  13. How the entire Universe is smaller than you imagine!; Since the street level of understanding the 'Big Bang' immediately brings all sorts of paradox (logical red lights indicating a false, usually, basic assumption) so as for Occam's Razor to leave nothing behind. If you make the error of taking it 'literally', that is. Look deeper. ;) We pretty much know that our Reality is 'non-dual', meaning "A Singularity"!! Being a Singularity, time, as we perceive it in thought cannot possibly exist, thus, neither can dimension/space! One way to see it is as follows; the 'tiniest bit of time' possible is called a Planck Moment. (Look it up!) It doesn't last long enough to have sufficient temporal qualities for any motion to be possible. No, not the tiniest sub-sub-sub atomic particle or wave function. So, what is our concept of time, one after the other moment, like a string of popcorn! But what do we really have; 0+0+0+0+0+... (every moment of Universal existence, ever) = '0'! The entire 'time-span' of the Universe is all moments perceived occurring simultaneously! NOW! Now look up Planck Volume and learn how the Universe can have no dimensional existence, either. One can go on re; Consciousness/Mind, but this is enough to put the silly notion of mortality, time away as the only perspective. It isn't, it's just another perspective from Hell. Hint; Duality is absolutely to perceive the Singularity, non-duality! We are how God knows Ourself! Imagine, if all that is perceived by everyone being One Consciousness, ever, is one giant flash of Divine Self Knowledge, in a single 'moment', I think that calling it all a 'Big Bang' is a bit ... understated? ;)

  15. 'Good' and 'evil' exist in the hateful judgmental vain mind of the observer! "We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are!" Schizophrenia is the fragmentation of that which is One! The distinction of good/evil is early stages. Like the distinction between you and the rest of the Universe. And the insanity grows. Knowledge/Reality/Truth is ALL inclusive, One! 'Knowledge'; "that which is perceived! To Exist is to be perceived. To be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! Knowledge IS Truth! Truth IS Knowledge!

  16. I lived next door to him. He was a master and a true genius, and some child attempting to steal some chops by dissing him and his proven work is simply pathetic. You are the sham. And you expect me to waste 3 hours listening to you? lol Get your Nobel Prize (and master the bongos, etc...) and then come back! What's your next video;; "God is a Sham"?

  25. "I say that next to God there is no nobler thing than suffering. Right suffering is the mother of all virtues, for right suffering so subdues the heart, it cannot rise to pride but perforce is lowly." - Meister Eckhart "Harkee, all rational souls! The swiftest steed to bear you to your goal is suffering; none shall ever taste eternal bliss but those who stand with Christ in depths of bitterness. Nothing is more gall-bitter than suffering, nothing so honey-sweet as to have suffered. The most sure foundation for this perfection is humility, for he whose nature here creeps in deepest depths shall soar in spirit to highest height of Deity." - Meister Eckhart Fortunately, all do not suffer in life, for instance the Saved/Enlightened.

  29. He had my attention right until he started rattling on about death. With no evidence, he states factually what comes 'after' death. He doesn't know. What kind of philosopher spews such things?
    2
  30. Electricity creates consciousness ~~~ Absolute refuted by science and philosophy balderdash! Too ignorant from too many directions that it is impossible to know where to start. There are many well educated fools. The One Consciousness/Mind is primary and essentially all that exists. 'Electricity' creating ('creation/causality' is IMPOSSIBLE!) Consciousness? Is this guy hallucinating?
    2
  31. 'Time' is an illusion of Ego/thought/duality, mortality. Mortals buy into (believe) the illusion. Immortals do not.

  32. Life can only exist if death exists! They define each other.

  36. That is the only way they can do it. There is a limited amount of resources on this planet, enough for everyone to live well. When someone has more than their share, then another must do without. True charity is never taking more than your 'share' of anything! ;)

  37. Forgive them because they truly don't know what they do!

  38. A paradox is not to be 'solved', an arising paradox is a sure sign of an error, usually an error in a basic assumption. For instance 'time travel' always provides paradoxes, not to solve, but to tell us that time travel is not possible and we shouldn't fund scientists who might attempt the impossible and waste our money. That is one reason that scientists commonly fear and hate philosophers. ;)

  39. This is Reality/Truth as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart

  52. Be careful, dude, my wife found me living quite comfortably under a tree, Now we are in a home. The down side is that... I'm in a house, a great place to pile up things that are relatively unnecessary. The upside is that I am finally learning to Love and be Loved! Perhaps if I only had a dog under that tree... ;)

  53. (The One) 'Consciousness' is that which perceives. All-inclusive! (The One) 'Mind' (aka; Knowledge/Truth) is that which is perceived. All-inclusive! No more, no less, no conditions. This is Reality as I perceive it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind (memory/concepts; the little bit before us at the moment). If there must be a 'why' to Reality, I'd say that the following quote answers the question beautifully; "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart
    2
  54. Belief IS irrational! It is an illness! "Belief'; is a pathologically symptomatic virus-like infection of thought!" Leading to insanity! The three main symptoms displayed are; 1) the constant (compulsive) need to 'defend', 2) to 'validate/feed' 3) and to propagate (spread) the 'infection'!

  57. Man with 200 IQ Explains the Secrets of Reality ~~~ Sorry, but a high IQ means that you take tests well... It does not mean anything regarding reliable knowledge of 'reality'! Like so many on yt, he talks endlessly about something of which he has no experience/knowledge! A toad discussing Salvation! Pffft! You would want to ask the Saved/Enlightened/Mystic about Reality, or at least a scientist/philosopher! Sorry, IQ doesn't mean squat in this matter! Or any other, it appears. Does it at least score you a free coffee? Didn't think so, but... heck, I'm just an ordinary fool, not special like you! ;)

  58. Didn't Trump give Biden the legal right to have him killed as an enemy of America? WTF is wrong with Biden for not using the power that Trump gave him?!?! No wonder he lost across the board! Lesson learned? He has one week to do it...

  60. Why is our universe fine-tuned for life? | Brian Greene ~~~ Why is the puddle the exact shape for the hole in which it sits? It was 'fine tuned'? Same idiotic unsupported question. When you can demonstrate the the Universe IS 'fine tuned for life', THEN you can ask 'why'. Until then, that is no more than a foolish assumption sans any evidence scientifically or philosophically. No more than just another 'belief' infection.
    2
  61. What Creates Consciousness? ~~~ Real science and real philosophy show us that 'creation/causality' is impossible. For the slow, that means that not anything 'creates' Consciousness! One Consciousness/Mind is the only Reality; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart Chalmers is still deluded by Descartes' failed 'Cogito' and has a 'hard problem' of body vs mind; The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for 'Universal Truth' had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality. Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality! Pit transcended! Too bad Chalmers didn't get the update while still alive! ;)

  62. Sorry, but I do not swallow bull excrement! 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! 'Return' is nonsense.

  64. heh... how can motion, or anything else 'exist' if there is no time for it to do so? ;)

  65. Is This The Best Argument For God's Existence? ~~~ No. All the common pro-God arguments presented fail terribly when examined in critical thought, they are filled with logical fallacies. What these arguments will do is to provide food for a growing belief. A belief infection is very un-particular regarding it's dietary habits, whereas philosophical critical thought is very particular and doesn't allow the fallacies and errors that belief infections feast upon! ;) It is much simpler to offer and sustain the argument/theory that everything exists! Wanna know how easy that would be? To Exist is to be perceived. To be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! Now, unless one can sustain a valid argument against what seems to me a Universal definition (Occam at his finest ;), it is no longer reasonable to question whether (fill in the blank) does or doesn't exist. Everything exists! Thus, logically, God Exists. And Faeries, and unicorns, and dreams, and.... everything else! ;) "Logic will get you from A to Z; Imagination will get you everywhere!" - Albert Einstein Now, why are these 'arguments for God's existence'? The Faithful, the Saved/Enlightened/Mystic certainly don't need them. I think that these are fodder for the Faithless believers, the unSaved, and all these theories/proofs will never take the place of Faith. Feeding the belief virus with them is about all they're good for.

  69. Why the BEST Argument for God Fails ~~~ Oh, that's easy, because all has to pass your personal biases and preconceived notions and beliefs and culture and massive juvenile ignorance and inexperience. 'Proof/evidence' is only what you, personally, are willing to accept! Some accept an acorn as proof and evidence of a Creator God! Here's a very little known 'argument for God's existence' that cannot possibly be refuted, sanely, rationally; All the common pro-God arguments presented fail terribly when examined in critical thought, they are filled with logical fallacies. What these arguments will do is to provide food for a growing belief. A belief infection is very un-particular regarding it's dietary habits, whereas philosophical critical thought is very particular and doesn't allow the fallacies and errors that belief infections feast upon! ;) It is much simpler to offer and sustain the argument/theory that EVERYTHING exists! Wanna know how easy that would be? To Exist is to be perceived. To be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! Now, unless one can sustain a valid argument against what seems to me a Universal definition (Occam at his finest ;), it is no longer reasonable to question whether (fill in the blank) does or doesn't exist. Everything exists is the new heuristic! Thus, logically, God Exists. And Faeries, and unicorns, and dreams, and.... everything else! ;)

  71.  @StarlingInSpace  There is no such thing as an innocent bystander! Karma is absolutely perfection, never wrong! There are no accidents! How do you know that one of those "innocent women (no men?) and children ("Ooooo the chiiiildren!!!" Wail!) didn't have to die to save 1,000 people who didn't? An emotional appeal is far from rational.

