The One and Only... is probably a spambot

Kahl, I'm not denying causuality anymore than I'm denying the self. I'm just not assuming it to begin with. This is my break with Kant. There is quite a large amount of evidence for causuality, given the meaning I grant it, in experience itself, but one does not need to infer it for perceptions to take place.

Simply because I began experiencing with assumptions of causuality and the self does not mean that they are necessary to perpetuate experience.

If we are not the tabula rasa, we must become the tabula rasa in seeking truth.

You say that the starting point for philosophy lies in the universe. However, "the universe," as I suspect you are using the term, is merely an assumption. Everything that exists could be an extension of my subjective will, for all that I know.

I am thoroughly aware that I cannot provide evidence as to my experience. However, my hope is that some of you will be able to see how this relates to yourselves. If you remove your assumptions as well, you might find yourself reaching similar conclusions.
