Choice and non-choice, implies restriction and illusion. If one is presented with the choice of A or B, it must either choose or not choose, but it can not disregard the choices and manifest it’s own option of C. Also if it must either choose or not choose it is restricted and still must contend ...

I can think of examples in mathematics of series without a beginning but with an end. The set of negative intergers has no beginning, but it does have an end. It is only an assumption, also that everything has a cause or that anything exists without a cause. If it does, however, there is nothing in...

Remember, I'm not the one who says something which always was cannot at some point cease to be. If it has always been, there is nothing yet to say it cannot end, not be, in the future. To assume that something has always been, is to imply the existence of a thing without a cause. But this is a comp...

If something has never come into existence, it could be for two reasons: 1. It has always been. 2. It doesn't exist. If it has always been, there is nothing yet to say it cannot end, not be, in the future. If it does not exist, even as a concept, it cannot have a referent. "It does not exist," is e...

This doesn't follow. Just because something has never arisen or began, it doesn't mean, unless it simply doesn't exist, that it cannot end. Something that always was does not necessarily have to always be It’s pretty simple logic. If something has never come into existence, it certainly can not c...

Will wrote nothing is identical. everything has it's own unique condition and qualities.

All one can do is encourage people to shed all desire to be part of a personality cult and become independent students of truth. That's one of the reasons why I like to emphasize the writings of other truthful thinkers, such as Lao Tzu, Buddha, Diogenes, Hakuin, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and so on. I...

What are the purpose of these arbitrary, contextually void, quotes? To make you realize more of yourself. I "am" candyman,I give candy. Why? I expected this question. Not being known does not stop the truth from being true. that's why. What you do with the candy is your business. "Where do you lear...

It’s apparent that he/she perceives this forum as a threat. And if this isn’t the case, why the condescending hostility? What purpose does this aggressive assault serve, with such an obvious non-threat? Unless, Zarathustra is just simply a school-yard bully, which, if that is this case, fear is ...

The Truth would have to be self-evident. They have taken Godel’s challenge of proof, his so-called Incompleteness Theorem, (that incidently was referring to Russell’s and Whitehead’s Principia Mathematica claim of “proofâ€), whitewash any declaration that is self-contained and obliterate an...

Yes, the entire essay boils down to just one thought: "I want to believe in free-will". I believe it's called The Argument from Wishful Thinking. - Are wishes caused? How? Are they caused by the mind of the individual or caused by something outside the mind? Do you have a proof? Self causation is b...

Re: YOU ALL HUMANS ARE MONKEYS!
Ask questions, ignore the answers
What will be accomplished by asking questions and does ignoring the answers coincided with the asking of questions?

Now how exactly does one move beyond space/time, isn’t the very act of transcending, dependent on space and time?
