Prove that you have something valueable to say. -

Intuitives are probably more likely to pursue enlightenment, but that doesn't mean sensors don't pursue enlightenment. -

Sure, if you define it that way . -

Not all behavior is determined by belief. You have instincts, conditioning, habits. -

Does a dog believe it has to bite you when you slap it? -

What does this mean in practice? Give an example of a reaction and a non-reaction. -
He is so powerful yet so refined. I just watched an entire Strapping Young Lad concert, a bit on the hevydevy side

You can say that your woo-woo detox is an experiment and that you don't believe that it works before you've empirically verified it for yourself.

There are things we usually refer to as non-assumptions in daily language that rely on conceptual constructs, e.g. "statements of fact" (conclusive analytical or synthetical statements). If you want to deconstruct language and concepts, then sure, it's all just assumptions. However, recognize that there are different levels of analysis, different degrees of assumption. The statement "the sun will rise tomorrow" contains a different degree of assumption than simply "the sun rose today". -

This is called being young. All young people have some things they're better at than others, because environments like school include all kinds of people with different personality types. When you get older and start pursuing your interests, your environments get more specialized and you start seeing more like-minded people. Then you realize that you're not really that special. -

If the Abrahamic religions didn't drift away from mysticism, this wouldn't be a problem. The concept of "faith" stems from the denial of the direct experience of God. -

"Who in the fuck cares whether you call it a semantic circlejerk or whatever. So you can convince them that you are right? That you know what's reaaally going on here? Oh fuck off. What a semantic circlejerk, waste of time." -

You'll need an infinite amount of countries. For example, anti-vaxx leftists don't get along with anti-vaxx right-wingers etc. -

You have to specify what kind of question you're asking. "Why?" can mean a million different things. -
Carl-Richard replied to SQAAD's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Is that not an assumption? -

This thread is getting ridiculous. Just look up the definition on google. -
Did you know that you can save your favorite posts so you can read them later? It's the bookmark function! I wish more people started using it so I could read what people think is the best stuff on the forum (from yourself or other people). This is essentially me asking you to do that (make them public of course) Here's a challenge: what is the most mind-blowing post you've ever read on the forum? Bookmark it! Then post the link to the post below for us to see

There are no objects, just change. There is no change, just being. There is no being, just isness. -

LOL what a nice thought that is -
He is talking about spotting narcissism, not being a narcissist. To spot narcissism, use feeling and intuition.

You can't use past events to make absolute statements about future events. This is called "the problem of induction", formulated by David Hume (1711-1776). You can use past events to make probabilistic statements about future events, but not absolute statements. The statement "the sun will rise tomorrow" is therefore only an assumption that is likely to be true.
