    YOUR POST FEELS A LOT LIKE AN ATTEMPT AT REASONING/COMMUNICATION:confused:

    AND THAT IS

    VERBOTTEN!!!!!!


    ONE WORD BCE --- BULLSHIT

    THATS WHAT MY INNER SELF/INTUITION IS SAYING TO ME RIGHT NOW AS I READ YOUR CRAP.

    MUST BE TRUE... RIGHT?

    CAUSE I AM IN TOUCH WIT MY INNER CHILD/SELF/SOUL/TRUTH.

    YOU CAN'T DENY ME MY TRUTH CAUSE YOUR WORDS ARE HOLLOW VESTIGES OF YOUR RATIONAL SELF..

    AND WE'VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED...

    YOUR RATIONAL BEING THAT WANTS TO REASON WITH ME IS MEAN ING LESS & IM POE TENT IN THE FACE OF...


    MY "FEEL GOOD THOT"!

    WHAT I "FEEL" TRUMPS YOUR REASON!

    RIGHT??!!

  3. The purpose of life is to detach yourself from from greed, lust, ego, attachment, and anger. This will take all of humanity a zillion life times and keep repeating life until we do accomplish this. Other than this, i see no point :)

  5. How do you know it happens after death?

    How do you know you don't take it with you?

    A few more thoughts. Even though I had a straight A average in my major Philosophy in college (which to me never really counted for much of anything :) Ha), I never was particularly drawn to Western Philosophy which of course is what's taught in this country at most all universities. I always knew from my own experiences the limitations it brought to the table in any epistemological journey. And it was clear that only a handful of Western philosophers, although good and ethical people for the most part, had any real sense of the limitations of the methods they used in their search to know the nature of life.
    A few more quotes:
    "Whereof one cannot speak, thereon one must remain silent."
    - Ludwig Wittgenstein
    "The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere."
    - Empedocles
    "Therefore, if you want to discover nature's nakedness, you must destroy its symbols, and the farther you get in the nearer you come to its essence. When you come to the One that gathers all things up into itself, there your soul must stay."
    - Meister Eckhart
    "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
    - Albert Einstein
    "We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality."
    - Albert Einstein
    "Sitting quietly
    Doing nothing
    Spring comes
    And the grass grows by itself."
    - Paul Reps

  10. "how about a few more quotes to make it easier for me to accept that i hold a positive belief in the existence of something i have no proof of, i can't define and there is no need for"
