    Alien synthesis alienates.
    Animus animates animal.
    God does as he wills

    Why is it that all of my detractors in here can't even manage to formulate a clear argument, much less a cogent one?

    Is it the use of mind-altering substances that results in their apparent lack of coherence?

    Welcome to my ignore list. *LOL*

    Why do you call people who are willing to talk to you when you ask for thoughts, claim you are here to speed your development, detractors and query as to whether they might be drug riddled? That has all the allure of a mollusk. What is not clear or less than cogent about our statements? If you be specific your concerns can be addressed by something more than your choice of ignorance.

    i hear such metaphysical myth-weavers on the radio late at night ,
    and sometimes i'd sure like to call in incoherently . it's just as well
    i don't have a phone . you're just supposed to appreciate what they
    spin as a skill and an art or expect to be killed . expect death here
    anyway . the master spider-bot uses a micro flashlight to attract bugs
    then bloody eats them . i presume it wishes to lure the athiest ant .

    Hippie elders, old and wise,
    Cut thinking upstarts down to size.
    What need have we for facts and reason,
    s'long as Sativa is in season.

    Exactly, so nothing is the creator. Unbounded, unchanging out of which everything emerges.

    this works within the context of what exists physically, which may be all that can be demonstrated empirically. from my own experience i am unable to dismiss entirely the existence of the completely non-physical.

    what i do perceive as somewhat unlikely though, is for the non-physical to resemble what anyone thinks they know.

    did non-existence create existence? to the best of current knowledge, it certainly looks that way. could something non-physical have given it the push to do so. that's also one, though completely non-verifyable, possibility. but there are others. one being that the beginning was no beginning at all, but simply one more event in a much longer sequence of them. not a steady state, with such a dramatic fluctuation. but neither a closed cycle with only one beginning and end either.

    Everything emerges from everything else if not itself.

    Because it doesn't exist for you to dismiss. You would say though, that you simply don't know. ;-D

    Everything together in becoming.

    No because he has a mind to conceive the statement. The power of abstraction that which is not visible informing what we do.

    If he conceived it that way.

    In space. Without silence between notes there wouldn't be music.

    Yet particles are moving in space.

    everything we subjectively experience is a product of the mind. the mind is a product of the electrical activity of the brain, which is influenced by it's own biochemistry. alter the chemistry, and you alter the electrical patterns and activity of the brain, and thus the state of mind.

    without this electrical activity, there can be no mind, and thus no subjective experience

    Mind is communication between breath that lights the spark and flint the body that sparks when you strike it.

    You only think not everything is its appearance, your density. :-D


    Monkeyboy:
    Silence is supposed to be void of itself? LOL

    I don't believe in your nothing. Not that it matters. :-D

    Yet? You think the fact somehow runs counter to something I've said? Ride thedope train if you like dude!

    Everything and every think, is physical.

    Not to be rude - deal with it! :-D
