These legacy genes are responsible for turning off our evolved heritage. Louis University), I believe this sensory perception is somehow tied in to how it reacts with the ncRNA. However, after considering the research of Wes Warren (St. I used to believe it relied upon simple sensory perception. I wouldn’t label that as actually thinking about it. A phenomenon is upon you, either theoretical or observable. Is “I” being? and therefore a rock is “I” to the rock? Or is ALL reality “being” and therefore the “I” we experience is reality itself? our physical bodies? our minds? What is ju guys are describing is what I call Pure Experiential Awareness. (And of course we have to describe the terms before we can understand the statement and evaluate its validity in the first place, right?) But do we clump it all together into one non-dual “I” which is everything, or are we still individual egos within Descartes is just the starting point in the question evolving towards figuring out what “I” is… as others have said, saying “I” implies existence already even without thought. In this sense, I guess, everything is being. Instead of the models of reality in our heads, we experience ‘being’ reality itself, which is the only truth. Objective/Subjective is an important I think Being” is where the subjective meets the objective. If you don’t have a concept of something, it dosen’t exist in your particular subjective experience of reality. If you are speaking subjectively though, you are right. Ignorance=not knowing (aka: having a concept of) something. Your writing implies that you think things only exist OBJECTIVELY because you have a concept of them, and if you don’t have knowledge of them, they don’t exist… that is solipsism. I was responding to your attitude that “Reality itself is a state of mind.” Standing before a whole new world, unfolding before I don’t think you understand what I meant by “ignorance”, as your response was more of a reflexive insult than an argument. That being all that is needed to get by.īut then we think, and there we are. We are just part of the biological process of life. Because we perceive ourselves as objects within that world. The physical world that we live in, is only seen as physical.
That weather we know of its existence or not. I think some of you are seeing our knowledge of existence as a material form. But, our ability to think enables us to have reason for existence.ĭoes your dog (or cat) function because it knows physics? Does logic have anything to do with their living in the now. “To imply that our only reason for existing is our ability to think is ridiculous IMO.” Don’t let you own insecurity get the best of you.Īny thought of reason is a “I think therefore I am” perspective. “It’s solipsistic to assume that because you are ignorant of something, it doesn’t exist.” Otherwise we just exist, without a reference to it. How does a human being deeming something “significant” effect its existence?”īecause our existence, is only significant knowing we existent. Stilling the mind is the essence of all meditative practice, and through the stillness of mind we access the truth of being. Thinking is but a mere cognitive function and cannot touch the truth of beingness. It is the ‘isness’ that defies catagorizing.ĭescartes saying is the quip that began it all…the divisionary split between science and spirit. To imply that our only reason for existing is our ability to think is rediculous IMO.įeeling our beingness comes closer to the truth, even so, feeling still does not convey the essence of the ‘I am.’īeingness goes beyond thought and feeling. This implies he had the cognitive ability to express complex emotion through words and to apply them in regards to the emotive situation. Upon being left at the vets by his owner he exclaimed ” I love you, don’t go!” Alex, the infamous African grey parrot was proven to use the right words for the right co-corresponding emotional response. Their thinking may be somewhat less complex than ours, but, even this is not always true.
It just is.Īnimals think and feel as well. Our ‘being’ has nothing to do with thinking or feeling.
