Re: What is Love? Or did we do this before?
Angelina Jolie is a monster, both in films and from what I read in the tabloids that I devour, she is a menace to society and should probably be locked up somewhere. I hate her lips. It looks like she was trying to give a blowjob to an industrial vacuum cleaner. You don't take anything you read in ...

Re: What is Love? Or did we do this before?
The attachment grew gradually smaller as time elapsed, until it got to almost zero. You were not getting the positive effects of love that I talked about earlier in this thread, so the attachment part could not survive forever. Attachment goes hand in hand with the chemical stuff, like what your bo...

Re: What is Love? Or did we do this before?
The love did not die or go anywhere. Where has the attachment been? Where is it now? Let us assume that your lover has an affair with another man and falls in love with him. Let us also assume that you find out. Then we will be able to see how your attachment manifests itself. You are not answering...

Re: A Simple Question
The cause IS the past. The effect IS the present.
Since every effect is also a cause, the present continually becomes amended to the past. The future lies in the past, and seems to be a mystery only because of the organism's inability to grasp the fullness of the causes which create it.

Re: What is Love? Or did we do this before?
It's free. No debts. The price is attachment. Without attachment, there is no love. But how does attachment manifest itself? Let me take a step back and return to why I started this thread. It may be that love itself is not an emotion, and that attachment is the emotion that love can predicate. In ...

I'm surprised by your response, you come up with this example and criticism of A=A with Venus and skirt past my own example.

Re: God???
What I am trying to do is to indicate what I see as the extremely limited usefulness the concept of Totality provides. It is virtually useless in any possible way, by its own definition. Nothing can be said about it or gleaned from it that is particularly useful. To say a thing A is part of the Tota...

I disagree. I need to know what God is, and what he's not. My ego demands it, it wants certainty. Now that I have an answer, I can let God live my life. Yet you want to equate God with the Totality, and we have decided it neither exists and nor does not exist. So how can you know what the Totality ...

But certainty is the biggest delusion of them all, Robert. Surely this must be obvious to you. Certainty is entirely possible. A=A is the perfect example. Truth in action.

Any reasoning on the nature of these Gods we're imagining will be wishful by definition, since we have no evidence (empirical or metaphysical) that they nothing more than fantasy and delusion.

Re: God???
Yeah, I mean how when we reason about anything (which must by definition be part of the Totality), we're automatically doing A=A. From this basis, we can learn what's true and what's false. No argument there. But that is not saying anything about the Totality as the Totality. The way I see it A=A m...

Re: God???
But surely through truthful reasoning about the nature of (the uniqueness of) the Totality we can reach meaningful conclusions? A=A being one of them, no? I do not understand how A=A is a meaningful conclusion about the Totality. Are you saying that your understanding of God as being different from...

Obviously, we can't fully experience it in it's entirety, that isn't possible, but then can we fully experience anything in it's entirety?

I think the point of most exercise is trying to attain something you cannot, that is, having a goal that is beyond your reach and trying repeatedly to attain it.

I don't see how you can't apprehend the Totality. Isn't that the point? Isn't that the whole exercise of trying to attain an apprehension of ultimate reality? Making this synonymous with God is wholly logical in my view. Anything less, and you divide God into something finite and lacking, or not de...
