What? If your saying im schizophrenic, I have often thought I am :). Still, no way of knowing. Though theres nothing wrong with having your own beliefs. Everyone else is sharing theirs, I might as well to.

And I also never said anything about LG's thoughts becoming manstream..What are you talking about..?

Oh I understand now. Well no Gene for Schizophrenia has been discovered. Not everyone is Schizophrenic if thats what your saying.

Type causes of schizophrenia into a search engine :D

Why do philosophers like LG push for their thoughts to become mainstream?

well why do you push for yours to become mainstream?
How about self-indoctrination. That answer may be related to a lifetime devotion to a specific discipline that includes meditation and analysis of consciousness. The conclusions reached during such an arrangement are the result of some serious thinking. This is where the ego comes in. No room for being wishy-washy, you have to go with your convictions and be able to back them up or be made a fool of when compared to what's actually known.

There is however the (philosophical) question whether ego ever has a state of pure existence or if by definition the word "ego" is always in all time, places and circumstances synonymous with "contaminated state of being"?

Self-indoctrinated and saddled with what I'll call self-induced pseudo-schizophrenia fraught with delusion and alternate realities. Wouldn't it be something if the schizophrenic gene(s) is present in everybody and religious devoteeism is all it takes to activate it? Just threw that in there because I know LG wouldn't be happy unless I reduced religious philosophy somewhat.:D

You have it all wrong. I'm pushing for your's to never become mainstream.

Heheheh! Are you? Contaminated, that is. Judging by negative religious attitudes towards human existence then I guess we're all contaminated. But I really don't care what my state of being is to a religious philosopher, you're talking to yourself there.

Isn't He pure in your mind. Isn't He always here, there and everywhere in your mind. Isn't He timeless in your mind.

yes, it certainly runs contrary to your (philosophical) suggestion "statement from ego = statement of error" doesn't it?

Maybe its more correct to call it a suggestion awaiting a philosophical/rational explanation ....
 
The only thing I intimated about a strong ego was that once your mind is made up and your convinced then you can't be open to criticism, and no amount of reason or logic will stand in the way of your convictions. You will always be right even if you're wrong.

and atheism has the scope for objective self analysis?
:eek:

Whatever.

I feel pretty good actually. Without sounding selfish I would say my ego is finely balanced. I can seperate the real from the unreal & the probable from the improbable. I'm not living in a dream state, I deal with reality, call it the scientific state. It's a new age. Too bad you can't get there, it would be fun.

I think your trying to say I'm incapable of being subjective, something which you live by. What am I to say, that you're capably subjective? Subjectivity I find intriguing if only for finding out why I do.
