Unity is indiscernible if no difference is between unity and nothingness.

2. Unity is discernible only through the differences between unity and nothingness.

3. Unity is discernible only as "part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, influence, sensation, origin, derivative, rule, condition, intent, and fulfillment" through the differences between unity and nothingness. (Tabulate the differences between unity & nothingness, if you do not have!)

I assume these statements as the basis of human intelligence. Do you agree?

What are you saying? it looks like a word search paper. been there, done that. so you are looking for the foundation. find the well of meaning and draw from it the knowledge you need to give your thirsty soul.

If there is a difference, unity and nothingness will be two different things. Knowing what reality IS, you will find no difference between unity and nothingness and the ability to discern reality belongs to soul. Hence, the foundation of human intelligence is soul. Without soul, even this hypothetical question of yours would not have come into existence. True understanding is never derived from hypothesis but through the realization of what IT IS as IT IS through the power of knowing. The "knowing" exist in the realm beyond mental. Cross the mental world, and you will realize what is unity and nothingness.

I believe your questions are aimed at those who study middle eastern religion. And the average American can't deal with all those words.

Please ask one question at a time, You throw out lots of words that distract from the question you ask.

The basis of human intelligence is nature, nurture & congnative learning. Who cares about unity, nothinness, fullilment, origin etc........you use way too many words to ask a simple question.

You got some intelligent answers this evening. But more often most people tell you that you don't make any sense.

Eventually the basis of human intelligence is a mind that is able to learn, be influenced and so on. all those words you use are just complicating a simply questions.

Can you try to simplify your guestions?


I can ask a non sense question with like all those you ask ......Does the discrimidateion of the unity begin to asslimiate the nothingness of uity and community and a partrage in a pear tree. Duh? Who gives a rats assssssssssss!!!

Albert Einstein would call your theory 'relativity'. In order to have unity you must have something to relate unity too. Nothingness has nothing to relate to; therefore nothingness can never be proved.

What can you link to nothingness?
What part of what whole?
What origin?

I am intrigued, however, your question is abstract or at least to me it is, can you be more specific.

Are we a derivative of the origins of life, a link to its parts and its whole, with uniqueness of intent and fulfillment through our differences,limits and influences?

Is it not how we relate to stimuli that makes us who we are?
Is not intelligence how we react to unity?

Thought provoking to say the least.

I might agree if I knew more.


Peace...........

For there to be knowledge there must be a subject that is mind independent of humans. There isn't just unity in this reality, but also diversity, then how can one espouse unity alone as the only discernible reality; nothingness is unknowable so its existence is irrelevant? The basis of human knowledge must be objective and knowable. Your unity isn't knowable since there is no objective knowledge to hold on to. What is unity referring to, reality? How is that descriptive of reality, how is that knowable, it is a vague term. Anyway, why do you assume anything? The unity is only your personal perception, and you can't justify its existence in reality, especially if it isn't inter subjectively verifiable. There is one sure foundational truth, and is I can doubt my existence, since I can doubt my existence, and I am the one doing the doubting, I exist.

In one word, the foundation FOR human intelligence is 'differentiate' in every meaning for that word.

http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/en/berkeley.htm

Bishop George Berkeley (1710)

Of the Principles of Human Knowledge.

"80. In the last place, you will say, what if we give up the cause of material Substance, and stand to it that Matter is an unknown Somewhat - neither substance nor accident, spirit nor idea, inert, thoughtless, indivisible, immoveable, unextended, existing in no place ? I or, say you, whatever may be urged against substance or occasion, or any other positive or relative notion of Matter, hath no place at all, so long as this negative definition of Matter is adhered to - I answer, you may, if so it shall seem good, use the word 'Matter' in the same sense as other men use 'nothing', and so make those terms convertible in your style. For, after all, this is what appears to me to be the result of that definition - the parts whereof when I consider with attention, either collectively or separate from each other, I do not find that there is any kind of effect or impression made on my mind different from what is excited by the term nothing."

And if not 'nothing', why not 'matter'.

Unity and separation are opposites, not unity and nothingness.

Something wrong with the translation.

I agree.... human intelligence is founded on the basis of discerning existence as compared to nothingness and differentiating it with other such existences.

In Buddhism, any person who has awakened from the "sleep of ignorance" (by directly realizing the true nature of reality), without instruction, is called a buddha.[8] If a person achieves this with the teachings of a buddha, he is called an arahant. Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, is thus only one among other buddhas before or after him. His teachings are oriented toward the attainment of this kind of awakening, also called enlightenment, Bodhi, liberation, or Nirvana.

Part of the Buddha’s teachings regarding the holy life and the goal of liberation is constituted by the "The Four Noble Truths", which focus on dukkha, a term that refers to suffering or the unhappiness ultimately characteristic of unawakened, worldly life. The Four Noble Truths regarding suffering state what is its nature, its cause, its cessation, and the way leading to its cessation. This way to the cessation of suffering is called "The Noble Eightfold Path", which is one of the fundamentals of Buddhist virtuous or moral life.
According to the scriptures, the Buddha taught that in life there exists sorrow / suffering which is caused by desire and it can be cured (ceased) by following the Noble Eightfold Path (Sanskrit: Ārya 'aṣṭāṅga Mārgaḥ , Pāli: Ariyo Aṭṭhaṅgiko Maggo). This teaching is called the Catvāry Āryasatyāni (Pali: Cattāri Ariyasaccāni), the "Four Noble Truths".

Suffering: Birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering.
The cause of suffering: The desire which leads to renewed existence (rebirth) (the cycle of samsara)
The cessation of suffering: The cessation of desire.
The way leading to the cessation of suffering: The Noble Eightfold Path;
According to the scriptures, the Four Noble Truths were among the topics of the first sermon given by the Buddha after his enlightenment,[9] which was given to the five ascetics with whom he had practiced austerities, and were originally spoken by the Buddha, not in the form of a religious or philosophical text, but in the form of a common medical prescription of the time.
