I practice philosophy as a state of being.



A state of being that recognizes the intellectual function as just that; a function.



We're not going to think our way out.


No matter how much you think, no matter what you know, we can't think our way out.


Working to move our consciousness to the right side of our brain seems to, occasionally fumble dynamic insights and understandings.


I recognize and appreciate the irreplaceable need for our intellect in all aspects of our life.




Having said that, there are characteristics of the intellectual function that at times demands and accents our individuality.





And the reality is you agree with me.

In reference to this thread, we own nothing. We possess nothing. Everything that we perceive as part of us is actually just passing through us.


That understanding, that perception of our living liquidity is what I cherish to experience as a working philosopher.

Actually you just think you do. What you are actually doing is a mish-mash of mysticism, pseudo eastern religious beliefs and practices, mainly I suspect to replace a lost religious faith, probably catholicism. No problem there, whatever floats your boat but it's not Philosophy, at least not Western Philosophy, as this Philosophy is about reason and rationality.
A state of being that recognizes the intellectual function as just that; a function.
Of what?
We're not going to think our way out.
Out of where?
No matter how much you think, no matter what you know, we can't think our way out.
Out of what? You having an existential crisis?
Working to move our consciousness to the right side of our brain seems to, occasionally fumble dynamic insights and understandings.
But mainly just pseudo nonsense.

Do you? What does this actually mean?
Having said that, there are characteristics of the intellectual function that at times demands and accents our individuality.
What does this "individuality" consist of without the intellect?
And the reality is you agree with me.[/size]
I can barely make sense of what you say.
In reference to this thread, we own nothing. We possess nothing. Everything that we perceive as part of us is actually just passing through us.
What's this "us" it's 'passing' through then?
That understanding, that perception of our living liquidity is what I cherish to experience as a working philosopher.[/size]
Nope, a budding gnu who thinks what he says has portent when it's just mumbo-jumbo, philosophically that is. Might sound better on some new-age quasi mystical site but here it's just bunk.

You post links to those you say have something to say and they all understand and practice what they preach. You do none of this. You just preach as you wish to be a gnu.

Before I even read your response, let me say, your piecemeal, literal approach reflects the format of understanding you are confined to.

After reading your response, I am increasingly unimpressed with you.


Please don't make me regret saving your ass months ago.




No, ya know, I will never regret that.


You are unimpressive
though.



Perhaps I am just seeing you with new eyes...

That you think it 'piecemeal' reflects your inability to concentrate a train of thought. That you think "literal" a confinement also reflects this. The way I reply is comprehensive, I reply to any questions and give my opinion, where I have one, upon all of post else I show by ellipse where I've ignored. That I rarely have to use paragraphs reflects the piecemeal content of the posts I'm responding to. All of which you conspicuously fail to do as despite what you said to that Russian gnu you are not here to talk but be a gnu. Which is also why you either shove your nose so far up the backside of other gnus or get angry with them when they appear here with a more successful approach than yours, eny is a pitiful thing.

You live in a world of your own delusion. The value of your judgement means nothing to me.
Please don't make me regret saving your ass months ago.
Once more this delusional assertion. And once again I ask you to explain and show me where you have done such. :roll:
No, ya know, I will never regret that.
You are talking to yourself again!? I have no interest in your emotions.
You are unimpressive though.
Unlike the gnu I have no interest in 'impressing' others nor does my self-esteem need such approbation. Unless of course they are worth impressing and we have a common goal.
Perhaps I am just seeing you with new eyes...
lmao! So I impressed you once did I?

I'd be more impressed if you actually replied and answered questions for once rather than all this delusional psycho-babble that you always respond with. Gnu I name thee!

Whoa...



Hold-on.



I have no beef with you. I never will.


What you need to do is clear your throat.

Take a deep breath.


And know I will never mock or humiliate you.



We cannot go back and change the past
...but there's no need to.




Please re-read my above posts within this thread and understand that we are not, in the big picture, all that different.



All of us here play by the same rules. I understand you.

I have no 'beef' with you per se Bill. It's your thoughts I disagree with in a philosophy forum.
Take a deep breath.

And know I will never mock or humiliate you.
What a tender world you live in.
We cannot go back and change the past...but there's no need to.
No idea what delusion you are living in now?

If you did you'd do us the courtesy of responding to our questions.
