1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    But what if people tell you two completely contradictory statements, then, logically, one would have to be right!

    whatever names we invent for things are whatever names we invent for them. symbols in other words, not the things themselves. unless it is words themselves we are talking about specificly. it is true that everything we experience we do so inside our own heads. this neither proves nor disproves that there is an outside to our heads where events which stimulate this experiencing actualy take place. yet subjectively at least it would appear more probable that there is then that there is not.

    and why is thins? because for one thing, many experiences can and do get stimulated instintaniously without expectation, leaving little or no opportunity for even parts of our own minds that go usualy go unnoticed by our awairnessess to have constructed them.

    meaning isn't exactly the point of existence however.

    creating and exploring and the kind of world we all have to live in is.
    and the directions our individual priorities collectively influence it in.

    Yeh i hav thought that
    but i also think that things are things whether we like it or not... so for instance a tree isnt a tree coz we say its a tree...its still there whether we label it or not... if u get my drift?! Yes i happen to think things like that a lot...call me paranoid... haha
    its a all subjective

    i walked thru the same park everyday for years, alone,
    then i walked there with a friend, she said y'know that weird mailbox there
    and pointed at it, it was very obvious there was a mailbox there but if she didnt say it was there i wouldve never seen it.
    so i know its only there in my world cuz she told me it was in her world.

    All that really matter in life is what you figure out for yourself anyway.
