Ben, you may be guilty of argumentum untilurblueintheface, but no one has told Rik more plainly what he needs to hear. If only he could separate out his personal fantasy life from the marketplace of interpersonal ideas. Or better yet, write a comic book. Then he could share his ideas in a setting that didn't just beg for evidence.

The problem with you however is that you wait, wait and wait for ever to find out whether there is something or not above the mind and in this way you will never get any evidence.
In this way the mind drag itself in the most dry of the desert.
I guess it is very difficult to find much evidence that normal life exist when you drag yourself in the middle of the desert.

Well thank you very much for your concern. But you really have the wrong guy. I don't wait for evidence to believe what can't be justified. Most of my beliefs about who I am, how I work and how to live a life are based primarily on irrationally held beliefs. I just don't take those important beliefs from a book or from a teacher. Rather, I grock them directly through experience and reflection on that experience. I too rely quite a bit on intuition, even though I find the idea of a science based on intuition pretty funny.

So try not to worry too much about me, okay. I'm fine. I see no desert around me, quite the opposite. I like this life very much and it makes sense to me. I wonder if you assume your subjective conclusions are the only correct ones. While I prefer my own I don't claim them as objective truths and would never be so rude as to suggest anyone put aside their own directly felt beliefs for my own. Why do you?
