Re: Enlightenment
More screw driving from a "screw up" in terms of developing any love for wisdom.
Dennis the saboteur, butchering his own sentences, descending on every discussion and throwing around his excrement, the repetitious self-soothing rejection of Father, Creation, Thought, Past, Language and all the suffering it represents to him. Love expressed as self-violence.

One does not supply anything. One is causes/conditions. A wise man is caused to be wise, and a fool to be foolish. "Commentary" does not exist independently of existence.Dennis Mahar wrote:Bloody Nora!
the only thing you supply is causes/conditions commentary.

Re: Enlightenment
It is interesting to me that someone will assert correctly that spirit is the cause of everything and then leave out the stuff they can't reconcile with their ideal view of spirit. The truth is, of course, that nothing can be left out, it can only be rejected or denied. Dennis' provides proof of this law every time he opens his mouth.

what's astonishing is the whole shebang is uncaused.

Re: Enlightenment
Yes but what you call appearance, I call cause or condition. And any reaction to appearance is also cause and condition. All relative and inconclusive yet unavoidable.Dennis Mahar wrote: what's astonishing is the whole shebang is uncaused.

appearance only.
The point is to be attentive. Giving attention to expressions of the inexpressible. This is what some call wisdom, learning the "way and word" - which should be one word.
The mind of Dennis asks me not to give causes and conditions while that is all that Dennis is and deals in. That's the contradiction, the "wall" in your words.

Re: Enlightenment
That's the truth, Dennis, of phenomenalism, not wisdom.
Try again:
Try again:
This is the proper phenomenalism and perspectivism as I understand it: the nature of animal consciousness involves the notion that the world of which we can become conscious is only a superficial and symbolic world, a generalised and vulgarised world; - that everything which becomes conscious becomes just thereby shallow, meagre, relatively stupid, - a generalisation, a symbol, a characteristic of the herd; that with the evolving of consciousness there is always combined a great, radical perversion, falsification, superficial-isation, and generalisation. Finally, the growing consciousness is a danger, and whoever lives among the most conscious Europeans knows even that it is a disease. As may be conjectured, it is not the antithesis of subject and object with which I am here concerned: I leave that distinction to the epistemologists who have remained entangled in the toils of grammar (popular metaphysics). It is still less the antithesis of "thing in itself" and phenomenon, for we do not "know" enough to be entitled even to make such a distinction. Indeed, we have not any organ at all for knowing, or for "truth": we "know" (or believe, or fancy) just as much as may be of use in the interest of the human herd, the species; and even what is here called "usefulness" is ultimately only a belief, a fancy, and perhaps precisely the most fatal stupidity by which we shall one day be ruined—Nietzsche

Re: Enlightenment
no phenomena, no wisdom.
wisdom depends on phenomena.
Fred's scared of something and recontextualises in order to protect something else.
what?
looks like the ol' perp, rescuer, victim 2 yo tantrum.
clearly he's into survival options.
a set of assessments,
a range of options.
a winning formula.

Re: Enlightenment
No, it doesn't. Wisdom is an aspect of consciousness.no phenomena, no wisdom.
wisdom depends on phenomena.
Phenomenalism, as you say, is indeed literally empty form:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the most blissful
Object of them all?
So tell us again, how are you feeling today, Dennis?The "Genius of the Species"? The problem of consciousness (or more correctly: of becoming conscious of oneself) meets us only when we begin to perceive in what measure we could dispense with it: and it is at the beginning of this perception that we are now placed by physiology and zoology (which have thus required two centuries to overtake the hint thrown out in advance by Leibnitz)—Nietzsche

Re: Enlightenment
consciousness is form.
The appearing object of a conceptual mind. A generic image, or mental image, of an object is like a reflection of that object.
Conceptual minds know their object through the appearance of a generic image of that object, not by seeing the object directly.
The conceptual mind mistakes the generic image, or mental image, for the object itself. For example, if we think about our mother, an image of our mother appears to our conceptual mind, and it seems to that mind as if our mother herself is appearing.
However, the object that principally appears to that mind is the generic image of our mother. This generic image appears to our mind through the mental exclusion of all objects that are not our mother. It is therefore the appearance of a non non mother.

Re: Enlightenment
Actually one might even say that consciousness is what is being called the formless here. Could we say that all "formlessness" then also is "consciousness"?
Beyond consciousness there can be no form or formlessness. Forms relate to formlessness like objects relate to consciousness. Metaphysically spoken of course.
Anyone feel free to criticize the language used here. It might need improvement or a better context like expanded definitions. Like every post might need.

Re: Enlightenment
Well, there's the discussion Dennis is having with himself, and then there's a persistent introduction by injection of Nietzsche's insight into the metaphysics of self.Actually one might even say that consciousness is what is being called the formless here.
To Dennis I would further say: consciousness contains phenomena, but phenomena necessarily do not contain consciousness.

Re: Enlightenment
We have objects (which can be said have no form yet).
Then consciousness of objects, called forms.
And consciousness of consciousness, called formless.
