philosophical question

[BrainEater]

so if you wanted to ask the question that cannot be answered about ALL THAT IS, would you need to actually know ALL THAT IS or would you need to distinguish between all that is and ALL THAT IS THERE in a way that would basically be impossible to do, as the question is said to be "the question that cannot be answered"? i mean there's ALL THAT IS and then there is ALL THAT IS THERE basically connected thru ALL THERE IS. so the obvious (?) underlying connection of ALL THAT IS would be the only thing that could bring answers of ALL THAT IS about ALL THAT IS THERE or just THERE whereever that might be?? or not??? i don't know.... sorry for bothering you with nonsense like that but i am bored and maybe a bit crazy hmmm


peace :weedman:

how about all that is not :?:

 

[BrainEater]

well... ALL THAT IS NOT is definately not. and that means that it just IS NOT. and that means that it either has been sometime in the past or that it will be sometime in the future or that it never was and never will be which means that it just NOT IS.


you'd be like a dog or mouse (?) or whatever chasing your own tail asking the possibly unanswerable question of ALL THAT IS NOT!! i mean what question would you want to ask that would be of interest to you of ALL THAT IS NOT??? and how could ALL THAT IS NOT answer you or somebody know anything about that what is not??

peace :weedman:

I'd imagine if we were talking about ALL THAT THERE IS, it would be something where you would just reach a place where you would know the answer without any questions. Almost like being fully linked into all existence. Just a thought.

 

[BrainEater]

well maybe YOU are already linked to all existence who knows??? and maybe me too??? i don't know lol

but well maybe what you say means that there either needs to be no question for there being an answer or that the question leads us to the conclusion of why we had asked the question and therefore wouldn't need to ask the question anymore..

In Zen Buddhism they use unanswerable question to confuse the students and lead them to enlightenment. The sound of one hand clapping, may be the most famous.
