It certainly sounded theological to me, if I am mistaken I apologize. I'll reread your post to see if I get the same impression. Just reread it, and w...

Excellent, when negativity or negative truth is realized, as apparently you believe. You are in complete agreement with Arthur Schopenhauer, " Life is...

You are into Theology my friend, and it is not a legitimate topic/subject. When nonsense is made sacred, the world is in trouble.

I think what is in question is the imperialistic colonial violence that the United States practices. Many Americans buy the idealistic apple pie conce...

Personally, I am not afraid of ghosts and zombies they belong to the realm of supernatural fiction, along with witches, warlocks and angles.

Can you substantiate this beliefs in any way?

This isn't a theology site, but a philosophy site. Vengence is mine says boagie!!

Thanks Manuel!!!

When I stated that there was no downside to death, I was referring to one's individual death, it is quite impossible to have regret in death.

You've miss quoted me, I did not say that death was the most beautiful concept humans have.

All meaning whatsoever requires conscious observation/experience, thus without, there is no question and no answers, no apparent reality.

Belief is the property neccessary for the resolution of certainty, without which one would be too fearful to move.

There is no difference. I will watch this thread however to see if someone can educate me differently---lol!! Wait, one can be crazy, and happy and co...

Dechele, Excellent, but, slightly negative. Consciousness can be nothing more than the relation between subject and object. How this occurs is the pro...

All words are qualifications and/or limitations.

The nature of life itself does not lend a reason that an individual should echo through time, as a present manifestation, one is cause, something othe...

How dream like reality is. Ultimate reality is a place of no things, apparent reality is a biological readout. Apparent reality is real to your biolog...

d Beauty you might say is the relational make up of a particular form, species of object. The degree this relational form is violated is the degree th...

A celabration of life and all being, as expressed through human consciousness.

Hard determinism simply underlines the lack of free will and the realization that all is process. Sin is thus negated, and one's total responsibility ...

Beauty is the perfection or near perfection of form and function. When form is violated one has a monstrosity and if the function has no subject, not ...

All knowledge is the property of a conscious subject and nothing in the world has meaning in and of itself, but only in relation to a conscious subjec...

All being is causation, and in a solipsistic way, it stirs reaction in all other forms of being.

Reality is biological extension, in the sense that apparent reality is a biological readout, it is how ultimate reality affects ones biology. So to ar...

It's a nonsense topic!

Apparent reality is a simulation, it is a simulation of your biological interpretation, it is if you like, a biological readout of how ultimate realit...

Read Oliver Stone's '' The Untold History Of The United States", if you have any doubt America is an empire, a rather nasty one at that.

I do seem to better understand your meaning, as in a shopping mall map, you are here. Somewhere however you need I think, to leave language behind as ...

Sorry, it's a little over my head. Do any of our fellow posters wish to take a crack at it?

I must admit to being puzzled by your post. Are you saying, we didn't really know the person alive and can know them even less when they are dead? Per...

That was the tree that fell in the forest, with no ear to hear it---lol!! No ear, no big bang!!! The great expansion. Did they ever decide whether it ...

Possible only to a conscious observer, another consciousness.

No more, no more, you have to ask yourself, is it better to have lived or better to have never existed. Never to have experienced love, but also never...

People may think good or bad of you but in death, there is no experience, no feelings, what they think could have no effect.

The things you have stated have already been well established in previous posts--- nothing to disagree about here.

Without consciousness there is no time.

The ultimate question is, is there such a thing as human action, apparently you still believe so. Cognitive motivation comes from the outside world, t...

Yes, you have a choice, the only choice you do not have is that of not reacting. You will react in some way, it is the nature of the beast, all organi...

The foundation of apparent reality is your biology, foremost we must have experience, for experience is the holy grail. Certainly our ideas and concep...

Again, human action is not possible. Before one can move in the physical world one must be motivated to do so, where does that motivation come from? W...

Concepts and ideas are the tools of reason, not an end in themselves. The Maps is not the terrain so to speak.
