Re: Little Man
I read Reich thirty years ago. He made some sense to me then. But that was thirty years ago. I mostly agree. There were some good bits in there, but overall it was dated. He has some good points, but they are not points you won't find elsewhere. And there is a lot of ranting about how he's been opp...

A 'state of being' is not a state made up by a total amount of individual beings in the universe I can experience. You ment "earth" insted of "universe" right? or what did you mean by: the question of interplanetary life (which is in itself a juvenile fiction unworthy of any philosophical considera...

I am not so sure about this division between cause and effect. Does the seed 'cause' the tree or does the tree 'cause' the seed? However, a seed or tree is nothing without the soil. And the soil is nothing to a seed or tree without the unconscious benevolence of the microogranisms acitivity and equ...

Virtue ( Te ). This is of course not the nonsense that is usually meant by that term, but the natural, authentic virtue Lao Tzu described. It is essentially an understanding of Nature and and a willingness to set aside delusion in light of that understanding. It is knowing what Reality is and how t...

Yeah, well, labels are always just that. But, remember, this forum is not about being a mere "philosopher"; it has a higher agenda. It is, I think, unique in the expression and dedication to that higher agenda. "Philosophy" has become a term that people spit on. Our use of "Genius" is an attempt to...
