Re: the unending pursuit
the "suppressed anger", "negativity" and "hatefulness", as you rightly question, are again more applicable to David. Not that I've seen. In the context of much lighter versions of those emotions, Dan maybe a little bit in the tone he uses, but even that sort of complim...

Re: On consciousness
In any way, don't you always have something to lose, and something you possess, something you can't afford to lose? Thats my view on the issue. I kind of look at this enlightenment business as just rearranging the way one views the self. Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs one moves up the levels unt...

Re: Introducing Not God
Nothing only exists in mathemetics and lingustics ie it is an abstract with no basis in reality. Nor do negative numbers for that matter. It just represents an absence of a direct causal duality or reality. As nothingness cannot be caused it cannot exist. It has no attributes for causality to work w...

Re: Introducing Not God
[If A is everything, where does not-A exist?] Not-A is the future that the present and past MUST grow into. Time is infinite, and if something is infinite then it must always be. If it must always be then the future must always occur and thus it can be referred to as existing as it cannot be otherwi...

Re: Osho - Comparing Buddha And Jesus
Alex, One recognizes, immediately, the logical imperatives that you are using. To propose a 'historical man' (a preacher, a sage, a troublesome thinker) one has to place him in a truly human frame, and for you, above, that is youthful impetuousness.....it is part of the basis of Western culture and ...

Re: Osho - Comparing Buddha And Jesus
Osho seems correct to me. (10) Jesus said, "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes." These are the words of a young man. He is revelling in being a catalyst. He still has the hero desire and wants to see results/outcomes brought about by his own actions....

A belated Evil post I also reacted to Lairds statement at the time, and I'm repeating a few things others have said here…but so what.

Heidegger I doubt I'll ever attempt to read Heidegger. His words do nothing at for me. Perhaps my IQ is simply insufficient, it is certainly a factor, but I don't like any post-nietzsche western philosophers at all. They just rabbit on and on about what seems like nothing to me. Surely they could ha...

Re: What is reality, what is a 2x4?
There are some who say that, ultimately, all evil will be reconciled with divinity, and that even those who now practice evil are of divine origin. It would be comforting to know that this were true, but even if it is, it leaves open the question of how and why the demonic originated, and why divin...
