The indispensability argument says (roughly) that if you have ample reason to accept an empirical scientific theory that makes indispensable use of mathematics, and that theory entails that numbers exist, then you have ample reason to accept that numbers exist.

What is striking about this argument is that it seems to show that the empirical reasons that suffice for accepting a scientific theory also suffice for accepting a metaphysical claim.

The ego can exist only if you take yourself and everything seriously. Nothing kills the ego like playfulness, like laughter.

They may be trying to be humble, but they are very proud of their humbleness. They take their humbleness very seriously.

And if he doesn't exist I'll never die of a broken heart.

Think about how rare it is that you exist at all. Also think about time this way: If something exists, even for a second, then forever in the future that thing “existed”, and forever in the past that thing “was going to exist”.

Thus an open realm of perception like that of human existence is the one being that makes being possible.

Because I have assumed that goal of enlightenment exists, I have had to search. It is the search itself which has been choking me and keeping me out of my natural state.

I have been a damn fool all my life, searching for something which does not exist. My search is at an end.
