    *sigh*

    i just put that because it's a commonly used phrase. more like "scientific proof of the continuation of life beyond the physical life", but that's a bit long, don't you think?

    This isn't really a sould though is.

    I mean, after we die our bodies are left lying around. But that doesn't mean that we are really continuing to exist.

    When you die, you will become omniscient and thus reality will appear to have been an illusion.

    But, since it only appears to have been an Illusion, when in
    fact reality has some basis in fact*, then the Omniscience gained is flawed,
    having misled you into a false perception.



    *Since you died, then you MUST not have been dead before that event,
    So, you must have been Somewhere, and if you were somewhere
    then it must have existed. If it Existed, then it was real. If it was real, then it existed in reality.

    You are correct. You didn't say either of those statements. I did.



    You said, which I definetely quoted in my previous post, the Following:

    I was commenting on how

    : when you say that omnisciensce makes reality appear an illusion,
    : then I say it can't be omnisciensce, since it returned a perception
    that is incorrect and false.

    Omniscience is not a perception. Perception is for the weak, those who are bound to belief and constrained to obedience. Omniscience is the lack of all these properties, the ultimate abandonment of the inferior ideologies. Omniscience is the ability to comprehend everything, if X is omniscient there is no Y that X doesn't comprehend. This is only achieved when X defines Y, therefore reality will appear to be an illusion of Y.

    And yet, YOU said:

    You are the one who claimed that Omniscience will lead to altered appearances, and Appearances are perceived thru perception. Thus, you directly imply Omniscience:
    A) USES perception to perceive the appearance of things.
    B) alters perception in such a way as to imply that something, which WAS real,
    Now appears illusionary. Thus, Omiscience has returned a false impression
    of reality.

    Appearances are perceived thru perception
    Not when omniscient. The been appearance of believed reality will be replaced by the appearance of been illusion of Y and this is the act of giving up perception, not the act of altering perception.
    Now appears illusionary
    I did not say this either. Becoming omniscient, appearance will loose its meaning as well.

    If a being has no perception, then Nothing can Appear as Anything to the being. The ability to perceive what something Appears to be can only be done thru Perception, no more, no less.

    Therefore, Your Omniscient Dead guy, Without Perception, with a false Non Perceived perception that Reality appears to be an Illusion.....,
    Hmmm, I just feel sorry for him.

    I did not imply anything such. If "appear" is a term that implies perception, then fine, replace "reality will appear to have been an illusion" with "reality will disappear since it has been an illusion", if that makes any more sense to you. If not, then I'd be happy to recieve more comments from you, I appreciate help with English terminology.

    Alrighty, then!

    I'm pretty much suspicious of how anything "Appears". There is
    a saying, about how "Appearances are deceiving", so if something
    appears to be one way, in truth it could be a deception. Thats why I was obljecting so much about it's use in your "Omiscient" quote, because By Definition, an Omniscient being cannot be deceived, so he can't be viewing an appearance, since an appearance is not necessarily true.

    Anyways, Good!
    So we'll agree that you've officially changed your "Omniscient" statement to:

    Illusion is perception without reality, not reality without perception.
    I wouldn't define illusion as perception without reality. Illusion is when your perception distorts reality (or merely misinterprets it).

    How can illusion exist without reality? I don't think it can. Illusion is when reality leads you to think one way and then presents us with something different but appears like it is the same.
    Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.
