One of the interesting things about Mitchell, in terms of a philosophical praxis, is what happened to her as a child. She contracted polio and somehow got the notion into her head that if she could keep singing she would be well and wouldn’t die. Who's to say it could have been otherwise?

"It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures." ~ Simone Weil.

Therefore, EXACTLY as I had envisioned.

So now, what is the name of the 'thing' that causes, creates, or provides 'the mechanics of matter', and, what is the name of the 'thing' that causes, creates, or provides 'the autonomy of creatures'?

And, could those 'things' just what the word 'God' has meant or been related to, EXACTLY?

“Papa's faith is people
Mama she believes in cleaning
Papa's faith is in people
Mama she's always cleaning
Papa brought home the sugar
Mama taught me the deeper meaning”
- Joni Mitchell

Comment:
The deeper meaning is found in the causes, effects and implications of cleaning (order, and ordering.)
Creation of order. Preservation of order. Destruction of order.
This causes all movement in the universe, even the “mechanics of matter,” referenced by Weil.
Each is necessary for the other.

Therefore, EXACTLY, as I have been SAYING and POINTING OUT, ALREADY.

Here is a GREAT EXAMPLE of when people MAKE CLAIMS but are completely and utterly INCAPABLE backing up what they CLAIM, nor being able to ELABORATE on what they say, and this, it will be found, is because they are NOT ACTUALLY SURE of what 'it' is that they are SAYING and CLAIMING.

Clearing up...if I have to ask a question about a subject, then that is a demand for an answer to what I do not know, else why bother to ask the question in the first place, except the demand for an answer. The answer to this question is that it's as though I am looking for an answer to what I do not know, so that I will eventually know what I didn't know.

Does that clear up and clarify the blatant contradiction Age?
And may I ask, is there anything untoward with the idea of 'contradiction'.. that you just had to bring to the table in such a blatant manner?

God to me, is everything that ever is, was, and ever will be infinitely forever. Which logically deduces everything to nothing as being the very first source.

In other words, if we are to attempt to put this into knowledge. God is the dreamer, the dreaming, and the dream simultaneously. In other words, all there is is nothing,not-a-thing, no-thing appearing as it's equal and exact opposite, in the context a mirror can never be anything but what it reflects, and the reflection is nothing other than the mirror itself.


.

To add more...God is every experience known to consciousness, to which there are infinite expressions of experiences, for example: A 'murderer' and the murderers ' victim' are two experiences of what God is capable of experiencing, because in the absolute infinite freedom to be, absolutely anything can happen, and will happen without restriction or resistence, and that is absolute freedom to be, which is this immediate unconditional love that is God.

The one looking out of your eyes is the same one looking out of every other eye.

The one eyed looker is king.

''And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.''

You are the ONE. Only you are responsible for your actions, only you, for there is no one like you because there is no other than you, others are you in a different meat suit that's all..as God desired to experience every combination there possible could be.

There was no sacrifice for you, nor was there a saviour for you. You are absolutely everything already. You are the perfect nothingess appearing as everything.

1. There is NEVER a 'have to ask a question about a subject'. However, if there is some CURIOSITY, then one MAY ask a question about a subject.

2. Asking a question about a subject is NOT necessarily a demand for an answer AT ALL. Some just ask questions about a subject to SEE if an answer is provided or not.

3. One can ALREADY KNOW an answer but STILL ask "another" a question, about a subject, just to gauge how much the "other" REALLY does KNOW or just says that they know.

4. One can a question, in the first place, to either learn, to gain CLARITY, to SEE and gauge what "another" really does know or not know.

But then one would have to have a curiosity, which to me, is indistinguishable from the demand to know something, by asking a question about a subject one is curious about. Unless you HAVE a curiosity, then no question is likely to arrive is it.

To question is a demand for knowledge Age...no matter whether one is questioning it's own curiosity, or is curious another source of knowledge is available, as and through another one's consciousness.

