The Challenge

After re-reading my last post (¨the truth¨)  and sitting a few hours with my dying step-mother in the middle of the night, I felt the need to condense it and phrase it as a challenge. The challenge (v1.0) Nobody can say anything about the experiential universe, that will always be true, unless it is this statement in different words. The game OK, it´s like a little game. The rules are clear from the one statement (and maybe I´ll have to alter that statement a little in the future, but I now think it´s a good 1.0 version of the statement. From v0.9 I added the unless, because else the statement is a paradox and would actually be proved by disproving it. That didn´t seem fair. So what has to happen to falsify this statement is: Someone has to say anything about experience that will be true in any context. Now in the last post I talked about context and how truth cannot exist without one. I truly believe that. I think replies will mosty be about abstractions (...

Truth

THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUTH Ok, I'm spewing A LOT here. If you need a break, follow some of the links and check them out. Everything I say is verifyable. Either by looking at it and thinking: is that true for me? Or by looking up some piece of video or googling some term.. Truth can ONLY exist in a context. Change the context and any truth disappears. If you don't name your context, that is a recipe for suffering. It can make it seem you are speaking an ultimate truth, something worth believing in even without context. There is NO SUCH THING. There is judgements and opinions, facts don't exist. (except in a context and contexts aren't real..) What REALLY is there is mostly your judgements about yourself and your opinions about your opinions.. To make it a little less abstract: 1+1=2 is only true in the context of math and almost nowhere else. In the context of a heterosexual relationship -to name one at random- 1+1 is how babies are made and used to become an un...

How to get there, Self enquiry

Self enquiry.. Ask yourself: What am I? Your body and mind? If you think you are the body, what does that entail? The body is always changing. If anything you are DNA, more than you are your body. Your body is made up of cells, head to toe. Different kinds of cells for bones, nails, lungs, fat, etc. Your DNA tells your cells, what cells to kill and what new cells to turn your food into. And it tells the cells how to repair themselves ehrn damaged. Your body isn't always made up of the same cells, your cells aren't always made up of the same molecules and your molecules aren't always made up of the same atoms. You are only your body on average. But you are not just your DNA. You body is a dynamic balance that we think of as constant and so is your mind. If you think you are your mind, what does that entail? The mind is always changing. If anything you are your personality, more than you are your mind. The personality is how you react. Your mind is made up of tho...
