A lot of this just leads to a bunch of intellectual masturbation. Fun
mental exercise maybe but I could care less. Maharishi made a huge
mistake by over intellectualizing enlightenment whereas other paths
simply just deal with moksha (liberation). This is why I'm a big
advocate of "village tantra."

I'm fairly sure no one here agrees with Descartes. But, hmmmmm. I am
fairly sure that there'd be a great disagreement about what actually
is a thought, so we'd have to have that sussed out firstly before we
put Descartes before us horses....heh.
Even if it is argued that we are but constructs in an immense cosmic
computer, still, that is a form of existence, but the term "alive" now
becomes debatable. Hmmmmm.
By the way: Is a ghost alive?
I agree that I exist as an non-entity -- a semantic designation, but
it's about as ephemeral as I can get with words.