Age wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 8:50 am3. One can ALREADY KNOW an answer but STILL ask "another" a question, about a subject, just to gauge how much the "other" REALLY does KNOW or just says that they know.

It is true that one can ask another conscious being a question that the asker alreadys knows the answer to. But to me, it's not necessary to do so, because the other consciousness will only be able to possess it's own self bias opinion on a subject.
And personally, I do not believe for one minute that every single conscious human being will ever be on the same page at exactly the same time. This has been proven over and over again in philosophical discussions. So all that can be said about the sharing of knowledge is take what is true to you and reject what isn't.

Some people choose to live the comfortable lie, while others choose the uncomfortable truth.

For me personally, all learning is about knowledge which is always a passed down second hand knowledge based on someone elses self biased opinion. And it is through that knowledge that we all conspire to agree or not. Some people choose to think only for themselves, rather than take on board someone elses self bias opinion, when it comes to self-knowledge about their being, especially the knowledge about God.

Everything is indistinguisable from Nothing, in my opinion. What distinguishes a physical thing from a non-physical thing is simply a perception, and to me, any distinction is all the same one conscious action. I use the dream analogy because reality to me is likened to a dream in which no thing actually happens, it only appears to happen. And I have no idea as to HOW OR WHY dreaming happens, all I know is that it does.

A mirror and it's reflection are indistinguishable, inseparable and always one and the same phenomena, and that was my point, about the mirror analogy.

A 'mirror' AND a 'reflection' are two VERY DIFFERENT things, OBVIOUSLY.

The difference is conceptual, a mirror is a mirror, a reflection is a reflection. Yes, two different concepts. But the point was, the mirror is a metaphor for consciousness, now that's not too difficult to work out that consciousness and the contents of consciousness are the same one phenomena. Different words for the same principle is all that I am saying.

Yes one is unconditionally free to act in anyway shape or form, simply because it is my understanding that there is nothing to stop anything from happening, as nothing is making anything happen. Something either happens or it doesn't happen. If a human being chooses to kill another, there is absolutely nothing that can undo that choice once it is made. Because actions are totally and utterly free to act in every moment. And to me, that freedom is unconditional love, it's all God's will.

Well, I can only speak for myself, and that any apparent others are of my own creation, and I take on that creation as if it was real and true, because I can know of no other source, other than what I create myself. Knowledge to me is a second order phenomena, the first order being, being this immediate presence of being, prior to knowing it.....so only I can be contradicting myself here, which to me is perfectly normal since I am the only original source of knowledge, which can only ever be my own creation. As I know nothing outside of my own first person knowing consciousness.

Okay, but to me, 'being curious about some thing', and, 'demanding an answer (or demanding to know something), is VERY DISTINGUISHABLE.
In the former one can be curious and NOT ask for ANY thing NOR demand for ANY thing AT ALL, whereas in the latter one is demanding some thing.

But, while we are here, one HAS TO BE 'curious' BEFORE they even want to ask for an answer/clarity. And, one can also just ask for an answer or to know some thing while NEVER expecting NOR EVER demanding an answer nor clarity.

If this is a question, posed to me, then I agree that curiosity is needed before questioning arises. However, this is just 'sidetracking' away from your claim that "if you HAD TO ask a question, then that is a demand for an answer".

Now, you may well DEMAND answers for EVERY question you ask, but I CERTAINLY DO NOT.

Also, you may feel, think, or BELIEVE, that you HAVE TO ask questions, but this is obviously NOT thee Truth of things.

This may well be from YOUR perspective "dontaskme". But, this is CERTAINLY NOT the case for ALL "others".

SEE, when we question things, we are just seeking to learn more, or become wiser. There is NEVER ANY demand for knowledge, but if knowledge comes our way, then so be it. All is well and good.

It is true that one can ask another conscious being a question that the asker alreadys knows the answer to. But to me, it's not necessary to do so,

OF COURSE it is NOT 'necessary' to do so.

