now. Philosophically, you must try to imagine that there are other languages. MANY other languages and even more dialects. Please believe me when I say millions of people DO NOT speak English. So, in fact, there is not another English speaker.
Hello!! Earth to the bear of little brain, you confirm my belief with your reply.
To be or NOT to be? - That was a question.
No, to be and not to be is the proposition and it's false on all occasions.
Again, a tad bit sophomoric but I will humor your request.
Actually it's one of the major foundations of Philosophy but you'd not know that.
We live in a multidimensional universe. This is one of my basic philosophical tenants. We experience but one tiny sliver of reality. A reality, as Einstein would have us believe, that exists within a landscape of realized possibilities – but not necessarily a realized possibility for you. Or for me, or for any one of the 7billion people or so existing on earth. So yes, it is but perhaps not in our experience. So, something can and cannot be.
What gnu babble you do speak. It doesn't matter how many dimensions we live in(it's three by the way) Logic applies to all of them and in none of them can something be and not be.
Again, we are not our bodies. We are not our intellectual functions. We are ultimately – pure consciousness.
Kind-of basic stuff. Plus, philosophically, there is no external in our external reality. EVERYTHING is within us.
After revisiting my response above I realize that unless an individual enters into a state of deep philosophical understanding you cannot realize that we are nothing but pure consciousness and everything is within us. There is no real way that I think you will be able to understand. This is a deep philosophical realisation.
No, it's a bunch of gnu nonsense based upon a mish-mash of new-age wishful thinking, half-arsed eastern mysticism and freudian psycho-babble and a lost theism. Idealism has been a position in Philosophy but if what you say is true then all your other posts show how this is not an actual belief of yours as apparently you can do nothing to change this reality that is not external even tho' it is all internal!?
This is just a rephrasing of your tightly held beliefs #3 & #4.
And your reply confirms my belief.
You ARE repeating yourself.
I repeat, your reply confirms my belief.
I think you are tripping yourself up with grammar that touches upon being a double negative or just a flat-out play upon words. Think about this and then revisit some of my deep philosophical responses to your earlier questions within this list of seven.
You have given no 'deep philosophical responses'. Your mistake is that you fail to understand the relationship between words, thoughts, Logic and reality. As such you believe contradictions to be true and tautologies to be false which goes a long way in explaining you.
* Life Pro Tip: Try to focus your attention within. Don't try immediately to put words to your state. Just be.
And yet this has got you nowhere but empty, 'depressed' and unconscious on the locker-room floor?
Thanks to NLP I can produce a state where there is no internal voice, can you?
Hope this thread will help you focus and feel better about yourself in the future! [/size]
You're mistaken, I do not feel bad about myself but it's exactly this nasty type of psychological manipulation that marks you out for what you are, a prize gnu indeed. Thank goodness you're an incompetent one.
