It is your philosophy Obbe, and it is quite simple.

The only thing a person can know is they exist, or I AM.

You puked this idea on here for a year. Derailed many a thread with it, and regressed back to this childish notion, anytime your ass was handed to you in an argument.

It appears that part of what is being said here is that what one considers to be the “real world” can be a vastly dfferent experience than what one would consider the “otherworld”. Assuming that the so called “real world” is an illusion, the capability for there to be an hallucination within The Hallucination would not only follow suit, but would seem to be a highly probable outcome.

One must remember the story of the drinking gorilla and the five dancing donkeys.

The morrel of which being:

Looks can be deceiving.

So tell me, how a person can hallucinate after taking an illusionary mushroom, and putting it in ther illusionary mouth, and having it affect their illusionary brain.Because it’s all an illusion.
Or as Obbe said:

Nothing in this thread suggests that he doesn’t believe what he has stated.

If he does believe it’s all an illusion (including time), than spenng his illusion one way or another way can only be considered wasted by Obbe.

It's tantamount to insisting something is "hot" and not "cold" in a world where everything has the temperature of 85 Degrees.

2008-12-16, 17:53
That's preciesly the point!

It's tantamount to insisting something is "hot" and not "cold" in a world where everything has the temperature of 85 Degrees.

So you're saying that it is unnecssary to say that there is a that which hallucinates and that this that can have hallucinations within the original hallucination. Because the hallucination can be viewed to be the structure of reality. Meaning hallucinations are in fact not hallucinations but instead the necessary flow that existence must follow. It is like a person exlaiming that it is cold (an illusion) when it is realy a pseudo-illusion at 85 degrees [tricking you into thiking it is an illusion? wouldn't that be another illusion?]. It is like a person exlaming that it is hot (Real) when this part of experience is not the truth of it, while still being a necessary component to the process. Meaning that this hallucination is meant to be experienced and it has the spark of the essence of the original hallucination, however this experience is like looking at the reflection of the glory of the original hallucination within the flowing stream.

What I'm saying, sans the obscurantist bullshit, is this:

If everything is an illusion it makes little sense to insist calling something a hallucination; much like if everything has the same temperature it makes little sense to insist something (and not everything) is cold instead of hot.

Breathing walls, a sense of oneness, voices, visuals...I wouldn't have wasted my time with it though if I knew meditation produces the same effects but to MUCH greater amplitude and can be done with a daily frequency. The meditation wave is stronger than the mushroom wave, the acid wave, even the salvia wave, and, mind-blowingly unbelievable: stronger than the DMT wave.

If everything were the same temperature there would be neither a hot nor cold.

Well, actually, there could be "hot" or "cold" if we decide that "hot", for example, means anything equal or greater than 85 Degrees. What there wouldn't be is a distinction between hot or cold or a case where they are distinct and both exist at the same time... and that is the exact point being made here:

If everything is an illusion you cannot then differentiate between illusions and non-illusions. Or you can, but you end up looking foolish.

I no longer believe I AM can be known, but believe it is more like the most basic assumption. I don't know anything.

I often called reality an illusion to get others to think about it. There really are no "illusions", just as there is no "truth". There only is what there is, "illusions/hallucinations" and "truth" are creations.

You're not representing the analogy accurately.

You said everything is an illusion, which is tantamount to everything being the same temperature. If everything is an illusion then to insist something is a hallucination is either meaningless - in that everything would be a hallucination - or differentiating between that which is a hallucination/illusion and that which is not - which contradicts the premise that everything is an illusion.

It becomes clear you did not understand what has been said.

I have said that it only appears to be an illusion when I said it is part of the structure of reality. Then I explained that there are different levels of distortion that are experienced. There is a Truth, and all experiences are distortions of it. Except for the ultimate experience where all distortions are happening and completed simultaneously, as One. Since there is an Eternal Truth, so to speak, and all so called illusions are distortions of the Eternal Truth, the temperature would always be 85 degrees, yet the temperature is not always perceived that way. All miss-perceptions about the temperature are within/of/from the Eternal Truth, yet forever this Truth remains unsullied.

I disagree rizzo. I think "just looking" at the universe will bring order to it. I will "see" an order even if there is not one.

It's all perspectives. The same reason person A may find concept A to be "more" reasonable then concept B, and person B may find concept B to be "more" reasonable then concept A.

Underneath all those different understandings, all those different orders each claiming to be "right", or "true", where is the reason? There is none.

The logical is born out the illogical. Order is born out of chaos. The finite is born out of the infinite.

That's how it is. You can create reasons if you like to, you can claim there is an intelligent order to the universe ... I don't see it. You could claim it's all up to "chance". That's meaningless. There really is no reason for anything. It is illogical.

Even this understanding of reality is created, by me, in my attempt to see an order where there is not one. I can claim that's how it is as much as I want, as much as you claim there is an intelligent order. Neither of us are changing anything. Both of us create our reasons, though.

I disagree with what I believe you are saying.
I think it is more like this:

http://complexity.orconhosting.net.nz/intro.html

"Life is caught in the tension between order and chaos. If there is too much order, everything becomes the same and there is no room for creativity or anything new. Everything must fit the one pattern. If there is too much chaos nothing can last long enough to create anything useful; everything is just a jumble that destroys everything before it can get started. Between order and chaos is found the Edge of Chaos (http://complexity.orconhosting.net.nz/edgeofchaos.html), the point where there is enough chaos for novelty and creativity, but also enough order for consistency and patterns to endure. This point is a magic point, where new and unimagined properties can emerge."

Apparently I am forbidden from seeing the either of those websites. :(

I think I understand what you are saying. Yin and Yang, the great mother and the great father, the opposites. I really agree with it, it makes a lot of sense to me.

However, I still see order as "coming forth" from chaos. I still see it as a creation of the other. Someone created the concept of Yin and Yang, they created that order. Just as I am creating an order with my own words. Beneath these creations I believe there is only chaos.

I agree that life is caught between the two. But I also believe that order comes from chaos, and not vice versa. Maybe I am wrong, but I also believe that's meaningless, as right and wrong are creations as well.

It's working for me, try googling "chaos theory and complexity theory".

I see what yr saying now.
Although order will naturally arise from chaos, it will always fall back into that whence it came. The order is like a bubble in the bath tub, eventually it will pop and return once again to the chaos of the water. Of course we cannot accurately give an example because all that we know is on the edge of chaos. But the example can allow your mind to go beyond the mind.

That which is, before and after (illogical infinity), and contains within it the speck of the logical finite, could be said to be Reality. Even if it doesn't make any sense.
