Yes I wholeheartedly agree, I was going to write the same thing, but hadn't got around to it. I suggest folk go to google earth and zoom in on Gaza, y...

Well, in essence mysticism includes an approach to knowledge which offers two other means of enquiry (there may be more). Other than the intellectual ...
January 14, 2020 at 16:37
I would agree with this, to an extent. The extent that a human entity can be regarded as a substance, however both body and mind are foundational to t...

I'm not sure it is wise to use the word infinity there, I note that you qualify it with spacelessness, but squaring infinity with reality doesn't end ...

There's a news story going around that the Home Secretary of Britain, Priti Patel, has categorised the ideology of Extinction Rebellion as a terrorist...

I quote, "the rest is silence" If you really want answers you will have to absorb a little mysticism, Shakespeare knew that when he wrote Hamlet.

The problem with humanity was when we developed intelligence. Up until that point we carried on within our evolutionary niche like other animals and p...

You have misread the situation, I can only surmise that it is due to a cultural difference.

They have the misfortune to be born into the role, the're just making the best of a rum deal. I would'nt wish it on anyone. Anyway back to Brexit, Sto...

The problem in Afghanistan is not that the US wants them to become a failed state, but any attempts they might have made to restore the country to som...

Forgive me, I didn't mean Trump would like to see a puppet installed, but rather a progressive democracy installed by the people. I know it may be a h...

I don't think anyone can understand what it is like to be a Royal in the public eye unless you are born into it. Also Meghan did not know the extent o...

I am more charitable towards Trump in this than some. I realise that his vision for Iran is a liberated country returning to how it was before the 197...
January 13, 2020 at 14:27
Yes, the way I look at it is that the natural state in a world/realm of manifestation is for there to be one point in one moment, rather like a singul...

I wasn't expecting that bile from you. I didn't find much in your post which I can agree with. And I repeat the barrage of abuse she has received from...

Yes, I agree with every point except the one that they don't achieve anything. They do achieve a lot, certainly enough to justify their privelidge. Ha...

Yes it's going to happen. I don't know if you are aware of the nature of the British media. But Harry and Meghan have been hit by a tsunami of racist ...

I'm responding to the post in the other thread. This seems to be the result of the populist developments going on. In the UK the people who bought the...

You're lucky, there aren't many here in the UK.
January 13, 2020 at 08:03
By refresh-rate, you are referring to the duration of a moment for a human, what we would describe as a few seconds. Or about a second with a fade in ...

You can't be dead in the future, because there is no future, there is only conjecture. I know from empirical observation that I will cease to be a hum...

Bartricks, seems to want people to agree on one simple point before moving on and has become frustrated that their not doing that. His argument seems ...

These guys, or lady's are in short supply at the moment.

I go further than that, if one is to go to this place intellectually, surely extension, or space is in the same place at the same time. So we have all...

Yes, this is no problem for me and I do after being on these sites for a few years now use a lot of the accepted terminology and process. But the diff...

Quite, a lot of my explanation would be in relation to the self, being and life, following on a journey.
January 12, 2020 at 11:19
But I have cracked the code, for myself. But in a way that is almost unintelligible to others, except others who have followed a similar path to mysel...
January 12, 2020 at 09:18
Well anyway, Trump is a showman, any stream of consciousness he appears to be performing is little more than a conjuring trick, like Billy Graham. I d...

The problem as I see it is the approach of academic philosophy. You can see it in the subject/object thread. These intelligent philosophers going arou...

I'm already there, have been for a long time. The difficulty I have is the translation of those ideas into a form palatable for contemporary Western P...

Quite. Is this a philosophical discipline, or is there literature relating to it?
January 11, 2020 at 21:53
I agree with ZhouBoTong, that is a universal nationalism, the sort of idealism which has resulted in Brexit. If one looks at the realities on the grou...

I agree with your overarching idea. In this scenario though any absolute being, is present with any limited being at all times and in all places and i...

Stream of consciousness is an ecstatic state, more like the trance of a medium. What Trump is doing is showmanship, it might look the same but it is a...

Just talking without a script.
January 11, 2020 at 09:34
All the more reason to enable Iran to move forward without feeling the need for nuclear weapons. Fat chance of that now.
January 11, 2020 at 08:39
Yes, I can see the kogs turning behind his eyes. I am familiar with stream of consciousness and what I see is someone who is not reciting a prepaired ...

I think the country was in a state of startled chaos, anything could have happened. It doesn't bode well for when they get their nuclear bomb.

And what will Israel talk about?
January 10, 2020 at 16:29
I answered the point in the first sentence. The second paragraph was an off topic criticism of a newspaper. Going back to the point. I know what Iran ...

This is geopolitics, America shouldn't have meddled in Iran in the first place. I noticed you linked to The Daily Mail, one of the worst bigoted racis...
