i don't agree that "I am actually just pure awareness which is actually God surrounded in all this horrible swelling and churning world of desire!" is true
MAYA IS THE IDEA OF MATERIAL DETERMINISM
Well forgetting whether or not we are undifferentiated propertyless awareness.
nor a fair assessment of the upanishads
THAT DENIES IMPORTANCE OF INNER WORLD AND TRANSCENDENT
what's your assessment @devolved
**look at you nerds arguing over abstractions with consequences you cannot even act upon anyway. What have you done so far with this short day in your one short life? go make something happen**
p sure you type more words here than anyone else
need a wordcounter
@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ god i guess
being aware of the divine at all times
externally and internally
yeah but *why*
because it's better that way
life is better
BECAUSE IT IS ACCURATE
WE CANNOT SEPARATE MAN FROM NATURE, LOGIC, AND THE DIVINE
IN PARALLEL
then it doesn't matter. If god is everywhere then everything is just doing whatever God wants.
from the blade of grass to the tranny
for it to matter
Well then he's willing to mutilate his genitals and wear high heels
THAT WAS THE POINT SCHOPENHAUER MADE
LIFE HAS A WILL
THAT EXPANDS IN ALL DIRECTIONS
CONSCIOUSNESS IS NECESSARY TO MEDIATE THIS WILL
TO POINT IT UPWARD
Upward?
To what
He said life is will
The ground floor according to him was just non rational urging. Consciousness and later, thinking, are just grades of will so that it can better meet those urges
Of course he had his little judgement that this is all horrible and so we needed to stop existing altogether by ending craving
everything is alive
i think most of religion is discerning this will
I AGREE
UNION BETWEEN INTUITION AND THE ORDER OF NATURE
BACK TO PLATO
SCHOPENHAUER'S POINT ABOUT URGES WAS THE MOST PEOPLE PURSUE MATERIAL URGES LOOKING FOR MEANING
HE DID NOT YET REALIZE
THAT MOST OF THEM CANNOT DO OTHERWISE