  72. What Creates Consciousness? ~~~ As Causality/Creation is logically and scientifically impossible, your question is trivial. Consciousness is a Singularity, non-dual.

  79. "In the Beginning is Mind (Concepts), and Mind is with Consciousness and Mind is Consciousness." - Mystic Bible Other than Mind (Concepts/Memory), there can be nothing else existing. Everything Exists! Everything is Real! Everything is Truth! Existence/Reality/Truth is all inclusive! 'One'! That which is perceived exists! That which exists is perceived! Not a thing exists that is not perceived! Not a thing is perceived that does not exist! (There is no, nor can there be, any evidence to the contrary!) The only way that Mind can be known, the only way that God can Know Itself, is through perception by the One Consciousness via all of us unique Perspectives! ;) Consciousness cannot be 'understood/Known' because it is unconditional, transcendental, One, beyond the duality of thought/imagination or concepts! Mind/Self, on the other hand, can. "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart "The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one and the same." - Meister Eckhart

  80.  @avigoel321  You’re right that God can’t be fully understood, because He is so above and beyond us. ~~~ Universal Truth! ;) But, since God loves us, He became a human being (Jesus Christ), and lived... ~~~ Local beliefs, not Universal. Jesus, according to the tale, was a man. Christ was/is the 'divine' spirit of unconditional Love! Together they show that anyone can be One with God, Heaven here, now! Any man! Read my post again. Peace
    1
  81.  @avigoel321  anybody can start to can start to experience the joy of Heaven right now. ~~~ Not 'start to', but completely! Here, Now! However, you’re wrong in saying that Jesus is a “local belief” and “just a Man.” ~~~ In the story, Jesus represents all man that can be One with God, otherwise whats the point? I think that your dismissive "just" is a bit premature, perhaps? Jesus is God and human simultaneously. Unless He is God, His attitude, words, actions, and personality don’t make sense. ~~~ The 'sense' is that "I and the Father are One" is, as he demonstrated, available to all! That is the 'good news'. Salvation/Enlightenment is not 'restricted' to those infected with certain beliefs. Beliefs have nothing to do with Salvation!
    1
  82.  @avigoel321  Again, local stories and myth and metaphor. There are the Saved/Enlightened long before Jesus was alleged to walk the Earth. It is vanity to assume that your little story is all there is, ever, for anyone. The Saved see God EVERYWHERE! Every word is the Word of God! Notice that even if he wasn't a historical figure, the point of the story remains the same!
    1
  83.  @avigoel321  What I'm saying is that whether or not the story is taken literally or metaphorically, the Salvation offered remains the same thing. As in Einstein's E=Mc2, the equation could have come from anywhere yet it is still useful to all! The "Salvation" available is mentioned is all scripture, but worded according to local tradition, of course, so the locals can also 'get onboard'. Sorry, but it seems vain to assume that all other "local tradition" is (insert negative judgment here) and ours is the only. That is a bit shortsighted. Open your eyes a bit and see the bigger picture, the truly Good News, the real 'gospel', whether seen through Buddhist eyes or Hindu or Jewish! All scripture agree at certain points, the Universal Truth! The only apparent contradictions is... yup, 'local tradition' not being seen for the limiting factor that it is. The bottom line, as far as I can see (barring 'local traditions') is, again; Anyone can be 'Saved/Enlightened'!; "Born again" into the state of Unconditional Love = Salvation = Enlightenment = Heaven = Immortality "Heaven is at hand!" - Jesus Here! Now! Anything else is Hell! Unconditional Love is ALWAYS Known by It's Unconditional Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (Charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith... ALWAYS! "I and the Father are One!" "As I Am so can you be!" "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." -John 15:5 One with Christ = One with God! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart It is the LIFE of the truly Saved displaying the Virtues of Unconditional Love that is the gospel, the Light in the darkness! “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi Of course my references are Xtian as that is the 'local lingua franca'. I could offer references in any local tradition. Truth is One! ;)

  87. How Does Light Work? The (tiny unique bit of the) One Mind (concepts/quantum wave field) before you, at the moment, is the concept of light and color. Like monitors, we (Consciousness) perceive that bit of Reality before us. Another moment might be the concept of dark. Or rain. Or a dream. How does 'light and color' work when you are dreaming? (Are there really photons?) Just like in your waking dream! Like in The Matrix, all that is perceived is 'concepts', Mind. "Blessed is the Darkness, for it is Light!" It appears to me that a very basic erroneous assumption of any 'light' theory seems to be the automatic acceptance that 'light', whatever it is, is 'out there' somewhere, before we perceive it. When I'm all tucked in bed and go to sleep and dream that I am outside, under a beautiful blue sky with a bright sun above, what is this 'light'? Is it different than the light that I perceive when not 'asleep' and 'dreaming'? Are there photons in the night dream? Where are the photons coming from in my dream? Where/what is the 'spacial dimensions' through which they race? Or the 'time' that constrains them? Since Consciousness is that which perceives, not some wakeful or sleeping lump of meat, the 'same' light, the same Universe, is perceived by the Consciousness in that place at that time. The same all-inclusive Truth (Mind) is perceived by Consciousness, whether eyes open or closed, or a toaster at the moment.

  91. @ Please feel free to help me understand? See, I 'feel' that your understanding is conditional. Perhaps you can educate the both of us. Argue my points rather than hit and running. I understand that all that is 'conditional' is false, illusionary. People in Hell have conditional Faith, conditional love, conditional everything. All through a glass darkly. As far as Truth goes, which is unconditional, those in Hell remain blind.

  96. Lets begin with a definition; 'Consciousness' is that which perceives. 'Knowledge' is that which is perceived. All that Exists is perceived, all that is perceived exists. Existence is, thus, all-inclusive. If Reality is predicated on Existence, then Reality is all inclusive! If Truth is predicated on Reality, then Truth is ALL INCLUSIVE! If you cannot see Truth somewhere, then the 'lack' lies within you! This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart

  99. Pascal's Wager makes total sense, actually ~~~ Only if you are lacking any ability at critical thought, thus leaving you open to pervasive belief infections. Pascals Wager has been long debunked because of logical fallacies that are elucidated all over the net! If you are a 'believer', logic just isn't important to you. Not real logic, anyway, perhaps 'believer logic' which is any old fodder that doesn't threaten the belief.

  101.  @Ninjaeule97  No! I was not saying that at all!! I was being illustrative that 'believing' these mirages/illusions (your perceptions) to be 'Reality', for the 'believer', it has to be the only reality. The one that you perceive and believe, in the face of someone else's different version, means that you will believe that you are right and he is wrong because he differs from the(!) obvious reality that you perceive. And he will think the same, if a believer. The First Law of Soul Dynamics; "For every Perspective, there is an equal and opposite Perspective!" "The complete Universe/Mind/Reality/Truth/God... or any feature herein, can only be completely defined/described as the synchronous sum-total of all Perspectives!" Not being a 'believer, I do not 'believe' in 'flaws' (imperfection); "Every kind of partial and transitory disequilibrium must perforce contribute towards the great equilibrium of the whole.." - Rene' Guenon We good? ;)

  103. Reality is all-inclusive! This is Reality/Truth as I see it; To Exist is to be perceived. To be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! Now, unless one can sustain a valid argument against what seems to me a Universal definition (Occam at his finest ;), it is no longer reasonable to question whether (fill in the blank) does or doesn't exist. Everything exists! Thus, logically, God Exists. And Faeries, and unicorns, and dreams, and.... everything else! ;) "And he actually never at any point addresses the widely recogized "hard problem" of how human brain activity seems to give rise to consiousness" ~~~ It doesn't. The 'hard mind vs body problem' of idiot western philosophers derives from Descartes's failure of his "Cogito..."! The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for 'Universal Truth' had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality. Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality! Pit transcended!

  108.  @NoMoreNarrative  >>>suffix: -verse denoting an area of activity or interest or a section of society distinguished by a particular characteristic. ~~~ UNI, being One, is the "particular characteristic" "mediaverse" denoting a fictional world associated with a particular character, television series, author, etc. "Rowling's new Potter website promises additional information about the Potterverse" ~~~ Doesn't have to be fictional to mean 'world'; technoverse, for instance; an all inclusive 'world' of technology. When I said honesty was lacking, I saw that you just grabbed one particular definition, and incorrect one, to alter the meaning of Universe. It was the 'suffix' version that is relevant, not poetry. ;)

  114. Brian Cox - What Was There Before The Big Bang? ~~~ This crap is what happens when scientists are clueless in philosophical ability; the critical examination of basic assumptions. So, now that I point out his cluelessness, blinded in his own head, you ask me if I have anything better? Just so happens... ;) Since the street level of understanding the 'Big Bang' immediately brings all sorts of paradox (logical red lights indicating a false, usually, basic assumption), Occam's Razor leaves nothing behind, if you make the error of taking it 'literally', that is. Look deeper. ;) We pretty much know that our Reality is 'non-dual', meaning "A Singularity"!! Being a Singularity, time, as we perceive it in thought cannot possibly exist, thus, neither can dimension/space! One way to see it is as follows; the 'tiniest bit of time' possible is called a Planck Moment. (Look it up!) It doesn't last long enough to have sufficient temporal qualities for any motion to be possible. No, not the tiniest sub-sub-sub atomic particle or wave function. So, what is our concept of time, one after the other moment, like a string of popcorn! But what do we really have; 0+0+0+0+0+... (every moment of Universal existence, ever) = '0'! The entire 'time-span' of the Universe is all moments perceived occurring simultaneously! NOW! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Now look up Planck Volume and learn how the Universe can have no dimensional existence, either. One can go on re; Consciousness/Mind, but this is enough to put the silly notion of mortality, time away as the only perspective. It isn't, it's just another perspective from Hell. Hint; Duality is absolutely to perceive the Singularity, non-duality! We are how God knows Ourself! Imagine, if all that is perceived by everyone being One Consciousness, ever, is one giant flash of Divine Self Knowledge, in a single 'moment', I think that calling it all a 'Big Bang' is a bit ... understated? ;)

Not understanding this, these 'thinkers' just continue rattling off down a lost siding, snagging grants however they can; "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Occam's Razor trims the fat from theory and leaves us with a gleaming Universal Truth; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...).

