xero, A given thing exists or it doesn't. Any concept that is transcendental is not a thing, and describing such in terms of existence or non-existence is meaningless. For instance, the transcendental concept of "causality" applies to all of existence, but causality does not exist (nor do...

Paradox of transcendence

If transcendence is having no boundary conditions then can it even exist if to exist is to have the boundary conditions of existence.

A given thing exists or it doesn't.

Hypothesis: Cell Phone Usage Increases As Enlightenment

Decreases in any given individual. I just can't imagine an enlightened sage with a bluetooth in his ear. There's a woman on this trail where I run who has a cell phone glued to her head every day and the whole time her mouth is moving. I can only imagine the poor soul who has to listen to the incess...

In the same way that Unenlightened and Fit Cardiovascularly might be possible. You see, that's where you're wrong. A person may be physically fit as an animal might be fit and yet be as unenlightened as an animal, however a truly enlightened person knows how to control the physical. That's why the ...

A = A - Interesting That This "Law of Identity"

is not Aristotle's.

He never said it in any form.

So much like all these phrases we have in the USA with regard to quotations from "Ben Franklin". Who knows if he said any of these things.

I saw Salman Rusdie speak recently at the PEN center

and thought the same thing regarding the idea of God being beyond all that is human (including language) in his reference to the same and was reminded of T.Chardin's remark that to say "God exists" is as atheistic as to say "God does not exist". Even so later on it seemed that SR...

"God" and Atheism

I can thank Dan for this thought.

The truth is that the east and the west will disappear. Evil is predictable because evil abandons free will to the grooves of habit. These grooves mean that things will continue as they have been. A global environmental disaster will press the populace to give their power to the UN and the UN will f...

Sad?

MK, you've presumed a gestalt like an emotion can be expressed in serial form. It is, by its very nature not bound by serial description.
