Let me go back to simplistics then, with a simple logical idea. If a child is born with all his senses (touch,taste,smell,hear,taste) then he experiences roughly this "universe" of which you state. However, what of a child born with no senses, others may be able to see him but he cannot see others. In the childs mind nothing and everything exists, he is not pre-disposed to laws or non laws yet. Individualization, being non-connected to one another is the basis of sophisism. If you say that we are all connected to a single universe, and that science holds true even in the philosophical world, by what basis do you hold this true? For until we are connected by a sixth sense or technology to anothers brain and mind, how can you know that anything other than yourself exists, or that you exist at all as well? For in a sense deprived state you cannot experience the universe and thus, with individualization, and perspective, nothing can exist beyond yourself. Universe is not law, when looked at from the point of perspective and individualization. You can talk about how universe is the only one way and that you are connected to it, because you were born with your senses and have been predisposed to this, however, logically, it does not necessarilly hold as an entire truth and basis for everything. With this could you not argue the universe is a product of our minds, and we not the product of the universe? Thinking beyond physical is the aim of philosophy no? To answer the fundamentally estranged questions.Subatomic God wrote:The definition does not fit how the Universe works. Nothing is contradictory - you'd be insulting the Universe by calling it that, when everything works in union as it does with or without your naivety. So no, you have incorrectly used it by even slightly thinking the Universe is contradicting itself because you think it is through ignorance of how it truly behaves. Light and dark are not contradictions because everything is one, in the end. Our split personalities do not contradict one or the other, because they are individual states created within one system. Again, you do not understand this Universe.Uriahharris wrote:
Let me put straight out the definition of contradict so that you may understand.
con·tra·dict [kon-truh-dikt]
verb (used with object) 1. to assert the contrary or opposite of; deny directly and categorically. 2. to speak contrary to the assertions of: to contradict oneself. 3. (of an action or event) to imply a denial of: His way of life contradicts his stated principles. 4. Obsolete . to speak or declare against; oppose.
In this, i have correctly used the definition of contradict. A contradiction then is just that, light and dark are contradictions, because they speak contrary to the assertions of "light" for light in definition is the absence of darkness, one cannot exist without the other. They contradict one another in there existence, yet rely on each other, for they oppose each other which fits in the definition of contradiction. As for being ignorant, of course, I cannot prove any theory to be law, nor can anyone else prove it to be so either. To claim truth above another truth is of a higher ignorance however. One cannot claim to be of superior intellect, especially with your theory of everyone possessing the same mind, for if that is so, everyone is on the same level yes? If we all have the same potential, then everyone is equal, and the universe is of equal and balanced properties yes? I have yet to figure out your esteem as far as knowledge of the universe goes, however. What is it you hold high in the universe? Physics, philosophy, religion? What is it you hold to be the "right" ideal (if you can honestly claim to be right). For as long as doubt exists, nothing can be true, and as doubt has to exist for truth to exist, there can be no true truth. Logic in itself is the one and only principal by which we hold as a solid foundation, as the basis of everything in science and philosophy. But what can you argue to be logic, in its majesty? You seem to praise extroverted thoughts and ideals over introverted ones, which is where we difer. For all extroverted thoughts and ideals, come from an introverted process. How can you claim to talk to the universe when you cannot be certain of your own reality, and what you see and hear to be true? What claim can you lay before first without a doubt proving your own logic and self to be true. For science can progress infinitely, but what will it amount to if we never progress inwards in philosophy and psychology? In what way can we progress if we do not challenge the impossibilities that paradoxes, contradictions, and the limit of human reason propose? I am by no means a mathematical genius, a physics mastermind. I lay claim to only myself and my inner thoughts, of which is all anyone has isn't it?
Everyone possesses the same tool, the brain. I did not say the mind. You're taking things out of context like a person takes apart a computer - to learn from it. You don't understand, so you're trying to understand by making it more difficult.
All introverted processes are from outside, then managed from inside, which are then projected back outwards. You'd have to be truly naive to think that there's a one-way ticket for information in a world that is clearly perpetual! Think of a black hole. There are three stages: The already projected > swallowed > then spat out as another projection.
There are no paradoxes and infinities in life. The only reason why that seems so, is because of how the Universe creates possibilities. Human experience can even have a taste of this notion. All you have to do is let go, and go back to point o - where you can choose anything in the world, but whence a choice is made, you become limited. When a choice hasn't been made, you are infinite. That's the secret to the Universe. A blank canvas can hold anything - a canvas with a picture on top of it can only do so much without distorting and crowding itself. This is why children are infinite, and adults are finite. We live in a world that forces adults to make choices, while children are free to make their own choices until a certain age - then there are the few that escape this vicious cycle to truly understand freedom and the Universe.
Science is not infinite, in a good way. It goes down a basic formula to more complicated formulas, which sooner or later lead us astray.

A solipsist? You were born from a fetus and are challenged by your supposed projection, me. Solipsists are too naive to accept self-humility, because that's all it takes to eliminate solipsism. You can't expect such an idea to exist in an ever-changing world. Either solipsism suggests the world was projected from the brain and senses, or that the world is continuously being projected by the brain and senses - either way, you will come to find out that such ideas would not stand accurate in a Universe that does not adhere to such concepts.
No, this entire Universe existed far beyond our time. Our eyes consist of photo receptors which existed before the birth of stars, billions of years ago. Our eyes are shaped like the birth of a galaxy and the patterns within the eye are shaped like a nebula. The neurons in our brain are shaped like the Universe. The lungs have root-like patterns, like plants. Our bodies emit a colorful array of electromagnetic waves of energy like planets do. Therefore we are made in the Universe's image - the Universe is not made in our image.
The Universe is an absolute system (a law consisted of faculties creating in different forms, on different scales) that is not finished, but becoming. The human experience in the realm of solipsism would be absolutely absurd, as human experience hasn't existed very long compared to the Universe which encompasses everything; there's evidence that we are shaped by this Universe, and that everything on the outside existed before the human brain, or its senses.
As above, so below; from form, to faculty; to, and fro.

