Who told u that I have a belief, it is projecting your own mind
and ur mind is looking for answers, my answers are not answers,
they are to experienced and how can one make it to answers. Eg My
mother says that god exists, it may have been true for her and not
true for her. Till I m expereincing it and open to the
possibilities of such an experience, i can go on repeating,which is
nothing more than being sheep. However, if I evaluate, find out and
risk expereincing it, i stand a chance of knowing or not knowing.
This is flowing, and being existential.
Does one get up in the morning and stare at the sun to know that it
exists. Whether one stares at it or not it exists, does it not?
Does one have to have a belief about the sun?
The knowing happens when one looks at the trees, buidings and
realize that they are bright or shine or … and only then one knows
it is cos of the sun’s rays.
Many only realize that they have a head when they have a headache.
Why? no awareness, disconnected from one’s own being Being stupid
is to not know that one has prejudged existence, by that is implied
one superimposes one’s ideas of morality, traditions and ….
existence knows no such thing. Does a cat interpret and impose on
what is or what is not, does it define, it simply abides to what is
or what is not. Human mind, cannot handle the uncertainty that is
inherent and hence the constant fear of the unknowing …...
I can say that I believe in existentialism and why would i say
that, i borrow and make it an idea to chase or expereince based on
this belief. However, when i dont believe/disbelieve, I have
nothing to hold on to or refer when I am moving/not moving with
existence. I am being vulnerable, and the self cannot be propped
up, how to prop up, there is nothing to lean on.
A pond is concepts, a pond is beliefs – it is stuck, vegetating, a
river flows and all these concepts beliefs may become a reality or
an unreality. So, at the end of it all, one has to know whether one
is simply following others, or one is being an individual and
seeking …. Also, whether one is seeking or not seeking, many avoid
these qeustions – is one part of vested interests or one is not a
part of such intereersts. If one is neither of these – jolly well
know that one is for truth (not dicitionary meaning, not absolutes
but in the knowing, expereincing finding out and finding out, there
is no goal, no destination)
I m going to ignore ur …. either u too prejudiced, bigoted or
behind this so called intellect (which anyone can obtain)
intellegence has been jettisoned for …. it a trade off. Still dont
understand, can one try to herd lions? One can certainly herd
sheep, why is that so? Cos the former does not need props the
latter need props. These are methaphors, and to confuse knwoledge
with knowing is the fallacy that seems to percolate and permeate
believers! Knowing transforms, knowledge binds.
Fuzzi, EVERYBODY has beliefs. If you say you do not have any
beliefs that makes you a liar, or a non-human. Choose one.
If you say your answers are not answers but mere experience,
then don't say you have answered them. That also means you are
admitting that you have NO answers to the questions that people are
asking for centuries. What experience can you cite in order to
answer the question of life's origins?
You should ditch the relativistic idea of truth because it is
absurd. If something is true, it is true. It cannot be true
just FOR you. God either exists or He does not. Whether you
experience God or not is IRRELEVANT to His existence. You say you
do not experience Him, yet all this while you are living in His
world. It's like you were estranged from your father from birth,
while you have no experience of fatherhood or a father-figure in
your life can you say that you have no father? Or do you claim to
be born of a virgin? I hope not.
I am bemused with how you are confusing yourself with your
musings. Not only are your musings confusing, they are also
amusing! You make no distinction between things that are seen (e.g.
the sun) and things that are not seen (e.g spirits like God). While
people do not need to believe that the sun exists because they
can see it, people do have beliefs about the sun regarding its
origins, it's make-up, it's behaviour etc etc. Your existential
musings collapses upon itself and ends up in self-refuting notions,
because in pretending to sound deeply philosophical you end up
being logically shallow. That is the existential reality of your
musings!
You refuse dictionary meanings, so why use English words at all?
Why even bother to communicate with words? Every word you use has
its connotations or denotation and definition. If your existential
musings involves playing fast and loose with definitions, then no
wonder you always think you are right because it means that your
beliefs are like gello that cannot be pinned down.
Muse over this, truth can be known and truth can be experienced,
when one lives according to the truth. Knowing and knowledge are
not mutually exclusive, and your thinking so is the fallacy that so
binds you to epistemological confusion. You can't claim to be
knowing without the existence of that which is known aka knowledge.
In short you are confused between knowing and
experiencing, knowledge and experience.