WHY do you have this propensity to automatically ASSUME that when some says some thing happens, then they are CLAIMING that 'that thing' HAS TO HAPPEN, or is a NECESSITY?

Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 12:23 pm because the other consciousness will only be able to possess it's own self bias opinion on a subject.

This is NOT true, 'you', human beings, are able to posses, and share, ACTUAL Facts on ANY subject, and NOT just biased opinions AT ALL.

Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 12:23 pm And personally, I do not believe for one minute that every single conscious human being will ever be on the same page at exactly the same time.

'you' are FREE to BELIEVE absolutely ANY thing you like. But do not forget that what you BELIEVE creates 'bias confirmation' at its highest level.

For example, if EVERY other human being were on the 'same page', at exactly the same time, you would, purposely, be, and stay, on 'another page' just so you could and would make your OWN BELIEF true, right, and correct.

You would NOT BELIEVE some thing if it were NOT true and right, correct?

Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 12:23 pm This has been proven over and over again in philosophical discussions.

Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 12:23 pm So all that can be said about the sharing of knowledge is take what is true to you and reject what isn't.

For me personally, all learning is about knowledge which is always a passed down second hand knowledge based on someone elses self biased opinion.

And, considering the Fact that ALL self based opinion can be False, Wrong, and/or Incorrect, then ALL knowledge to you could also be False, Wrong, and/or Incorrect, correct?

Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 12:23 pm And it is through that knowledge that we all conspire to agree or not.

If what you CLAIMED here was true, then we ALL would be on the same page, at exactly the same time.

SEE, if ANY one CLAIMS that we ALL could NEVER agree on some thing or we could NEVER be on the same page, at exactly the same time, then they could NOT, logically, then also CLAIM that we ALL do the EXACT SAME thing nor things.

Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 12:23 pm Contradictions are a part of reality within the conceptual language that is knowledge, especially when discussing the subject of God.

Yes each to their own understanding of self-actualisation. Which to me, is all God anyway.
If others want to say God cannot be evil, then to me, that's just denial of their true nature, which to me, is whoever knows tha concept of evil is the only creator of evil. This to me, is not a complicated realisation, it's very basic and simple actually.

Would 'abusing things' REALLY be what God is said to be able to do?

To me personally, God is everything, there is nothing that is not God. So whatever can be known, is what God is.

Okay, but in the opening post here I did say; Now, for this discussion to begin and to be successful we just have to work out if there could be absolutely any existing thing that could do what God is said to be able to do, and then see if any of those things could be what the word 'God' was just actually referring to.

By the way, your mirror analogy can be REFUTED as all one has to do is cover the face of the mirror and then there is NO reflection, but the mirror, OBVIOUSLY, REMAINS. Meaning; A mirror and its reflection ARE distinguishable.

Even your OWN words CLEARLY points this Fact out. Saying, " A mirror and 'its' reflection' " means TWO separate or distinguishable things, and, saying, that those TWO things 'are' indistinguishable means there are TWO, different, things.

But 'consciousness' is just consciousness, while 'the contents of consciousness', if you have not guessed it already is 'the contents of consciousness'.

To add more...God is every experience known to consciousness, to which there are infinite expressions of experiences, for example: A 'murderer' and the murderers ' victim' are two experiences of what God is capable of experiencing, because in the absolute infinite freedom to be, absolutely anything can happen, and will happen without restriction or resistence, and that is absolute freedom to be, which is this immediate unconditional love that is God.

Yes one is unconditionally free to act in anyway shape or form,

I would NOT say that one is unconditionally free to act in ANY way, shape, nor form, as one is limited by the thinking within the body, and it is thinking which controls the way, shape, and form one acts, or behaves in.

One is CERTAINLY absolutely FREE to CHOOSE. But EVERY one of 'you', human beings, only has a limited choice to CHOOSE from.
