These are arbitrary areas used to divide people into imaginary groups, when in reality we are all unique people. Why do you want to divide people into groups?
Civilizations evolved wherever people lived, regardless of the color of their skin. "Whites" don't really exist. The color of your skin doesn't make you what you are, your actions do. I doubt you have actually done much with your life, which is why instead of identifying with your own achievements (because you have…
That sounds really fucking stupid. Also, why are you so hung up on 'the white people'? Why do you identify yourself that way? Do you know your ancestry? Do you honestly think you're 'pure white', or something like that?
I don't think anyone that posts racist-type messages is trolling. But I do think that saying ridiculous things like "God commands racial segregation" is probably trolling. That and all the other stupid shit you post. But, maybe you're not. Maybe you are just stupid. No, that sounds pretty personal. And using the bible as…
:rolleyes: Was just giving you the benefit of the doubt before, but now I think you're trolling. Or are you really this fucking stupid? Why shouldn't people fuck people of another color? Say it in your own words.
I believe our perception of a material world, this world we are constantly defining, creating through consciousness, dividing reality into separate 'things' and separate 'events', is a fall from eden. Full submersion in this 'dream state' is the way our ancestors perceived the world. Consciousness, individuality, the fear…
Really? That's interesting. Everything I've read on the subject leads me to believe consciousness has no location. Of course, during consciousness, we are using parts of our brain, particularly the language center located in our left temporal lobe. But that is not the same as saying consciousness occurs there. When you are…
Your parents are an extension of you. You might say, "I can't think my parents thoughts, I can't control their actions; they are not me". But they are. In the same way that you cannot control the beating of your heart or the functions of many other organs, or the interactions of the millions and millions of organisms that…
So? Your defining of the universe as unintelligent (or as something separate, or other than yourself, or whatever) is only arbitrarily defined by human standards, too. Really? First, before I get more into this, I would appreciate it if you would tell me a little about what you believe you are. Do you identify yourself…
What do you mean by 'dominate reality'? I think dreaming, dreamland, the dream state, drug-induced states, spiritual experiences - whatever you want to call it, it's all really the same shit - is very real. It is reality.
Of course there is life after death. 'You' perceive yourself as individual, but you are actually very much everything else. In the same way that you are your beating heart, you are also the shining sun. You are the Earth, and all life that exists anywhere.
I dunno man. I don't even know how accurate these 'facts' you're telling me are, since you've neglected to provide any sources. I was just providing an alternative explanation. However, I do think that it's silly to conclude that the ice caps are supposed to melt. Nothing is supposed to happen at all, shit just happens.…
I always thought it was because of human related, intense underwater vibrations - like oil drilling, seismic, or military explosive devices - that was fucking with these animals sonar so much that it was either completely screwing with their minds, or maybe only terrifying them so much that they would actually leave the…
What, did you expect respect and eternal love? don't tell me you're in love and there's no room for other guys don't think it's indestructible love can die, i've seen it die and born again like fifty times, man Leave her. Find someone else. Become a Mr someone else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flb6DC_qfOQ
Sure. I think it's healthier to face and deal with and problems or anxieties a person may be hiding from. Eh. I dunno about that. Some people may prefer not to face these things. Or to grow. But is that really better? Is avoiding it really even an option? Maybe not through psychedelics, but sooner or later everyone has to…
You seem to treat it as if it were a goal, as if it were something that needed to be accomplished, something you're chasing after. There is no reason why we are here. You can decide to dedicate your life to this, this spreading of love, or what have you, but there is no actual reason for reality or existence. It is…
Yea, why not? But it doesn't matter if we make this a heaven or a hell. If it happens, great, but it's still something you are imposing on to reality as a goal, and it does not matter if that goal is reached or not. If your ideal vision of reality is ever reached, nice. That would be very nice. But I don't think that it is…
Great. Sounds like a very nice thing of you to do. I don't agree that everything/anything has inherent purpose. You are imposing that purpose onto yourself. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with that, or that we shouldn't impose purpose. But I don't see any reason to believe anything actually has any purpose…
Actually it does just happen, and I would have to try very hard to prevent it from happening, and even then I would just pass out and continue to breathe once I become unconscious. I don't do it for any aim at all, I do it the same way I beat my heart or digest my food, or serve as an environment for countless other…
All you have simply done is simply imposed the purpose of "continuing life". But that's not really why I breath, breathing just happens. There is no why. Tell me, what is the purpose of continuing life? Oh, so in other words, that purpose which you impose on life? No, I would because my life spontaneously started. There is…
And what would you call the 'aim' of breathing, chris? I have no reason to believe that. Existence is purposeless, as far as I can tell. What aim, or purpose, do you believe existence has? I breathe without even having to think about it. :) It's spontaneous.
Mmmm, I think you can impose a purpose onto anything. You can see meaning in whatever you see meaning in. But I don't think it's actually there. And I disagree, obviously, that breathing has a purpose. You could impose a purpose; you could say that the purpose of breathing is to keep me alive, but all you're doing is…
Everything is completely pointless. Life is completely pointless. But people do enjoy talking about this sort of thing, and I don't see any reason not to. Just because you die and lose consciousness, you don't think you could be born again and regain it? It happened this time, didn't it? Are you not alive? Why couldn't it…
Yes, on/off/on/off, consciousness, non-consciousness, consciousness, non-consciousness. How could one be without the other. I never said you die, and consciousness just goes on. I said you aren't really what you think you are. What you are is the whole picture. Everything. What you think you are is just one little wave,…
Of course we die. That's how it goes. One minute you're there, the next, you're gone, the next ... peek - a - boo! So you believe death is The End. The end of what? 'Your' life? What are you? You might tell me your name, but what's in a name. So you might tell me a story, about where you came from and what you do, how you…
ON/OFF/ON/OFF/ON/OFF 01010101010101010101 UP/DOWN/UP/DOWN/UP This world/life/reality is a big game of hide and seek, or peek-a-boo. There is no reason to believe the cycle will ever end.
Nobody suffers except for God. When babies starve, God suffers. When someone is raped, God suffers. When we wage wars against our brothers, God suffers. Because this world is a play, and God is behind all the masks.
Depends on the language we are describing it with. Seriously, this might be easier to understand in, like, german or something. But really, asking that question just begs more questions. What do we mean by 'enlightenment'? What do we mean by consciousness, and what does it mean to exist? Like you said to megalodon, we're…
Yes, life is a dance, life is play. What is the 'purpose' of dancing? Is it to arrive at a particular point on the dance floor? What is the 'purpose' of music? Is it to get to the end of the song? No, no, no. It's just play.
It's neither. It's both. It's a union. Yin and yang. What is 'order', and 'chaos'? They are words created by man, in his attempt to describe the indescribable.
