Re: Anxiety in males due to contamination by the female void

Men are “contaminated” by woman from a very early age. First he craves his mother’s love and attention, and then when he has grown up he looks to replace those same emotional pleasures through relationships with other women. It is therefore a natural thing to want to be involved with women, and if ...

Re: On consciousness

The God that is everything certainly exists.

Re: The Nature of Evil

Absolute non-existence/Inherent non-existence is impossible, even to conceive, because if you imagine a nothingness, that too is a form in your head. So, absolute nothingness doesn't exist in reality. It only exists as a logical fallacy. Like a married bachelor. My logic dilemma demonstrated why ab...

Re: What is your vision of transcendence?

No worries.

It comes from a book that really opened my eyes up - it is mainly just a list of aphorisms: The Natural State

Re: Defining and describing non-duality

It is the absolute nature of our subjectivity. - I like this extract by U.G Krishnamurti. The natural state is one in which thinking and life are not two things but one. It is not an intellectual state. It is more like a state of feeling, although I use the word feeling in a different sense than th...

I've presented three sources indicating A = A is disputed in Nagarjuna, two of them directly - that trumps anyone here, in my view.

It's an extreme idea suited for a crisis. That type of crisis indicates a majority of irrational people, therefore, it's contradictory to expect a rational solution. .
