Also it is common knowledge that the Al-queda organization proudly took responsibility for the attack after it occurred Not-so common knowledge that Osama bin Laden denied responsibility, and that the supposed confession tape found in Jalalabad on December 9, 2001 was fake . " I was not involv...

I tend to think it more likely that small fires took down a skyscraper then the alternative of a massive conspiracy taking place. Incidentally, I don't think it was small fires that took down WTC 7, given that the south side of the building looks pretty f**ked given the amount of smoke billowing fr...

I do believe that WTC 7 was demolished for reasons of national security. Until you learn that it takes weeks to plan and rig a building of that size for controlled demolition. WTC7 fell seven hours after the twin towers. There were fires on several floors. To have rigged the building that afternoon...

Having come to terms with the fact that Zionists carried out the 9/11 attacks (beyond any reasonable doubt when one looks into it), I am finding the deeper implications of what this means rather mind-boggling. http://www.iamthewitness.com/ is worth a visit. Excerpted from The Rosenthal Document : Co...

There is only the physical.The mental and its invention, 'the spiritual', are illusions.To include them in the totality of awareness is an error. The physical is equally an illusion; but all three are conceptually real. Illusory ideas are no less a part of the totality of awareness than real ones. ...

You are making the assumption that conciouness is apart from the physical form? Can you be aware of the universe sans the chemical reactions of the brain that we recognise as awareness? I think therfore I am? Our friend is not using the word 'consciousness' in that sense, but inclusive of that sens...

The causes of consciousness do not change :) That would mean you'd never sleep. Sleep, as a "mini-death", is never experienced, therefore it does not exist. You are no more unconscious during deep sleep as you were during, for example, the last five billion years since the formation the s...

You are making the assumption that conciouness is apart from the physical form? All forms - whether physical, mental, or spiritual - are parts of consciousness/awareness, and consciousness does not exist apart from its forms. Can you be aware of the universe sans the chemical reactions of the brain...

Because Reality never changes.

The as it is, yes, but for consciousness to be eternal, it would have to causeless.

The causes of consciousness do not change. Therefore, consciousness does not change.

kowtaaia wrote:Is this consciousness that you speak of, caused?

Yes: consciousness is caused to exist.

Only the causes within consciousness can be known. The cause beyond consciousness is neither existent nor non-existent, yet absolutely real.

There is no death. Without death, neither can there be life - these are mere distictions of state - transformations of states of being. In a way, everything is as much as it is not - the self is not, yet as a construct of convenience for referencing, the self is. It is the attachment to the constru...

Consciousness can never be extinguished - absence of consciousness is impossible. There is just a permanent, unchanging, immediate state of consciousness. It is "eternally now" for every conscious entity, and at every moment of its existence. There is no entity that is conscious. Quite ri...

What does "one's construct of consciousness" mean? The construct of consciousness is everything whatsoever that one is aware of: perceptions (of form, change, space, time), sensations, memories (immediate, short-term, long-term), imagination, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and anything els...

Is it the simultaneous seizing of vital functions and becoming unconscious in body and soul all at the same time? Could it be that we have already had past lives, living and dying not to remember one from the other. There is no soul (i.e. inherently existent entity) to maintain any continuity from ...

There is no soul (i.e. inherently existent entity) to maintain any continuity from one moment to the next, let alone from one life to another. You state that with such certainty. are you attached to the idea that there is no soul? I'm attached to Truth, and it is a certain truth that there is no se...

Your greater self is, in a real sense, born as every individual conscious entity, but you are unique in being the only one who has your own identity. That's a very good point, but inaccurately expressed. The phenomenon of character is always the same. Only characteristics are different. Only charac...
