I've learned that due to the nature of Ultimate Reality, inner peace is a natural by-product once we possess an enlightened view of the world. Tell me the nature of ultimate reality. By what mechanism does the inner peace become produced (as a by product). Throw in your definition of "natural" as you
Manopeace just published a forum post about CNN posting a list of the 9/11 victims, by name, location and residence. "Photos are included," he solemnly interred. "May their families find comfort in the fact that others share their sorrow and pledge never to allow anything like this to ever happen again." How anyone can try to find an excuse for this act of terror is beyond him. There is none. <a href="https://forums.joeuser.com/Forums.aspx
My last four articles do not show up in my "Recent Articles" tab. It's as if they just stopped getting put there. I sent an email regarding this to the contact address, but haven't heard anything back. In addition, when I look at all my articles in the ockhamsRazor's Articles tab, the ones that have not shown up in "Recent Articles" also have no couple of lines of preview to them. Bleah, here's a picture. Sorry it's so huge. (Not a word, Little Whip.) <img src="h
I ALONE determine my mood and how I feel. Someone can call me "an old, wrinkled~up, grey-haired biddy" and I can choose to sit and have a cry and wish I'd never been born, or I can laugh hysterically, agree, and get up and go put on some music and see if I can still do the Peppermint Twist...... Sometimes th
. . . I thought it was a good answer, but obviously you disagree? No, I told you once already. It was a rhetorical question. The answer was IN the question. It is impossible (in my logic) for imperfection to arise from perfection should such perfection truly be the catalyst of all there is. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=cente
You’re right dude. It’s all been the same discussion. What I meant is that based on what you know of my views, you might have known what I said was a rhetorical question IF you'd thought about it a nanosecond AND IF you've been actually considering things I've said in the past, but instead it was just a
Ockham, some things are considered imperfect only because we choose to label them as imperfect. “Imperfect” is a subjective notion, but from the Divine point of view, that which we humans might consider “imperfect” might not be imperfect at all. If God, the Creator, is perfect and all-powerful, then anything which seems
In Buddhism, the "system" is a set of guidelines written down by a man who, at the time when he wrote them, was no more enlightened than anybody else. If you're referring to the Buddha's "system," he never wrote it down, but at the time he passed it on verbally, he WAS "enlightened." After he died, a gr
God's standard is absolute perfection. Are you perfect? No. Neither am I. Nobody is perfect. No one ever answers my question, and here it is again. How is it possible for imperfection to arise from perfection?
I personally think a mulatto parapalegic epileptic with AIDs, a tic in HER right eye, and a single digit IQ should have been put in there to represent. Happy?
Was the history of Christianity in question? I mean, Christ is pretty much credited with the beginning of Christianity, or shall we say credited with being the catalyst of it. Granted, after that it gets dodgy as to who is following the "true" Christian ways. There are more brands of Christ than there are breakfast cereals. But you don't seem to be talking about denominations (even though you used the word, and no I don't think in that cont
That you wrote this article is an indicator, to me at least, of the real problem. YOU know, and there seems to be some guilt associated with it...or at least a sneaking suspicion that maybe there *ought* to be some guilt associated. Don't get me wrong, I am totally not a believer that you have to have a degree from some accredited institution to be qualified to do something. But that really isn't the issue here. The issue is you're not bein
I'll think about it for a bit and then come back with (hopefully) an answer for you. Not necessary. The answer is for you, not me
I went all the way up through level 8, but skipped 9 to see if I could get a bonus on level 10 Cool, didn't notice you could skip levels. Oh, I forgot. I believe the way t
Ockham, if we attempt to comprehend the Infinite using the finite capacity of our intellect, then we’ll inevitably fail, especially if we adhere to scientific formulas and methods. I agree. Good thing I didn't do that. I'm only writing down thinking processes here, and you seem to be telling me that t
Why is it you care, Dharma? Just curious.
I'd like to see a screen shot of one of the ones that can't be solved. I wonder how the puzzles are generated. It seems to me the smart way to never have a puzzle be "wrong" is to generate it solved, and then have the vertices dragged to random spots in the starting circle. *shrug* My level 9 was harder than my 10, so I am betting you're right - it's luck of the draw as to how mangled and knotted up the starting point is. Fun littl
Nice to see you again, Mason
no one?
Texas, if you insert a blank CD into your drive, a little pop up should happen asking what you want to do with it. Choose "Open writable CD folder using Windows Explorer" Now you should have an open folder window there. Drag all of your pictures into it. When you're done, on the left should be a thing that says "Write these files to CD." Click that puppy. Remember that your CD can only hold somewhere in the neighborhood of 700MB,
It would be nice if you had your points thing run in the background somehow as a statistical analysis that the users did not see in the exact fashion that they currently see it. Sure, they could see the placement, but leave it at that. Competition is fine, but if someone is in 3rd, and they want 2nd, it should be enough to know they aren't in 2nd yet. They don't need to know how many points away from it they are which encourages them to just
Very good article indeed. whether it’s because developers are really out of fresh ideas, or that publishers don’t want to take any risks with new games for fear of not heavily profiting from it You nailed it right out of the start gate here. And this is not limited to the gaming industry, as y
How is your inner sight? You'll need some to get very far with this fun little puzzle game. It starts out easy but gets really difficult quickly. Planarity Here's my score prior to blowing a fuse and quitting: (I want to meet the person that can solve level 10 with a bonus.) <im
This should be in the Game Developers section, not Philosophy
So it all depends on our point of view If you look at it closely, you'll see that perspective is summarily removed from the logic by removing the thrid frame of reference. No matter how you cut it, in a unity, 1 = 1. It isn't good, it isn't bad, it's just 1. If you believe my original statement that God created the universe, then you h
