What are the bare bones of reality? You know what I mean, so just stick with the question, please.

Re: Bare Bones of Reality.
Bare bones? Reality doesn't have bones, bare or otherwise. But try thinking about causality in the sense of things being dependent on each other for their very thingness. That is, would any thing be recognizable as what it is if it wasn't relative to what it isn't? Look at a thing and tell me where it begins and ends....

Re: Bare Bones of Reality.
I've gotten to the point where I can sense the wisdom, but I cannot yet take it in for whatever the hell you are saying! Please, provide a few examples, next time.
Wonder-full.
Some help...?
Or...
It begins its life when it's born and it ends when my father shoots it and declares: "This will be perfect for our washroom!"
Some help
I walk into my washroom and there's a comb staring at me. Just laying there, chilling, on the bathroom sink. While droplets of water rhythmically fall from above, splattering on its slick purple surface: plop... plop...plop...plop...PLOP! The sounds starts to really bug me, distracting me from the confusion of this strange object. After I tighten the hands, the faucet stops leaking, "as expected". I pick up this comb and give it a good shake and quickly put it onto my ear. Nothing. I sniff it. Nothing, except for the foul smell of a recently flushed turd...Ugh. Now, I've never seen this thing in my life, nor had I any previous experience of this (through reading, picture and so on). I know what it isn't. For instance, it's not a toothbrush, nor is it a hair-dryer. I know this, because I've had previous experience with those other things. So, this "comb" is recognized as something foreign... Extraterrestrial. This however, doesn't tell me anything about the "comb". So, what now? I know what it isn't, but I don't know what it is! I guess what I need to do now, is experiment with it (through, cause and effect)... After an hour, I still don't no what it's for. Though I found it useful, when it comes to relieving my itchy back.That is, would any thing be recognizable as what it is if it wasn't relative to what it isn't?
Wonder-full.
A crocodile, begins at the at the nose and ends at the tip of the tail. Another "thing" from my washroom.Look at a thing and tell me where it begins and ends....

Re: Bare Bones of Reality.
I think you guys are being just a tad unfair expecting someone to figure out such an abstract truth on his own from just a summary of it.

Re: Bare Bones of Reality.
Exactly, Mr. Gregory's got a hole in one, on that one!
The question should be, how does all this help me?

In response, I wrote metaphorically...I mean, what the hell am I supposed to understand from Mr. Rowdens reply? Abstract ideas, for example: evil. It's made up. It's an invention of the mind, which tries to explain a series of common "things"...Negativity, something which I'm feeling quite intensely on this forum. Seriously, give me a bone, will ya!Bare bones? Reality doesn't have bones, bare or otherwise.

Why do you not help me (at least try to, even if I do seem like a lost cause) understand this; instead of making your superiority known, at the expense of hurting my feelings. Thanks a lot. Or, do you simply like collecting posts: 607, not bad!Ralph,

Okay, i wake up in the morning. Take a leak. Look in the mirror to make sure i'm really here. Drink a couple glasses of water. Brew some coffee. Power up the Internet machine. Guzzle a potent couple cups of coffee while scanning the news threads. Shower, trim the beard - after the hair and beard are thoroughly dried, that is. Check for any new gray (white) hairs, wrinkles etc. Try to stay upbeat. Get dressed (hug the girlfriend & then kiss the kid goodbye... and commute to my business.

After getting to work and greeting those who (acknowledge me) are in the way at that timespan of reality.
From there, till the end of the workday, it is not true reality, but gotta support living in America. Have a lifestyle to tend to.
End of work, say goodbye to all those who see (acknowledge) me and out the door and hop in car for the evening grind of traffic.
Stop at a place i volunteer, do the motions of serving soup, sitting down and breaking bread with the "less fortunate?" - cleaning, whatever needs to be completed for those truly in dire straits.
Most of the time, i'm a lot more positive about humankind, but a few times it is a bummer.
Arrive back "home" (whatever that concept is all about), hug the girlfriend of 40-years.
Kiss the daughter that she made it home from school safely.
Listen to the girlfriend relate her day (for 20 minutes about) then, hit the Internet for a half hour or so.
Walk to the backyard and b-s with the neighbors for a half hour or so. (we have a special, gathering spot)
Go back in, keep the girlfriend happy.
Take a shower, turn in, and count my lucky stars that tomorrow will be even better.

No, I've never read it, nor have I seen the movie. Though, I heard it is a comedy:)"The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy."

Carl G, why are you spamming my thread? Oh, crap! I do the same thing, sometimes. So, what? Does that mean, if I punch someone, do you have the right to punch me? No. Did I spam on your thread?
Carl G, it's time to ring that little bell. So, the nurses -- at the old folks home -- may change that diaper...
Tomas, Is it true you're are a real Vietnam Veteran? Thats really cool. I had a great, grandfather who died in WW1. Lucky you!
Although, I appreciate your post. I'm not exactly sure of what you're getting at...I'm a newbie.

Sent with unit to do some killing, ending up a few weeks later with being hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. Lost the left eye, two ribs on the left side, left lung, and left kidney.

A (very close) childhood friend of mine, David, wanted me to sign up and go to VietNam and kill the teenage boys... so they wouldn't come over here and kill us.
I was the lucky one he asked to drive him to the bus depot (-his going away party was surreal in and of itself-) told him i didn't think we would ever see each other again, gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek and said our goodbyes... he had the saddest look i've ever seen on anyones' face - ever.
The day he landed in VietNam was the day he died.

Re: Bare Bones of Reality.
Ralph,
A true tale, bought to you by Steve.
While back, I was sitting on the back step. Looking around, when I noticed two lunar eclipses shown in my mind's eye. Thought to myself, hmmm. Then this kid named Ralph shows up on GF. Well, I noticed your reference to a lunar eclipse last night following one of my posts. And low and behold, last night I awoke to a lunar eclipse. This was after I experienced a dream where some good things happened. After waking up a bit, some voices in the night were speaking to me about the Void. (The source of your radio). A man named Huang Po coined a phrase, "The Void is your own Mind." Maybe learning some more about it will help out.

Re: Bare Bones of Reality.
Whatever we might want to give that label to. I'd say it's whatever I experience without interpretation. As, really, isn't "interpretation" just another label for a seemingly related group of experience anyways?What are the bare bones of reality?
(I'd appreciate it if someone would tell me if I'm being utterly incoherent here.)
Edit: We could also say that reality consists in states of affairs, and that since there is nothing beyond them, they are the "bare bones" of it. Or maybe reality just consists of the letter r, the letter e, the letter a, the letter l, the letter i, the letter t, and the letter y (and the corresponding phonemes of course). It all depends on how you want to look at it.
