  1. Spira said "there is only one consciousness billions of minds possibly but only one all deriving then knowing from pure consciousness but from the point of view of that consciousness it doesn't look at those billions of minds and see billions of separate minds yeah when you look at a painting you don't see thousands of brushstrokes you see one painting when you look at an image on your computer screen you don't see thousands of pixels it's one coherent image" _________________________ So he's saying that consciousness is the totality of billions of minds, not trillions, not an infinity of minds. And he says "but from the point of view of that consciousness it doesn't look at those billions of minds". Rupert Spira didn't say he is consciousness. He didn't say he sees all the paintings in the world. He says that the totality of "billions of minds" , " it" sees all paintings. This assumes that minds produce consciousness (reasonable) but it also assume that a sum total of "billions of minds" is a "point of view" The assumption is if you put 10 random people in a room that their consciousness is one thing Spira: "A single mind can conceives of something called billions of minds because it can only know objects. Awareness never experiences a multiplicity and diversity of objects and we can check that if if I were to ask you now how many experiences were you having how many experiences do you ever have at a time? are you having 10,000 experiences now or one experience "one experience". Rather than prove the point that all experience is one experience this example further proves the limit of our experience at a given moment in time. We see the whole painting at one time but we don't see the millions of other paintings Spira: " it's not possible to have more than one experience at a time experience in other words is always one experience is never split up into a multiplicity in diversity of objects thought abstracts the objects from this seamless unified experience that's how awareness experiences Not a convincing argument. He says that because we can only experience one thing at a time, that we are experiencing vanilla ice cream at a given moment and not chocolate or not smoking a cigar then because it's "one" experience that is "oneness" . It is therefore all experience. Then if someone says someone could have an experience that is not another experience, the point would be raised "impossible" separation does not exist. So the word "one" is detected but then used in a nonsensical way to justify an argument. Spira: " Where we see that we just know one thing, we just know one experience, it's only thought that abstracts a multiplicity and diversity of objects So awareness sees minds like we see objects in other words for awareness it's one experience that thought conceptualizes as seven billion minds" He is talking about we, you and I who have only one experience at at time and then he's also talking about "awareness" as if it is it is a being of some kind (God?) that it is the sum total of billions of minds, each having only one experience at at a time, us, you and I only being a part of it. But he's confusing the "one" of having one experience at a time with the oneness of everything What he's saying is not solipsism however.
  2. try doing these three things before meditation, all sitting no lying down , right after waking up, 1) push ups to fail point, 1 set 2) Progressive muscle relaxation meditation 3) Willim Hof breathing method After this breathing technique you will have taken in a lot of oxygen and feel like hardly breathing or not breathing for a minute. That means you did it right, very relaxed at this point 4) Body Scan Meditation _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "am aware that I'm aware" "focus on the present moment" "feel the inner body" self inquiry The above body techniques will help you not get hung up on on doing these various mental things "right" In two weeks after doing this daily and writing down the process to remember it you will be able to do it without relying on these videos but initially listening to the exact repetition of it. If this is done right after waking you subconscious will be more obliging to new habits. The beginning preps you body. Then end aligns body and mind
  3. Seattle "CHOP" Zone Class Action Lawsuit EXPLAINED - Viva & Barnes Live Stream HIGHLIGHT _______________________________________________________________________ https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/class-action-lawsuit-filed-against-seattle-mayor-gov-inslee-over-chop-zone/281-088f3acf-6a31-481d-beaa-04df20193c0e Class action lawsuit filed against Seattle mayor, Gov. Inslee over CHOP zone The lawsuit filed claims Seattle city leaders and Gov. Inslee failed to protect residents near and around the CHOP zone. SEATTLE — A class-action lawsuit was filed against Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and Governor Jay Inslee over their handling of the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone. Attorney Jacob Bozeman filed the lawsuit and said he has nothing against the cause that's being promoted at the CHOP zone, but he's concerned about the actions of the state and local leaders. "What would happen if every political group or special interest group wanted to take over a portion of the city?" said Bozeman. "So nothing was being done, nothing happened and I thought it was a very obvious abdication on the part of the mayor and the city and the state since the state was doing nothing." The lawsuit filed in Federal Court claims Seattle city leaders and Gov. Inslee failed to protect residents near and around the CHOP zone by allowing their “respective jurisdictions to become lawless autonomous zones, which denies persons living within, and outside of these jurisdictions the equal protection of the laws.” Bozeman has been an attorney for 27 years and said he has never filed a lawsuit like this before. He said he isn't seeking a dollar amount in terms of relief, he just wants a policy change to prevent other groups from taking over the area again.
