So, we have been addressing quite a few rather heady topics recently. I thought that in order to help some of the materialists get up to speed philosophically, I would start a topic on emptiness. This notion is near the core of much I have been writing recently. It directly addresses the nature of reality in a scientific way albeit with a different approach than that which can be addressed by the science most are familiar with.
Why would one say or even suggest that the brain is not where consciousness resides? Why would one suggest that what we feel and see is in fact not there? …valid questions. And, little within the western tradition of philosophy will address these and other metaphysical issues…except perhaps science when it comes to the actual nature of things say physically exist…and, of course, this does include ‘us’…and our brains, thus that which many demand is the seat of consciousness. So…here I ask you to become a true skeptic and examine very closely the things you see and feel. What is the nature of a table? Does it exist? How do we know a table is a table? Does a table ever change what it is? Etc. To get a better view of some of the issues for those willing to take the red pill and not remain in the habit of eating blue pills, I will introduce you to one of the greatest philosophers of all time, Nagarjuna. Vam may have some clear and perhaps opposing views, and, I hope for a lively discussion. How could he come to find that emptiness is the ultimate cosmology? Why would you not agree with him? http://www.iep.utm.edu/nagarjun/ http://bahai-library.com/personal/jw/other.pubs/nagarjuna/ (a couple of resources) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