If Reality is predicated on Existence, then Reality is all inclusive! If Truth is predicated on Reality, then Truth is ALL INCLUSIVE! If you cannot see Truth somewhere, then the 'lack' lies within you! Vedanta teaches that; "’Reality’ must rigidly adhere to that which is in an unchanging state of ‘universal’ permanence.” Our purpose for existing is; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment).

  138. "If the Universe Came From Nothing, Where Did Nothing Come From?" ~~~ The paradoxes encountered in this line of 'reasoning' are sure signs of error, usually in your basic assumptions. The critical study of basic assumptions is most of what philosophy is for. The faulty basic assumption that needs tweaking/removal via Occam's Razor is that the Universe is something that 'came from' something/somewhere in 'time'. That is the false assumption. Now, 44 seconds in, there are many more errors, which bode poorly for the rest of the vid, which I skipped fearing more of the same superficial and common errors and fallacies.

  154. The fundamental soup is Mind (aka quantum undifferentiated potential wave field). Mind is One and fundamental in Reality. All 'particles', all that is perceived to exist, is by the perception of Consciousness on Mind/wave field, causing the apparent collapse of wave functions into 'stuff'. Like elementary particles. The One Consciousness perceiving the One Mind is Reality. The 'stuff' that is perceived is not 'stuff', it is Mind. Unless you believe the illusion, and thus deluded, are 'materialists'. Come to think about it, Descartes' "Cogito..." update supports that autonomous 'things-in-themselves' (not needing Consciousness to exist), do not exist!; The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for an indisputable autonomous 'self' (or any 'things-in-themselves') had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality with his (in)famous "Cogito..."! Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... 'hard problems'. Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality! Pit transcended! All that is perceived as 'Reality', all inclusive, is the hologram of Mind as perceived by Consciousness.
    1
  155.  @wlienzzz  "Wave functions don't collapse. It is an illusion." ~~~ Agreed! The definition of 'Consciousness' is that which perceives (observes). One thing perceived is particles. Any 'collapse' into 'stuff' is an illusion. The only 'collapse' is of the vast majority of Reality/Mind vanishing (collapsing) from each individual unique momentary Perspective (Soul) that, collectively, comprise the One Consciousness. Not anything exists to 'collapse'. Movement is an illusion. This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment).

  156. The question of what 'creates' Consciousness is already philosophically faulty! It forces us to assume that Consciousness is 'created'. Consciousness/Mind is all that exists, ever! All that is ever perceived (what exists is perceived and vise versa) is Mind/Concepts/Memory. Consciousness/Mind is One! The quest for 'what created it' shows a neck-deep lack of understanding of science (quantum physics) and fair little insight. The entire notion of 'creation' is just as fallacious! Spending energy and mental masturbatory sweat on wondering where the water in a mirage goes when we approach it seems ... wasteful! Non-duality must be understood and lived to have the foggiest notion of Truth/Reality! A Soul is a unique Perspective, each and every moment of existence. Every Soul is a fragmentary 'mirror' of Consciousness that reflects the Mind/Concepts/Memory before it. Every Soul is a unique Perspective of the One Truth feeding One Consciousness. First Law of Soul Dynamics; "For every Perspective, there is an equal and opposite Perspective!" Thus the perfect balance of the Universe! It is by us Souls that Consciousness/Mind becomes Self Aware! "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart "The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one and the same." - Meister Eckhart

  178. The theory of 'free-will/choice' fails scientifically and philosophically. 1) Free-will/choice implies making a moment 'otherwise'; no moment in Universal existence can ever be 'otherwise'. 2) Another reason is that as all is One, for you to have 'free-will' to change the moment to have a cheeseburger, you would have to alter the entire Perfectly Balanced One Universe! To actually believe in free-will/choice' is a symptomatic God Complex! Illness. 3) 'Time' and motion and dimension are illusions, and 'free-will' is the ego's way of admitting ignorance of that reality. Reality is Holistic, not linear; "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Holistic.

Before just jumping up and declaring that one thing exists and another doesn't, demonstrate your one thing. I haven't failed to do that in what I offered. ALL that exists is perceived! All that is perceived, exists, thus; existence is ALL-inclusive! Reality is based on Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! Truth is based on Reality, thus Truth is all inclusive!

  194. 'Free-will/choice' is an egoic (thought) illusion, a 'feeling'. To 'believe' an illusion is delusion! If you believe in free-will/choice, then you are pathologically delusional, symptomatic of a God Complex. The very sin of Pride! That you walk in Pride in no way affects God's Knowledge; your Pride is a feature of God's Omniscience! Not even God has 'free-will/choice'! But, through you, and all other 'free-will/choice' believers, God has a God Complex! ;) It seems to me that if and when we understand that there is no 'free-will/choice', how can we go on judging and hating and punishing and torturing each other?

  199.  @bzxcv98760  Please consider your question in light of the following; This is Reality as I perceive it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind (memory/concepts; the little bit before us at the moment). If there must be a 'why' to Reality, I'd say that the following quote answers the question beautifully; "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart On the 'Quantum' Mind The One "Consciousness" is that which perceives. The One "Mind" (quantum wave field/'undifferentiated potential'; Bindu... Reality/Truth...) is that which is perceived. The 'field' doesn't 'collapse' into a Cuisinart when perceived by Consciousness; our momentary perception of the tiny bit of the Complete Reality before us is just the Cuisinart shaped bit left when the rest of the Universe/homogeneous Mind dropped from perception, collapsing away from our tiny focused 'keyhole of perception', so we only see the 'blender'. Like carving; just take away all the wood that isn't a bear. All unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprise the One Consciousness perceiving the one Mind for One timeless (Planck) moment! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma, reincarnation, linear time...). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! 'Consciousness' is that which perceives. 'Knowledge/Mind (quantum wave field)' is that which is perceived. To Exist is to be perceived (by Consciousness); to be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! One! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! One! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! One! Knowledge is Truth is Reality is Existence, all inclusive, One! Here! Now!

  210. Since the street level of understanding the 'Big Bang' immediately brings all sorts of paradox (logical red lights indicating a false, usually, basic assumption), Occam's Razor leaves nothing behind. (If you make the error of taking it 'literally', that is.) Look deeper. ;) We pretty much know that our Reality is 'non-dual', meaning "A Singularity"!! Being a Singularity, time, as we perceive it in thought cannot possibly exist, thus, neither can dimension/space! One way to see it is as follows; the 'tiniest bit of time' possible is called a Planck Moment. (Look it up!) It doesn't last long enough to have sufficient temporal qualities for any motion to be possible. No, not the tiniest sub-sub-sub atomic particle or wave function. So, what is our concept of time, one after the other moment, like a string of popcorn! But what do we really have; 0+0+0+0+0+... (every moment of Universal existence, ever) = '0'! The entire 'time-span' of the Universe is all moments perceived occurring simultaneously! NOW! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Now look up Planck Volume and learn how the Universe can have no dimensional existence, either. One can go on re; Consciousness/Mind, but this is enough to put the silly notion of mortality, time away as the only perspective. It isn't, it's just another perspective from Hell. Hint; Duality is absolutely to perceive the Singularity, non-duality! We are how God knows Ourself! Imagine, if all that is perceived by everyone being One Consciousness, ever, is one giant flash of Divine Self Knowledge, in a single 'moment', I think that calling it all a 'Big Bang' is a bit ... understated? ;)

I find it hilarious that the fellow who pasted different words on the exterior of glasses of water and claimed that the words that he wrote on the glasses affected and changed the crystalline structure of the water is taken seriously by anyone capable of thought!!

  212. God's 'name' is all names, ever in One! Non-dual! It is ignorance to think that the Universe, that Consciousness/Mind has a 'name'. It is lost in the dualistic illusion/delusion!

It is an obvious question, though, for those suffering a hard 'mind-body problem'. ;)

No good, valid scientific evidence exists (yet?) that Jesus was historical. No independent eyewitness accounts during a highly written about, first hand, era and area! Of course, he didn't have to be. He exists in the story.

If we are (in) Heaven; Saved/Enlightened/Mystic, then Karma is a Blessed thing. Karma is God and We are One with God, immortal, timeless... If you are standing one micron away from me, and are (in) Hell (and we know, don't we)... well, the good part is that Armageddon will sort out all the haters and those incapable of unconditional Love, according to your Karma. No more Hell (for you). Yay. And one less hater to pollute the Universe in preparation for... Universal Unconditional Love! Universal Salvation/Enlightenment! Mystically, Karma is the momentary (local) reflection of the Absolute Perfection/Balance of the One (ALL-inclusive) Universe (aka 'God', Consciousness/Mind, etc...)! Whatever the moment brings is in perfect accord with the Universe/God, whether comfortable or not. Just accept the moment's Karma with Gratitude! Acceptance is unconditional Love and Karma is 'God/Universe, etc...'. To accept Karma is to accept 'God', to become One with! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me.

