If spirituality is used as a tool to avoid and escape than it can

become an addiction and seen as ugly...

There is no entity separate from its beliefs.

then the " cover up " is already in place

before the attempt has begun!

 

if the " I " is required for the attempt

" I am " , then " I am " is required for

the attempt " I am "

 

but there can be " am " with no " I "

 

and in such pure beingness as " am " ...

 

no cover-up

 

this is because pure " am-ness " has no need...

 

it simply is

Sure. And so can all kinds of things. Seeing things as ugly can also

become an addiction. ;-)

There doesn't have to be an entity doing it, in order for an attempt

to escape to occur, or for addiction to occur.

 

The intellectual idea that there is no entity to do anything doesn't

really amount to very much, and can itself be addictive.

The 'entity' is nothing other then the attempt to escape.

addiction pattern can be seen as simply programming...

postulation of an " entity " that is so programmed is

superfluous.

 

just patterns in brain chemicals and wiring...

 

that the programming is there and is continually going on

cannot be doubted.

 

that there is an entity so programmed is a superposition

that is arbitrary... and unnecessary

 

Occam's Razor slices it off

The brain centers that register appreciation and awe can atrophy from

disuse if all energy is diverted into cynicism.

 

The brain works best with an integrated balance of all centers, so

some cynicism in the right context can be useful.

 

Balance the centers ... centerlessly ... ;-)

You make definitive statements about what is so -- but they are

inconsistent with each other.

 

You've said there is no entity, but you say above the entity is its

belief, and you say now the entity is the attempt to escape.

 

If there is no entity, then there is no entity which is its belief,

nor an entity which is the attempt to escape.

 

So, a conversation about this topic won't go anywhere, because

contradictory assertions will be offered, as if there is a logical

connection, which isn't there.

 

Which is fine.

 

Let's just acknowledge upfront we're not establishing anything

whatsoever by speaking with each other, and we can make definitive

statements, and then make contradictory definitive statements, and

go back and forth as if something is being said -- no problem ;-)

Your responses get circular, it seemeth to moi.

 

If you've already said there is no entity, but you've said that the

entity is the activity of escape, then I suppose one logical-sounding

response that fits with your ideas would be ...

 

the " entity " is the addiction to the activity of escape which is the

entity, which doesn't exist.

 

 

;-)
