im still making a point

what isnt?

Time??

 

kizen

WHAT, is a paradox.
Paradox
Can be an apparently true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition; or it can be, seemingly opposite, an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth

what isnt? Us

I see no such thing on this thread.
Interesting is that the word is same in english and german..


occam

 

tis interesting.

yes, there is a slight paradox in that the thread has been led off topic, so it doesnt now correspond to its title?

defying intuiton perhaps

 

kizen..lol

The thread is Darell and i waffling.. if you want to join collect ticket at front desk

We can talk about objective law, event horizons, and soul desroying terror.

ah, well im sorry. I was just having some trouble picking from the vast array of possible subject matter.

boggles the mind you know.

soul destroying terror sounds curious

 

Razorofoccam: ... cogito ergo sum...
* Cogito: Lt. cognize; think; be aware; be conscious -- Ergo: Lt. therefore -- Sum: Lt. Am

I perceive, therefore I am,or
I think, therefore I am, or
I am conscious, therefore I am, or
I am aware, therefore I am
​

(I'd like to call up your origional statement)
Razorofoccam: Reality is not perception. Perception is a thing allowed by reality.
* What is reality without perception to define it, to give it definition, substance, validity? If you can substantiate this, that reality is not perception, I would like to understand this.

As for the rest of the post, I'm afraid that I cannot comment without it digressing into manifold disagreements. Best to let it be for me and just stick with what I do know ... for now.

For Kizen

well lets get back on topic

"Mara is described both as an entity having a literal existence, just as the various deities of the Vedic pantheon are shown existing around the Buddha, and also is described as a primarily psychological force - a metaphor for various processes of doubt and temptation that obstruct religious practice..........................."
