Introduce yourself here <-----

Makes sense but I think I have an anti-vertigo type mindā€¦ no matter how I am oriented I see things the sameā€¦ I am looking inoutā€¦ of course this causes problems when some one tells me to go rightā€¦ i often go leftā€¦

Er. Hi.

HI My name is Elizabeth ! Seems to be a really nice forum where one can share their beliefs and views on different matters :slight_smile: Me too I read more than I talk but I hope to find some interesting things here :slight_smile:

Abstractā€¦

I have a vertigo kind of brain in which I am sent spinning sometimesā€¦really :cry:
If youā€™re seeing things as always the same, Abtract, then is your vision really working for you? Being that you are Abstract, do what most do when they are looking at an abstract painting? Go in only one directionā€¦further and further and further back. The more distance you put between yourself and what youā€™re trying to see, the more clear and precise and in focus it becomes. Does that make any sense to you? :evilfun:

I donā€™t know that is how i meant always the sameā€¦ i mean that the earth can be above or below me either way I feel appropriately orientedā€¦ I donā€™t know that what you said made senseā€¦ I would think that I tend to look at such as a painting in many ways yet my natural perception is such to see things neither left nor right or both in recognition of relativity.

Hi Elizabeth, ignore the off topic rambling for the time being. Weā€™re happy to have you here. :slight_smile:

off topic!? ā€¦I donā€™t know what you are talking aboutā€¦ :-k

But hello Elizabethā€¦this is the best philosophy forumā€¦a lot better than those first ones that pop up on Googleā€¦ seriouslyā€¦ those are too pretentiousā€¦

This is a true free place for free minds.

Then why are you on a philosophy forum. :stuck_out_tongue:

Very true. this place doesnā€™t come up as a hit on Google for me, I had to find it by knowing someone who knew someone, who then posted.

No it isnā€™t? :wink:

Philosophy is the study of the off topicā€¦ IMO

I think it will show up on the 6th page or soā€¦ or it did onceā€¦

[-X yes it is.

However you (we) all got hereā€¦ welcome :slight_smile:

I like to think of ILP as an elite/boutique-philosophy siteā€¦ like all good clubs are these days :wink:

Yeah I think youā€™re right, saved yourself there. :slight_smile:

No it isnā€™t, I feel a Monty Python sketch coming on.

And quite Mags.

Is too, could you give an example of how it is not?

Could you give an example of how it is and if you did would it render the counterpoint wrong by doing so?

Is not.

Hi Guys,I am kenny.
I am new here.Sometimes I face some issues, so its great to have this type of forum. I hope, we will have a great time in discussions and we will gain something new.

My example is this conversation we are havingā€¦ so it is tooā€¦

Hello kennyā€¦ this is a great and open place to talk so feel free to jump into any conversation.

Is not. :wink:

Hi Kenny, I wouldnā€™t take this derail of the thread as an example of the calibre of thread here, itā€™s much worse than that.

Much worse indeedā€¦

:smiley:

Hello all, my name is Shaā€™Tara, from the Lower Mainland, B.C., Canada - the big country. I joined this forum last year, talked a bit then got too busy with retirement and other mundane things to return until now. Didnā€™t know about this intro page. Iā€™d post a picture but donā€™t have one and canā€™t see how itā€™s done in any case (paste doesnā€™t seem to work). I like the serious and Sirius (space stuff). Iā€™ve spent a lifetime working and observing people, nature, and delving mind-wise into the Cosmos looking for answers to every question my mind dreams up. Iā€™ve done religion and politics, been an environmentalist all my life and love kayaking on the Fraser River. Life has taught me that nothing is ever what I think it is and as I, of necessity change my mind about things, so does my environment change. I have opinions about everything and always looking for new ideas. My goal: to become an Avatar. Purpose: to find answers to Earthā€™s most galling social and natural problems, esp. wars, overpopulation and the predator process. I believe all things, believe IN nothing. We come, we go, sometimes we return and life goes on. I remember several past lives, my last past life in great detail and Iā€™ve seen myself a thousand years into what people call the future. I work with dreams and currently live in a dream I initiated about twenty years ago and keep returning to night after night, sometimes pushing it forward, sometimes just swept along by it. I am transgendered (not gay, les, or trans-sexual!) so my view on relationships often clashes with common beliefs on the subject. I am a mind-heart being and no longer have a soul (as people of earth call that particular implant). And thatā€™s about it.
