No..you're wrong again...from my observations of the guys here that respond favorably towards her...they are young men..some teens. That's a fact. Name them. jupivu & Anders S. ??? Show an example where I responded "favourably" to her, presuming that by "favourably" you mean...

you can reside in the totality and experience the totality, despite not experiencing it all at once. This argument is self-contradictory. If you experience the totality then you experience all of it at once, or you experience something else. If I believe I'm experiencing India from a remote part of...

When you experience the totality, you are only experiencing part of it (a leaf, water, etc). If I'm experiencing a part of the totality, then I'm experiencing the part, not the totality. So it lacks the ability to be "totally" seen. That's why I said it is non-dual, because duality implie...

What would you have us define normal motion relative to...? I don't understand the question. If you don't know what motion is, you should look it up in a physics textbook. You spinning around in circles making the moon appear as if it's traveling faster than the speed of light? Call me crazy, but I...

A very simple eg. of objects travelling greater than light speed - imagine that you're standing in a clear space and the moon is on the horizon. Now start spinning at the rate of 1 revolution/sec. It isn't hard to do this. The moon is 385,000 kms away, so it will rotate round your head at 1.21 milli...

I don't understand why scientists say objects cannot exceed the speed of light, since it is absolutely possible for objects to do so. If the speed of time is finite, then there must be something bigger than it. It doesn't have to be if one defines an object as something that cannot go faster than l...

I don't understand why scientists say objects cannot exceed the speed of light, since it is absolutely possible for objects to do so. If the speed of time is finite, then there must be something bigger than it. That's a logical necessity. I think the reason why it's said that the speed of time canno...

Well, jupiviv, Beauvoir was not a Self-killing (subjectivity-killing) Buddhist. As it happens, neither am I. As I define it, the self is not subjective. Subjectivity would be the opposite of what the self is, because it would mean that there can be many "selves", whereas there can be only...

Pye wrote:The "way out" for women is to assume the same subjectivity as men, so said Beauvoir.

Huh? That's like saying that the way out for women is to assume the same emotional freedom as men. It is precisely subjectivity that characterises the female, and which must be overcome.

It's(the 5% average difference) not a signifcant difference and what you're failing to account for is that these averages don't include the people at the lowest end of the spectrum. There are more men at this end, so these numbers don't represent the whole population, only those who are college bou...

For example, in the case of the SAT's if you calculate the average diff in math scores between the 2 genders then divide that into the total points, you will get an approx. 5% difference between the gender's score. So you're saying that the 5% percent difference is insignificant, and the reason why...

A 39 point difference on a SAT score is negligible. You see, this is why I hate statistics. They can be interpreted to mean anything - 8% of people know that. Have you noticed that this is the *average* score difference? You have to calculate percent differences. Calculate them yourself if you have...

do you believe in UFO's, aliens, fairies, conspiracy theories and Bigfoot without proper evidence? You're again claiming that official and academic scientific journals and studies are necessarily and the sole "proper evidence", which is not true, as I explained above. EDIT: I did a 5 minu...

I don't see the point in saying that a lack of scientific journals about the things Kelly talks about means that there is no evidence. There is a lack of scientific journals on the subject of apples being different from SCUD missiles. That doesn't mean that there is no evidence for that fact. Things...

Just because an action such as caring or being indifferent can be considered delusional, does not mean that these things aren't in fact happening and real. The delusions themselves are real, and happen, but the things the delusions are actually about aren't real, which is what makes them delusions....

I find it impossible to study much of anything at all, because my own mind is too active. I never got good marks in school because I could never set my mind on the things I read. Whenever I started reading something, I would start to think about the things written in those books outside the context ...

The totality is beyond duality in the sense that it lacks the capacity to be dual. The Totality lacks nothing, which is precisely why it is the totality. It is indifferent precisely because it can't consider you. Just like a rock. A rock does not care about you because it lacks the capacity to care...

If your point is that the totality is beyond opposites (not big, not small, not concerned, not unconcerned) then I agree, but that still doesn't invalidate the logic that that which is not big = not big. If by "opposites" you mean duality, then the Totality is neither within nor beyond al...

If you conceive of the universe as mindless or "total", then it clearly does not care, it is indifferent to human concerns. That is self-contradictory reasoning. If the totality is defined as "everything", then I am necessarily a part of it. So the whole distinction of concern a...

Completely remove the idea of the ego from the equation and there is no "one" who has or creates purpose. Only the *deluded* ego needs to be removed from the equation. The true ego can have purpose...however, that purpose will not be separate from itself. The ego should be one and the sam...

the idea of a purposeful universe issues in accordance with our own inner sense of purposefulness I don't think so. If we had an inner sense of purposefulness, we wouldn't seek purpose outside of ourselves. It is precisely because we are purposeless that we seek purpose elsewhere. But consciousness...

Making value judgements and having expectations can also be "letting-be the is", as nothing can ever be other than what it appears to be.

i miss being passionate and in-love. it must have something to do with pro-creation as my feelings have died in that department. If you miss a feeling, then it hasn't died yet. Your feelings simply can't find the right conditions to bloom. I know that almost all of my feelings have died. I think it...
