regarding "free will":
The true free will is not to "want what one wants" - it is to decide between the latter and "not to want what one wants"..... because one does not know what one really wants and would like to experience it (tzimtzum in kab…
Regarding your theory of „hoodwinking“:
In the stated system “fisherman-fish” you show a system of relationship between two egoists: the fish just wants to eat (no real egoism in terms of kabbala, because he is trying to get what he rea…
Let me try a summary:
It seems we both agree in one: life is a game!
We don’t agree about what’s the game for: illusion (you) or purpose (I).
We both agree: there are contradictions appearing in our consciousness regarding perceiving re…
I agree with your assessment regarding me. But what you call linear is not linear.
There is a circle likewise in kabbalistic attainment: we start from highest level unconsiousness and drop down to lowest level and come back to highest level by cons…
only one last statement to your picture of nature:
the behaviour of evolution from your side of view seems to be a little neo darvinistic (the strongest will survive etc.) because you are telling from bacteria taking all "they need" like a bank r…
ok - let me clarify:
I have nothing attained yet only met an authentic kabbalist (who seems to me to have attained something) - and of course I am trying to compare the wisdoms of humanity for the purpose of "the meaning of my life".
I only try …
I fully understand your scepticism against all human religions - as you call it "linear" and "my own is the superior".
I agree too: egoism is a special force appearing only in humans society. For me it is a part of the great law.
I don't see "…
You misunderstood me: I am not trying to philosophise. I am telling from laws.
If I hold a stone in my hands and let it drop it will fall to the ground. So the stone is following a law and "aims" to get the same situation he got in my hands befor…
This is a very fine parable and one can learn a lot from it:
There is only one truth (the elephant) and many blind guys searching for it but find different answers.
But most interesting for me seems to be the intention of the raja (who knows t…
You are right: on the one side beliefs are the cause of many conflicts in humanity on the other side one needs it for scrutinies (of course only if one thinks one have to do scrutinies at all!). You are right too in asserting that beliefs tend to d…
now we are going really in circles!
But I am grateful to know now your core believe: nature ist purposeless. From here on no further discussion
makes any sense because all arguments have their base on core believes.
The question is: why one …
great....
your formula: Need (emotion) + thought (cognition) = wanting, desire, wishing, craving, longing
...but again your are not answering on "purposefullness" of all things....
I agree: "thought" is only on the human side and "need" is …
I am very grateful for this dialogue!
We just reach the core of our discussion: the nature of wanting. We agree both in: wanting is something we can't redeem - it is nature. Your solution is: get "wanting" and "having" in balance. But what is bal…
Thanks Carl,
there is no difference between us in "treating all as perfect". If one goes to school it would be foolish to judge this as a non perfect state even if after school the state changed to another level. There is a differnce in knowing o…
Hi Carl,
thanks a lot for giving your answers. In most cases I agree with your analyses but not in the often unspoken solutions that my be intended by them from your side.
It seems you end up in “to do nothing externally is better than to d…
