If that is the case, then it sounds like a being with some emotional problems deciding to ignore his seekers by irrational freewill. (How do you prove...

I think you need to clarify more in detail what you mean by undivided in "undivided existence" before going into "all encompassing" too. Is undivided ...

In: Death  — view comment
From my witness of death of my father in the hospice, it was very painful process going into death. It was not some sort of momentary event. It was sl...

Omnipresence is really meaningful when the subject is visible and contactable whenever required, omnipotence doing and manifesting the right things (d...
September 07, 2021 at 07:50
Omnipresence, omnipotence and omniscience are only meaningful real attributes, if a subject with such attributes demonstrates omnipresence, omnipotenc...

Shouldn't the space inside a totally sealed cube, container or ball be regarded as divided (separated) space from the outer space?
September 06, 2021 at 22:05
I don't understand how you came up with the idea of 'one undivided existence' from nonexistence. Could you elaborate the possible connection between t...

I thank you for languages which enable me say thank you.

Space and time must not be classed as physical object or nothingness. They should be classed as non physical objects, which are a priori, because they...
September 05, 2021 at 10:08
I used to think space is not a thing like usual physical objects. It is an object but non physical, because it cannot be seen and touched. Space is no...

Life is a mortgage taken out from the universe, that will be squared with old age and death, or death.

The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry wit...

:ok:
September 04, 2021 at 09:18
Wouldn't it be that because you are now thinking about death and applying the concept "none" to death, it looks as if it is something that doesn't exi...
September 04, 2021 at 09:02
Due to illogical attributes of none as the property of none existence, you come to the wrong conclusion that all death are same. I feel that it doesn'...

You started the pointless semantics initially in the middle of the discussions, and I am trying to clarify on the points. If it is an adverb, then it ...

"None" is like that, it, they, he, she ... a pronoun, not a perceivable qualia.
September 04, 2021 at 07:58
To be a property of something, I would have thought, it should be either primary or secondary quality which can be sensed. No?
September 04, 2021 at 07:56
Another point is "None" is a pronoun like he she that or these. It cannot be a property of something.

Contradictory statements for non existent things.

I have not been dancing for years, now I am sure I would feel awkward. :blush: I used to like dancing when I used to pub crawling and pleasure seeking...

That reminded me that I have a book on the ancient Greek poetry. Will take out, and do some reading on it. The ancient Greek poetry also looks very in...
September 03, 2021 at 09:06
But sometimes the claims by Science could be muddled with jargons, contradictions and illusory hypotheses, and the only way to find them out is Metaph...

Allison's book is very good, and I am also using it. I was looking for the best commentaries, and keep getting one after another, and ended up with 7-...

I am not a metaphysician, but I feel it is a good subject. Of course there are different definitions of Metaphysics. Some people seem to equate Metaph...
September 02, 2021 at 17:09
I am not sure if "none" is a meaningful or intelligible property. Property of something is for the objects which exist in the real world. Never for so...
September 02, 2021 at 13:08
Sure. I think our definition on non-existence is not far off. But that is why I feel that you cannot say anything about it. To say something about som...
September 02, 2021 at 12:44
How can you say whether something is identical or non identical or wet or dry, when non existent?
September 02, 2021 at 12:37
Nope ! Instinctive perception would be enough. They don't have to go through some bush wilderness survival. They are in well protective environment of...
September 02, 2021 at 12:35
I never said that :gasp: that something exists in a state of non existence. ???? I said you cannot say they are identical when something is non existe...
September 02, 2021 at 12:33
No no, not just remembering. The whole lot. Consciousness covers all mental activities I would think. You can become unconscious too, if you were hit ...
September 02, 2021 at 12:30
Sure, I would say that it is a type of evolved emergent function of consciousness from brain. When one gets old, it fades away, I saw it.
September 02, 2021 at 12:28
Never said they are unique or individual. But definitely unknown, or nothing to comment on, because they are not existent.
September 02, 2021 at 12:26
Non-existence is the same for every death? I don't know. I cannot imagine what non-existence or death would be, not having experienced personally. I a...
September 02, 2021 at 12:24
I am not sure about that either. I believe that the consciousness emerges from a human being when it is about 2-3 years after birth. Before that, it h...
September 02, 2021 at 12:15
I was meaning if something is non-existence, you don't know if they are the same, or different in essence. You can only tell how the existence got int...
September 02, 2021 at 12:09
How can you say they are "essentially identical", when they are absent?
September 02, 2021 at 11:32
How will life still emerge? What is the motions of life? Could you elaborate?
September 02, 2021 at 11:24
The first absence has no historicity, the 2nd does have it.
September 02, 2021 at 11:21
The initial absence of life is unexperienced, non-progressed, un-lived, un-started state of absence, whereas the absence after death is non-existence ...
September 02, 2021 at 11:17
OK from your first premise, There are 2 types of absence. Absence to be transformed to non-absence through time such as the sun light at night (it is ...

September 02, 2021 at 10:22
yeah, will see how it goes.

I was able to edit the title. :D
September 02, 2021 at 10:19
Good point. Initially wanted it only for aphorisms, but then there were useful links for philosophy, songs and quotes, and they were all thrown in tog...
September 02, 2021 at 10:17
Great point. Definitely something to think about. Will reflect over, and return if / when I get some ideas on it. Have a good day.
