Re: Another view of Consciousness
waechter418: To Homo the awareness of ConsciousNess is natural, particularly to those living in harmony with Gaia – whereas Sapiens spins ever more psychological, neurological and philosophical theories about ConsciousNess, thus demonstrating his increasing alienation and confusion. How do you reco...

Re: Why jump through hoops to defend determinism?
Diebert: In the end, to answer the topic question: why have any conversation at all, even centered around logical reasoning? Any reply would answer as well the earlier question. Because a conversation about the logic of the totality of causality is the way to break the delusion/illusion of the noti...

Re: Why jump through hoops to defend determinism?
Diebert: The value of the idea of (hard) determinism shows itself especially when addressing magical entities: a soul, a creator, free will as main decider of our life choices, sin, big regrets and so on. It's not meant to prop up a cosmology of Russian dolls but it does reflect the higher notion o...

Re: The path to wisdom in a nutshell
Going beyond relativism is the purpose for pursuing ones identity in 'That' which has no name, thought, feeling, or concept knowable to man, but is the reality of reality. Reality is life beyond relativism, and your presence defines that life. Your life does not move, it is concretized in the onene...

Re: The path to wisdom in a nutshell
To believe relativism's variety preaches truth over precise individual experience, of just one occurrence, is man's self produced disorder, and a dance with the devil, especially when resistance, by words, lack comprehension of Spirit's identity. When one states a first step to understanding that t...

Re: The path to wisdom in a nutshell
The more we talk about wisdom the more we reveal our ignorance for what we don’t know is the path to wisdom is also the path to ignorance. So, where do we go from here? Any suggestions? The path of wisdom is related to the path of ignorance, however, the path of wisdom is not the path of ignorance....

Re: The world of greed, lies and deception
Our interpretation of knowing and believing are different. While I might believe I know God and Satan are opposing metaphysical entities (to use your example from another thread), when I awaken to spirit wisdom, I come to know (experientially/directly/intimately) that that the dualism of God AND Sat...

Pam, your opening words are the keynote of this fable A story to inspire questioning what is true. The gist of the conversation, then, does not fall upon perspectives.

Re: Notions of 'objective reality' that keep me troubled - temporal events
For me, these thoughts of objective existence are a tad troubling, and I find myself on unsteady ground when such questions are directed to me either by myself or typical empiricists or whatever.

The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein its shame. A story to inspire questioning what is true.

Re: God as Meaning Maker - Herman Dooyeweerd
Diebert: After looking at just the summaries of Dooyeweerd's work, I do believe the most interesting is not what he suggests (as in theosophy many systems and organizations of mind were proposed at the time) but the motive of doing so, like with the Calvinist reason to stress sphere sovereignty.

Re: some snippets of Kierkegaard
Is there a tacit admission here that ideally one ought to marry one's ideation of 'the true God' (via reasoning about causality as interdependence, and the formlessness of Reality) with a 'passion of infinity'? The interdependence of causality IS the passion of infinity when known as such by the in...

Re: Flakes and Jackasses
So it is not a matter of any view on life being skewed (such an idea would indeed cause suffering), rather, it is a matter of a lapse of ignorance of the infinite Self (for lack of a better term), which when acknowledged, releases the tension or stress (the suffering) of view-as-shadow. It seems mi...
