I get your point. People on other threads got mad a me for using Jungian psychology of their religious beliefs. I've never claimed a piece of land as ...

Yes, some of it is sound. But much of it is cultural interpretation. They also assume people act themselves while in a study

Modern psychology can't prove most of its claims. If someone cares to give some examples of things psychology has proven, let's discuss them

In defense of what I said, I have the right to talk about psychology on this forum. And the right to speak of the spiritual as psychological. Politica...

The It's sounds like Schopenhauer, your last post that is. Interesting idea. Does uncaused cause come from nothing. And can nothing be a power?

I think all algorithm's are strange loops and are as such faulty

Your warning has no power

Interesting! Teilhard wrote "In its origin to arrangements of a single initial corpuscular type is the beacon of light that lights the history of the ...

Randomness is matter completely free. Free will in humans is pure spontaneity. Determinalism might be true. Aquinas would have become a Calvinist befo...

Word salad paragraph. You don't know what random is! So you think you know it's relation to spontaneity?....

There could be a beginning, or there could not. Gravity, friction, and other principles govern it. How is not why. I don't care for the "why is there ...

If you want to argue that this specific example is deterministic, that's fine. You don't seem to understand what the word random even means though. Th...

Isn't that obvious??

Perhaps, unless there is a next step (enlightenment?) were you realize fairness was a false concept all along. It's difficult to decide one way or ano...

We can know we are the cause of picking up a ball because we can feel the causality in action. But seeing an avalanche is different. We can't sense wh...

Well I do think that chance can be a cause

Sometimes there are just brute facts. Why are you you instead of me? It's just the way it is. In logic, there cannot be complete relativism. There has...

Intentional means colloquially "by intent". As opposed to a river running down a mountain

It's when you stretch someone's thought in a way were you can slip in an idea (a seed) which they would regard as true

Also, in the future when you write in the Thomistic method, know you are making illegal moves all over the chess board

Matter is only a mystery because it can be broken down into energy. You say The Good must be what makes things intelligible. So... God. Of course you ...

I'm thinking that matter is an emergence from a vibration that is not full extension in itself

It's the opposite of communism

Some interpret this parable to mean "don't be jealous of baptized infants who go to heaven without struggle even though you had to struggle". I've nev...

That life gives some people more happiness than others and the universe is not unjust in doing this

I dont know how this parable applies to economic study, but it's an interesting question The wisdom of the parable lies in fairness vs justice. Everyo...

As for Fatima, prove to me aliens didnt cause it

Christians are persecuted because it is a religion for trolls

Thanks for your response. But I don't understand your last sentence here. The parable for me basically says that life doesn't have to be fair. That "f...

Please explain how. I'm much interested :) Well you define matter as "prime matter" which is a mystery. I see matter as res extensa and still regard i...

Gives one's life yes, but what about gives one soul? If you were asked to go to eternal Hell for your spouse, you would be insane to say yes and insan...

Were a medieval who had never seen photos to watch a movie, it would alter his reality forever. We do this now with digital technology and there is no...

If God the Father appeared to you and said"I am sending either you or your wife to the eternal furnace, the other will go with me to heaven", it would...

Empathy is love, sympathy is love, pity is love, but they can be distorted. Christian "love" feels supernatural because it's an unnatural use of the b...

"Time can't be frozen" they said. Now we have movies lol

There is some Christian female quantum physicist who argues along the line of the Chinese room riddle that an Intelligence must be behind the working ...

Faith is the easiest vice to defeat because you can just do it with a thought

Would someone suffer infinite temporal pain for eternal infinite bliss? If one person out of two had to go to hell forever, would you choose him or yo...

There have been attempts to refute the Forms by saying there cannot be a perfect Form of mathematics. But like Hegel, Plato seemed to have an implicit...

The Forms could be the eternal potentiality of the One. Plotinus might say this. The Forms might necessarily come from God, or they might be created b...

Stephen Hawking thought that time goes back from 1 through the decimals until it is pure potentialy. Zero is not a limit. This reminds me of beer comm...

Potentiality is a less-than-numerical unity

Switching the subject from psychology to psychiatry, I've found medication to be helpful for my bipolar symptoms. There are those out there who say ps...

I found these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z6JTB9Z/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUVRIOTA3V0xSSklFJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMT...

It's just that Thomists are dogmatic about actuality and potentiality. They think they've figured it all out

Gnomon was considering whether Enformation is consistent with Aristotle. Why not let him make up his own mind? These issues can be as nuanced as disti...

Actually, it's still debatable whether a spiritual impersonal Form is effete. I should have included that in my last post

Like Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard at Second Petersburg, I will do whatever it takes to break the spine of Satan's legions which formed as a "reli...

ALL Christians will admit there "love" is not natural but "supernatural", which really means it comes from the part of the brain which wishes to domin...

Christian love is not true love