  247. Occam's Razor leaves us with; "Knowledge; is that which is perceived (at the moment)!" Simple, Universal! ;) "Belief'; is a pathologically symptomatic virus-like infection of thought!" The three main symptoms displayed are; 1) the constant (compulsive) need to 'defend', 2) to 'validate/feed' 3) and to propagate (spread) the 'infection'! Science without philosophy, and vice versa, is blind, sterile and fumbling. Fortunately, even a bling hog will find an acorn occasionally. That is why scientists generally fear philosophers; with a few words a philosopher can prove that the scientist is wasting our money on a project that is impossible! ;) Without science to guide him, the 'philosophers' hangs out on YT with a select few clinging to every word and sending their pennies and buying mugs..

  249. Why is there something rather than nothing? The question; "Why is there something rather than nothing?", contains a fatal logical flaw, giving rise to the paradox that arises from the error of assuming that there are actually 'things in themselves', 'out there'. This is Reality/Truth as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart 'Knowledge'; that which is perceived (by Consciousness)! To Exist is to be perceived (by Consciousness); to be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! One! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! One! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! One! Knowledge IS Truth! Truth IS Knowledge! Is Mind... One! ;) Thus "nothing", as it cannot be perceived (or infinites), cannot exist, on any level. Either Thus the question is a good example of the fallacy of a false bifurcation. Giving rise to more paradox! The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived, therefore an 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego! "Logic will get you from A to Z; Imagination will get you everywhere!" - Albert Einstein

  250. Is This The Best Argument For God's Existence? ~~~ No, it fails logically in the same manner as all the other 'proofs' of God's existence! The 'causality/creation' theory fails philosophically and scientifically! There is only one logical 'proof' of God's (or anything's) existence, and this and the rest on youtube aren't it! They all fail! The purpose of all these 'proofs' are as fodder for the Faithless, the unSaved/unEnlightened! And all these spurious 'proofs' will never fill the hole that lack of Faith/Salvation/Enlightenment leaves! If the 'theory' of causality is correct, then every moment of existence is both a 'cause' and and 'effect'. Simultaneously! So, even if this 'theory' is correct (it ain't), what is the point? You cannot identify any distinction between a 'cause' and an 'effect' because(?) there is none. So again, any essential distinction between the two is illusory, a matter of perspective, but it is pragmatic under certain circumstances/Perspectives. Like making the kiddies believe that a demon will gobble them up if they go down the old abandoned mine. The illusion makes their lives a bit more comfortable. A good scientific reason why 'causality' is not possible is; "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Reality is not linear, it is Holistic! ;)

A belief infection is very un-particular regarding it's dietary habits, whereas philosophical critical thought is very particular and doesn't allow the fallacies and errors that belief infections feast upon! ;) It is much simpler to offer and sustain the argument/theory that everything exists!

Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart Free Will, ~~~ Free-will/Choice vs Determinism (and their bastard children 'compatibility and in-compatibility) is already a fallacy; a false dilemma. That they are already a fallacy, it shouldn't be shocking that there is a superior theory. The quote from Feynman at the end is the death knell of both 'free-will' and 'determinism' and their bastard children 'compatibilism and un-compatibilism! But first, a definition; "Free-will/Choice"; an egoically satisfying theory as to the meaning of a feeling/thought (ego). Get it? Whether the concept of 'free-will/choice' is anything more than an egoic delusion seems to be simply answered by 'deconstruction'. The punch line is that All is One! The Enlightened/Saved, Mystic know this experientially. Quantum physics certainly supports this. So, starting from this point, One single Universe, in perfect balance... One Truth perceived by Consciousness through infinite unique Perspectives (Souls), us. Not anything is actually moving, time is the theory to 'splain the illusion of motion, and now there are concepts of a 'self' distinct from Self with the ability to alter the entire Universe to, most often, make their own little life a bit more comfortable. After all, if you could actually 'change' anything, in the great One, you'd have to also 'change' everything! Talk about an ego trip, a God complex, no wonder people believe in 'free-will/choice'. Not to mention that everyone has the Godlike ability to alter the Universe for a Big Mac! Is this not the very definition of 'chaos'? The concept/belief does have quite the twitching support group, though. I suspect that the notion of free-will/choice is just another acquired belief virus. The symptoms of the defenders supports that theory. So, deconstructing Truth, 'free-will/choice' is impossible, other than as a notion/belief/delusion. Every moment of existence exists Now!

  256.  @Roksarr228  I was referring to the dictionary definition of 'will'. And unless you have a good, supportable reason to find your own definition of a word, for communication, we define terms commonly in the dictionary. That way we can converse.

No matter what definition that you like, the meaning must involves 'changing' Reality, somehow, in accord to fulfill your desires (will). And before you invent one, more than just you must agree on the definition. Usually those slight differences are not that important, ~~~ Thank you. but in this case they are and as i said before there was no definition of free will in this video. ~~~ You want to stop playing around and educate all of us as to what 'you' mean when you use the term that is so gd different than common usage. If there was one, for example one that you found, answer would be much more obvious. ~~~ Did you just land on Earth? 12 years old? New concept?

Most certainly not Unconditional Love, which is transcendental, immortal, One with God; the Love that the truly Saved/Enlightened/Mystic experience! Anyone can be 'Saved/Enlightened'!; "Born again" into the state of Unconditional Love = Salvation = Enlightenment = Heaven = Immortality Here! Now! Anything else is Hell! This is how YOU Know you are Saved/Enlightened/Mystic! Unconditional Love is ALWAYS Known by It's Unconditional Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (Charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith... ALWAYS! The display of these Virtues is how others know that you are Saved! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi

  270.  @ReflectionsofLife  With Love! ;) A question, as you learn Love, do you find that it is not really as important who the other person is as you learn to love them? The point is that we are learning to Love, to "Be Love"! One can do that with anyone! (I'd never mention this to Boopsie, of course!) Anyway, God Bless

  271. Outlasting the Universe is ignorance personified! We are One with the Universe and exist for exactly as long as the Universe lasts! 'Time' is not real but an illusion! This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart

  272. Your shout tells us all that you are a juvenile wanting to be noticed. People notice Love, it shines brighter and is much rarer than that egoic blurt.

  273. "The Third Eye" is not some throbbing lump of meat! It is not physical! The Third Eye, aka Philosopher's Stone in Alchemical circles that turns crap into gold, IS A METAPHOR! It is not a literal 'stone' or literal gold! Neither is the Third Eye anything physical! The Third Eye is a metaphor for the space of unconditional Love! In this space we have transcended mortality, time, are One with God in Heaven, Here! Now! Everywhere we cast our eye there is only Beauty because there is only Truth/God to be seen, and the Beloved is always Beautiful! Want the real low-down, rather than fumbling with chemicals and rocks or scalpels? The Third Eye is immediately opened upon Salvation/Enlightenment/Mystic! The Good News is; Anyone can be 'Saved/Enlightened'!; "Born again" into the state of Unconditional Love = Salvation = Enlightenment = Heaven = Immortality = One with God! "Heaven is at hand!" - Jesus Here! Now! Anything else is Hell! Unconditional Love is ALWAYS Known by It's Unconditional Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (Charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith... ALWAYS! "I and the Father are One!" "As I Am so can you be!" "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." -John 15:5 One with Christ = One with God! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart It is the LIFE of the truly Saved displaying the Virtues of Unconditional Love that is the gospel, the Light in the darkness! “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi

  274. Do You Have a Free Will? ~~~ The question presupposes a few basic assumptions that are false. The first is that there is a "you" to "have" anything. The second is that with the dictionary defining 'will' as "desire", what is "free desire"? Are you 'free' to desire anything you like? Seems kind of meaningless. Besides, the egoic delusion of free-will/choice (AKA: Pathological God Complex) has been well refuted scientifically and philosophically for a long time. The ego/identity manufactures an illusion of a "You" who certainly loves playing God, capable of altering the entire Universe for a cheeseburger! lol

  276. I am not writing the following of my own free-will or choice; Trump(ism); medicine is NOT supposed to taste good! The more efficient the medicine, the nastier it is. Be honest, kids, look over your shoulder at the world for the last few hundred millennia. Examine it closely. At what point is it such a Utopia that you would manifest it here, now, if you were able? The fact is that man has been given sufficient rope to prove that he knows best, that 'ego uber alles'. And failed. So, with the advent of Trump, we find once enemies allied together against a common enemy. Finding bridges that were once unperceived, working together to reorganize our networking into win/win scenarios. Reworking the way we each relate to each other and the environment and money right down to the individual. Finding networks that bypass irrational governments. It seems that a new world order is only threatening to those who own everything already. The planet is in desperate need for a really nasty enema, and it appears that Trump is it! ;) Karma is NEVER wrong!

  278. Today doesn't exist because it is always Now! Now! doesn't exist because there is no evidence of anything existing 'before' the moment that we perceive 'it'.

