Even a rock existing simultaneously 200 miles away from the car causes it How so? In twenty-five words or less. If your mind isn't seeing things as they are happening independently then how do you know that they are happening independently? You can never prove that this is the case. Therefore, isn'...

I don't know if you have read it, but I addressed this issue in my ebook, Wisdom of the Infinite. Yes, I have read large parts of it, if not all of it by now. Let's focus on the excerpt which you provide for the moment: If boundaries are fundamentally non-existent and all things are causally connec...

Willie Nelson's gorgeous cover of Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe." Stick through the annoying &%!@#$%#!! commercial at the start. Willie is the best.

Re: On consciousness
You're outright ignoring what I say now. Neither have you given your definition of a "cause" and why it is different from mine. I can't see a way in which this discussion can continue. I already told you I understand what you are saying - which I couldn't do if I were ignoring it. What I ...

Re: On consciousness
You are confusing two separate ideas. The fact that we do not know the specific causes of a thing does not mean that we can't know that it is caused by everything else. "Everything else" is a category into which we put all the specific causes of a thing. As I said, there is no reason to e...

Re: On consciousness
That is because you define influence in an extremely narrow way. You're trying to include specific influences within your scope of knowledge, instead of widening your scope of knowledge in order to see the big picture. Obviously my definition of influence is narrower than yours. There is a reason f...

Re: On consciousness
That doesn't make sense. You've flatly contradicted yourself. If there is no reason to leave any particular thing in the category of "everything else" out, then eo ipso that whole category is included. I am talking about causality - I am having difficulty with your definition, since my ob...

Re: Apathy: Psychological Inertia
The orgasm of wisdom is the laughter that takes nothing of the impermanent world seriously. Good grief, man, is not this whole board devoted to the understanding of the impermanence of form?

Re: On consciousness
The simplest way to say this is that any form is constructed, or caused, by all the forms that are not itself. It may be the simplest way, but not very illuminating. Why would it be incorrect to make the same assertion, but leaving out the word all? I am saying this because to me, if you include th...

Re: The Mystic....
What do you make of Rhonda Byrne's The Secret? empty and meaningless. Books like 'the secret' assume that a separate self can actually do something. I think it is empty and meaningless as well - but since you think everything is, I was wondering if you actually read it or even looked at it. The rea...
