  1. Again I'm not sure where did you pull out that difference from? To me there is no difference between "seem" to happen and actually happen. If you seem to die.. Then you actually die.
  2. Now you are just getting weird about a simple phenomenon. Death is real. Yes or no? Stop splitting hairs and creating imaginary distinctions (actually vs seemingly). Or you ego can't accept the fact that you are a mere mortal?
  3. Don't be delusional. Clearly physical death exists. What happens if you shoot yourself in the head?
  4. Stop fooling yourself. You don't know what death is until you actually physically die.
  5. OK so you don't want actual definitive answers. You just want to theorize a little bit Sure go ahead.
  6. Yes. Of course. The entire past never existed. You are imagining the past. Your question assumes a difference between form and formlessness. There isn't such a distinction
  7. 1.The big bang never happened. 2. Form is formlessness.
  8. It's simpler than that. The rock isn't sentient so it has no pov. But it does exist even when you are not looking at it.
  9. If God is infinity.. Then god must be an idiot too. Isn't it so?
  10. Think about it for moment. This about this for a moment, one cannot fear the unknown, because one doesn't know it. One can only fear losing the known.
  11. fear is the fear of death, for what is death but an ending of the known, therefore all fear is the fear of an ending of the known.
  12. Because you fear death.
  13. That's a good point. As long as you are alive you have to be biased. That's how you stay alive in the first place. Because life is a bias against death.
  14. Thinking may form habits, habits of future thinking and habits of the mode of perceiving and habits of intuitions. Thus thinking may have an impact on general experience of life, on feelings and moods and life energy. This then may influence what happens to oneself in life but I do not believe in "law of attraction" or determinism to be the true basis of what happens.
  15. I do believe that the idea of the law of attraction, as described by Esther and Jeremy Hicks, and a number of other writers, is useful.This view is that what becomes manifest in the outer circumstances in our lives is dependent upon our thoughts in a causal way. It involves the argument that negative and positive thinking affect us to the point where we draw specific events to take place in our lives. I have found this idea makes sense for me and I know that my own mindset seems to affect what really happens in my own life, and that gratefulness in itself seems to lead towards a more positive flow rather moaning all the time. Sometimes, people have argued that the law of attraction doesn't always work, because we don't always get what we seek, in spite of our our strong wishes, but advocates of the idea suggest that this is probably linked to discrepancies between our conscious and subconscious desires. I have been wondering how this relates to philosophy recently. It seems to be based on a view that causality is linked to states of mind somehow. Of course, on a basic level, our thinking is a pathway to bringing forth the actions necessary for events to occur. However, I think that the theory is stating a little more, with intentionality being the key factor. Also, it has connection with the issue of chance in life, and is life a series of mere random events? I am not convinced that there are any chances or coincidences in life, although I realise that perception of does involve our own perception and construction of meanings in life experiences. What do you think? I am raising this discussion with a view to exploring the causal role of thinking and intentionality. To what extent do we have the power to change and determine our own destinies as creative agents, or are we bound to random events and our material circumstances as aspects beyond our conscious control?
  16. No. That's a projection and a story. The actuality is a bunch of colors, sounds, feelings etc
  17. What about "God" "dreaming"? That's an assumption. Look for the actuality of what you're talking about.
  18. God is an infinite singularity. Forever exploring itself by being itself fully. Good story?
  19. Too much unquestioned assumptions in your question.
  20. @Alysssa thank you