  279. So I ask myself whether it makes any difference to anyone (be honest) if someone offered a cohesive theory of everything (ToE)? Basically, it appears that the only way that you can truly, fully, Know the ToE is to experience it. Experience = Knowledge (moment by moment). To experience the actuality is to experience the Oneness of all, all inclusive! To become Enlightened, to become unconditional Love. Then you Know, no theory necessary. Build your theories around Truth/Experience. So to my question, if I offered the perfectly all inclusive ToE, everyone would march with torches in the night! Since we cannot see the 'bigger picture', we see apparent discords, anomalies, contradictions... in a Reality that is, ultimately, in perfect balance. So, seek the most reviled theories and revisit them in 20 years or so and see what you think. If you have read this far, Blessings on you! ;) Okay, gravity, here it is (short version); Just take it for granted, please, that all that I offer is well supported by 'science' and critical thought, not to mention the most important, Experience! In true quantum fashion, every Planck moment exists simultaneously, Here! Now! Know how long a Planck moment is? There is not enough time left in it, the tiniest temporal slice possible, to contain anything that can be in motion. No motion is possible, at all, in that moment Here! Now! So taking "0" for this moment + 0 for this one + 0 + 0... until every moment of Universal existence, ever is counted, one hellacious long string of popcorn, there is still no motion possible; 0 + 0 + 0... = 0 Okay, so all moments existing here, now, it would be like a huge amorphous cloud of all possible moments. We are Perspectives, perceiving the tiniest bit of the Singularity, the ever Universe, all inclusive, at each unique moment. Our each perception is a unique Perspective, all Perspectives are perceived by the One Consciousness. Now the Universe becomes 'Self Aware', as we do. Gravity; in this cloud of moments, we all peer into the darkness of Mind like a laser beam, and this string of moments seem to line up like the still drawings of a flip book appearing to be motion. Like a movie. There are other Perspectives (Souls) who see their moments differently than we do. Consider the fullness of the ultimate cloud and all that is necessary to perceive it all. I see the apple fall (in an apparent motion, which is a false interpretation of evidence) and it appears to fall from the branch to the ground. But that is only one tiny Perspective. Another sees it 'fall' from the ground and attach itself, parasitically, to the branch! Both are Truth, as are all Perspectives. Gravity is simply a Perspective interpreting a mirage. Without gravity, in this 'theory', nothing in this inevitable Universe/Reality would be any different. No motion to take for granted, no time necessary to measure this mirage of 'motion'. No 'gravity' for which to make scientific sounding apologetics for an apple apparently 'falling' 'down' being the only Reality. There is nothing else to Perceive other than Reality. Everything exists, all inclusive. If you can imagine it, it exists in ('your') mind, like everything else. It's all in Mind! Just ran out of words. If you have suffered this far and are trying to imagine what I am talking about... Blessings and unconditional Love!

  280. Alan Watts mentioned that the brain acts as a reducing valve, keeping out most of the potential input to allow us to navigate our day to day world. Any form of relaxing that valve allows much more to enter that would not ordinarily be. Drugs, meditation, sleep deprivation, all have that function. Their use depends on what is being sought.

  284. It seems to me to be about 'communities'. Think of all the 'autonomous' individual critters that go into the community that we call 'me'; viruses, flora, fauna, bacteria... Each of these critters is a 'me'; a unique Perspective of the one Truth! I think that the majority of 'our bodies' is comprised of all these critters working in harmony for the betterment of all, a healthy body/'community (yet that sense of 'community' appears to fall way short from the 'individual' to the herd). One cannot see their place in the Great Perfection due to limited Perspective. As our tools increase the abilities of our perceptions, we can see ever larger/smaller pictures. The larger picture is that the little critters that make 'us' achieve their Oneness in us. Perhaps a 'larger picture' will finally demonstrate the coming together of all 'individuals' (as perceived in ignorance) in the One Universe? This is Enlightenment, the experiencing/Knowing of Oneness. Unconditional Love = Enlightenment = Truth! Isn't it wonderful how the more that we perceive, the more beauty we perceive? Everything works together in the greater harmony/balance/Perfection! Namaste' ;)

  285. actually, the Universe is non-temporal, non-dimensional... a Singularity!

  286. Debunk this; All the common pro-God arguments presented fail terribly when examined in critical thought, they are filled with logical fallacies. What these arguments will do is to provide food for a growing belief. A belief infection is very un-particular regarding it's dietary habits, whereas philosophical critical thought is very particular and doesn't allow the fallacies and errors that belief infections feast upon! ;) It is much simpler to offer and sustain the argument/theory that everything exists! Wanna know how easy that would be? To exist is to be perceived. To be perceived means to exist. Now, unless one can sustain a valid argument against what seems to me a Universal definition (Occam at his finest ;), it is no longer a reasonable statement (question) that (fill in the blank) does or doesn't exist. ;) Perceiving in your mind as concepts is the same place and way that anything is perceived. Did I just show that God exists?

  290.  @killerbee6484  Either everything that we perceive "began to exist" and was "caused", or not anything ever "began to exist", and not anything is/was "caused/created". Reality/Science/Philosophy suggests the latter. Reality is Holistic (immortal) not linear (mortal) as often thought. No 'time', no creation possible! ;)

  299.  @mechtheist  I love your feeble brain! ;) What I hear it saying, is that Pi is a theory describing a mirage. And if you give that train of thought it's head, it will take you to other theories and hypotheses describing more mirages, such as 'motion' and the theory of 'time' to describe it, and the theory of space/dimension theorized for the 'action' to happen, etc... So, no, other than as a concept, for which there is evidence, not anything actually exists. Thus true circles exist if they exist in your... as a concept. ;) Just dropped back 'cause you might be interested in what Zeno's feeble brain taught; In order to get from your table to the buffet, you have to cross 20 feet. But before you cross 20 feet, you must first cross... 10 feet. But... and on and on ad-infinitum!! Proving that 'motion' cannot possibly actually exist! Of course never a hit among the cud-chewing masses just going about their lives.

  307. 'Infinite' cannot exist (other than as a word, of course)! What exists is perceived, what is perceived, exists. 'Infinite' cannot, nor has ever been perceived. Even if you took every moment + every particle + ... in the existence of the Universe, it would still be a finite amount.

  309. A paradox is a sure sign of error! Especially in a basic assumption! 'Time' (travel...) leads to paradox because 'time' is an illusion, a theory to explain the illusion of 'motion'! If the theory of causality is accurate, then every moment of existence is both a 'cause' and and 'effect'. Simultaneously! So, even if this 'theory' is correct (it ain't), what is the point? You cannot identify any distinction between a 'cause' and an 'effect' because(?) there is none. So again, any essential distinction between the two is illusory, but it is pragmatic under certain circumstances/Perspectives. Like making the kiddies believe that a demon will gobble them up if they go down the old abandoned mine. The illusion makes their lives a bit more comfortable. A good scientific reason why 'causality' is not possible is; "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Reality is not linear, it is Holistic! ;)

Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! One! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! One! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! One! Knowledge IS Truth! Truth IS Knowledge! Is Mind... One! ;)

For Truth to be Truth, it must be all inclusive! Dualistic discrimination only belies reality.

  329. A 'paradox' is a sure sign of error! Usually in a basic assumption! The problem with your basic assumption leading to your paradox, is that the 'infinite' can exist. Other than as a meaningless word, a space saver saying "all there is", such as putting "all there is" of moments comprising Universal existence in a basket, the number is still finite. There is no 'beyond' the Universe, the Universe is all-inclusive! It doesn't expand, our 'vision' 'evolves' and it appears to expand. This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment).

Besides, all and everything that you can 'point to' can only be evidenced to exist in your concepts. If you believe that concepts reside in your head, then all your pointing should be to your 'head' (another concept). Sorry, the only Universal definition of "exist" is to be perceived! Everything exists! Occam's Razor has discarded your faulty arbitrary restrictions on 'Reality'. ;)

  334.  @callums1235  1. I never said the map of the territory didn’t exist. A map of my home town exists (I can point to it) but the map ≠ my town. ~~~ Obviously, so? And you cannot demonstrate that you town actually exists outside your concepts. 2. “Your ‘argument’ is meaningless, your definition of reality is faulty.” Do you understand the problems with Aristotelian logic? You should research this before arguing with people. ~~~ Perhaps you might address my real points rather than waving your hand dismissively and telling me to go do your homework. 3. Things you can’t point to that exist: numbers are a good one. “👉4” here you can see a depiction of the number 4. Using the statement “the map ≠ territory” this symbol you’re seeing doesn’t equate to the actual thing or represents. The actual number 4 doesn’t look like ‘4’, it has no form and cannot be pointed to, yet it must exist. An animal can have 4 children for instance, regardless of human observation. ~~~ There is no "actual thing" that you can demonstrate exists. There is no "thing in itself" that can be demonstrated. All we have is 'map' and we imagine a real town. You have to imagine it because it cannot be put into evidence for verification.

  335. Consciousness pre-dates life ~~~ Right away I see error! Not any moment 'pre/post'-dates anything else. As any (real) philosopher and scientist knows is that 'time' is an illusion! For these folks to base their theories on the 'inherent' existence of 'time' shows me their ... capabilities. "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Not linear but Holistic! Every moment of Universal existence is simultaneous! "Life' and 'death' are simply dualistic illusions of thought, the same place dualistic illusions of 'time' exist (mortality). This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived, therefore an 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego!

