Reality is...

What use is that concept, in practice?


Did you cut and paste this nonsense from somewhere else, or make it up on your own?

And another thing: you know the 'f' in that equation is not force, right?


Parroting senseless nonsense is not usually regarded as a sign of genius.

James, he is clearly unhinged. I do wonder if it is good for him to be allowed to post here at all. But that is for others to decide, of course.

Thank you for your diagnosis. How much money do I owe you? I am willing to pay any amount to hear more. Before you came along I was truly delusional and psychotic. Now, I can see myself for who I am thanks to you.

As long as you show sensitivity and respect you are welcome. However, I would like a response to my reply to Yazata on the previous page so that I may engage in a more worthwhile exchange. JamesR didn't really make an effort to refute the logic behind my theories/ mental constructs of reality.
 
Alternative Candidates for the Standard Model of Metaphysics

With regards to nominal purpose the Analytic Metaphysics of Quality resembles theories such as AQAL or CTMU. I consider these theories alternative candidates for the standard model of metaphysics because their apparent purpose is to integrate large amounts of information into a unified (ie. not split-into-two like theCanonic Metaphysics of Quality) whole which may be assumed to be of such great importance that there is no need to provide scientific applications of the theory in order to assert its worth. This does not mean that there wouldn't be any practical applications, just that the attitude of the author of the theory seems to be that they are not integral to the theory. For example, socionics does not qualify as a candidate for the standard model of metaphysics because its apparent purpose is consistently reported to be that of psychological evaluation. However, no theory is better than another theory simply because it has a more ambitious aim. Indeed, it is arguably more embarrassing that a theory is ambitious but achieves little than that it's goals are moderate and it succeeds in reaching them.

The spirit of the real lives in the five chakras of the body and when balanced, as opposed to imbalanced, as is the case with the unenlightened, normal individual, it is easily discovered and located as the essence of who I am (That). Where That could be interpreted to mean Christ consciousness, Buddha Nature, Holy Spirit, the monic or the One. And it gives one the feeling of having located one's "home within oneself". It is as though one's importance is experienced for the first time in one's life and one begins to irrevocably change for the better. This spirit causes one to behold the value and importance of life and to announce it to one's fellow human being as it is the supreme reality. Separation disappears, even if only temporary, and one unites with God.

Or prana does, assuming that Hindu theories of the 'subtle body' and the chakras where it intersects with the physical body have any truth. I don't think that they do. Nor am I convinced that prana is "the spirit of the real".

and when balanced, as opposed to imbalanced, as is the case with the unenlightened, normal individual, it is easily discovered and located as the essence of who I am (That). Where That could be interpreted to mean Christ consciousness, Buddha Nature, Holy Spirit, the monic or the One.

I'm not convinced that you are correct in including 'Buddha nature' in that list. What you are saying certainly seems to contradict the Buddha's 'anatman' doctrine, though it might conceivably be more consistent with east Asian tathagatagarbha.

And it gives one the feeling of having located one's "home within oneself". It is as though one's importance is experienced for the first time in one's life and one begins to irrevocably change for the better. This spirit causes one to behold the value and importance of life and to announce it to one's fellow human being as it is the supreme reality.

Yazata,

Tathāgatagarbha is buddhadhātu (Buddha Nature), which is the life force or essence of the human individual and is located or contained within the womb or embryo gharba of the tathagata (yes I just looked this up as a reference to my personal experience today). The spirit of the Real is this life force. It is exactly what is being referred to when the Greeks' 'pneuma' is mentioned. 'Real' as I use it here is synonymous with 'Supreme'. Hence the spirit of the Real is the Supreme reality or the tathāgatagarbha .

One more thing. This comes into itself after one understands reality. And since reality is both matter and Being (a dual aspect One or monism), understanding reality in theoretical terms makes demands of the mind to feel the feeling of spirit. But this is not enough. One must actually locate it (even if only temporarily) by intuition of the chakras.
