maya (hindu and buddhist thought)

dualism and the nature of existence: taoism to descartes
am i (1) a man dreaming that i'm a butterfly or (2) a butterfly dreaming that i'm a man? does my consciousness as a man (thought) in itself make me a man (existence)? a look at the ancients and moderns' view of duality and existence.

the platonic idea of the spoon
the cave parable has been discussed ad nauseum, but why don't you climb in this forum and see if there are other relevant issues from The Republic? philosopher kings, anyone?

there is no board (misc. posts)
sometimes insights don't fit into tidy little predetermined packages. feel free to float random thoughts, rants, and raves here.

dream theatre

mind into matter into mind
an evolving forum about the power of thought (imagination, lucid dreaming, etc.) to create reality, as well as the power of reality to create thought (prophecy, divination, etc.). in other words, a long-overdue catchall for prayer, meditation, and creative visualization, plus all sorts of fun stuff like psionics, astral projection, breatharianism, psychic vampirism, remote viewing, hypnosis, and collective suggestibility. quick--break out your ELF goggles!