  336. One cannot believe in 'nothing' as nothing cannot exist. Only (and all) things exist. One can 'hold no beliefs', but that is not the same as 'believing' something, in that case 'nothing'. After decades of study, I have determined that all beliefs are 'caught'! They are viruses, pathological aberrations of thought, insanity. Pathologically, beliefs MUST defend themselves (think wars, think the greatest atrocities ever committed by man was under the brain rotting influence of belief infections), be fed (there are YouTube websites to feed any hungry belief!) and propagate (be spread). When we see and hear people acting this way, it is symptomatic of a belief infection. Belief infected brains are incapable of rational thought on the subject of their belief so are rarely ever 'argued out of' a belief. They will do anything necessary to survive and propagate! A religion is a congregation of folks infected with the same strain of belief. Mysticism transcends belief. Heaven, transcendental Bliss, all health... is the state of no-beliefs!! No one has ever deliberately harmed another unless he is infected with a 'belief'! Beliefs are weeds that cannot take hold in the soil of critical thought! Unconditional Love aka Truth aka Enlightenment is everywhere! Unconditional Love aka Truth... is known by it's attendant Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (Charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith... But, please, don't believe it. Live it!!

  343. "What is Truth?" ~~~ What isn't?! All that Exists is perceived, all that is perceived exists. Existence is, thus, all-inclusive. If Reality is predicated on Existence, then Reality is all inclusive! If Truth is predicated on Reality, then Truth is ALL INCLUSIVE! If you cannot see Truth somewhere, then the 'lack' lies within you! Vedanta teaches that; "’Reality/Truth’ must rigidly adhere to that which is in an unchanging state of ‘universal’ permanence.” Such ultimate Truth is transcendental, Heaven, thought is not. Little truths are falsifiable, Truth is all-inclusive and not falsifiable. If we fall for the dualistic illusions of thought/Ego, we never leave Hell (ever divisive)! Information sharing improves but not the limited boundaries of 'thought'. We have to find it beyond the Ego, beyond thought.

  344. The Most Controversial Problem in Philosophy ~~~ Really? Seriously? How long will this clickbait work? It reminds me of the ball under one of three cups. Guess which? If one cup is removed that you didn't choose, you now get the opportunity to change your answer with the remaining two. Should you change your answer? YES! The odds of being correct at first guess was 1/3. Now, if you reject the cup that you chose that was 1/3 and switch, you now choose the 1/2 cup! Much better odds and more winning! Neither of them warrants the hysterical clickbait claim. ;)

  348. Do we see reality as it is? ~~~ Of course! The micro-tiny bit of the One Truth to be perceived before us at any moment. 'Knowledge'; that which is perceived (by Consciousness)! To Exist is to be perceived (by Consciousness); to be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! One! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! One! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! One! Knowledge IS Truth! Truth IS Knowledge!

Ultimately he proposes a unique Universe not only for every person or perceiving creature, but a unique Universe for every moment of existence! This theory emerges from the depths of duality/ego! Perhaps this fellow might benefit from viewing "What the Bleep Do We Know?" But rational discourse is not going to tempt an emotional need for a belief to abandon it's host. There is One Universe, ALL-inclusive of all unique Perspectives. We are all unique itsy, bitty, Perspectives (mirrors) (Souls) of Consciousness, that perceive the bit of Mind that is before us. Mind is all that is perceived by Consciousness. Yes, to exist means to be perceived! The Universe exists because we (Consciousness) perceive it.

  373. Why No One Has Measured The Speed Of Light ~~~ Because not anything actually 'moves' in Reality, so the 'speed' of anything is an illusion.

Is it different than the light that I perceive when not asleep and dreaming? Where are the photons coming from in my dream? Are there photons in the night dream?

  375. Mystically, Karma is the momentary (local) reflection of the Absolute Perfection/Balance of the One (ALL-inclusive) Universe (aka 'God', Consciousness/Mind, etc...)! Whatever the moment brings is in perfect accord with the Universe/God, whether comfortable or not. Just accept the moment's Karma with Gratitude! Acceptance is unconditional Love and Karma is 'God/Universe, etc...'. To accept Karma is to accept 'God', to become One with! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart

  378. 'Disorder'; "Every kind of partial and transitory disequilibrium ('disorder') must perforce contribute towards the great equilibrium (balance/order) of the whole.." - Rene' Guenon 'Evolution'; A great theory predicated on illusions, and not understanding that 'time' is an illusion. Reality is not linear/dualistic but holistic, all moments of existence existing simultaneously, at once; non-dual, The Singularity! So nothing actually 'changes', much less 'evolves'. And there is no 'begins' or 'ends' of anything, much less Consciousness. 'Consciousness' is that which perceives. 'Knowledge' (Mind/Truth) is that which is perceived. No more, no less, no conditions. All inclusive. This is Reality as I perceive it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind (memory/concepts; the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart (the 'why'!) The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for an indisputable autonomous 'self' (or any 'things-in-themselves') had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality with his (in)famous "Cogito..."! Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... 'hard problems'. Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality = illusion! 'Duality' is the illusions of 'thought', which is Ego. Mortals believe (identify with) these illusions. Immortals do not. Pit transcended! All that is perceived as 'Reality'(the entire Universe, ever, all-inclusive), is the 'Hologram' of the One Mind as perceived by the One Consciousness in One all-inclusive moment. This is The Singularity, non-duality, and it is perceived in no time, one single Planck moment. All existence, Universal 'Self Knowledge' in a single moment! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma, reincarnation, linear time...). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Holistic. Eternal doesn't mean all the moments strung together like a string of popcorn, eternal means NO 'time'! No time to exist! 'God's' complete Self Knowledge occurring in one timeless moment! Talk about a 'Big Bang!!'!! Parenthetically, there could never have been an original literal Big Bang event as a 'Bang' is sound and sound requires air to be perceived, to exist.

  387. A 'paradox' is a sure sign of an error, usually in a basic assumption. For instance, there are all sorts of 'time' paradoxes for the simple reason that 'time' is an illusion, and if taken for Reality, results in logical paradox! Like 'time travel'! Occam's Razor leaves us with; "Knowledge; is that which is perceived (at the moment)!" Simple, Universal! ;) "Belief'; is a pathologically symptomatic virus-like infection of thought!" The three main symptoms displayed are; 1) the constant (compulsive) need to 'defend', 2) to 'validate/feed' 3) and to propagate (spread) the 'infection'! Attempts at 'justification' falls under symptoms #1 and #2! Knowledge needs no 'justification' and Truth cannot be 'falsified'. 'Proof' is whatever you are willing to accept. The updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived, therefore an 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego! Too bad Descartes didn't have the advantages of modern science to guide him.

At least they can come up with some 'evidence', unlike the disingenuous Atheist. A religion is a congregation of believers hosting the same or similar strains of 'belief'. Atheists have their organizations/clubs, also! Religion! The average Atheist is no different than that which they appear to despise! Gotta love the irony! ;)

  401. Context = duality. No context = non-duality/Singularity. Context = conditional, temporal, mortal. No context = unconditional, timeless, Immortal. Define, in your question, exactly what you mean by 'we' and 'exist'? That is how a philosophical question might begin, with a definition of terms. Not necessary, of course, with a mere recitation of 'beliefs'.

(Whatever "stands for" means) They are self-contradictory statements.

I gotta tell you, that it's hard to keep up with your 'shimmering logic'! ;) I feel as if I just jogged! So, what are you really trying to say, that you are a believer in God or a believer that God doesn't exist? Not any real difference between the two that I can see.

It doesn't 'come from' or 'go to' anywhere, it exists when and as perceived.

  413. How Does Light Really Work? The (tiny unique bit of the) One Mind (concepts/quantum wave field) before you, at the moment, is the concept of light and color. Like monitors, we (Consciousness) perceive that bit of Reality before us. Another moment might be the concept of dark. Or rain. Or a dream. How does 'light and color' work when you are dreaming? (Are there really photons?) Just like in your waking dream! Like in The Matrix, all that is perceived is 'concepts', Mind. "Blessed is the Darkness, for it is Light!" It appears to me that a very basic erroneous assumption of any 'light' theory seems to be the automatic acceptance that 'light', whatever it is, is 'out there' somewhere, before we perceive it. When I'm all tucked in bed and go to sleep and dream that I am outside, under a beautiful blue sky with a bright sun above, what is this 'light'? Is it different than the light that I perceive when not 'asleep' and 'dreaming'? Are there photons in the night dream? Where are the photons coming from in my dream? Where/what is the 'spacial dimensions' through which they race? Or the 'time' that constrains them? Since Consciousness is that which perceives, not some wakeful or sleeping lump of meat, the 'same' light, the same Universe, is perceived by the Consciousness in that place at that time. The same all-inclusive Truth (Mind) is perceived by Consciousness, whether eyes open or closed, or a toaster at the moment.

