GENIUS FORUMS

Perhaps this will clarify this containment issue: I once read a definition of God (Totality, Infinite) as. 'Having its center everywhere and circumference nowhere."

I was thinking about the possibility of time travel recently, and as time goes by I'm becoming less open to the idea. Knowing time is our own subjective measurement of change, and that The All is right here and now, there is actually no past or future to travel to. Thus, the idea that time travel i...

What do you think? That's what's so tricky about the empirical world when you start to look at cause and effect. The only conclusion one can arrive at with certainty is to know the thing is caused (at the very least it is caused to appear to our mind), as to what thing is the predominant cause of a...

All is empty, who manipulates what? Who and what don't even apply.

Diebert writes: Pye, it might also show the simpler fact that postmodernism is very hard to capture, it even wants to evade capturing, "true" to its post-form. Well, yes, I rather think this was one of the thrusts of my initial post . . . . :) It's the wholesale dismissal - like all categ...

Words and labels are tools at best. Once the tools have been used to dismantle the thought-constructed reality, revealing things as relative, one finds all words and forms to be fundamentally arbitrary, that is the importance of their signifying attributes are found to be arbitrary, and mutually con...

The Camel represents the taking on of the apparent burden of a Truthful existence, representing a sort of dark night of the soul where all things toiling and heavy are taken on. The water of life that is truth will sustain the Camel through the barren land of finitude which has been sucked dry of th...

The Thing is having an identity crisis. Man, woman... it? I think it's more than that, with the Thing's overly masculine tough guy exterior, it looks to me that masculinity is being equated and relegated by the subconscious to helplessly rage against the ugliness and finality of finitude. He's cons...

been utterly dismissed by the scientific community Good reason to think there may be something to it, then. The very act of being hypnotized is to submit your will before another's, and is consequently unreliable. Unreliable and dismissable are two very different things. Gee, it couldn't be that it...

Does "Neti,neti" arise spontaneously in the mind? At least at first, it must not. It seems to me that in order for it to be effective, issuing the neti, neti when a thought begins to arise requires at the very least the thought itself, the neti-neti response, and the issuer of that respon...

The Hindu sages would exclude thingness and prevent attachment to it from their mind through the process of 'neti, neti' (not this, not this), henceforth "the process". By rejecting every thought that came to mind they sought to realize Enlightenment. If not repeated verbally or mentally, ...

From Wikipedia, Gospel of Thomas: While most people in this material world, according to this ancient belief, are lifeless, soulless beings (little more than animated corpses) created to serve the Lion and his rulers; a few people are actually spiritual beings in disguise.[citation needed] These ch...

. Makes one wonder about hypnotic regression into childhood memories though. Last I heard, at least regarding hypnotic regression into memories about alien abduction, for instance, is that they have been utterly dismissed by the scientific community for the unreliability of the chosen method. The v...

It's past my bed time, but before I go, |read|, how did you arrive at axioms being "alogical"? I think that's a misnomer. An axiom isn't without logic or logical components, but rather is the logical conclusion of the application of the Law of Identity (A=A).

Something Trevor said in the other thread about you having abnormal values, and taking insanity as the compliment that it is. There's nothing like wasted or misused insanity.

Paco, unless you've got something to add to this or you can relate your post in a meaningful way to the purpose of this forum, I wouldn't waste any more time with them. These kind of pointless posts don't belong here. I'm only attempting to incorporate what I've learned over the years. In doing so ...

Serial killers might believe more firmly in the inherent existence of things than the average person does. I have often seen that most serial killers do not, in fact, view their victims as humans, as individuals, as egos, but rather as things . Perhaps it is through the apparent infinitude of emoti...

Evil: a thing, and as such does not ultimately exist (see: imaginary). I don't see the concept of evil as a useful tool in the higher functions of wisdom. It is only useful for those more unconscious than conscious, and even then it is a dangerous plaything of the masses; it all too easily becomes t...

What exactly was it that you couldn't deal with?

Something about a spoon never tasting the soup no matter how long they are together in a bowl, just so an ignorant person will never benefit from the wisdom of a wise man no matter how much they associate.

|read| said "can be" not "will be." Basically it depends on how the person goes about seeking help. If they disclose to their mental health counselor that they need treatment for addiction, the counselor will not send them to prison. If they call 911, which they might well do wh...

As with most of TSZ, I think Nietzsche was being metaphorical when speaking about warring. Yes and no. If I would channel Nietzsche I'd say that military warfare is just a metaphor for deeper, more hidden and "real" struggles and issues that a human life generates. War then becoming the s...
