I think therefore I am false

  I think therefore i am (Cogito, ergo sum) - René Descartes... This statement is an empirical and momentary truth... The absolute truth should remain the same irrespective of any time. Rene Descartes defined the existence of self relative to the thinking process. In deep sleep we don't think, so according to Rene's point of view, we become non-existent in deep sleep, and our "self" is switching from existence and non-existence alternatively for our entire lifespan.

As Rene has defined existence relative to the thinking process, we can arrive at two conclusions. The first one is all the rocks and planets are thinking because they exist... The space also exists, so it can be said that space is able to think. In short, Rene can be said to imply that space is an omnipresent, eternal and all-knowing thinking entity, and the second one is, space does not exist because it is not able to think... The second conclusion is incorrect as we know space is the foundation of existence and is not different from our consciousness...

Three levels of Realities

-
  Philosophy:- 1) Advaita Vedanta (Non-Dual) School of Hinduism 2) Yogachara School of Mahayana Buddhism 3) Madhyamaka School of Mahayana Buddhisim [A] Three levels of reality from a Vedantist (Hinduism Philosophy) point of view: 1) Paramarthika (Paramartha, Absolute):- Perspective of absolute space. The reality that is metaphysically true and ontologically accurate. It is the state of experiencing that which is absolutely real and into which both other reality levels can be resolved. This reality is the highest, it can't be subsumed (assimilated) by any other. 2) Vyavaharika (Vyavahara) or Samvriti-Saya: Perspective of the combination of five senses(human body). Consisting of the empirical or pragmatical reality. It is ever changing over time, thus it is empirically true at a given time and context but not metaphysically true. It is "our world of experience, the phenomenal world that we handle every day when we are awake". It is the level in which both living cre...

Conversation between Theist and atheist

  A Conversation Between an Atheist and A Theist on the Evidence For Gods Existence: Theist: God exists. Atheist: Prove to me that a god exists. There is no sufficient empirical evidence for the existence of a god, so there is no necessary reason to believe in the existence of a god. Theist: What makes you think that collectively verifiable evidence for a God exists? You cannot provide collectively verifiable evidence that your thoughts are your own and not that of another subject, so not all truths are collectively verifiable; some are only verifiable to oneself. So how do you know that God is a collectively verifiable entity rather than an entity that is objectively verifiable only to oneself through direct personal experience? Atheist: To be honest, I was unaware of the distinction between collectively verifiable evidence and subjectively verifiable evidence. Theist: So why do you keep demanding collectively verifiable evidence when not all truths have collectively verifiable ev...
