Philosophical Speculations

"So taking also precognitions into account, can the case for a theory of higher human purpose still be made ?" Cosmin, if Time is a feature of form, than from the perspective of the Formless, all enacted possibilities are already known and delivered. Presumably no unnatural effort is requ...

The practical approach is that we can be less worried about death, given that we are eternal. Sure, I dont know the details of what will happen after death, maybe we reincarnate as animals or as other superior beings. But we can rest assured that it will continue. Also we have free will operating on...

These are good questions and I will have to think about them. Because it is interesting that we are even able to do philosophy in the first place. Why should this be possible at all ? There could have been only animal consciousnesses and that's all. Regarding the spectrum, I don't even think we can ...

Also, regarding different coordinate systems, you can also read my paper "The "Who Am I?" Question", which basically captures the same Truth, but from a different perspective. It will be interesting if you can also bring some other coordinate systems.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Regarding just experiencing life, I also mentioned it in the paper, like the example if you want to know how it is to ride a roller-coaster you just have to ride it, you cannot find it by theorizing. Also, if you want to make some empirical science, that will also b...

I don’t know if you have been drawing inspiration from other sources but the principle of self-reference have been known and explored in the mystery centers through the ages. The way I got to the idea of self-reference was by thinking at cases such as the duck-rabbit: there is a shape on the paper ...

Let's say that we have this particular type of precognition: let's say that at 9 o'clock we have a precognition of what will happen at 10 o'clock. And we see the events unfolding starting from 10 and going all the way up to 11 and beyond. When the precognition gets to the 11 hour, in the present mom...

Cosmin, Consider this analogy. I know that my own localized organism is 'made of' the same physical forces as those of the solar system. The gravitational, electromagnetic, strong/weak nuclear forces are the same in my localized organism as they are for the planet Jupiter. Yet I know that I simply ...

I'm answering you here from the reincarnation topic, so we don't be off-topic there. In relation to our discussion on the other thread, would you agree that the examples you use above are referring to ideas which unite the particular letters and notes into a 'holistic entity'? That's exactly what I ...
