GENIUS FORUMS

Somewhat ironically, everyone has interpreted A=A with A=A, so that A=A is their own self-identity made manifest.

natural belief is the intuition that compels belief through that which is experienced reacting ,and dominating in turns; everything has to associate itself through its definite emotion,stimulated by those in harmony. the majority of our actions can be traced to a subconscious desire in conflict wit...

Hey Sapius, Have you tapped into what you call an "unconscious mind"? I ask this because in my opinion, that which you call an "unconscious mind", is actually much more "conscious" than the word actually implies, otherwise you won’t be able to think or talk about it. ...

Infinity The wholeness of numbers points to the intangible realm of thought, each being an abstract association. If reality can be viewed in a numerical fashion, then the progression of thought can more easily reconstruct or deconstruct itself. For example: . . . 1+1+1+1+1+1 . . . is a perfect abstr...

Decartes axiom was a preliminary expression of Ultimate Reality; a stepping stone towards higher truth. "I think, therefore I am" recognizes that our thoughts shape our reality, but fails to express how our thoughts can construct reality. Decartes potentially limits himself through his own...

Keep pushing yourself, Sapius :)

Today the Tao said:

"When the doors of perception are cleansed, everything appears as it truly is, infinite."

No joke.

So, thanks, Carrot.

You remind me a lot of a girl I used to call bunny.

No joke.

Okay (?)

[edit]

Miffy, Fascinating too that late 19th century, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and other existentialists turn towards mystical thought when reason no longer can access truth. I'd argue that continued reasoning inevitably leads one to a mystical understanding. The threshold being the level of objectivity int...

Now tell me, 'What is Sophie?'

From "Waking Life"

(a philosophic roto-scoped cartoon)

"To realize you are a dream character, in another person's dream . . . is true self-awareness."

Sapius, "...And there is no quality connecting you and me; No there is, the quality of A=A. That is the quality of recognition through differentiation, and reaction. Shunryu is saying that we should forget the heaviness of self, and attempt to realize our true being. when I say "you,"...

Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki "...there is no quality connecting you and me; when I say "you," there is no "I"; when I say "I," there is no "you." You are independent, and I am independent; each exists in a different moment. But this does no...

Hey Miffy,

Thank you.

After reading "The Meaning of The Comic," I have to admit that I am grateful for my Zen practice.

What are your thoughts on eastern philosophy?

Miffy, Hello. If I could speak for everyone, I'd say that we'd all enjoy it if you rested here awhile. A doctor-in-training must be willing to brush aside some. The Philosophy of Laughter and Tears: They say laughter is the best medicine. But, why? What are we laughing at exactly? In any circumstanc...

I have a question for you, Steven. You wrote: Steven: The second dimension, a straight line ("two points"), would be two thoughts combined to reach a truth ("the quickest path between two points is a line" - "the quickest/surest realization is a truth"). Leyla: How do ...

Where there is worth, there must be meaning; found along the bridge intersecting self and awareness.

You could even deduce that the existence of no-dimension, is a direct expression of unconsciousness - or the regressive effect of Weininger's "henid." In order to keep the structure of coherency, the pure logic of the first and second dimensions/contrasted with the third and fourth dimensi...

Leyla, Your argument brings to mind Plato's Theory of Forms: The a priori existence of conception that governs the experience of the aesthetic. While we can never experience the forms in their perfection, we can theoretically know of them through the experience of the material plane. What's responsi...

The roads we must cross in order to acheive the Ideal, have only ever been the roads of our own mind.

Pye,

I must apollo-gize (?)

Nah.

I integrated my dio, with my apollo.

Hey,

Leyla! (and others) - check this out.

This is why Weininger says that women cannot ever achieve genius, it is because their minds are ever bent towards the will of the womb. Women have no attraction to Genius not only because they have no instintual value for it but because it may indeed conflict with that which they do value by instin...

It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child's balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying. Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the...

suergaz,

You're right. Power is beyond them both. A part of the space-time continuum.
