  • The causa sui and the big bang
    Define something that doesn't exist? Doing so would only create more confusion.

    Only something exists, and it is eternal and omnipresent and unchanging. If a vacuum was truly nothing you would not even be able to see or detect it in any way. Zero is a relative term, and those only exist in the mind for pragmatic purposes.

    Vaccum is a term used in science for pragmatic purposes. We are talking metaphysics here not science. Same way mathematicians play with the term zero, even though it only exists in the mind.

    "The highest truth is paradoxical" -Lao Tzu (or as you might call it 'muddle')

    But don't worry, you dont need words to know yourself. You can use omniscience, which is intrinsic to your nature. Trying to use words to find yourself will only result in spinning in circles of illusion in the mind. Because you never left yourself.
  • The causa sui and the big bang
    1- there is no such thing as a 'possibility' in reality. In reality everything exists absolutely.
    2-Another word for consciousness can be awareness. Perhaps that will help. Qualia is color, sound, smell, taste, feeling.
  • The causa sui and the big bang
    1- If a 'vacuum' truly was empty then it would be nothingness and not exist. Therefore you are talking about nothing, and using a word that only exists in your mind

    2- It's not my job to look things up that you assume are problems for me. haha. Present the problem yourself in your own words an i will address it.
  • The causa sui and the big bang
    1- If something comes out of a "vacuum" then that vacuum is not really empty metaphysically. So basically your falling for an illusion.
    2- Present what you think solipsism is, and its flaw, and i will address it. I do not seek to avoid anything, but only to dispel illusions and point to the actual reality.
  • The causa sui and the big bang
    1- To create a wholly new metaphysical substance something would have to come out of nothing, which is impossible. Otherwise you are simply remixing a substance that was already there in the first place.
    2-Consciousness and Qualia are both properties of existence/reality/god/substance. The ultimate and ineffable reality which surrounds and engulfs you, that is you, that you are, here now.
    3-All true knowledge ultimately comes from omniscience. You have it too. If you say one plus one equals two you are speaking out of omniscience. When it comes to metaphysics belief is not needed. You do not need belief to know yourself. Anything that requires belief is therefore not you, and therefore doesn't exist metaphysically.
  • The causa sui and the big bang
    What I say is based in omniscience, not opinion.

    1- We are talking about two different kinds of creation. I'm talking about creating a new substance, a new thing into reality (metaphysics). Which is impossible. You are talking about remixing a pre-existing substance into a new form and calling it creation. Which is possible.

    2- Consciousness and qualia are two different descriptions/properties of the same thing. Don't let words confuse you into thinking they are different metaphysically.

    Words going into the mind turn into illusions and misunderstandings
  • The causa sui and the big bang
    Proper reason, or proper meditation(seeing reality as it actually is), both lead to the identical conclusion, proving each other, and absolutely+omnisciently refuting everything else as an illusion.
  • The causa sui and the big bang
    No thing can create anything, because something can't come from nothing. True creation of any kind is impossible because at its heart is the claim that something came from nothing, which is magical thinking. Therefore whatever exists must exist eternally. Matter cannot create spirit and spirit cannot create matter, but also matter cannot create more matter and spirit cannot create more spirit. Because any of those options is claiming something came from nothing.

    We only have evidence for qualia and consciousness therefore they must both be the same substance, and be eternal. Neither can increase or decrease itself, or fundamentally change itself. Death is impossible.

    Even memory cannot prove change because even memory is just more qualia NOW. So the "past" only proves the present. Absolute truth can only be found right now. Going into the mind for answers will just create more and more philosophy. An infinite regression of illusion.

    Sciences big bang idea, and religions god idea, are both logically flawed and therefore false.

    Everything has a good and bad side. So you have to flesh out the points on both sides then compare them to each other and to the situation, to decide what's best. And the whole thing, like everything else, will be subject to point of view.

    Kids are weak, stupid, and ignorant so they need rules. But anytime you create rules you simultaneously create rule makers and rule enforcers, which creates a new problem. Kids are the single most abused demographic in society. Abused by the very people that are supposed to be protecting them. But if we remove the rules they will just become self abused by their own stupidity and ignorance.

    Some parents choose to discipline more, some less. Both have a good and bad side. Same goes for the government choosing to create more laws or less.

    Can something come from nothing? Logically speaking no...

    Can the universe create itself from nothing? no.
    Can a God create a universe from nothing? no.

    Can consciousness create itself from nothing? no.
    Can the brain create consciousness from nothing? no.

    Can consciousness ever be certain anything beyond itself (e.g. brain or universe) even exists? no.
    Does consciousness have any real evidence for anything other then qualia, which is itself. no.

    End result: Consciousness concludes itself to be the eternal spiritual creator of everything within/of itself, which is all that exists. I am God.
