Reflections On The Self Illusion From The Very Particular Perspective of Autism.

The aim Bruce Hood set himself is to demonstrate that the Self does not exist independently of the person having the experience, and it is certainly not what it seems. The emphasis on self-illusion found in Hood explains at the very least why it has been proved well impossible for autistic people to interact with others in the world. (I refer, of course, to people with classic autism. Not with a diagnosis of Asperger which I would not describe as autism.)The self illusion, he asserts, is…See More

Discourse upon the Essence and Form of God

Posted on May 21, 2011 at 1:58pm 3 Comments

My dear friends,



Perhaps you will feel the urgent need to "excommunicate" me out of this web-site; expulsion is in order you may think. But you are my dearest friend, have been with me always, for why I ought to be able to post my reflections in this Blog.



Finally my brain is strong enough to sustain the idea of God. It was the love of knowledge which inspires in me this temerity, which dazzles me today as my language advances (the transition from Spanish to English),… Continue

The town I live in delivery of food isn't an option except for pizza, or maybe safeway.com which a friend just reminded me of. In San Diego you could have anything delivered. Maybe Ning, or a derivative will get big enough that actual delivery is possible.

I think the gift think is kind of silly. Another Ning oddity.

In any event I'm glad you found the group.

Hi Claudia,

 

It's good to be friends. I appreciate that you are strong enough to sustain the idea of God. So am I, except to me the evidence points to the conclusion that God is just that, an idea. Of course we can all come to different conclusions based on the same evidence, don't worry, I will never excommunicate you just because your conclusions are different from mine.

Hi Claudia,

I enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for the add.
