"that what exists is that which....."
    #1536044 -

"..... by its very nature causes itself to exist."

It seems a bit too obvious.

It's like saying "This rock is here because it is here."

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?

There is no other reason.

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy.

just got around to reading the first half of that, and he does in fact mention spinoza. Nice.

Spinoza's ethics always intrigued me

From the link:

Quote:
We just need our paradigm of mindstuff to catch up with the rest of biology, which says we are symbiotic colonies, not single life units.




Great line.