Re: What is Mind?
It seems you did not grasp my logical steps. On regards to your comment, where did this entire universe "rant" come from? You seem to have many ideas regarding the structure of the universe and how we play into it. I have yet to see any logical steps however, it does not make rational sense to the reader, you cannot argue by just stating " such ideas would not stand accurate in a universe that does not adhere to such concepts", where is your logical steps? What proof do you have or evidence to support this claim, much less any of your claims. You seem to highly disregard others theories without supporting your own. If you cannot support your theories with logical steps and substantial evidence, I see no reason to continue this argument for it is much like talking to a religious leader. Disregarding all logic to "believe" in their own, with no support for their theories other then disregarding others. Im sorry, this argument has no value in philosophy anymore, when logic seems to go away, and it fades into "belief".Subatomic God wrote:Uriahharris wrote:

Re: What is Mind?
"logical steps", is why you don't see the actual logical steps, because you live in an illogical society, based on illogical practices, called "literal". This Universe is not literal; it's metaphorical. That means the only way to truly understand it, is to escape from the distinctive illusions, and see the world via energy, vibration and frequency, not how we perceive it, because the world is anything but what we want it to be. It comes down to Allegory of the Cave; people play with shadows, making their own realities, unwilling to escape from their facades they had created unknowingly.Uriahharris wrote:

If you can't see how water is older than the planet itself. That the planet produces colorful arrays of electromagnetic waves like the human body. If you can see that the human eye has patterns akin to the Universe. That the photo receptors that capture our experience were formed prior to stars. That our lungs are based on plant design. That our heart is based on four stages of four different sea creatures. That our entire neuron system is based on the patterns in the Universe. That human life is existing upon these energies, and reacting, flowing according to these energies - that we are negative and positive because of the ions within us.

I will tell you what I have told others. It is not true until argued to be true. You may very well be right, but until you can support your claims to others ( which is the point of this forum upon which you post). Then it holds no sway in philosophy let alone science. Logic is needed to sway others, not yourself. Upon which I will not comment or argue your beliefs, for I have no need to until you can put logic into it and they have a solid foundation.

I treated my ideas like children, and because of that, the Universe spoke to me because in order to become more than animal or Man, you have to take control over your entire collective consciousness; take it, compare it to the Universe, realize how small it is and then set yourself free from the constraints of focus points, which is what people don't do, nor do you.

While you look for "logic", I'll just keep breaking down the Universe and human mind for how it "works", via reverse-engineering, cross-referencing and self-similarity. I'll just wake up from my everyday and come up with incredible ideas based entirely on what I broke everything down to, because life is not about gaining knowledge - it's about reducing knowledge, to become the anti-anti-intellect.

People who don't know as much as they think, who make a game out of discussions and arguments, are people that have worlds to learn before they can discuss with types like me that breathe philosophy / ontology, that live for ideas more than food, luxury and desire, who have taken full control over every circumstance they possibly could within their human limits, from which they came into a stage of consciousness that is beyond Monster & Man.Uriahharris wrote:

You continue to say "logic", "rant", along with other descriptions you have merely typed up without a basis. This is begging the question, because you have no actual argument to display. You merely beg the question based on your limited senses, which is why everything we're discussing ends at your feelings, while it has no end for me or this Universe. The reason why you created a make-believe end, is because you do not want to accept your own short comings.
Anybody that argues this information like you do, lost the moment they thought logic and sense was built on begging and pleading, rather than breaking down information and progressing from one point to another.
Water is consciousness.
Fire is will.
A dying star is a psychopath.
Galaxies devouring other galaxies would be greed.
Black hole would be new life - insanity, when new life is not taken.
Birth of a galaxy would be our eyes.
Gravitational forces would be our ability to influence others and pull people in.
The process of a black hole's coming into new life, is the process of human experience.
Instead of begging the question - use your brain and argue each individual debate based on how everything works, not how your feelings tingle. I have already learned how to not choose what to think about and feel about - I let the whole Universe in.

Re: What is Mind?
Yes, and science must assume an independently existent universe BUT can we really know what that universe is independently of the human mind comprehending it? When I answer my own question and say ultimately all is mind and all that exists is a manifestation of mind, I would be including the internal comprehension as part of that universe, after all can you really prove anything exists without a mind to comprehend it? So while I agree with you that solipsism lacks validity, the question of what is the external universe is still up for debate - How significant is our comprehension of the universe {or reality]? - Could there be many worlds seen differently by other minds other than human?That's what happens to solipsists, when they get ruined by someone who knows how to escape useless questions like "how do you know that everything isn't just sensory?" - maybe it's because I was born from a fetus, I wouldn't want to be the father of all of this stupidity or ignorance, and I can tell that this entire Universe is external - independent, yet complimenting of my own experience.

Starting with the pattern which consists of our brain neurons forming in the same manner as the Universe's matter and energy. Therefore the Universe existed before the human mind - the human mind is based on the Universe, like a child; an individual state. They are not reliant - the photo receptors were created billions of years ago before human life; before stars. Unless you are saying that the human mind, is the Universe - you're wrong. There's evidence that everything is one - there's no evidence that supports the Universe being the mind's sensory field, when the Universe gave birth to the human mind.
