I am philosophical Christ; crucified on the cross of ignorance for the sake of divine vanity.
  • I am convinced that an electronic machine, no matter how smart and intelligent, being still a mere spatial structure in concept, can neither innovate nor even understand the axiom: ‘No spatial structure can be a representation of any feeling’. Such innovation can only be a work of a non-spatial mind, like a human being, and only such innovation, it should be acknowledged, can pave the way for further scientific achievements.
  • In attempting to speculate the outcome of the possible race for supremacy between natural and artificial intelligence it makes sense to consider that there are basically two sorts of machines - spatial machines and non-spatial machines. The universe is physically a non-spatial machine. The artificial machines, like electronic computers, manifesting artificial intelligence are conceptually spatial machines, physically existing in non-spatial form. A human brain, manifesting natural intelligence, has both conceptually spatial as well as non-spatial components. Now, to be the real master of the game of life is to be able to manipulate the physically non-spatial universe with one’s conceptually non-spatial intelligence, where the non-spatial human brain stands some chance and the spatial artificial electronic brain does not stand any.
  • Celestial bodies are like palm lines. They have mere information about your destiny; not any cause.
  • The worst of all superstitions may be that astrology is a superstition.
There is only one real computer – the universe – whose hardware is made up of non-spatial states of consciousness and software is made up of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thoughts.
  • They often say, “What’s the point in astrology if you can’t change your destiny?”. Well, it’s true that you can’t change your destiny, but still it helps knowing about gravity.
  • Theists and atheists are equally religious.
  • The last thing I can believe is the illusion of consciousness.
  • Moral certainty is intellectual immorality.
  • Certainty is the most vivid condition of ignorance and the most necessary condition for knowledge.
I am born to answer the ultimate question, the question about the nature of the ultimate questioner’s existence.
  • I am philosophical Christ; crucified on the cross of ignorance for the sake of divine vanity.
  • Christianity would be helpless without the idea of freewill and the idea of freewill would be helpless without incongruity.
  • There is only one real computer – the universe – whose hardware is made up of non-spatial states of consciousness and software is made up of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thoughts.
  • I’m more interested in the computer on the universe than the computer on my desk.
  • Life is too meaningful to die.
  • Man is truly born the time he dies.
The existence of God is not logically necessary, and yet, on the basis of some profound peculiar empirical order in the universe, it seems that He exists as the ultimate uncreated Being, implying a paradox, as no logically unnecessary entity can be uncreated. This paradox is the ultimate question asked by God, who is nothing but the ultimate questioner.
  • The real doubt is the doubt that doubts that it doubts.
  • If knowledge is my God, doubt would be my religion.
  • God is the only evil. His vanity made him the devil.
  • God would be the strangest thing to exist.
  • God exists beyond the ultimate paradox.
  • God speaks to Man through his destiny.
  • Man is an appearance; God is a reality.
  • God’s greatest thirst and his greatest sin is his ultimate vanity.
God is a philosophical black hole – the point where reason breaks down.
  • I am born to answer the ultimate question, the question about the nature of the ultimate questioner’s existence.
  • The existence of God is not logically necessary, and yet, on the basis of some profound peculiar empirical order in the universe, it seems that He exists as the ultimate uncreated Being, implying a paradox, as no logically unnecessary entity can be uncreated. This paradox is the ultimate question asked by God, who is nothing but the ultimate questioner.
  • God is a philosophical black hole – the point where reason breaks down.
  • Whenever God looks devilish, I see the philosopher fail.
  • God is a philosophical terrorist – asking a seemingly unanswerable philosophical question to quench his ultimate vanity.
  • God may not be omnipotent, but he is omniactive.
  • God is the ultimate philosophical questioner, the one who asks the logically paradoxical ultimate philosophical question about the nature of his own existence.
  • If God were to exist for the entire humanity, he would be profoundly vile, as he allows the existence of unfathomable sin, stupidity, madness, and misery for no reason than his own despicable enjoyment. God exists though, not for all humanity, but for a one chosen man – a philosopher – who is bound to answer the greatest philosophical question, the question about the nature of the questioner’s existence, which progressively quenches the divine vanity.
God created the world to be praised on the subtle nature of his existence.
  • God is a paradoxical animal – the animal awaiting the resolution of the paradox.
  • The definition of God is ‘uncreated material being’.
  • God created the world to be praised on the subtle nature of his existence.
