Re: Mind and Matter

this is mere supposition only if it presupposses that we are but automata. this is what happens: Nature creates and is manifoldly re-creative - a dual concurrent production of replicas. body not only creates body but mind also; ego and soul replicate themselves as our own. indeed, God recreates the ...

Re: Dali on Freud : Dali vs Freud

yes, there must be loads of fakes around. Dali was a hype, the paintings were 'different'. from the 50's on, imposters were making loads and loads of cash. famous figures were taken of the originals and just thrown on a sheet with a new combination. easy.

Re: Dali on Freud : Dali vs Freud

Truly, trying to find ‘the’ unconscious is like trying to hold a piece of empty space in your hand. It just does not exist in such a fashion. Therefore, when you (collective) think that the unconscious can be “driven out…never to return,”---well, the metaphor and irony in such a statement...

It's completely meaningless to assert that existence is "alogical". I mean, what? What could that possibly mean! It can't refer to anything experienced because logic is built out of the very fundaments of experience. alogical to any 'logic' we know... in our relation to Cosmos, if signifi...

'like' first recognized differences and then likenesses. the emotional contact gave effusion which helped us to see interrelationships everywhere and - the inducement to new likenesses in what would have been unlikely.
