Re: What's the Point of Religion?
I'm enrolled in the Quinn view of nondiscrimination ultimately.
I can't see any brokenness unless my preference, aversion, prejudice turns on as judge and jury.
conditioning.
My business is the space between my ears.
I'm embodied,
like an astronaut in a space suit.
I'm encultured,
with a bunch of astronauts in their spacesuits.
I'm enactive
I'm affective
I'm extended
I'm dependent arising.
it is what it is and it isn't what it isn't.

Re: What's the Point of Religion?
Well I think you can see the truth that, despite what you can see, there is delusion and attachment showing itself in many ways. Whether there is ultimately any intrinsic meaning to it or not, it's there.

The moment you, your consciousness, lands on anything, there will be discrimination. You'll have to be aware, exact and move on at the right time.Dennis Mahar wrote:I'm embodied, like an astronaut in a space suit.

It's an art, it's a way, it's a truth. Rocket science needs full attention if you want to get it up and bridge the gap, it remains a challenge. There's no easy only mastery.

Climax. And without my knickers.Den to L: I wasn't suggesting that.
Down at a philosophy school years ago I saw Nietzsche freaks swooning maids with devastating Nietzschean rhetoric that got them laid.
Nietzsche as a means to an end.
to what end?

You're a knock-out Leyla!
send me the pillow you dream on.
Diebert,
The only possibility for mastery is if dependent arising is the case.
can we have the master's thesis?

I feel as though I should contribute to this "discussion", but I frankly don't know how. It's almost as if I'd have to have another stroke to fit in.

Re: What's the Point of Religion?
Well, Dan, there was a brief moment I was under the impression I was discussing Nietzsche's philosophy with someone, but apparently I was just getting laid without my knowledge!

Diebert,
He assembled his people and informed them of his decision to die.
Shortly thereafter he put a pistol to his head as a means to an end and pulled the trigger.
Is that mastery?
Weininger suffered congenital depression and the black dog wore him down.The moment you, your consciousness, lands on anything, there will be discrimination. You'll have to be aware, exact and move on at the right time.

Re: What's the Point of Religion?
So why do you bring up Weiniger, fin de siècle Vienna and before that Nietzsche's knickers? Do you think mastery has something to do with living, eating, fucking, dying more successfully? In the end a great tombstone with flowers? People's faint praise: he was such a good man! Is that mastery?Dennis Mahar wrote:Shortly thereafter he put a pistol to his head as a means to an end and pulled the trigger. Is that mastery?

For the sake of actual record, it bloody-well was not, I was discussing Nietzsche and Marx. The knickers were introduced by you, after the suggestion"size does matter" (also not introduced by me).

Re: What's the Point of Religion?
I believe I recall you using it whilst doing a number on seeker.
It's part of your repertoire ain't it.
very familiar.
a desperate dash for the high moral ground doesn't count
does it mean anything until somebody gets on board and pumps it up?
that's the point.

Re: What's the Point of Religion?
To the Anti-QRSt:
Then there’s something wrong with you attention to detail.I believe I recall you using it whilst doing a number on seeker.
Nope. Never use it.It's part of your repertoire ain't it.
So, it must've been me? Not sure how that follows.very familiar.
What moral high ground?a desperate dash for the high moral ground doesn't count
So the point now is that something isn't what it is and is what it isn't?does it mean anything until somebody gets on board and pumps it up?
that's the point.

it is what it is and isn't what it isn't.So the point now is that something isn't what it is and is what it isn't?
can't be otherwise.
finding enlightenment is finding nothing
absence of meaning
you make the meaning.

Re: What's the Point of Religion?
Yes, just ignore the is-ness and is-not-ness of all its whilst demonstrating you have no capacity to discern what some it is and what it isn't.

Enlightenment.
Wisdom.
Truth.