  • God created Man to play the game of hide-and-seek.
  • The most conspicuous thing in the world is the existence of consciousness and the least conspicuous thing is the existence of God.
  • God wears the clothes of the ultimate paradox.
  • Resolve the paradox and God is naked.
It is impossible to imagine existence void of any intelligence.
  • God is like a woman who wants her clothes to be taken off slowly, one by one, so as to receive the best appreciation for her beauty.
  • God invented truth, and made Man discover it.
  • Evil is more fundamental than good.
  • Most of the history is a divine work of fiction.
  • Humanity is the crime; God is the criminal.
  • It is impossible to imagine existence void of any intelligence.
  • The final discovery is the discovery of knowledge.
  • The language of God is Man’s consciousness.
The more I find life to be a great design, the more I suspect it to be singular in existence; the more I suspect it to be singular, the more I feel it to be specific and personal; the more I feel it to be personal, the more I think of it to be a mere question; And the more I think of it to be a question, the less I understand the questioner.
  • The more I find life to be a great design, the more I suspect it to be singular in existence; the more I suspect it to be singular, the more I feel it to be specific and personal; the more I feel it to be personal, the more I think of it to be a mere question; And the more I think of it to be a question, the less I understand the questioner.
  • My existence is such that ‘I’ do not really exist. At the end of understanding so much I understand that I know nothing. I suffer for being surrounded by intense suffering and yet I’m deeply suspicious if first of all there is indeed any consciousness except me. I strive to find the artist who may have fathered this great universal art but feel myself to be too feeble to accomplish this seemingly unattainable mission. Yet I have every respect for life, and it is this sheer respect that makes me live.
Life is a question asked by God about the way he exists.
  • The meaning of life is ‘the ultimate questioner’s vanity’.
  • Life is a question asked by God about the way he exists.
  • Man is programmed to find the programmer.
  • Man is a philosophical answering machine designed by the ultimate philosophical questioner to quench its – the ultimate philosophical questioner’s – ultimate vanity.
  • The will of man is the will of God.
  • The reason for human existence is the ultimate philosophical questioner’s vanity.
  • God created only one man, and that man is me.
  • Man is an abstraction of a chain of conceptually related non-spatial states of consciousness.
Man is programmed to find the programmer.
  • Pure mathematics is a system of 100% precise and 99.99…% necessary propositions. (The term precise means that every term in a proposition is absolutely clarified, and every non-axiomatic proposition is supported on the basis of axiomatic one/s, leaving no doubt, except the 0.00…1% universal doubt, the principle that ‘anything may be possible’.)
  • Applied mathematics is a system of propositions constructed by applying some or up to all of the pure mathematical propositions to explain and/or predict unnecessary phenomena. In other words, applied mathematics is a system of 100% precise and 99.99…% unnecessary propositions.
  • Matter is non-spatial feeling/s and Energy is the inherent capacity of the universe to make matter exist.
  • Consciousness is non-spatial matter, and all spatial matter is a mere projection of it.
The world is a contradiction; the universe a paradox.
  • What can be greater to life than to understand its meaning.
  • Meditation should be the foremost technology of the 21st century; the technology of reprogramming the non-spatial universal computer.
  • In the world of unfathomable misery, I'm lucky to have a chance to be a solipsist.
  • Necessity is the ethnicity of truth.
  • The world is a contradiction; the universe a paradox.
  • Past is stranger than future.
Man’s greatest battle is being a true philosopher.
  • Man’s greatest battle is being a true philosopher.
  • The man that exists is essentially a philosopher.
  • Philosophy was born in heaven; philosopher in filth.
The failure of the past philosophers is largely the failure to see the self-evident.
  • The failure of the past philosophers is largely the failure to see the self-evident.
  • The greatest art is philosophy.
  • The word philosophy, as distinguished from science, is misleading, for it implies that what philosophy contains is impossible to be a systematic body of knowledge and what science contains is certain or proved.
  • Philosophy is the only excuse God has for his cruelty and vanity.
  • My ultimate philosophy is that the world exists for the sake of its creator’s ultimate vanity to be quenched by the ultimate philosopher by means of the ultimate philosophy.
The physics of the 21st century shall deal essentially with non-spatial matter and non-spatial mechanics.
  • The physics of the 21st century shall deal essentially with non-spatial matter and non-spatial mechanics.
