...lol - our own existence is a demonstrable experience...plus, you have led's don't you? You know damn well where that idea came fromShould have stated 'demonstrable' experiences.
E.g. Saying you've been to the astral plane, but not being able to prove it with any information that couldn't have been gathered elsewhere, doesn't count!
Yes, it is. It is physically demonstrable to other people. I can take a picture of you, or video and prove that you exist. I could shake your hand, and other people can do the exact same thing, under the exact same conditions; that's to say that shaking your hand is a demonstrable, repeatable, experiment....lol - our own existence is a demonstrable experience...plus, you have led's don't you? You know damn well where that idea came from
You're just changing the meaning of intuition from one second to the next. There is no discussing this with you because you have come to a conclusion about what intution actually is, even if it disagrees with the most common used definitions. There may be something you are trying to represent and explain but it is not intuition in the normal sense. Words have meaning, and you are choosing to avoid and/or change those meanings. I am not putting you on ignore, but I am also not spending any more energy trying to explain how what you are saying is still bullshit.
Reminds me of my kid's favorite joke - Two friends are camping in Yellowstone, when suddenly they see a huge grizzly bear running right for them. One guy takes off immediately without putting on his shoes, while the other calmly bends down to put his on. The running friend yells, 'what are you doing? We need to outrun that bear!' The second friend yells back, 'I don't need to outrun the bear, I just need to outrun you!'
Is consciousness fractal in nature? Chaotic sure, and there are certainly strange attractors. Great stuff. But don't you think that the infinitude of the distance from point to point along the edge of the set is the same as the infinitude of points along a straight line? Despite that, we are able to arrive at point b from point a, unless you can't get there from here. Can it be described or expressed in or with nonlinear differential equations?
I can't wait to start using this one: "Dude, you aren't just wrong. You're fractally wrong!"
??? I think one of us didn't understand what Heis was getting at...
...I've read that the idea came from 'aliens'. Sorry man, just joking around.
...pattern recognition, Heisy?
...or precognition that is the expectation that springs from prior recognition?
Like the belief that its impossible to know if god exists?
Short of a deity actually revealing himself (herself?) to us, do you think it's possible to know if gods exist?Like the belief that its impossible to know if god exists?
...maybe part of the problem is that some folks would benefit from seeing that an explanation doesn't provide an answer. The answer is purely subjective and might only provide a sense of direction. It takes a sht load of work to get to the middle of it all...no one can do it for you.
Nah, say aliens came down far more advanced than us, and told you that gods certainty do exist, and that they have found exactly 13 different gods that have an effect on our existence...Like the belief that its impossible to know if god exists?
Besides creating the universe we exist in, I think gods have little to no effect on our existence anyways , unless you see some traditional shaman and drink some ayahuasca, or something of that other worldly nature. I'd be skeptical of the aliens because according to the crazy abductees, a lot of them are not nice lol.
