Apart from the obvious the reality is undefinable, and yes I do remember that spiritual stuff it's on par with positivism an all other odiocy that seems to be still lingering even today, it all comes from the mind, just in different names. Every mind will have a point of view, since everybody's mind represent a point in space time. So you are better off dropping the whole idea and stick to fact, and please don't ask what are the fact. it's not doing much for your intellectual stance.

But my dear I am authentic..... and so do not need you approval or disapproval or opinion in any way.
So far you have argued nothing and have gotten yourself lost in philosophy and mind fucking. Just what is your point??
Where are you?
What time is it??

It comes in due season - knowledge perceived will always be in proportion to the mind or technology that conceive it.

While I commend your convictions elle preaching is not permitted on this forum. Perhaps you would like to word your posts in a manner that indicates HOW you view the world since you nor any one else is the sole possessor of a truth let alone THE TRUTH?
I have no views, views are basically attitudes, I have no attitude towards life I simple accept what is. Views are pictures painted with, sometimes bueatiful colour. They are consoling just like God is to the believer and since they can only be personal they serve only to keep you from the truth. I simply reflect the reality and nothing more.
My dear...there is ONLY NOW, that is why is it called The Present, a gift if you like poetic floridae.
I have no ego...lost it decades ago my dear little one.
What time is it??
Where are you??
Lost your ego? mmm! Don't mean to be insulting but maybe you should invest in a dictionary.

Authenticity is originality, you are far from original. Mind can never be original since it is always old. Mind is always old and the truth is always new, always remember this, it will help you to graduate from it.

I'm impressed, this has to be one of the best non answers I've ever seen.
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Mind is always old and the truth is always new, always remember this, it will help you to graduate from the mind. And you are right I have argued nothing, since there is nothing to argue, I was merely responding to mind42 insecurities, obviously this rumbled a few egos. And I make no apology here, if the truth hurts it is not my problem. Indeed this is what maturity is all about, growing up. You will be surprised to know that not many have, everybody grows old but not up. Hence the reason why a lot of people fall into the trap of belief. This whole idea of atheism and theism is simply nonsense. The question can never be answered. But you all insist on row down stream in the same boat arguing the toss. This is your intellectualism, it has it's uses but one needs to know when to put it down.