  • The last physics shall be the physics about God, and it would be beyond logic and human reason. It is where science and spiritualism shall meet in one.
In the midst of excitement, grief, joy, and solitude, I remind myself every moment that the sole mission of my life is to find "the ultimate questioner" – that unimaginable who has put me in this madness to answer an unanswerable question.
  • The world is a philosophical prison and Man is a philosophical prisoner.
  • In the midst of excitement, grief, joy, and solitude, I remind myself every moment that the sole mission of my life is to find "the ultimate questioner" - that unimaginable who has put me in this madness to answer an unanswerable question.
  • The Schrödinger’s cat was born dead.
  • The question is how the questioner exists.
  • Reality is not an illusion; reality is real. The fact is that what science believes to be real is an illusion, and vice versa.
  • Reality is reason’s workshop.
  • Knowledge makes man a reductionist.
The most fundamental tragedy of my life is that the ones who I see do not exist and the one who exists I do not see.
  • What ‘rebirth’ could mean is a possible existence of (non-spatial) states of consciousness, after death, representing (ideally) the same, or (roughly) similar kinds of experiences as being represented in this particular life to which death would be a particular end. It is important to learn that here the concept of soul is not involved and thus the idea of rebirth, loosing its fundamental significance, becomes, in theory, a mere virtual or pseudo phenomenon.
  • Every noble action is selfish. Some selfish actions are nobler than others. But they are all selfish. And as such there can be no action purely noble anyway. Even the nobility in God's great philosophical intentions is bounded by his vanity.
  • A fundamental condition of being is slavery. Man is the slave of God and God that of his vanity.
  • How miserable a solipsist is! It is rather senseless for him to even assert his belief in solipsism, for, on the one hand, if his belief is false it is like committing intellectual suicide, and, on the other hand, if his belief is true it is an act of intellectual insanity.
  • The world is occupied by only two people; me and God.
Truth may have been found but might never be known.
  • Space is a virtual reality.
  • Space is really non-spatial.
  • Atheism is an uncommon sense. But theism is a common as well as an uncommon sense.
  • It is human to search for the theory of everything and it is superhuman to find it.
  • If the universe is a non-spatial computer, a ‘time machine’ is a program that allows a user to have the same (ontologically non-spatial) feelings or experiences that occurred or s/he merely feels to have occurred in the past, with an in-built function to have different feelings or experiences than those of the past, and thus creating a possibility to change the past or to rewrite history in a pseudo sense.
  • The most fundamental tragedy of my life is that the ones who I see do not exist and the one who exists I do not see.
  • Truth may have been found but might never be known.
  • Truth is an orphan without matter and matter is impotent without truth.
In reality the universe has no geometry.
  • In reality the universe has no geometry.
  • At the heart of my metaphysic there is the ultimate question and at the heart of the universe there is the ultimate questioner.
  • The universe is a gigantic non-spatial computer.
  • I believe I have understood the most basic principle of knowledge. I believe I have uncovered the true nature of material reality. I believe I have demystified the phenomena that have stunned the greatest minds in human history. And I believe I have made a fair sense of the drama called life. But still I have a terrible feeling that I have found nothing. All of my efforts, as well as of those who ever existed before me, are simply futile. What we have been trying to understand is so profound and strange that even a very first attempt to discover its secrets is ultimately meaningless. Reason itself is as pseudo and unrealistic as space. Like space, reason is a mere form or projection of its negation. Sense itself has really no sense. And, at last, if what I have just said therefore seems to be absurd then it does not have to be as all logic and logical implications are absurd.
At the heart of my metaphysic there is the ultimate question and at the heart of the universe there is the ultimate questioner.

  • The world is truly beautiful solely in the eyes of a true philosopher.
  • The world exists to let Man philosophize.
  • I know what the world exists for, but I know not how it came into existence. I see the design, but not the designer. I understand the question, but not the questioner.
  • The world is solely occupied by a questioner and a philosopher.
I know what the world exists for, but I know not how it came into existence. I see the design, but not the designer. I understand the question, but not the questioner.
  • God is a questioner; Man is a philosopher.
  • I speculate that this is the best of all possible worlds, for philosophy is the best of humanity, and this world is the best philosophically.
The world is a garden of philosophy. God is its gardener; Man is the visitor. And any tree that does not bear fruits of philosophy either does not belong to that garden or is yet to be grown.
