Philosophical Speculations

This question was among the first that came up in me when I was first introduced to BK's ideas. This, of course, is entirely speculative, but I can't help but think, if MAL "does things" (i.e. engages in creative process), even if just instinctively, by its nature, there should probably be...

Love is not intentional. Love is unconditional acceptance of the world. In my opinion, love is to be thought of similarly to a fundamental force, like gravity. It is not something that emerges or is created by events. It just is. It's merely a part of the human condition that our brains block us fro...

Many of you probably know this, but it's just one of the best and most profound works of fiction I've ever seen, so I'll leave it here.

Thanks, tjsailor "My mantra is: I am You, You are Me. Seems to be helpful" That's already more helpful than "I am that", which brings its own feelings of terror, here at least. For some time, I too was overcome with a certain dread upon this realisation (once I've seen it throug...

That is not my problem at the moment. My derealisation episodes have ceased since then. No, it's that the thought of being the only thing in existence, who just happens to experience this body at the moment, is utterly terrifying. Even though I know this is not the same as solipsism, i.e. other peop...

I'm getting a bit burdened by all of this. I'm starting to experience a creeping existential dread.

My take on this is that if there was no point to existence, MAL would just remain in an inert state. Sure, it my not have been an act of "volition" for it to become the universe instead of remaining pure awareness, but it's probably a law of nature that it did. Now, if there is a law of na...

Now, obviously, it does in the sense that we are its alters. But we have a neural system that we use to perceive sensory information, and these information manifest as feelings. Do you think MAL has feelings at its own level of consciousness? Or it doesn't, since there is nothing to "cause"...

I don't know if this has already been posted here before, but I've found this article:

It's very much in alignment with BK's philosphy. Maybe they should have a talk.

Αν πεθαινεις πριν πεθαινεις, δεν θα πεθαινεις οταν πεθαινεις. That's the 2nd time I encounter this phrase in the past few days. The way I understand this is, if your ego dies before you reach bodily death, you will know that your self will still remain after the ego's death. Here's what I've been th...
