GENIUS FORUMS

<t>Because, by definition, an uncaused event arises without the help of any preceding causal conditions, which means that any factors that could regulate its appearance or behaviour would be absent. <br/> <br/> Uncausality, by its very nature, has the complete freedom to choose from the entire infin...

<t>Barnaby wrote:<br/> <br/> Quote:Quote:<hr> As this book seems to be intended for the spiritual student, may I recommend a more gradual introduction to the topic?

<t>DEL wrote:<br/> <br/> Quote:Quote:<hr> When you are ready you will declare part one of your book complete, perfectly logical and absolute. You will be convinced beyond question. <hr> Idea-wise, part one is complete, perfectly logical and absolute. My only concern was its readibility.</t>

In other words, your outlook is causing you to be aimless.

<t>Rairun wrote:<br/> <br/> Quote:Quote:<hr> I agree with Notsure. While most of your ideas are logical, you fail to understand that the "path" you describe is yours alone.

<t>Thomas,<br/> <br/> Your response was very predictable and uninspired. I already knew, when writing the book, that it would have no impact upon you or your kind. This sort of philosophizing will always fly over your head. <br/> <br/> The mean reason why I didn't venture very far into the academic ...

<r>Hello everyone,<br/> <br/> I have decided to release the first part of my book on the net, partly for some feedback and partly to maintain a presence on the forum while I finish the rest of the book.
