Perceptual Reality
[1.] An individual mind can only experience reality via its own unique sphere of perception or "perceptual bubble". [2.] The individual perceptual sphere contains the perceptions of the individual mind, therefore the perceptual sphere is a type of set. [3.] A thing that exists can only be ...

Ontological Perception
Conceptually speaking, from a purely materialistic standpoint, "objective reality" seems true enough, that we should not question it; but in truth, our objective realities are merely virtual reality creations of the mind and are actually subjective reflections, or shadows, of an ostensible...

Re: NURSERY RHYME
Round and round the garden Like a teddy bear One step Two step And a tickly under there! Treebeard: Hobbits? Never heard of a Hobbit before. Sounds like Orc mischief to me. They come with fire, they come with axes. Gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning. Destroyers and usurpers. Curse them!

If time is infinite then causality goes infinitely into the past and infinitely into the future. That means the universe is also spatially infinite but all observations point towards a finite universe. There are several paradoxes associated with infinite spacetime also. I hope you can answer them wi...

Re: Free will
We make choices – some trivial, such as to buy a newspaper; others, rather more consequential, such as to buy a home, or to get married, or to go to university, etc. – but these choices are not forced upon us by the laws of nature. It is a law of nature that the past determines the present. The...

[Infinite variables] = [free will]Diebert van Rhijn wrote: Of course determinism doesn't mean that 'everything is predictable'. How could one calculate infinite variables? Real life calculations always approximate answers, models them for this reason, since even randomness obeys some invariable laws.

Re: Accident
The potential for a thing to exist is either an accident or it is caused. Since all accidents are caused, there is no difference. http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/accident Logic: A circumstance or attribute that is not essential to the nature of something.

Is a forest fire caused by the wood which is being consumed or is it caused by something else? A forest fire is an event, or more correctly, a sequence OF events. When one event intersects with another, for example, a rock falls and sparks are generated, it forms a sequence with other past[and futu...

Nothing has changed with this new formulation. The same basic problem remains. You are simply assuming that the cohesiveness of Reality requires sentience or mind. There is no evidence for this. It could just as easily be caused by something else. You're basically stating that cohesion and order re...

[1.] Everything *within* reality, is self referential and also relational. Things relate to other things, e.g. [A or not-A], as well as being self referring, e.g. [A=A]. [2.] The totality of all that exists can only refer to itself [A=A] because there is no outside reference. [3.] Because the totali...

Your argument starts off well, but begins to unravel at point 4. There is no compelling reason to link the cohesive unity of Reality with the concept of mind or the concept of a conscious God. This is true. point 4 needs to elaborate on how the coherent unity of the totality is essentially the same...
