    Thank you, Mr. Russell and Mr. Spinoza and Mr. Uploader

    I think this guy was damn near spot on :) after studying religion in great depth, I was working on a theory, and it was much like Spinoza's but not as complete.

  • @mistery4437
    All admirers of Spinoza should read the 8th century Indian philosopher Shankaracharya and his Advaita Vedanta.

    Spinoza dances with Advaita Vedanta and Zen Buddhism ...
  • @rgaleny
    Parmenedies' Fatalism and Pantheistic animism, vs Heraclitus' Change, flux and becoming. Spinoza is with Parmenedes.

    Spinoza did not reject metaphysics. Neither did Schopenhauer. Hume in one passage did entirely reject metaphysics but then he did not.

    If people can understand his theory world is more peaceful.
  • A is dual to that which is not A! Positive is dual to negative. Knowledge is dual:- Deductive knowledge is dual to inductive knowledge -- Immanuel Kant. Thesis is dual to anti-thesis -- the generalized Hegelian dialectic.
  • Mind is dual to matter -- Descartes. Thesis is dual to anti-thesis -- the time independent Hegelian dialectic. Mind (thesis) is dual to matter (anti-thesis) creates or synthesizes God! God (non-duality) is created from duality!
