Re: A God Argument
You fail to grasp the nature of the pattern of existence, and a critical axiom there of. You will not get instruction (a correction)* because you post faulty arguments, based on faulty assumptions. *There is no debate on this. There is a correct answer, and all those that are not. You do not know, ...

A God Argument
The following is an argument that I posted on youtube requesting the response of an atheist. It's not exactly the language I would use here, it pretty much assumes a scientific materialist perspective from the outset. Critics are welcome. A. The laws of nature are specifically aligned to allow for t...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed
Take a peek at what David said in another thread. as soon as the mind starts to create and perceive divisions in Nature (e.g. things or events), cause and effect immediately becomes a reality. In other words: No things = no cause and effect = beginninglessness and endlessness. Things = cause and ef...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed
Dennis, Solipsist is a label. It may or may not be that labels correspond to objects. That's the question in this topic. Do labels, mental or linguistic, correspond to objects? I can never prove that they do, I can never prove that they don't. It is the very fundamental epistemological limitation. B...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed
The fact is - there is nothing outside of your consciousness and it is you making all boundaries in the universe. Then you are a solipsist. I didn't claim that I was disproving solipsism, just proving that differentiated existence is coextensive with logic. If logic is universal then there is a uni...

You would not be able to say this if you answered, at the least, 25% of my questions. Like most, you ignore the critical questions (especially the ones I posed to you in previous posts) and continue to accept only the evidence that bolsters your world view. I don't like getting into the strategy of...

Can we substitute the phrase 'mother of all algorithms' with the word 'rosary' and substitute 'little algorithms' with 'beads on a string'. Now we have, Rosary and beads on a string. effectively it's the same object, because we have a 'whole and parts' condition. we must be very clear concerning th...

And I can create realities within myself I did it this morning. It may be that you're using the word create differently then I would. Instead of creating I would say we witness the unfolding of being into perception. To create is to cause, to cause is to change, to change requires time. It seems th...

NL2G, We aren't our thoughts or senses but experience these and have confused them for our Self. Our Self is actually a conscious awareness that isn't bound to this physical experience but can enter the realm of the non-physical awareness which pervades all things. We even have the divine potential ...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed
Yes of course; only the totality of one big algorithm is responsible for all things. How do we know that? Our mind that is contained by consciousness told us so. Don't worry if your mind wanders. It won't get far. Logic is either false, in which case the world cannot be explained. Or logic is true,...

While there is ego there is desire. There's no getting around that. Transcending the ego is the only way for desire to cease; desire and ego are two sides of the same page of paper.

I just put up a video outlining why I believe that academic philosophy is a joke.

Ultimately, Being is. what do you mean by that? do we have a Parent? where's the evidence? Does being exist? That question brings being into being.
