      A creation

      I'm just looking for some input on this quote:

      "Insanity created existence but existence never created the thought, It must be said that the thinker created the thought." - The Thinker

      What does it mean to you?

      How can insanity or existence create antyhing? They are intangible concepts.

      And yet there is more.....

      The thinker is outside of existance

      Therefore so the thought is also outside


      Insanity is a product of perception, or mis-perception

      Thinking onself inside existance...

      And I thought I was to baked for anyone to understand such a statement. I'm glad I'm not crazy... and actually make some sort of sense every once and a while!

      Thank you NonDualistic!

      Caprisun, having insanity be intangible does not rule it out as a creator of something. Consider Intention, an intangible thing but it can trigger a tangible thing such as the molecules inside the brain. Thus we know that intangible can push a tangible thing.

      This world is crazier than you had thought Caprisun

      Or maybe in a different mode of existence? As outside of existance seems to have no form, no shape, no nature, it is nothing.

      Also, this topic goes very well with this game of life. Though it is called that, it should be taken very seriously because of the benefits and... well you will see once you are in it.

      The intangible thing isn't responsible for creation, the tangible thing is. Thus we know intangible concepts can't interact with tangible reality. A thought in your head is real and tangible in the form of electical impulse which causes your body to move. Insanity itself is nothing but a concept and it can't create anything. It doesn't technically exist.
