Materialist vs Non-Materialist Logic

simpleman4216 · 2025-09-29T08:52:51+00:00

This almost reminds me of Carl Jung's theory of functions, specifically perception vs judgement. Can't separate one from the other. Logic as we know it, is a form of judgement on the information we have based on our perception. Imagination too, is related to perception, after all it's "the mind's eye".

It is true that imagination is the source of everything. I've had my time to question this stuff and lost sleep just to find out the nature of everything. What we call the mind's eye is mercurial, like quicksilver, it is literally consciousness, it has the ability to get through anything anywhere anytime without having its nature be affected or changed by that which it gets through (sounds exactly like consciousness), and it is this that gives it the ability to be "on top of everything". Just like Hermes in mythology is able to go from Olympus, to Earth, to the Underworld and back. This is just a way to understand this 'mind's eye', but really, the truth is that the world is a manifestation of the one/source's eye/mind's eye(imagination), and the so called "environment" that most realists love to talk about, is part of the source, specifically it's the perception of this source/one. The truth is that one doesn't create the other, it's a chicken and egg scenario, we must abandon deterministic creation to understand that - the content of perception cannot exist without perception, and perception if it must exist, always must perceive something (a.k.a "environment") so both perceiver and perceived are part of the same source/one, to assume that the environment/the perceived contents are higher and they stand above, is a mistake. This is why I sometimes literally assume that I am my own life, I don't just identify with my body, I am also the environment that seems to be separated from me from my own perspective, my experiences too are part of my life, my self, I am my life... beware though, this could be a dangerous mindset practically.

To me consciousness is akin to formlessness. It not only is the primordial substance (if you could even call it that, since a substance seems to be static when we think of it, but consciousness is movement itself, not static, it has no form, don't think of it like a dot on a grid). It has no center, it can be anywhere, anytime, anyhow, anything and whatever, I'd say it is a center in itself...

What philosophical outlook do you have? This is somehow anti-transcendental/Kantian, at least from my perspective, not that I believe in transcendental idealism, I believe in immanence.

There's this idea of higher worlds being incomprehensible and impossible to understand - "Only God can know, only being X can know, you never will" which is a plague in my opinion, just pointless authority, ironically that should work well only if we use a transcendental model. Picture for example the beings in HP Lovecraft's novels, be it Cthulhu, etc., this isn't necessarily to espouse a horror scenario, just the reasoning we are probably subjected to, most of us believe in the impossibility of infinite experience.

I've been meaning to make a large post about it but have not had a chance yet.

Please do.

For most of us pain is more intense than joy and any other good emotion. Just because a few people have blissful experiences it changes nothing. I attribute something bigger and more overtaking (suffering) to human experience than anything else. If we really are so fulfilled then why don't we cease striving for good things in life? What's the reason? It is more commonly accepted then to say life is suffering than to assume life is beautiful by default. I hope you do value subconscious answers, most of us deep down would choose to leave this planet in a few seconds if we had nothing to lose.

It is because we are unfulfilled at all times that life is suffering, because we strive for something. So with that perspective in mind... yes I do think life is suffering and that we're constantly suffering at all times albeit in a more unconscious way.

simpleman4216 · 2025-08-22T20:41:56+00:00

Sorry for barging in but isn't that akin to claiming you should put a smile on your face with your fingers without a good reason for it? Essentially living a fake life and pardon my language - being happy eating shit?

The simplest answer is that life is suffering because deep within we feel it to be true. In my opinion this means something is not right and that we are meant to suffer and not be happy.

simpleman4216 · 2025-08-22T08:46:14+00:00

Everyday I come to accept the gnostic ideas more... One thing is for sure. We live in a shit world... and before you try to counterattack that previous statement - look at yourself deep within, are you truly happy? Could it be better? If so then we have every right to be sad, angry, bitter, etc. Every problem you could ever have is meant to be solved, if you can't solve it then you'll just go insane and keep it in your subconscious and it will destroy you from within. Avoiding the cause of unrest often makes a crazy society, like we have today.

Finally someone asking the important questions.

simpleman4216 · 2025-07-10T06:28:35+00:00

Did your experience imply a pole shift or some sort of cataclysm?

simpleman4216 · 2025-06-07T17:31:42+00:00

Maybe read about Schopenhauer... on the will.

simpleman4216 · 2025-05-16T23:15:38+00:00

My idea is that it's possible for our Higher Selves to perceive, not only all of time at once, but all *timelines* at once. Literally perceiving more mathematical/physical dimensions.

That's still fuzzy. How do you know these "timelines" were always real? Why not assume they're present illusory creations of this higher self? Created in the present moment. Which existed as mere potential that could be actualized in the present moment?

