Salyavin, Now everyone here would like to know if you are enlightened currently or is it possible to regress once the apex of human life has been attained? I can't say that I'm currently enlightened, I've got AC/DC pounding in the headphones and I'm off down the pub in a minute, so I'm guessing I won't be appearing on BATGAP any time soon. But I've been there, quite nice I suppose if you like that sort of thing. Not worth giving up a career for at the end of the day but you don't know at the time, especially with the brochures they hand out. Still, I'd rather know than not know if you see what I mean... ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Enlightenment is nothing.

Knowing a Divine Being is the stage of believing in which the mind is convinced of Its existence through the information from the senses. Enlightenment occurs when the mind and It are one and coexist in the body as it lives in the world. Convinced is a worrying word for me in this instance, labeling experiences as some sort of "other" is making unwarranted assumptions. I could call it all-round superniceness and it would be the same thing, it's us who call it divine and thus dump our needy baggage all over it. An artificial machine cannot experience the Divine as the human body can. Therefore, it cannot believe nor experience enlightenment. How do you know? If we build a machine that mimics ourselves perfectly, who are we to say that it can't have joyous experiences. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote : Hi salyavin, it's neither knowing nor believing. It's experiencing and then interpreting or labeling. I bet "believing" happens in its very own section of the brain.

Knowing God requires a biological base, with a complicated connections of nerve cells in the brain and a body structure made of bones, flesh and blood. "Know" god? Don't we mean "believe"? I'm sure a computer could acquire beliefs about where it came from, probably worship it's creator, at least they won't be in error about who that is! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emptybill@...> wrote : This article is full of inaccurate generalities about Buddhism and shows ignorance about the foundations of the varied darshana-s of the Indian subcontinent. Since most current Euro-American "thinkers" who consider consciousness and AI are philosophical amateurs, this article is a display of truncated post-empirical/analytic musings. How about this question instead? Can an artificial intelligence know God? This is an equivalent counter-question, which means it is a panapoly of foolish assumptions posing as intelligent inquiry.
