Hello Trevor! Yes, as the day draws long, I field carrots and work this warren, and life is indeed full. miffy, (wow, these are getting long) Quote: your confusion between a problem and a mystery entails that a indissoluble question is posed as a problem.

Hello Jason! Carrotblog, Quote: J: I wanted to find what was ultimately real and true. C: The advocate of the Cartesian devil (from his seminal "Discourse on Method") would ask: why did you want to find out what was real and true? Why not find out what was meaningful in life? Why not find ...

Quote: Why are you required to take side on the "God-debate"? That's a question whose solution is found in autobiography: I used to find such debates enthralling; eventually it seemed prudent to choose sides. Problems are soluble in solutions; your confusion between a problem and a myster...

I didn't have the easiest life growing up, which I am thankful for. I don't know if I would have turned out the way I have if it weren't for some of lifes tests. Still, I know many people who have had much harder struggles in their lives compared to my own. I actually consider myself very fortunate...

Actually I never performed any of the good deeds we were supposed to do, I just pretended to. Secondly, I never actually believed in the religion. I just pretended not to be an athiest for fear of upsetting my family. Hope you're okay. Sounds like life was very difficult for you when growing up. Mu...

I had to pull out a dictionary to figure out why I haven't heard about myxomatosis before. You certainly do put a lot of effort into this persona. My mental picture of you is a very empathic veternarian, a card-carrying member of a bizarre over-the-top vegetarian cult, or just a particulaly well-re...

Miffy, the deepest bliss will rule! Deep sadness never knew. Are you a speaker? In Life? A writer? A talker? What happens when one doesn't know anymore? Beyond the moment?!

Finally I had realized fundamental and all-encompassing absolute certainty, and it was so utterly simple and obvious. Absolute certainty was before me at all times everywhere, it was in fact right in front of my eyes so to speak, and had been all along. The only difference was that I now consciousl...

So my conclusion: that which is absolutely, ultimately, certainly and all-encompassingly real and true is: just simply and exactly what Is. Hi there, Perhaps this is an anti-climax, after such a promising start on your journey. Here are some rabbit reflections: "When I say serious philosophy I...

Hey Miffy, Thank you. After reading "The Meaning of The Comic," I have to admit that I am grateful for my Zen practice. What are your thoughts on eastern philosophy? Hello Steve, I love Bergson, and perhaps that was my first introduction to the possibility of mysticism within the western ...

Hello Jon, Your post is interesting although perhaps diverse in scope to the point that it is hard to follow the monologue.

I am on a wandering. When very young I thought I had a home from which to journey, but later saw I hadn't even a landscape! How I loved them still, these things that were their own against my holding them, how I resolved to...pursue them! Faint at last, I sought myself. Led on by thought of the pur...

Simple in its chiastic complexity. I love you too bright bunny! You would have words from me, and not only truths, meaning you're worth more than my words.

Hi Nick, I've expressed my thoughts in the reasoning above. I have no difficulty with your expression of your rejection. But as Dan and I have told you, our hearts and minds were not in the Catholic religion because of our logic and reasoning. Therefore you make no sense at all. Yet, you have failed...

I know it can be misunderstood, because its...
