No, I think I'd have to reinforce it with a couple of Astral Pillars.

well, ok, but you can see astral pillars.

the REAL trick is of course to attach rocket boosters and get it into orbit:

Agreed! CAT scan required as evidence of blown mind.

Silly seems to have missed the "proofs" joke, as far as I can tell.

You can probably disregard all of this.

As it turns out, there are things that can't be seen that are true.

hey how did you come to that conclusion? i'm really interested..

i found something similar when i discovered that there are even false things that are true (srsly) so paradoxes are real (really too bad hypocrisy doesn't *need* justification, or else you'd have one right there) but that was some mathematical proof (yea i know i keep going on about that, but it blew my mind oK?*) and i wonder from what direction you came?

* also it was love. yes maths and love, blew my mind :mrgreen:



Easy answer, dude.

I started to question my basic beliefs. I mean really question.

I asked myself: Why is anything here, and how did it get here in the first place? Obviously things must have had a beginning, a creation, and therefore a creator.

Well, I thought, "Somehow, the big bang happened and suddenly all of this stuff is here. Obviously this is true, since that whole theism thing is retarded."

"What caused the big bang? How do we even know that the universe has been expanding the way it is since it started? And whats the deal with dark matter? Isn't science supposed to be limited to what's observable?"

"Damn.. I guess science just assumes these things so their theories hold up to the public."

"You betcha. Look at that whole dinosaur bone thing."

"Well, if science is wrong, theism is dumb, and Buddhism sounds too funny to be true (Hah! all is dooka? that sounds far too silly to be right), what is the answer? what is the meaning in life?"

"Hell if I know, dude. All I know is that something is eternal (as stated previously). I reckon you'll have to go on some sort of quest for knowledge or something goofy like that."

"Yeah, that sounds pretty cool."

CK,
Searchin' fo' the holy grail of meaning.


Also, that whole "I think therefore I am." thing doesn't fully use reason. It assumes a lot, and uses cyclical logic (I think, therefore I am). Eff that noise.


Oh, and yeah. Thats how discussion goes in my head. Does that mean I'm a schizophrenic?








But, to answer your question really easily, the fact that I'm aware of myself and of my thoughts is a big clue to the fact that some things exist that just aren't observable.
Well, I just said it so FUCKING LISTEN OR ILL KEEP SHOUTING UNTIL YOUR BRAINS BECOME FLUID AND POUR OUT YOUR EARS.

Quip: 'Dooka' is actually spelled Dukkha in Pali (दुक्ख in sanskrit), its usually translated to mean the suffering inherent in the lives of all sentient beings.

Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors.

Right. Thats cool. Honestly, I'm totally down with Buddhism. It's just the whole of western culture that isn't ready to accept that the material things might not be important. Also, I've never been able to meditate.

Thanks for the spelling correction there, I'm for too lazy to google it.

I dunno, certain anarchists seem down with that.  Personally, I'm more down with the meditation thing, as I like some of my possessions.

The laypracticer doesn't have to give up his possession.

Just sayin.

Even so...I don't think giving up my possessions will make me any more holy.  Especially since I don't actually have that many, beyond books.

Giving up you possessions won't make you holy. What makes you holy is your lack of attachment to them. I don't much like the word holy anyway, too much association with divine power. Dalai Lama would be better off not using it.

The reason a monk gives up his posessions is to remove himself from attactment. Since suffering is caused by clinging, by attachment, ridding yourself of material things  aids in ridding yourself of attactment. But really, the lack of want for material things has to come first. Leaving them behind is just following through.

I don't like that reasoning, its way too black and white.  In fact, thats pretty much why I don't like religion.
