well made i like the fact that when you are not kind to others ....indeed you only hurt yourself....i would add here then that in everything you do use your heart as your compass. :) always listen to your heart it will lead you to the truth and trut…

"Motion is context. We, humans and other rational paradigms,lack the capacity to sense movement. It is the change of context that we "see" and it is the binding of sensory flow that allows for abstraction." - in relation to this, i probably dont und…

He seems to only describe half the problem. if there is no awareness of time, then there is no awareness of change and thus no awareness of space or division for that matter. (infact awareness of anything seems to be somewhat integral altogether) so…

So, what is Aorism? All I found are a few Gnostic references.

I agree, for me: the pursuit of happiness is the problem. if you are happy with what is, there is no reason to pursue. not to be confused with the emotion either; we all feel sad, angry, envious, happy, ecstatic. to cut off one deppreciates the othe…

"The point is always that most Western philosophers don't understand a thing about Buddhi, the light of true Reason. So, they continuously err in their judgments. Plato called that level of thinking doxa. (opinion, etc.) " thank you for your comment…

To continue the trail of thought, and some of the questions already previously asked on the site... why have a TS at all? if we are pursuing truth, then why? do we seek 'truth' for power? security? pleasure? perhaps there is some 'higher' purpose or…

The Will of the ONE LIFE is the supreme cause of all things: the cause of the lover and the hater. All things tending toward the universal objective. It seems to me that we may be able to manipulate what we think to be our free will,to occupy the po…

There just isn't a word that encompasses the experience that Mikhayl was alluding to. If you've been there you know what it is as soon as you see the word. It is beyond not-me-ness, into all-everythingness. All the books in the world can't teach you…

They are interesting questions. I thought about free & divine will a lot when I was slightly younger than you. You said '... how do we maintain the our renunciation without the power of free will' and '... can we not surrender our will to ... the hi…

Hi I'm Mikhayl,

I'm a member of the Hobart Lodge in Tasmania, and have a broad range of interests in Science, Philosophy, the Arts and Esotericism.

Currently im looking into Neurotheology, the Technological Singularity, Advaita Vedanta (but leaning towards the works of Sri Ramana Maharshi) and Krishnamurti.

Im Currenlty working at Mystate Financial Credit Union, but looking at returning to University to study Philosophy, Religion and Teaching.

EYES ON AIS by Intelligence Realm

Create an AI on Your Computer
Written on May 28, 2009 – 11:48 am | by Aaron Saenz |
Intelligence Realm is seeking to build the first AI using distributed computing.

If many hands make light work, then maybe many computers can make an artificial brain. That’s the basic reasoning behind Intelligence Realm’s Artificial Intelligence project. By reverse engineering the brain through a simulation spread out over many different perso… Continue

Wolfram Alpha ‘knowledge engine’ the new nerd on the block

A NEW site that aims to catalogue “as much of the world’s knowledge as possible” and use it to answer every question imaginable has the tech industry buzzing.

Developed by British physicist Stephen Wolfram, the Wolfram Alpha “knowledge engine” was this week opened to the public — and much fanfare.

The idea is that if Google sorts through all the pages on the web and tells you which one to read, Wolfram Alpha reads them itself and then tells you the answer.

In Wolfram’s words:

“We’re trying t… Continue

Free will

A question occurred to me that i thought i would share.

it asks, if free will exists can we renounce it?

if the answer is yes we can renounce it, then how do we maintain our renunciation without the power of free will?

if the answer is no we cannot, then the question is asked, is free will forced upon us? and if it is forced upon us then can we not surrender our will to god/the universe/the higher self?

i cant remember if it was Thomas Aquinas or St Augustine that said that Man only has will… Continue

Brain Activity Prior to Conscious Awareness

Brain Activity Prior to Conscious Awareness

A recent study in Nature Neuroscience has sent freewheeling free will discussion aflutter. Here's the abstract:

There has been a long controversy as to whether subjectively 'free' decisions are determined by brain activity ahead of time. We found that the outcome of a decision can be encoded in brain activity of prefrontal and parietal cortex up to 10 s before it enters awareness. This delay presumably reflects the operation of a network of high-leve… Continue

No specific type. Like I stated before, I crave knowledge all types. I do not try to limit myself to only one specific thing.

Everyone needs wisdom. People get inspired by it, live by it. You are never to old to learn something new. I crave knowledge, a part of that wisdom.

MVR, Like your quote by Goethe's Faust, anyone who has initiated an earnest search for Truth in their lives is never disappointed. I always find what I am looking for, like the word "Neurotheology". Would it be easier to simplify the obvious and just say 'common sense' like HPB?

Thank you for the welcome Mikhayl,
It was the Mind Reading Robot posting that enticed me.
I have little spare time for discussions but great gratitude to the likes of you who are 'onto' it. These are all important issues to take notice of in this rapidly changing world. A future being created for the children to inherit..
