https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertiginous_question "Benj Hellie's vertiginous question is as follows: of all the subjects of experience out there, why is this one—the one corresponding to the human being referred to as Benj Hellie—the one whose experiences are live? (The reader is supposed to s...

Unfortunately that is all a post facto interpretation.

I've just recently met this man's materials. They are as fascinating as they are disconcerting. After a "spiritual" event he later called "the calamity", he preached a kind of idealist philosophy, but with all ontological or teleological ideas removed. He basically said that a p...

Yes, and that is why I mention - " Reality is not comprised of a static set of beings and relations fixed in place - it is dynamic ever-evolving experience ". The conclusion that we always go "back to track 1", that "suffering remains endemic everywhere", "persona...

"THE PROBLEM OF EVIL Why do we exist? The answer, according to the major monotheistic religions, including the Catholic faith in which I was raised, is that an all-powerful, supernatural entity created us. This deity loves us, as a human father loves his children, and wants us to behave in a c...
