every philosophical & spiritual question a person has
    #9043745 - 10/07/08 05:36 PM (15 years, 5 months ago)

aren't all those questions about life & existence etc dependent of that persons vision of reality? and that every idea the person thinks about & seeks answers to are available only in the world view of his/her views to reality.

what i mean is, the question represents the person himself, his views and experiences in life. that there is very little that is objective when it comes to existential questions because all those questions are very personal.

am i right, or am i deluded?

are you sure you really want to ask that question? you'll just get a subjective answer.

Yes initially, but the answers to their questions can sometimes alter their vision of reality. It's an ugly process.

i agree. but the "meta reality" is that your vision of reality will always be altered, with you knowing or not knowing it.

thus once you acknowledge the continuous process of reality changing around AND inside yourself then what?

in my view, as i experience it, all the questions are meaningless because the answers don't really matter. experiencing reality directly is what matters, and your relationship to it.

Yes, I agree with the assertion that all questions are conditioned to be thus so. And the answers given are conditioned as well. What other option is there? That every question is inherent?

imo the more you ask the more you get answers. and the answers don't "really" answer anything, they may only present you with more questions.

that's my take on it and i've reduced asking questions to a minimum. it seems far better to ask questions for yourself and seek a true answer. and then ask "why did i ask myself that?"

that way i always keep in check of myself as to where my interests and motives lie. and the more i practice this the more i start learning to find the answers myself. just looking them up in a book or deciding on an answer.

what i want to achieve by this is blurring the line between wasteful questioning and answering and reaching an amalgamation - where the answer is the question and vice versa.

If the validity of argumentation was paired with the subjectivity of the individual, then anything goes. Solipsism aside, such a standpoint makes for boring philosophical debate.

Quote:

Assuming that reality always stays confined to the person. When one assumes external, disparate realities exist, then one must realize a subjective bias exists in any one particular world view.

In order to answer this question, you really need to define reality. It is localized in someone's mind, or does it exist independent of perception?

A person's questions/answers may be dependent on that person's vision of reality, but what is that dependent on? The more personal-seeming things can be explained in an objective way if the person seeks to do this - if we want to believe that subjectivity leads inevitably to existential despair and separation, we will have good company (interesting), but maybe not wanting those things we will look for the objectivity behind the subjectivity.

Subjectively, one poster could come in here and call you deluded and another could call you right, and your response would probably be to believe you're right, and even if you agree you're deluded you will assume you're right about that.

If they say you are deluded, they believe that philosospiritual questions are objective and independent of a person's vision, which means that your questions are objective and independent of your vision; they are universal concepts that apply to everyone.

If they say you are right, they believe that these questions are subjective and agree thus with the objectivity of your dilemma and questions; they are true and thus universal concepts that apply to everyone.

If there's going to be a theory on irreconcilable individual subjectivity, how could so many people agree on it?

I think you got it both wrong & right, the two highest spiritual/philosohical questions are 'who are we?' & where do we come from?' all beings ponder this on some level, even if only very subtley.

When a being starts looking for absolute truth then the same questions will apply, so theres nothing personal about it really, maybe something personal seems like it brought them to ask such questions, like a death of a relative seems pretty personal & causes many people to seek the truth of existence, but the actuality of death itself is completely impersonal, as we ALL die, so it all seems very personal but all beings go through the same thing.

Your right in saying that there is very little objective investment when it comes to existential questions as the focus is beggining to turn away from the objects to wonder 'what is life, who am i?' & only the subject (taken to be personal) can satisfy these questions, it may feel personal as its internal, but essentially the search is universal not personal.

But the universal is discovered through diving deeper into what we casually take to be personal, so your both right & wrong.

Its a search for universal truth, so to find it there can't be a 'person' seeking it & finding it, its the universe discovered unto itself. :grin:

No. I know I can't know what reality is. Pleasure and surrender would be my most important.

well this is a Transcendence question.
We all see the same reality, however, the words and the labels that we notice or see of it differ on account of our perceptions (the language of our Operating program, The Ego, Filter) that our minds run on.
In Talking to people and taking in the validity of other ideas, we begin to expand a more pure perception of reality.
For Example:
~ a circle of Artists sitting around a Still Life
~ Each artist draws a two dimensional image of what they see of the still life, in accordance with the limit of their veiw.
~ They give all of these 2D images to a sculptor.
~ The sculptor creates a 3D representation of the original still life.

I hope this helps
Light and Blessings

How can you have a relationship with what you are?

This is True
We are All Drops in the Ocean.
However, Each Specific Water Molecule is Singular
To Dismiss/Deny either fact is Fallacy.

You are experiencing reality "directly" through your eyes (which sees everything upside-down), Processed in your brain (which flips the image) and then Labelled and categorized in your neural pathways.
So when you experience "Reality" you are experiencing the product of something that has been filtered and Categorized by your brain.
It is no longer the Raw Objective
It has become the Filtered Subjective

thoughts take on a fractal form, as is quite obvious to anybody who knows anything about their own mind.  And there's a collective one of those, as is obvious to anyone who knows anything about where ideas come from.

What evidence do you have that thoughts take on a fractal form? What evidence do you have that there is a collective one?

You shouldnt cassually dismiss valid ideas
Even If it Were absurdist, it still has a valid subcategory to fall under.
If you are dismissing these ideas, instead of understanding them, you are locking doors to the  infinite possibilities that naturally spawn from the universe.

Thoughts take on a fractal form, because thoughts branch out.
Like... where have I heard this before.. Oh yea, THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE.
If you have ever paid attention while you are researching, Learning or Thinking, you will notice that one idea branches out into 3 or four ideas (or even questions) and those branch and those branch... etc. And all the questions tend to (even if loosely) pertain to the Original idea. Like a fractal.
This Thread even (although on a linear format) is doing the same thing.

And heres more writing on the subject, if you wish to unlock the door.
If you follow the link you are going out onto a branch for example (which actually breaks the linear format)
