Actually, in a court of law, we ask for the testimony of witnesses all the time. So you got that wrong.

Maybe you mean that it isn't the kind of evidence that you want.

But there is evidence, my testimony.

Your thesis amounts to mere convention.

No, I do not see the harm. Lol.

Have you never been aggressed by the members of an atheist forum?

I have no reason to believe...

Why not just go with it? For conversation's sake.

Because the world is large and we are small and stranger things have happened.

What fool would trust a secondhand model so implicitly? A serious man would see for himself.

I am sperg, which is arguably an uncommon shape of attention. And I meditate. Which is all about doing certain stuff with attention (and studying it, unavoidably philosophizing about it, etc)

Which is an uncommon perspective, maybe. But surely other people study it too. (So many of us are enmeshed in it after all, and depend on their facility in it for their profession. )

And yes, it's a big deal. A very big deal. An elephant in the room.

But that isn't what I said, now is it.

 

It goes like this : Focus intensely upon your work. Make it awesome. And let everything else go to hell.

 

I mean samatha/vipassana or whatever.

I encounter things relevant to atheism sometimes when I meditate.

 

I know meditation isn't necessarily a christian thing. Maybe prayer.

I figure, buddist or christian, we're all studying the same reality. Whatever we call it or however we describe it. And in our process of investigation we will all do that same self-cultivating and deeper seeing.

I do shikantaza (zen meditation).

 

It's part of my mind, or body, or thereabouts.

It's why dreams (and supposedly the afterlife) invariably involve time, space, people etc.

Raw reality is made of vibes or poetry. A song without words. Then the translator adds the words.