  4. infinity is part of a duality with zero
  5. Monism Monism is the metaphysical and theological view that all is one, that there are no fundamental divisions, and that a unified set of laws underlie all of nature. The universe, at the deepest level of analysis, is then one thing or composed of one fundamental kind of stuff. It sets itself in contrast to Dualism Idealistic Monism: (also see the section on Idealism) This doctrine (also called Mentalistic Monism) holds that the mind is all that exists (i.e. the only existing substance is mental), and that the external world is either mental itself, or an illusion created by the mind. Thus, there is but one reality, immutable and eternal, which some (including the ancient Hindu philosophers) have termed God (Idealistic-Spiritual Monism), while others, such as the Pre-Socratic philosophers like Parmenides, were content to label as Being or "the One". This type of Idealistic Monism has recurred throughout history, from the Neoplatonists, to Gottfried Leibniz and George Berkeley, to the German Idealism of G. W. F. Hegel. Materialistic Monism: This doctrine holds that there is but one reality, matter, whether it be an agglomerate of atoms, a primitive, world-forming substance, or the so-called cosmic nebula out of which the world evolved. It holds that only the physical is real, and that the mental can be reduced to the physical. Members of this camp include Thomas Hobbes and Bertrand Russell, and it has been the dominant doctrine in the 20th Century. There are two main types:Reductive Physicalism, which asserts that all mental states and properties will eventually be explained by scientific accounts of physiological processes and states, has been the most popular form during the 20th Century. There are three main types: Neutral Monism: This dual-aspect theory maintains that existence consists of one kind of primal substance (hence monism), which in itself is neither mental nor physical, but is capable of mental and physical aspects or attributes. Thus, there is some other, neutral substance (variously labeled as Substance, Nature or God), and that both matter and mind are properties of this other unknown substance. Such a position was adopted by Baruch Spinoza and also by Bertrand Russell for a time. Reflexive Monism: This is a dual-aspect theory (in the tradition of Spinoza) which argues that the one basic stuff of which the universe is composed has the potential to manifest both physically and as conscious experience (such as human beings) which can then have a view of both the rest of the universe and themselves (hence "reflexive"). It is a contemporary take on a concept which has been present in human thought for millennia, such as in later Vedic writings like the "Upanishads" and some beliefs from ancient Eg
  6. Your finite mind is not what?
  7. @Red-White-Light 1) Has anybody else in this thread agreed yet that solipsism is true? 2) How many , if any, closet solipsists have you noticed in this thread? 3) what do you think of what he's saying here? Is he confused?
  8. that's closet Solipsism, undoubtedly
  9. could this be his problem? also note 1995 price, $9.99...............2020, $16.99
  10. Russell Brand makes the case that Joe Biden is too middle of the road to win, Trump's much superior and underestimated orator skills will defeat him. One might say but why didn't he bring up Sanders. He hasn't spoken much about Sanders. In this short video with Larry King from 2017 he mentions him More animated here (to put it mildly) with Bill Maher in 2017 Brand vs Peterson on Capitalism/Socialism

  15. 2019 Desalination technology, advantages , disadvantages . 2018 a University of California, Berkeley, team headed down to the Arizona desert, plopped their newest prototype water harvester into the backyard of a tract home and started sucking water out of the air without any power other than sunlight. The successful field test of their larger, next-generation harvester proved what the team had predicted earlier in 2017: that the water harvester can extract drinkable water every day/night cycle at very low humidity and at low cost, making it ideal for people living in arid, water-starved areas of the world.
  16. None of that stuff on video counts, people making public appearances. You need in person observation of the person over time
  17. If thoughts are false why would you want to allow their machinery to operate? However if you want to go that route try Logic and Contemporary Rhetoric by Howard Kashane/Nance Cavender
  18. nothing doesn't exist it's an intellectual concept
