My goodness! A proliferator of rubbish defending other people's rubbish, when he can't even demonstrate the existence of his own rubbish, though rubbish it be. :slap:

My, my...the rubbish we live and die for! :facepalm:

Tell me, o wise one: :bow:

Where is "I"? :shrug:

Well if you don't know where 'you' are....'you' are truly lost.
or maybe a might powerful confused.

Most likely confused.

Where is this "I" that can get lost or confused?

Can you show us its location? :shrug:

The greatest minds have looked and have come up empty handed, yet you seem pretty cocksure of its existence. All I ask is that you show us where it is located. Can you do that, or are you incapable?

hey GNG,
Quote: "Can you show us its location? "


One thing that I see is that you refer to the presence of "I" as "it's".
I think that you should subsitute "one's", in the possesive sence,
"I" is always personal in my opinion. I think you have forgotten this use.
I think you forget a lot in all, in your own consciousness.

I see.

So instead of saying: " 'I' is it's own hallucination";

one should say: " 'I' is one's own hallucination"

Yes. I like that.

Sorta like saying that one has his udders all in a bunch.

Nice. :)

Impossible. There is no "I" that can become confused, nor any confusion that "I" can have.

Only those that think "I" exists can be confused.

In your confusion, have you stumbled across the precise location of this confused "I" you cherish and cling to so dearly?

Haha... Good. (I like the alerts. It tells you when you are quoted. Hot off the press.)

It has to be I think. Existence is what everything is about. We all say 'I' at then end of the day, and because of this, we all have to learn. It is a loonnnggg process :)

What can any of this actually mean?

Did you bother to read Kierkegaard's critique of the exito in post #3075?

Ahhh...it goes on and then off again..that's what you said...meaning GNG said that.
Everthing has been 'on' for quite a while now, I wonder what will turn it 'off' ?
Who has it's finger on that switch, or thumb as some would have.
What caused 'nature' to become "It", that entity that controls everything we sense, hear, feel, and see.
Such a mighty 'bulb', turning on and off like that, go on nature turn your switch.

You know....we still haven't found the flipper of the switch ?
What price is consciousness, where is the "I" that evolved, what is the purpose ?

"The geese, flying across the still pond, do not intend to cast their shadow on its surface;
nor does the pond intend to reflect their image."
Zen Source

When the fruit falls from the tree, there is no intent to fall, nor is there a faller of the fruit. There is only falling fruit. It is a spontaneous action.

There is no 'flipper of the switch'

Just as crest implies trough, on implies off. The one cannot exist without the other. Each phase is a naturally occurring consequence of the other, like night and day.

Now you see it; now you don't.

Peek a boo!

Hide and Seek.

You're playing it now.

hey GNG,
It's a shame that your geese crapped on your pond.
You're once again not making any sense !
The only thing there is the shadows of the flight,
and the position of the switch, I think yours is not on !

Excuse me? A switch is being deliberately flipped to cast the geese's shadows on the pond's surface?

A switch is being deliberately flipped to reflect the geese's image?

A switch is being deliberately flipped to cause the fruit to fall from the tree?

You're not making any sense, mud.

Otherwise, show me the flipper of the switch.