  420.  @DonaldRobertson  A valid philosophical discussion doesn't require logical fallacies (ad-populum fallacy), or lie to make points; "there's not a single scholar who doubts that Socrates actually existed."
    1
  421.  @DonaldRobertson  Sure but we're not engaged in philosophical discussion. We're talking about a question of historical fact. ~~~ Your 'historical facts' are a philosophical discussion! That you even use terms like "historical facts" tells me that you do not think philosophically using critical thought and evidence. A 'fact' is merely something any specific person is willing to accept. Your 'facts' are definitely someone else's myth and distortion. 'The First Law of Soul Dynamics' tells us that; "For every Perspective, there is an equal and opposite Perspective!" You're right that the consensus of experts doesn't settle the matter definitively but, as I think most people realize, in social media comments it would be impossible to critically review the evidence so for the sake of brevity it's more convenient to point to the scholarly consensus ~~~ I remember when the 'scholarly consensus' demonstrated that the Earth was flat! Do you? As a matter of fact, I have found that every 'scholarly consensus' ALWAYS has proven incorrect, fallacious as time seems to add to our 'vision'. That is why using it is a logical fallacy; appeal to authority. - not as conclusive proof that Socrates existed but as strongly suggesting that we can't merely dismiss his existence out of hand. At the very least, to prove that point convincingly, you'd need to engage with the evidence and scholarship, which says the opposite. ~~~ Try this on for size; This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). All the evidence for the existence of anything exists as a concept/memory being presently perceived. If you look at your hand, how long would it take the Universe to race all that information into your 'mind' and you finally say, see, there it is. All that you refer to is your concept. There is no evidence of any 'there is is'. So, there is never any evidence that there is anything-in-itself. Some science education might help you understand that when anything is ultimately reduced and examined, all ti be found is "Mindstuff"! But my job isn't to convince, it is to answer questions, if you have any. There is no argument to Truth. ;)

  422. Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics: How are they related? ~~~Four ways that I can see off the cuff; 1) Consciousness is the complete, all inclusive, 'set'. 2) Quantum physics is a 'subset'. 3) Quantum mechanics is a subset of quantum physics. 4) This is Reality/Truth as I perceive it; 1a) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2a) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3a) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind (memory/concepts; the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart The One "Consciousness" is that which perceives. The One "Mind" (quantum wave field/Reality/Truth) is that which is perceived. The 'field' doesn't 'collapse' into a Cuisinart when perceived by Consciousness, our momentary perception of the tiny bit of the Mind before us is just the Cuisinart shaped bit left when the rest of the Universe/homogeneous Mind dropped from perception, collapsing away from our tiny focused 'keyhole of perception', so we only see the 'blender'. Like carving; just take away all the wood that isn't a bear. All unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprise the One Consciousness perceiving the one Mind for One timeless (Planck) moment! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! To Exist is to be perceived (by Consciousness); to be perceived means to Exist. Nothing exists that is not perceived, nothing is perceived that does not exist! Thus, Existence is ALL-inclusive! One! Reality is predicated upon Existence! Thus, Reality is ALL-inclusive! One! Truth, being predicated on Reality must, also, be ALL-inclusive! One! Knowledge is Truth is Reality is Existence, all inclusive, One!

Atheists are disingenuous, trying to disguise as Agnostic (which is intellectually honest, unlike Atheism).

"The complete Universe/Mind/Reality/Truth/God... or any feature herein, can be completely defined/described as the synchronous sum-total of all Perspectives!" Vedanta teaches that; ”’Reality’ must rigidly adhere to that which is in an unchanging state of ‘universal’ permanence.” Ponder, please, the implications of this definition. Beyond, there is not. Other than, there can not be. This is the ‘One Self’, beyond which there cannot be others..

  435. "In the Beginning is Mind (Concepts), and Mind is with Consciousness and Mind is Consciousness." - Mystic Bible Other than Mind (Concepts/Memory), there can be nothing else existing. Everything Exists! Everything is Real! Everything is Truth! Existence/Reality/Truth is all inclusive! 'One'! That which is perceived exists! That which exists is perceived! Not a thing exists that is not perceived! Not a thing is perceived that does not exist! (There is no, nor can there be, any evidence to the contrary!) The only way that Mind can be known, the only way that God can Know Itself, is through perception by the One Consciousness via all of us unique Perspectives! ;) Consciousness cannot be 'understood/Known' because it is unconditional, transcendental, One, beyond the duality of thought/imagination or concepts! Mind/Self, on the other hand, can. "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart "The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one and the same." - Meister Eckhart

  439. If you are in Hell, or not in Heaven, Here! Now!, it is because your 'heart is not open'! Such a 'mystical open heart' (state of non-duality) is experienced by the Saved/Enlightened/Mystic! Anyone can be 'Saved/Enlightened'!; "Born again" into the state of Unconditional Love = Salvation = Enlightenment = Heaven = Immortality "Heaven is at hand!" - Jesus Here! Now! Anything else is Hell! Unconditional Love is ALWAYS Known by It's Unconditional Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (Charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith... ALWAYS! "I and the Father are One!" "As I Am so can you be!" "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." -John 15:5 One with Christ = One with God! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart It is the LIFE of the truly Saved displaying the Virtues of Unconditional Love that is the gospel, the Light in the darkness! “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi

  443. Creation/causality is philosophically and scientifically impossible. Thus 'Consciousness' is not created or caused. Philosophy and science also refute materialism. "What Creates Consciousness?" Is an invalid question based on the invalid assumption that Consciousness was created. It's only a 'hard problem' until you retrace your steps to where you first accepted an invalid basic assumption. For instance, retracing one's steps to Descartes invalid 'Cogito' (the source of your 'hard problems'), we find; The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for an indisputable autonomous 'self' (or any 'things-in-themselves') had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality. Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality! Pit transcended!

  451. This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind. Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we 'perceive/reflect' is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). (See Quantum's wave (quanton) collapse when perceived = Mind being perceived by Consciousness) The First Law of Soul Dynamics; "For every Perspective, there is an equal and opposite Perspective!" "The complete Universe/Mind/Reality/Truth/God... or any feature herein, can be completely defined/described as the synchronous* sum-total of all Perspectives!" (See Einstein's General and Special Theories of Relativity re;"Perspective"!) *Synchronous; "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! All fits together seamlessly...

  456. How Does Light Work? The (tiny unique bit of the) One Mind (concepts/quantum wave field) before you, at the moment, is the concept of light and color. Like monitors, we (Consciousness) perceive that bit of Reality before us. Another moment might be the concept of dark. Or rain. Or a dream. How does 'light and color' work when you are dreaming? (Are there really photons?) Just like in your waking dream! Like in The Matrix, all that is perceived is 'concepts', Mind. "Blessed is the Darkness, for it is Light!" It appears to me that a very basic erroneous assumption of any 'light' theory seems to be the automatic acceptance that 'light', whatever it is, is 'out there' somewhere, before we perceive it. When I'm all tucked in bed and go to sleep and dream that I am outside, under a beautiful blue sky with a bright sun above, what is this 'light'? Is it different than the light that I perceive when not 'asleep' and 'dreaming'? Are there photons in the night dream? Where are the photons coming from in my dream? Where/what is the 'spacial dimensions' through which they race? Or the 'time' that constrains them? Since Consciousness is that which perceives, not some wakeful or sleeping lump of meat, the 'same' light, the same Universe, is perceived by the Consciousness in that place at that time. The same all-inclusive Truth (Mind) is perceived by Consciousness, whether eyes open or closed, or a toaster at the moment.

Like monitors, we (Consciousness) perceive that bit of Reality before us. Another moment might be the concept of dark. Or rain. Or a dream. How does 'light and color' work when you are dreaming? (Are there really photons?) Just like in your waking dream! There is no 'light' out there, no 'color', no 'out there' out there. Just like in The Matrix, all that is perceived is 'concepts', Mind, 'programming'. That's how 'light' actually works. Besides, as 'motion' is impossible, logically, how exactly would 'light' work? "Blessed is the Dark, for it Is Light!"

  471. All the common pro-God arguments presented fail terribly when examined in critical thought, they are filled with logical fallacies. What these arguments will do is to provide food for a growing belief. A belief infection is very un-particular regarding it's dietary habits, whereas philosophical critical thought is very particular and doesn't allow the fallacies and errors that belief infections feast upon! ;) It is much simpler to offer and sustain the argument/theory that everything exists! Wanna know how easy that would be? To exist is to be perceived. To be perceived means to exist. Now, unless one can sustain a valid argument against what seems to me a Universal definition (Occam at his finest ;), it is no longer a reasonable statement (question) that (fill in the blank) does or doesn't exist. ;) Perceiving in your mind as concepts is the same place and way that anything is perceived. Did I just show that God exists?

  472. 'Consciousness has no 'origin'. 'Creation/causality' are theories describing illusions, mirages. This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...).

  479. It is such a rare treat to witness a person with the capability to think for himself, in this age of plummeting intellect. Real critical thought, real philosophy informed by science! A perfect storm! Here's my take on the subject; It appears to me that a very basic erroneous assumption of any 'light' theory seems to be the automatic acceptance that 'light', whatever it is, is 'out there' somewhere, before we perceive it. When I'm all tucked in bed and go to sleep and dream that I am outside, under a beautiful blue sky with a bright sun above, what is this 'light'? Is it different than the light that I perceive when not 'asleep' and 'dreaming'? Are there photons in the night dream? Where are the photons coming from in my dream?

  485. Ya know, no real scientist would ever say that "science/physicists have proven" anything! Science makes theories and attempts to disprove them! The process never ends. If it hasn't been dis-proven in 2 millennia, it could be used as fodder/proof for believers. But it is still not definitively 'proven'! For the shuffling minions, 'proof' is whatever you are willing to accept that fits snugly into your biases, etc...! ;) A scientist who is challenged by philosophical thought is a rudderless juggernaut spewing death and cell phones. The philosopher unversed in scie.. quantum mechanics, is sterile and ungrounded.

  489. 'Free-will/choice' is an egoic illusion, a 'feeling'. To 'believe' an illusion is delusion!

That you walk in Pride in no way affects God's Knowledge; your Pride is a feature of God's Omniscience! Not even God has 'free-will/choice'! But, through you, and all other 'free-will/choice' believers, God has a God Complex! ;) It seems to me that if and when we understand that there is no 'free-will/choice', how can we go on judging and hating and punishing and torturing each other?