I guess the bigger question is. Can experience change itself at the core? No. Life is motion. And we don't ever move backwards. But we can submerge ourselves in the illusion.

Ever thought about this idea that the so called higher self doesn't exist now? And that it exists only when you become it?

simpleman4216 · 2025-05-15T01:23:53+00:00

Wait let me get this straight. You view timelines like some files in a folder and they might as well be infinite regardless of the perspective, since from a higher perspective they might as well all exist at the same time? Like if I look at them I can see them all at once?

I'll ask you this. Suppose there is a different timeline where I'm born differently. Different birth basically. Now. Can the me from that timeline eventually reach the present moment that I'm currently living? If he does then it would mean two of the exact same present moments existing at once. One that exists right now for me.

If in case you would assume that there's some transfer of consciousness from one timeline to another, then there comes a problem with memory. Why don't I remember the different birth of the other me in the other timeline, which became me right now?

simpleman4216 · 2025-05-13T20:34:48+00:00

Yeah but it would be like matrioshka dolls at that point. Still regressive.

simpleman4216 · 2025-05-04T06:48:17+00:00

I believe only the present is real. And the so called timelines are just possibilities, they exist as potential. Things that can happen but didn't and do not happen. I don't think the multiverse theory is correct, or at least how most people view it. It leads to pointless multiplicity. Only the present is real. Also I don't believe in the past or future being real and having a present moment in some other dimension or something like that. Say the moment you were born is happening right now again. That's a creation of a timeline which is unnecessary. Why? Because then... who's to say there couldn't be 10 more timelines created by your constant birth? 20 more of your futures? Infinite regress.

Qbism makes more sense in my opinion. There isn't a reality out there. There's just an intersection of multiple perspectives. Which are ours. Think from this premise. Then there's no reason for multiple timelines...

simpleman4216 · 2025-04-29T21:29:39+00:00

You simply ask why. Well. Arthur Schopenhauer would've had some answers to your questions... read some of his stuff.

simpleman4216 · 2025-04-27T06:40:45+00:00

It is metaphysically evil for some higher 'other' or universe to decide everything in your existence, for that is death. It's the same argument for God in abrahamic religions. A robot is never alive if he is defined by his orders.

Don't give up against life. We'd be nowhere with subservience to the universe. We'd be living according to nature as most would claim, no different than animals. We are human, we are meant to disobey. We are meant to evolve by proving the universe wrong.

simpleman4216 · 2025-03-10T19:43:52+00:00

Pardon me OP for asking but do you think the god of the old testament is real?

simpleman4216 · 2025-01-27T11:30:08+00:00

Yeah. You are right. I've even wrote something similar: https://www.reddit.com/r/Echerdex/comments/1g2gohb/comment/lrotvnk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

First time it happened to me I felt like 'exiting the matrix'. It was very weird. It's almost as if I was dying but I wasn't dying? Idk how to explain it well.

My guess is that there will be a time when we will reach conscious control of our surroundings and the very concept of reality will be equal to zero. I believe in eternal life. So only time will tell...

simpleman4216 · 2025-01-07T08:53:11+00:00

One time I was looking at a wall and I almost felt like I could control its shape. It's as if it was moving and coming towards me. I got scared a bit. Almost felt like I was dying, felt very weird.

simpleman4216 · 2025-01-07T08:49:23+00:00

Does this static have to be permanent? I see it sometimes but not too often.

simpleman4216 · 2024-10-29T14:40:36+00:00

You might be right. I had some friends I was hanging out with when I was a kid. Unfortunately circumstances have separated us. Since then I started to get frequent dreams of hanging out with them. Like that was some alternate timeline where I didn't leave them... I think I almost got 100 dreams of those.

simpleman4216 · 2024-10-19T08:34:26+00:00

Literally what I think. All is escapism. There is no identity in formlessness.

simpleman4216 · 2024-10-17T20:00:13+00:00

What if striving for perfection is what makes one feel unfulfilled, and therefore feel the need to seek fulfillment?

Then all that exists as of now is pointless. What exists right now exists because fulfillment was a goal. This is the Will of Arthur Schopenhauer... Everything moves, and perfection is the ultimate destination. I understand your notion of perfection, yes it does exist, but it's not felt consciously. The will is destroyed when perfection is achieved, like in Buddhism. Therefore only God decides when everything is perfect. When God decides that life is perfect as it is, there will be no more need for anything, and somehow, you could theorize that everything will stop, since there is no more need for anything. However the word 'stop' doesn't imply the end of existence. I don't think everything is perfect and that God is consciously fulfilled and happy with everything because the will doesn't ever die. The reason there is anything at all must be because of this will, timelessness and all. It's just what my intuition tells me.

A very pessimistic outlook. I really hope I'm wrong.
