Audacious of you to assume that statement as "truth", when claiming as much is equivalent to you claiming that you possess knowledge.

That's not what mysticism means.
>philosophical taoism
Misapplication of a western term which is completely out of place in that tradition. The corresponding "essential belief" is also cringeworthy and has nothing to do with Taoism.
Terrible post.

so the only difference between the essential beliefs of 1 and 6 is that 1 holds that true knowledges is possible while 6 acknowledges that it’s impossible?

Want to advance to level 5?

You live. You exist. You can always die naturally or kill yourself, but after you do that it is debatable whether or not you can come back to life. So, since you were given a possibility to live, why not see where your life will take you? "Just for fun." Most of our life is almost entirely dependent on pure luck anyway.

That's what helped me. And, although there seems to be no meaning in life of an individual "life" still exists. You think, therefore your thought exists, therefore you exist. And just the fact that there is something(like you) instead of nothing already make one ponder "why?". So, following the previous sentence, I think there is a "purpose" to existence and that "purpose" is whatever you define it to be.

>we can create our own meanings
I think people who say this haven't thought it through. If you come up with let's say a candidate meaning of life, you'll always know it was your own creation: its artificiality, its contrivance, will always be there for you. It'll always be that excuse you came up with so you don't have to confront the void.
People who say this, I think, really see something more like, "Society has presented me with meanings-of-life A, B, C, and D. It looks like A is no good, so I guess I'll take C out for a spin."

I feel like I choose to keep living because there’s no point in dying. We’ll get there regardless, so it makes sense to live life as much as you can since death is infinite and life is limited and valuable. What you do with your life is ultimately inconsequential, though ideally you enjoy it.

Level 6. Anything higher would drive you far beyond being able to function in society. It's called noumena for a reason, we're not designed to understand it.

Existential philosophy is apolitical in this context.

>> No.14092931

>>14090710
6 only claims that true knowledge is impossible for us. In a way level 1 believes that as well through an all knowing god. Different sides of the same belief. 1 is just specific and therefore infinitely more likely to be incorrect.

One methodology is to seriously consider suicide as a part of your spectrum of choices you have every minute of your life. It's not just reserved for hard times.

>> No.14093038

>>14093012
Following that line of thinking then choosing to live in hard times should seriously be considered. Level 6 is understanding that neither option matters, but the arbitrary choice is yours. Is the pain lost or pleasure gained within the context of your life worth the decision you make?
