Hi everyone,

This topic reminded me of a passage in the Chandogyopanishad (VI. 2. 1 & 2). Check it out. This sage called Uddalaka is instructing a student called Svetaketu on the nature of existence...

"In the beginning, O son, there was mere Existence, one alone without a second. Regarding this some other say, 'at first there was mere non-existence, one alone without a second. From that non-esistence proceeds existence.' But verily, O son, how can this be? How can existence come from non-existence? Hence, O son, there was existence only in the beginning, one alone without a second."

Does anyone here besides me think that the answer to this question lies not in philosophical speculation, but is rather an observation discovered by those who turn their gaze inward?

APPLAUSE ! ! !
There are MANY things which cannot be proven empirically, but must be derived from logic alone.

Alas, there are those who believe I arrived at my Theory of Reciprocity by turning my gaze inward . . . actually by inserting my cranium between my glutei.

Please re-think that one.
1) You can exist without thinking.
2) You can't think unless you exist.
Unfortunately there are a lot of #1's out there in scienceland
