forest is composed only of trees,
mind is composed only of thoughts.

the state of deep sleep shows us that something continues whether we are consciously aware of it or not.


thinking is not necessary to being.

have you seen this?

I believe; that all mankind, when led to the after-life, will suffer in eternal fire. For if they are evil on earth, they will suffer. If they are not evil on earth, they will not suffer in the after-life. My question refers to other relegious beliefs on this matter of death and the after-life. Do they believe as I?

So I guess the real question is do we have time to get people to stop hating and start loving one another and to enlighten everyone to their true potential. For little is it known but the human being is indeed a special creature capable of Godlike Potential. So what I AM Saying is if man could be taught how to cure himself of any disease also to teleport to any location instantaneously making the world a much smaller place and universe for thet matter. Could Man put down hate and pick up love, knowing that he has these powers and seeing his true self will he continue to destroy himself and his planet or will he embrace love and stop the looming disaster thru combined mind power alone. I for one think he can make his stand and that he doesn't have to go down at each others throats but can stand and not fall. I think he as one race can deflect the comet so as it passes safely by instead of destroying us once and for all. All the weapons of mass destruction wont work do u think this will?

Star me if you agree with this philosophy.

When somebody insults you in a language you can't understand, whats the point of insulting you in another language. You would not be offended by it should you not understand it and it would be a waste of time for the insulter. Also, to start off with, the insult could not be that offensive in english if you have to say it in another language for an attempt of emphasis.

This is called the foriegn tounge philosophy

I have to declare what my "graduation project" is going to be tommorrow and I can't think of a topic or physical product. I know I want to do something dealing with philosophy. We have to write an 8-10 page paper, which obviously won't be a problem with philosophy; however, We also have to have a physical product to go along with it. This must:

-be student generated and should be based on the research paper.
-provide tangible evidence that reflects the “academic learning stretch” experienced by the student.
-be oriented around the performance of a skill, the production of a product, or the study of a profession
-i must also spend at least 15 hours outside of school doing it (I can use job shadowing for 3 of these.)

If anyone has ideas for a philosophy related 'physical product' I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you know of any books that would help me out on the paper or product that would be fantastic.

Have you ever had someone try to knock you down but you see right through them and you realize it's their own envy & insecurity making them try to tear you apart? Because they are so small (minded if not bodied!) and they recognize your greatness? Because you have so much potential & they have none?

Have you ever had a moment of clarity when you recognize a bully for the coward he/she is?

Have you ever just smiled, shaken your head and thought "Oh well, sucks to be you..."?

:)

& isn't it a great feeling when you don't care anymore? When their cruelty bounces off of you because you like who you are and they obviously don't like who they are or they wouldn't have to attack you?

What a longwinded question! Tee hee...

Cheers cats...

Am I heartless because I never cried when my great grandmother died though I only met her for only 2 months since she live in a different country. I also didn't cry when my dog died when I had it since it was a baby. I could never shed a teardrop. Only time I have cried is when My girlfriend(now ex) relationship was on a cliff and a very sad movie. Another time is when my something happened to our family my sister was crying but I couldn't shed a tear. (Something happened to family but nothing serious happened just somebody had a fever). Am I that heartless I am willing to repay my debt at any cost.

I feel though I'm asking a really stupid question. Interested to see how much of our ability to walk is pre-programmed in our brains or is taught to us by our external environment.

I am thinking about studying philosophy in college (I'm British and post 16 college is like the last two years of high-school not university), and I'm curious as to how difficult it is. I have read one primer on philosophy and I understood the ideas fine . . . but how difficult is it past that? (ie reading philosophical texts.)

*See the extension to this question for the entire scenario.

There are 3 guys. A Bishop, a bandit, and a Buddhist. The Bishop is good, the bandit is evil, and the Buddhist is a middle-of-the-roader that firmly believes in reincarnation. Each one has a radically different life and belief system, but they have one thing in common: they all plan on having their bodies cryogenically frozen when they die, so that they can be thawed, healed, and revived once the technology is available in the future.

Eventually, they all die, and their bodies are laid out and frozen next to each other, with each man in his own chamber. Their souls disincorporate and move on. The bishop goes to Heaven, the bandit goes to Hell, and the Buddhist is reincarnated into his next body. First he’s a bear, then a goat, then a cat, a dog, an eagle, an elephant, and finally a human baby boy. When he’s 9 years old, something extraordinary happens … the technology arises to revive the properly frozen dead.
