My argument against materialism

[Dancing David]

The name for the eternal name is delusion.

Could be, the Tao is the root of zen.

 

[Dancing David]

I would put it the other way round as it is the materialists who appear to be in conflict with someone.

So Niels Bohr would be in conflict with Harry Potter.

Really, then you are very silly.

I thought you liked analogy.

But I see you are the one itching for a fight.

 

[Dancing David]

So thats what pixy was getting so exercised about.

I see, there is no mind, but lets just keep calling it the mind anyway and allow it some mental faculties.

Rather than being honest and labeling it the brain with the illusion of thought.

If you want to hide in vague defintions go right ahead, I won't stop you. It is part of the language barrier.

You are clinging to your notions, if it provides you comfort, please continue.

Personally I find it easier to slip between them.

That fact that you used the word honest shows that you are have a problem that you bring to the table and project onto the rest of us.

I gave up mind reading a while back.

The specter at the feast?

The rubric of confabulation and vague defintion.

The wolf is always at the door, the old man is down the road, the fox laughs.

We can't fight him,he's unarmed.

 

[dafydd]

The rubric of confabulation and vague defintion.

The wolf is always at the door, the old man is down the road, the fox laughs.

And the Way that can be named is not the eternal Way.

 

[devnull]

So you can't make coherent ideas either.

Im wondering if we should call the wahhhhhmbulance.

 

[Nonpareil]

Ignorance is bliss though (delusion anyone?)

Am I the only one here who finds this sentence deliciously ironnnnic?

 

[punshhh]

My point was, there are materialists presenting a them and us conflict.

I see no such conflict, or need for one.

I would like to discuss ideas, unfortunately my unconventional language does present a language barrier of sorts and has drawn ridicule.

I feel I must keep this at arms length as I am not partial to being devoured by debunkers.

The specter at the feast is quite an apt metaphor for the disembodying and casting into oblivion of the mind(their closest friend) by materialsts. Only to rise again as a specter during their feast of back slapping.

I am using the metaphor close to its original meaning in the Scottish play.

I think the language barrier has more to do with mathematics than Hindu.

Stop smearing yourself with bait.

The ghost at the feast was only in Macbeth's mind therefore it is not an apt metaphor. We are not back slapping,we are asking for proof. Can you point me to where the ancient Hindus spoke of black holes,quasars,magnetars,quarks and so forth?

 

[Dancing David]

And the Way that can be named is not the eternal Way.

The eternal that can be wayed is not the name.

 

[Dancing David]

Beam, eye, mote, finger, moon?

I see no such conflict, or need for one.

Then this is the wrong thread for you, I did not name it, now did I?

Start another thread, this one picked a chip with materialism.

Then the JREF is not for you, we all debunk each other.

And I really really like the Atevi culture of CK Cherryh baji-naji and the ausipces of numbers. The mri of the Faded Sun cycle are cool too!

I also really like the Deverry cycle of Kathryn Kerr.

Th theory of mind if you want to talk about it is just fine, start another thread, there is no mind. We are all p-zombies as well.

You know your mind as well as you do your friend's, you only infer it. You have no direct experience.

If I post crap here,I find out about it very quickly. This is not a back-slapping David Icke type woo site.

The eternal that can be wayed is not the name.

And it is written thus; If you want to know how much a whale weighs,take it to a whaleweigh station.

And if you want to find out how heavy a pie is, the place to go is somewhere over the rainbow (weigh a pie).

 

[tsig]

So there is no infinite quantity to the universe?

Ignorance is unlimited.
