GENIUS FORUMS

Bobo: Hello bo1, I'm not so sure what you mean by 'all things', are they unique or there are things that repeat within the set? If, for example, someone had a box with 8 white balls numbered from 1 to 8 and if a ball is picked from the box, by looking at the numbers one could know which balls are in...

Seeker: ^Being, clinging, belief. Russell's statements about the inconceivable causes and 99% attachment to transient empirical appearances = clinging, belief. I know. If you actually tried to understand instead of you clinging to the belief you already do understand, we could avoid you talking to t...

Moving:

Been there, done that, with the only difference between us being that I woke up and realized that all that was happening was that I was thinking I was causing things.

Did you write this post?

seeker You didn't change all of physics. Who cares if you've seen non-ordinary events? There's no meta-mind of the universe, just some wondrous experiences during meditation you took too seriously. So you were there? I see; now you are the one who can transcend time and space, peer into the portals ...

Bobo: Somewhere in the brain? The distinctions we would have to make are between counscious , unconscious and not even conscious as parts of what we experience as events and other people's consciousness. There is a difference between mind, thought and consciousness. The hierarchy: Consciousness is t...

There's a funny thing about memories that sometimes they come in flashes and flushes. So if something like that happened with a memory of being in a baseball game for example for a moment a person wouldn't be counscious of have been conscious at the game. So it seems that things can be brought into...

Answer just one question. Meh, not interested. All you do is regurgitate the same set of questions over and over, and I'm sure the answers have been spelled out for you dozens of times, and can be found on the forum hundreds, if not thousands of times. Tell mr meta mind I said Hi. You are a hypocri...

Seeker: I think his meaning was just that perceived boundaries aren't imaginary things, otherwise we'd have to say that the entirety of consciousness was unreal in some way. He meant the exact opposite. I have discussed this with Diebert on many occasions. In order for cause and effect to be the ult...

>> Can there be a reality 'outside' of consciousness? Please, all the wise ones take a shot at this would ya? Why not, there are things that aren't thoughts which are located spatio-temporally on the 'outside', outside is just how we call it and the evidence for it is that it can be referred to wit...

Time does not ever occur in sequence. It is a form of optical illusion because all that ever is - is now. You decision effects both the future and the past. Now is the point and a point is infinite. Example: Any point has both the value of positive and negative infinity. Example: The double slit exp...

Consciousness is all you have known, are knowing and using a handy thing called logic, will know. All the abstract thinking about cause and effect (which is transpiring in consciousness) being the end all that is somehow outside of the reach of consciousness is but a thought. Where does this thought...

Diebert, I cannot determine ....[snip] That's all there is to it. You can't make up your mind with what you mean by senses, consciousness, totality or being. It's for you important to keep it that way as it maintains a largely emotional clinging to a form of self to worship, demonstrated over the y...

Diebert, I cannot determine if you do not have the mental capability of understanding, are intentionally obscuring and obfuscating or are just to brainwashed to see salient points when they are made.

Take care

Diebert: Are you dreaming by and through the five senses? The five senses are the issue. Well, stimuli are stimuli. You do see and hear things in your dreams? That's what for me senses mean but if you want to create (rather confusing ) distinctions between senses and sensory systems, then we'd be mi...

Diebert: Dreams do not change the issue at all! It only shows what we call senses seem to be perceptions based on some creative piecing together of memories, no matter the source of their activation. Are you dreaming by and through the five senses? The five senses are the issue. If you actually read...

David: It should be clear from the analysis I have presented that the concept of the Totality does not really refer to the three-dimensional physical universe imagined by most people to objectively exist. Rather, it refers to the totality of all appearances experienced by consciousness. Included in ...

This bears repeating from Cahoot: Thoughts and consciousness are distinct in that consciousness is separable from thought, but thought is not separable from consciousness. Consciousness without thought expands awareness in ways that do not require thought or gross sensory input. After a spontaneous ...

Diebert: You claimed consciousness would happily run on without any senses, without actual signals to process, brother. All I do is questioning that claim. Do you ever dream? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_deprivation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_tank And you are suggesting conscio...

Diebert: your consciousness would not be limited if you lost all five senses. You still experience a whole consciousness no matter the five senses That would be easy to test, no need to theorize! Try it for a few hours or more and come back to tell about what you experienced. At best a taste of empt...

Russell: B1: This was the point of the entire answer to David. Remember my analogy of the CD and the singularity? Since we do think most believe they can 'only be' their thought. This is to fail to answer the question - who is thinking? Russell: The thinker is thinking. The thinker is made of parts....

Dennis Mahar: You're trying to locate the source-of-form in the result of form BoI. Form is empty. I can tell from this one statement, you are not paying attention at all to what is being said. You are reinterpreting what is being said and you think that is what I said. It is what you are thinking I...

It just is not logical to say; I am one with the infinite but I am not.

Someone on this board, please snap out of it.

David: B1: If you want me to acknowledge that the mind appears, you must tell us where it appears. Where does the mind appear? David: Within the ALL. You said all things appear to the mind - then you wanted to assert that the mind appears. You say it appears within the ALL. Does the ALL perceive the...

Russell: Human consciousness being the product of trillions of cooperating cells proves that consciousness is an illusion. I am not really reading your post? If a robot was programmed to consciously distinguish all things into just two categories, A and B, and we removed it's capacity to recognize B...
