With all of these philosophomical questions goin' on 'round here and such, I thought it would be cool to post up questions that make you really think.

Like here's a good example: What would infinite clear look like?

I actually came up with a solution to that question a while ago: What you see in the back of your head. For instance, take your hand, place it on the back of your head, and describe your hand. Not from memory, but how you actually see it. That's infinite clear.

What? The brain crunchers, or the concept of infinite clear?

Well, seriously. Break it down. You'll figure it out! :P

1. Place hand on back of head
2. Describe hand the way you physically see it.

How do you see it?

Lift your hand and bring it back down with force while on the back of your head that should clear things up a bit.

There you go! You see only maybe 40% of what's around you. Can you describe the other 60%? The parts you don't physically see? Seriously, try to describe it. Not from memory, but physically describe it. I can say, "Sure, there's a table behind me. It's a nice cherry-wood." But that's a description from memory, it's not what I actually see (or don't see). That 60% void is what infinite clear would look like.

Is anyone understanding me?

Maybe. Are you saying that if you can't see it, it doesn't exist?

Well, while that is an interesting concept, is easily proven false. You can still prove its existence with your other senses.

All I'm offering is a description of infinite clear. It's the only way I know how to accurately describe it. True infinite nothingness. No color, no black, no white, no matter. A description of oblivion.

perfectly. I think.

Things that are real and exsist are around us all the time that we cannot see. Like the wind, or air, or just things that arnt in our line of sight, but they are there. and because we cannot see them but they still exsist, its infinitly clear, its there, but you cannot see any of it.

I think y'all are looking too deep into this. It's alot simpler than trying to comprehend nothingness's existance, just trying to comprehend nothingess itself.

Glad to see I'm provoking thought though.

On that note (or if you're tired of trying to figure out nothingness): If the most honest person in the world (never told a lie in his life, never made one false action) came up to you and said "I'm a liar," would he be a liar, or would he still be telling the truth now?

I made that one up, and I've only met one person who gave me a feasible answer.

Detrev, I actually had the same thought. But I was wondering what would an infinite line of windows look like if nothing was on the other side of all the windows.

I was going to offer that concept as a description, but I thought trying to physically describe your hand when it's on the back of your head was the closest possible description.
