  3. would Spira agree with this statement "everything is imaginary" ?

  5. The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental _______________________________________________________________________________ The Kybalion. The Seven Hermetic Principles. “The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open.” The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows: I. The Principle of Mentalism. II. The Principle of Correspondence. III. The Principle of Vibration. IV. The Principle of Polarity. V. The Principle of Rhythm. VI. The Principle of Cause and Effect. VII. The Principle of Gender. These Seven Principles will be discussed and explained as we proceed with these lessons. A short explanation of each, however, may as well be given at this point. The Kybalion I. The Principle of Mentalism. “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental.” . This Principle embodies the truth that “All is Mind.” It explains that The All (which is the Substantial Reality underlying all the outward manifestations and appearances which we know under the terms of “The Material Universe”; the “Phenomena of Life”; “Matter”; “Energy”; and, in short, all that is apparent to our material senses) is Spirit, which in itself is Unknowable and Undefinable, but which may be considered and thought of as An Universal, Infinite, Living Mind. It also explains that all the phenomenal world or universe is simply a Mental Creation of The All, subject to the Laws of Created Things, and that the universe, as a whole, and in its parts or units, has its existence in the Mind of The All, in which Mind we “live and move and have our being.” This Principle, by establishing the Mental Nature of the Universe, easily explains all of the varied mental and psychic phenomena that occupy such a large portion of the public attention, and which, without such explanation, are non‑understandable and defy scientific treatment. An understanding of this great Hermetic Principle of Mentalism enables the individual to readily grasp the laws of the Mental Universe, and to apply the same to his well‑being and advancement. The Hermetic Student is enabled to apply intelligently the great Mental Laws, instead of using them in a haphazard manner. With the Master‑Key in his possession, the student may unlock the many doors of the mental and psychic temple of knowledge, and enter the same freely and intelligently. This Principle explains the true nature of “Energy,” “Power,” and “Matter,” and why and how all these are subordinate to the Mastery of Mind. One of the old Hermetic Masters wrote, long ages ago: “He who grasps the truth of the Mental Nature of the Universe is well advanced on The Path to Mastery.” And these words are as true to‑day as at the time they were first The Seven Hermetic Principles 11 written. Without this Master‑Key, Mastery is impossible, and the student knocks in vain at the many doors of The Temple.
  6. Solipsism is the position that the mind is the only thing that can be known to exist and that knowledge of anything outside the mind is unjustified. It is not, however, the same as Skepticism, the position that one should refrain from even making truth claims. see Skepticism at link > https://www.philosophybasics.com/branch_skepticism.html
  7. if the body and what's outside of it are contained inside you mind dreams don't exist
  8. Reality is only what is outside of your mind
  9. Was is an example of something that can be disproven?

  11. The meditative state this Buddhist monk is talking about is completely different from psychedelic states, virtually opposite
  12. Suppose you made a video and did something risky, and at the time you could have died doing this. And then later, somebody watches the video and they try doing the same thing but they die in the process. You might be horrified and feel sorry this occurred. But you might (depending on who you are) instead think it was a valiant attempt
  13. please clarify about this statement "everything is imaginary" Do any of the following philosophies (or whatever you want to call them) agree with this? 1) non-dualism (non denominational) 2) Vedanta 3) Buddhism 4) Solipsism
  14. It is hard to follow and requires daily mental exercise (meditation) twice a day at the same time of day (or night) and it requires a commitment to avoid indulgences and distractions. Try it for 4 days, allow for some occasional slips but keep doing it. Try to get to a week. Then make an assessment, ask yourself if you think you are benefiting . Then do another week but extend a little bit , a week and a half or two, and so on. If you feel it's doing nothing for you then forget about it. If you want to do it in an easier way get a teacher, someone who you see on a regular basis, someone who has a proven good reputation and is non-manipulative. In Thailand it is common citizen to become a monk for a month. There are a lot of rules to follow, however it can be easier, due to other people doing it with you, a distraction free environment and a structured routine.
  15. Solipsism ( from Latin solus, meaning 'alone', and ipse, meaning 'self') is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. However in Hinduism In order to attain Moksha (liberation), a human being must acquire self-knowledge (atma jnana), which is, according to Advaitins, to realize that one's true self (Ātman) is identical with the transcendent self Brahman. The six orthodox schools of Hinduism believe that there is Ātman in every living being (jiva). This is a major point of difference with the Buddhist doctrine of Anatta, which holds that there is no self. Leo who's right?
  16. "enlightenment" that's the oldest trick in the book,
  17. You guys are groping in the dark, only Leo can answer this
  18. You are uninformed about Buddhism, Hinduism and Descartes.
  19. Descartes said "I think, therefore I am". He also said " I am thinking, therefore I am/exist" The critique against the proposition is the presupposition of an "I" doing the thinking, so that the most Descartes was entitled to say was: "thinking is occurring" Descarte: Similarly Solipsism ( from Latin solus, meaning 'alone', and ipse, meaning 'self') is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.

The Hindus and Descartes who say there is a self or the Buddhists who say there is no self ?
