You could have winked back!

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.

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 ...

I can't speak for Dennis' mood, but I can understand why people can become uncomfortable around some of his thoughts, do I ever. It isn't fun to suck in a lungful of terror your first breath away from the nipple . . . . Does Dennis wike his wittle nipple? There, there, Dennis. Say, who's your new f...

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...

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...

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...

cousinbasil: Upon what would one base the claim that any form has a causal connection to every other form? jupiviv: This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of causality. A thing is necessarily caused by that which is not itself, and there's no reason to leave out anything that is not the thing fr...

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? First, by the intellect, reasoning why, then by the heart, being reborn into knowing why? Look how love is b...

Every day on my way to work, I pass by a school bus stop. Every day I see the same gaggle of preteen middle-class girls all giggling amongst themselves. So they are all wise and having orgasms...?

I may have posted this already - the Neville Brothers "Bird on a Wire." Too lazy to check my posts. Click on it anyway, it's worth another listen!!

But what is it that from which the chair is 1 meter away? Since the chair is you, is your body, what is it that the chair is 1 meter away from? But the chair is not me (it's not even jupiviv.) Not simply your eyes. The eyes is a mediation between your vantage point/center and the chair. How can you...

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...

another curiosity is that if i were to travel in a circle at the speed of light (with no gradual acceleration), would i see my perceptive self upon my return to the initial starting position, but there would be no tangible presence of myself? You cannot travel in a circle at the speed of light. Tha...

Your new avatar is quite fitting.

tiger woods is Asian and black, yet at his core he is actual a white guy. What a load of crap. Here's another. How did Tiger get his nickname? His mother is Thai ... And his father is a nig ger . you've misunderstood my point. my point is that we are what we feel. That's about as vapid a conclusion...

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...

Spatially this vantage point is a point. Temporally it is a line. But at a particular moment it is a point. Spatially this vantage point is really a set of points, IMO. If at a particular moment it is a point, over a number of moments, this points changes but does not go all over the map, but is co...

This distinction concerning 'thinking/language' was shanghaid by the new age sharks who declared 'you are what you think' 'think and grow rich' shackling of Being. At night, when I 'snuggle into the doona' and the days events stream by, there's a cognition, 'what the fuck was I thinking' I fucked u...

Animus / cousinbasil - That realization is a primitive, one taken as a youngling, giving conception. Maintenance is quite an evident necessity and a consistently observed phenomena of the ages, expressed as wives tales or whatever. It will be interesting to explore this as surgeons. Also, this conv...

i would think that he has accepted he is a goat, therefore he is a goat. on a metaphorical level, maybe we are all 'goats' and our main obstacle is believing we are a 'lion' because of our external perceptions instead of our internal ones. we are what we feel, not what we see. No, we are what we ar...

There's a reason physicists don't call much of Quantum Physics "paranormal", even though it's full of weird shit we don't fully understand. Maybe not physicists, but other people(the authors of science articles for e.g) do treat the "quantum realm" like it's paranormal. Every ne...
