I didn't say that I beleive nothing. Actually I do believe to be true hundreds or thouands of things. I said, instead ---"I (consciously) try Not to b...

My words,contrasting the two entirely different phrases : one, saying: "beleive" and the other saying: "beleive IN" have been accepted by many in this...

You are slicing up the meanings of an inherently confusing batch of words into tinier and tinier shades of meaning. You are slicing them up into such ...

Right on Janus. We are not dealing here with certitudes. We are dealing with numerous instances of carelas speach and badass, ambigous words and expre...

I have thousands of beliefs. Most of them are intuitional but unfortunately I can not express any of them to you because this correspondence is purely...

I agree.

Thank you for corecting my spelling. I have always been a bad speller and spelling is important.

You say: "Still trying to work out who those millions were, and why "Belgiums", especially considering that Belgium is actually a country." I don't re...

This stuff about a joke about brain cells is all mixed up. Let me try to figure it out. First remember that I, AM my braincells.They are me. Oops, not...

I agree with every single word you said. My concern about believing is irrelevent here I think.

I agree wholeheartedy. I think the general failure of members of the republican party to do as you say preceded Trump and is as responsible as he is f...

Thanks universeness. I did not know that. We seem to have almost identical political positions. Mine date from the 40's. But I have lived in Mexico an...

(BTW, You say:" I do get the often grave problem of unjustified belief treated as incontrovertible knowledge. But I so far take it that such isn’t equ...

I don't get it. Why should anyone joke about "Brain Cells". It is my own brain cells or, more correctly patterns and arrrangements of my brain cells t...

Hi univereness. You sent me a big handful. Let m take them one at a time. You say: "I appreciate what you mean but it's no different from your 'when I...

Janus you just said: "Anything that is not known but seems reasonable can be accepted and entertained provisionally for pragmatic reasons; no believin...

Agreed emphatically

When I began this thread about the verb - "Believing." I warned that the word "believing" was a very tricky word and might lead to many different mean...

I seem to agree generally. I think we are discussing word meanings. Tricky stuff. My sentence: "I carefully avoid believing anything at all" contains ...

Bird up says: We keep making the same mistake of over-trusting our viewpoint. Agreed, emphatically

Agreed! Emphatically! The authors of the last two mass killings proudly confirm and almost seem to be bragging about the fact that it was their "belei...

You say, To "believe in" something as in believing in love is the same as saying you believe "love exists" to be true." It does not Say that love exis...

Intuitional reasoning is every bit as powerful as Conscious reasoning. Frequently more powerful, vastly more so. And, in fact, the intuition is used v...

You say, Bird-up -- "Abstract ideas like "Love" or "Democracy" can't be proven/disproven in the objective world. When we "believe" in abstract ideas, ...

Well yes and know. How do you ike that as a straight answer? You say - There's a whole lot of bullshit, falsehood, and truth being disseminated in soc...

Yeah-- My mind.

I was refering to the verb beleiving which has nothing what so ever to do with "Beliefs" But, since you bring it up I think that beliefs can be either...

You are partly right. Much of the time I don't notice that I am beleiving some asshole but much of the time I do notice, since the whole issue is heav...

. BRAVO!

Hi Praxis. Bless you, you used the words -- " Confident", "Put thoughts together", "type out messages", "speak (English)", "have reasons to think", "r...

Hi Banno. I love being "Quaint". It appeals to my sense of humor. I must repeat that the whole belief mess is tricky as hell. I should have mentioned ...

Janus! Be careful how yo talk. My inner world is very young and innocent and is shocked by some of the things you say. But that will soon change. We a...

Basically you say that we should do our best to see that good persists and to activelly and energatically promote and teach healthy living. Healthy fo...

Thanks! Well, actually I have used logic and reason my whole life in everything I do because I was taught to. And I still do. I also use Intuition ver...

I want, as you suggest, to simulate something and apply that simulation to myself and, perhaps to you. I want to simulate Logic and Reason, and Object...

You seem to be "Comparing" the two worlds, one with another. Is that possible? Soppose I say: " Let's compare a corkscrew with a pickup truck." Then y...

I agree with all that you say because I must. Your inner world is omnipotent because it is all that you have but I am troubled, sometimes, with how fa...

Angelo. You say "After all, it looks just like a materialistic conception of what you call the "real" universe. Calling it "real" looks metaphysic, so...

Thank you all! Thank you thank you all. You give me much pleasure! Hillary. The word stoneware is an inside the trade word meaning "Ceramics Fired at ...

I think your definition is incomplete. I learned that we have two different things - Memory and the Recall of eventsl. I learned that memories are onl...

I partly agree. I should have stated more carefully that the so called (By me) Second Universe is part and parcel of the so called (by me) Real Univer...

I seems to me that Vegans deplore the eating of meat as being in some way harmful or damageing to an entire species. That idea is, on the face of it, ...

I never said the conscious mind was feeble. I only said that the number of mental activities performed by the conscious mind are much, much fewer in n...

I can, perhaps, add to EnPassan's analogy. When I was about 5 years old my parents took me to light concert hall in Kansas City and we sat fairly clos...

I like that last. "GOD: The highest nature of reality itself, and when you realize it you disappear."

You misunderstand me. I was only discussing my own mild confusion and I was discussing several words and some of the many different ways that I they a...

I am confused about the use of the word "God" that is used in most of the above discussions. Would it not be more correct to use the word: "Gods"? Is ...

I do not exist and I will attack with my fists anyone who says I do exist.

No. You are born with them. They are ordinary brain cells and are almost identical with calves brains that are on the menues of restaurants. If any ar...

Yes, Sir2u. As you state brains are created in the mother's womb only up to a certain point. They are then added too in enormous quantities by many pr...
