Re: Can something be of zero size and still exist?

Can something be of zero size and still exist? Nothing in our sense contents (which is to say: in physical reality) has zero size. We can, however, and every student of geometry does this, think into existence the idea that is a zero-size point. Zero and infinity are problematic for both physics an...

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental

Forms could not exist at all without the being-awareness, while being-awareness does not need forms to exist, even though it may never exist in time without forms. Forms are emergent by nature, while being-awareness is not emergent, it is a fundamental aspect of the OP, ... This seems to be the bas...

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental

Well, as any idea or concept, it can only be a pointer to the prime, since any idea can never describe the prime precisely and exhaustively or be exactly homomorphic to it, simply because the prime is not an idea. But as a pointer to the prime or a reflection of it it's pretty good, but still missi...

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental

We seem to have gone about 80% off-topic here. So let me try to bring it back:

Does anyone disagree, or partially agrees but would modify somewhat, with the claim that mumorphism is the ontological prime?

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental

I don't know, but I can speculate, based on Merrell-Wolff's experience. Which was: experiencing what he called "Nirvana", which he defined as "awareness of absence of objects", as distinct from normal consciousness as being "awareness of objects". Then he moved on to a...

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental

Well, than what would you say about the evidences of non-active state of consciousness with an absence of any thoughts, conscious phenomena and any phenomenal activity at all? Those states were experienced by many people (me included). You could argue of course that this state has memory function &...

Re: Formlessness><form as the uncaused, irreducible ontic fundamental

The answer also depends on what we mean by "formless" state. Let's first differentiate between the "void" (thoughtless and phenomena-less) state and entirely formless state. The thoughtless and phenomenal-less state is definitely possible (as was witnesses by many people, me inc...

Re: INSANITY FOR GOODNESS

Lou ... The point you're trying to make is eluding me, and since I can't read the article, nor have I watched this particular Levy interview, I'll leave it up to others to chime in if so inclined. Dana, the article is about someone paying a ridiculous price for a non-fungible token (NFT). The artic...
