so much depends on that which seemingly has no significance. its all them chickens fault. :D

maybe there is only one wind, and all our musings derive from that same source, hence another age another interpretation, but we are all saying the same thing. ...and my friend galgamiesh from planet zorg agrees. :D

i agree with the op, i think we should reduce in population to ancient/sustainable levels. we should/must also except death. we must not place too much of a burden on others. this may not eventually be a thing of choice, at some point if not already, capitalism will fail, we simply do not...

hermescience Vs evolution i couldn’t find a better term so hermescience will have to do. :D here i wish to present a theory concerning an inner layer of meaning to evolution both ordinary and universal. we have discussed how all things from the atomic to macroscopic features of reality, are...

are you sure, i think there is only consciousness with different levels of connection to the physical self and environment. hence we never sleep ~ in the context of not being there at all. yes i don’t think it is produced by the brain, electro chemical processes can be reproduced outside of...

consciousness doesn’t sleep! for this one we may forget infinity, eternity, the universe and everything, i just want to concentrate on consciousness. let us imagine that consciousness is produced by the brain or caused as a result of its presence. when we sleep it [consciousness] does not...

without going into what mechanisms we would need to make that happen, we would need for particles to arise simultaneously in any given instance, which they do not. unless we imagine the momentary universe to have half manifest particles at some points. possible i suppose, plausible, i think not...

snoopy :p i see, its impossible though, not only because particles arise all over the universe at variable times, but also because you would need a mechanism for that. an un-elegant and purposeless solution perhaps. i think we can say we have a shared environment whatever its nature...

wil i would think many do, i doubt if it is much different to the general populous. i would expect that many either think there is an escape clause [purgatory or that they are young and will change and it will all be ok in the end etc], or that they are not to blame. some perhaps feel that...

oh of course, i see what you mean now. there is a certain complacency in considering ourselves to be eternal, i would balance that by agreeing with you, in that life is important eternity is ‘now’ as well as forever. we only get one chance to watch our children grow and to see a given sunrise...

alex p like atheists do? if there is eternity and if reality is eternity, should we not live by the truth? i don’t think we can fully realise reality as not being eternity ~ another debate [and a big one], but i have yet to find an explanation that counters mine ~ or that explains reality as...

paladin, hi i am unrighteous too ~ in the context i am thinking that you mean, but i had a more specific kind in my mind, evil-doers [rapist etc] rip-off merchants and the like. words are limiting to meaning, or i should have explained better. :) cat, hi yes thats where i was going with...

‘where will you spend eternity’ hopefully not with either the righteous or the even more annoying unrighteous. :D to the point though... > a message often seen splashed across billboards outside churches etc, yet no one seams to have noticed the rather obvious logical contradiction. eternity...

thats really cool! i like google earth, i looked around everywhere russia n' all sorts of places. it will be great when they make a full version of the ancient world, i would think that much of it would be imagined to some degree, but archeology has a lot of details so if researched properly it...

Q20008, hi . if we were to say ‘genius is the result of the entire product of man’ [Z] then go further and say that genius and humanity is the end product of evolution, then perhaps we begin to draw a bigger picture of things and the reason ‘WHY’ we have come into being! sure there may be many...

nick A yes indeed i have, reality is now but at the same time it is ‘all’, i have asked people how all-time can exist? i.e. how can ‘events’ can be qualified as anything but present in the now! the now is built on the foundations of history ~ in a sense things are only solid when they are...

seattlegal, hi i completely agree about function over form, or essential nature over both ~ like ‘you’ [soul/spirit/mind] over your human for and the functions thereof. ...or maybe you mean the same thing probably ~ life over body. in this thread i think infinity is the life, the essence and...

yup i agree with you tao, further that we cannot qualify a given thing as entire nor as an exact fraction, there are only ‘middles’. see my latest thread about oranges, in the philosophy section. :)

nick a, hi God is the infinitely small because the matter associated with the pure conscious being of God is so fine and vibrates at such a rate that for us it isn’t matter so doesn’t take up space as we see the universe. i have different view, that gods ‘consciousness’ is literally...

paladin thats excactly what needs to be addressed imho. indeed ‘things as they are’ have no duality. nick a, hi or it exists as one including time and space. i see what is meant though, i do think that there is a level where the union can be itself aside from its abstract contents...