"The complete Universe/Mind/Reality/Truth/God... or any feature herein, can only be completely defined/described as the synchronous sum-total of all Perspectives!" .Balance. Atheism is the unevidenced BELIEF that God doesn't exist! There is NO rational support for such a belief/claim. Even Atheists deny this truth, mealymouthed, but it appears that their predominant mantra is; "God does not exist!" For which claim, evidence is impossible! Even the other 'faiths' can find some evidence for their God; Atheism, none at all! Oh, by the bye, 'paradoxes' are sure signs of error, usually in a basic assumption. They are not to be touted as you do, they are to be investigated and the basic 'false' assumption needs to be corrected until paradox no longer arises. The touting of paradox meant that my time watching had ended.

Other than in your thoughts, time travel is no more possible than wetting your whistle from a mirage in the desert. Time is a mirage and no one travels on a mirage.

That turns the dross of our everyday mind/life into Universal unconditional Love/Enlightenment/Truth... crudely referred to as 'gold'. Only fools take that literally!

  538. @ everything is perceived ~~~ Absolutely correct! Everything that exists is perceived, everything that is perceived exists! at the speed of light, ~~~ This is not perceived, it is hypothesized in 'thought'. Thought is (ego) the illusion of duality, and thus the illusion of 'time'. Without the illusion of 'time', there can be no 'speed of anything'!

Now!! even gravity. ~~~ If there is no 'time', there cannot be 'gravity' as there can be no 'motion' (nor dimensions in which it can happen). We do not perceive gravity, we hypothesize it in thought (illusion). Thus all the paradoxes that these things give rise to when critically examined, indicating error, usually in a basic assumption. Time dilation caused by high velocity is just perception catching up to time. ~~~ No more real then (time) the mirage in the desert. ;)

  541.  @UMMAT1100  Your 'laws' attempt to describe an illusion, two illusions, well, more than two! The illusions upon which a 'physical Big Bang' is predicated are; 'time' and 'motion' and 'physical things-in-themselves' and 'dimensions'. The common understanding of the 'Big Bang' is crawling with paradoxes when critically examined. A paradox is a sure sign of error, usually an unexamined basic assumption. This is why 'time' theories all lead to paradox except one, there is none. "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma, reincarnation, linear time...). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Reality is Holistic, not 'linear'. That means that all moments of Universal existence exist simultaneously. No 'evolution', no 'expansion', no time to exist! The only 'fine tuning' is in your thoughts (imagination), and 'need' to feed your 'beliefs'.

  542. @ This is Reality as I perceive it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind (memory/concepts; the little bit before us at the moment). There are only 'concepts', there is no 'material world independent of needing to be perceived to 'exist'. (See; quantum mind) "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart (the 'why'!) The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for an indisputable autonomous 'self' (or any 'things-in-themselves') had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality with his (in)famous "Cogito..."! Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... 'hard problems'. Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality = illusion! 'Duality' is the illusions of 'thought', which is Ego. Mortals believe (identify with) these illusions. Immortals do not. Pit of materialism and illusion/delusion transcended! All that is perceived as 'Reality'(the entire Universe, ever, all-inclusive), is the 'Hologram' of the One Mind as perceived by the One Consciousness in One all-inclusive moment. This is The Singularity, non-duality, and it is perceived in no time, one single Planck moment. All existence, Universal 'Self Knowledge' in a single moment! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma, reincarnation, linear time...). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Holistic.

Scientifically and philosophically you'd be wrong, even if your wrongness is a tiny feature of Truth. You are at the flat Earth stage and taking you by the hand to start from the beginning is not an option. Why not just do a quick search of "materialism fails" or "materialism debunked" and do some reading? Even quantum debunks materialism! ;)

  549.  @AlexReynard  Alright, rather than this idiotic babble, if you have one particular point with which you disagree, first, make sure that you understand what I'm saying, usually by rational questions, and then if there is still a 'problem, elucidate it. "If the genuine peace that zen describes was possible, I'd like to see it. But I'm sure as hell not seeing it from you, for instance." ~~~ Hahaha! I hardly have to live up to something (imaginary) that you read or heard about but never experienced. You wouldn't know it if it bit you in the... ankle. Knowledge is experience.

  550. What Creates Consciousness? ~~~ What a perfect example of a paradox arising from the acceptance of a false basic assumption. The question assumes 'creation' which is, as these 'philosophers' aught to know, scientifically and philosophically impossible! A paradox is a sure sign of an erroneous basic assumption. Just follow that rickety train of thought for a moment to come crashing into paradoxes! ;) Lets see, if something/someone 'created' Consciousness, then he/she/it couldn't have been Consciousness. It is just as fallacious and time wasting as 'time travel'! Philosophers/scientists? Entertainers, perhaps.

    1
  585.  @kyloren3587  what's wrong with using the argument that all creation must have a creator? ~~~ The problem with that argument is that merely assuming that everything was 'created' doesn't make it so, and thus, it things aren't 'created', then we need posit no 'creator'. Positing a 'Creator', if examined, always leads to paradox, like; "Who created the creator?" and; "How can something come from nothing?" A paradox is a sure sign of logical error, usually in a basic assumption. In this case, the error is in the assumption of 'creation', which is logically and scientifically impossible. There's lots more, but, this should be a bit of food for thought! ;) That doesn't deny a 'God', just the notion of a 'creator' God.
    1
  586.  @kyloren3587  It would make sense for a limited object to be created by something and there is nothing in science that denies that. ~~~ I am in awe of someone who is familiar with all branches of science in all ages! You are so confident in your ignorance, how can I possibly even begin to teach you. If there were such a thing as 'free-will/choice', I'd exit now. As for questions that are about the creator himself ~~~ Nope. You just don't get to declare yourself 'right' and continue merrily along. Not with me. If you'd like to talk of God, feel free, but your imaginary 'creator' is your own dream unicorn, not mine. And you are unlikely to spread your belief infection to me. it doesn't necessarily have to have an answer that we know. We already have things that our brain can't comprehend, like infinity, ~~~ There is no 'answer' that is not known. There is no such thing as 'infinity'. Not perceived = not existing. And whining that "God works in mysterious ways..." is no argument. so that could easily apply to other things and it also applies to these questions. God has unlimited power and has other things we might not be able to comprehend, so it's not a paradox. ~~~ If God created the Universe, who or what created God? That is the paradox that is evidence that 'creation' is impossible. Except as a strain of belief. Everything exists. Plus, how would God Almighty have unlimited power but not be able to create something? ~~~ The question is another fallacy. The error is in the assumption that God "has unlimited power". Exactly what does that mean? Like PG&E? Trump? What, exactly, is this 'power'? Moving past this, the argument that "if God could, he would" is another logical fallacy, and also leads to paradox; "Can an irresistible God move an immovable God?" First, you cannot present any evidence that there is, actually, an "anything" "out there" that actually exists. Before worrying if your hallucination can or has been 'created', find out if it is an hallucination or not. The greatest mirage in the desert isn't going to quench your thirst. Spoiler; There is nothing out there. There is no out there, out there. No 'time' to 'be', no space or dimension in which to 'be', no motion... Reality ain't like you think. ;)

  589. 'Who', 'what', 'where', 'why', 'when', are the questions that lead further into illusion, not out of it. They lead into 'thought' which is 'Ego' which is 'Duality', illusion, and if believed, delusion. Why is there something instead of nothing? ~~~ Your basic assumption is faulty. Why just assume that there is 'something' and not nothing? Because that's how you interpret your personal perceptions? That isn't philosophy, it's idle chatter. In other words: Why does the universe exist ~~~ Again, your basic assumption that the Universe exists comes blasting across the table with no support for such a huge declaration. Philosophically examine your basic assumptions, learn some quantum science and, I suggest, that your questions will vanish with your ignorance! ;)

Talk about a Big Bang! ;)

  593. @ So, how should I respond to that? Thank you for sharing? You definitively stating that "time is not an illusion" sounds, to me, like me telling someone on the internet that I am living in London and the fellow, never having been to London, denies that it exists and insists that I am lying. It seems to me that if you cared to catch up to contemporary science and philosophy, just Google "time is an illusion" and feast on stuff that threatens your beliefs, if you are sufficiently courageous. And if you'd like to actually experience timeless existence, immortality, then become Saved/Enlightened/Mystic. ;)

  612. Since the street level of understanding the 'Big Bang' immediately brings all sorts of paradox (logical red lights indicating a false, usually, basic assumption) so as for Occam's Razor to leave nothing behind. If you make the error of taking it 'literally', that is. Look deeper. ;) We pretty much know that our Reality is 'non-dual', meaning "A Singularity"!! Being a Singularity, time, as we perceive it in thought cannot possibly exist, thus, neither can dimension/space! One way to see it is as follows; the 'tiniest bit of time' possible is called a Planck Moment. (Look it up!) It doesn't last long enough to have sufficient temporal qualities for any motion to be possible. No, not the tiniest sub-sub-sub atomic particle or wave function. So, what is our concept of time, one after the other moment, like a string of popcorn! But what do we really have; 0+0+0+0+0+... (every moment of Universal existence, ever) = '0'! The entire 'time-span' of the Universe is all moments perceived occurring simultaneously! NOW! Now look up Planck Volume and learn how the Universe can have no dimensional existence, either. One can go on re; Consciousness/Mind, but this is enough to put the silly notion of mortality, time away as the only perspective. It isn't, it's just another perspective from Hell. Hint; Duality is absolutely to perceive the Singularity, non-duality! We are how God knows Ourself! Imagine, if all that is perceived by everyone being One Consciousness, ever, is one giant flash of Divine Self Knowledge, in a single 'moment', I think that calling it all a 'Big Bang' is a bit ... understated? ;)
