Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 The question " Why is there something rather than nothing? " is the offspring of a dualistic mind set. The inability to recognize ideas about nothing as ideas and instead taking these ideas as not only representing truth, but actually being truth, is the hallmark of the dualistic mind. Professors and scholars reveal, and publicly display, their naive mind structures when posing that question. Ideas about nothing are the truth, not nothing itself. The dualistic mind is capable of creating a mind-child called 'nothing' and then taking that concept as having intrinsic nature. In reality, the concept 'nothing' is real, not as an actual possibility with concrete existence, but as a concept in its own right. Normally, the human intellect cannot see that it is blinding itself with its own concepts. " Of course there is such thing as nothing, at least hypothetically " , the intellect says. That's the fallacy of many learned professors around in our universities, and indeed also of many people less seasoned in academic studies. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean losing memories, but not to be guided by them all the time. I feel like my memories are hanging over me like a heavy cloud. It's a great burden. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
