Re: Space.
Saying that things are interconnected is not the same as saying that things are essentially a featureless jello. Boundaries exist, but they are not absolute. There is certainly contrast - that is the basis of all discrimination. That is what fascinates me. How is this possible? If you take a look a...

Space.
Hello! Please take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yehN-WUr5rY Most spiritual people say there is no separation; that everything that appear separate aren't actually like independent entities but more like waves, which connects or fuses them with everything else seamlessly. Non-...

Re: relationships and ultimate reality
I adhere to scientific methodology. Science too is a belief, as the people who created this forum will tell you. Science is a set of beliefs that simply result in less conceotual dissonance and contradiction when investigating reality from higher illusory-like perspectives. Proper abstraction adher...

Re: relationships and ultimate reality
What it is constructed of, is material. I question this belief. My point is that when you assert a thing like this, you are still dealing in abstractions. You are not talking about Reality from an objective viewpoint completely free from personal bias. This is a natural due to our biological, socia...

Re: relationships and ultimate reality
Here you are not talking about the material (existents / existence). You are talking about abstracts. Let's take something material. How about the chair you're sitting on? Is not our conception of what a chair is completely arbitrary? What can we say about the chair? It is this big, and it has this...

Re: relationships and ultimate reality
1) There is no arbitrary concept of reality. A is A. A person understands or they do not (measure by degrees). Everything you say about Reality or anything else for that matter is arbitrary. The appearance on my keyboard which looks like this: " R " immediately causes your mind to think o...

Re: relationships and ultimate reality
You've claimed to be enlightened, therefore, you shouldn't see any need to be frustrated at others incapacity to understand whatever arbitrary concept of Reality which you are currently entertaining. Why? Because from the perspective of Reality, there are no rights and there are no wrongs. These are...

Re: relationships and ultimate reality
Thanks to everyone for their replies. It seems to me that there are three primary modes of social interaction left as a result of my analysis, with all of your help. The first is social interaction just for fun. The second is helping others in some way, no matter where they are on their path (ie, w...

Re: system of ethics based on realization of ultimate reality
I think it is nonetheless important to get as many people as possible wake from the nightmare of purely conventional thought. Of course! Morality and ethics are extremely important. Many people become confused because they think that just because something doesn't enjoy a status of inherent existen...

Re: system of ethics based on realization of ultimate reality
Hello, otiosedodge! Look into Reality right now. What can be changed? What needs to be made better? Right, nothing. In other words, Reality has nothing to do with morality. Morality belongs instead in the conventional realm, the realm of thought and concept. That is not to belittle morality and ethi...

Re: No Beginning.. no End!
The universe turns itself inside out! First you have the expansion, then it collapses, and then it pops out in the other direction. Now you have no beginning, and no end. A permanent loop! Say you swing a pendulum into motion. It will swing from one side to the other for a while. But not permanentl...

Re: The Difference Between Knowledge and Wisdom
Good post, Nick. For me wisdom is simply your ability to recognize emptiness, be it conceptually/non-directly or non-conceptually/directly. Everything else is knowledge. A statement of wisdom: "Life is transient". A statement of knowledge: "Life is a chemical reaction". The inter...

Re: I AM That
I am that can also be interpreted as I am god or I am the universe. This statement is absolutely correct because god is the present moment itself, and I am the present moment too, therefore I am God. This is meant in a temporal sense and not in a spatial sense, as commonly understood: oneness does ...

Why is attachment to the self a problem? It is only a problem if you view suffering (unsatisfaction, sadness, pain, depression, anxiety, fear, stress, etc) as a problem. If you like most people do find suffering to be a problem, then you'd be interested to find that attachment to self is the cause ...
