Providing Proof
I am told again and again by some people on this site that I have no proof for the theory of Substance, and that I must provide proof to be credible. For such people proof means “agreement from lot of people.” If the theory is new and not many people are aware of it to agree with it, then whatever proof you give them will never be satisfactory.
Such people have no understanding of the proof of what Newton and Einstein laid down in their theories. All they know is that lot of people agree with their theories so they must be right. In other words, their criterion of proof is,
AGREEMENT = PROOF
This is the same mindset as of people, who under the influence of Church believed that it is the Sun that goes around Earth, and anybody who contradicts it must be condemned. This is just mental conditioning.
Such people cannot think critically and cannot follow the mathematical or logical flow of the theory. They believe a theory only when it is published in a respectable journal. The chances are that theory is correct. But the point I am making is that such people have no clue of the “proof” even when it is staring at their face. If you try to explain your theory, it is all wrong because it contradicts what they fixedly believe.
So, when somebody asks for proof, it is best to tell him to study the theory. If they can’t do that, and don’t have anything intelligent to say, it is best to leave them to their devices, and move on.

I can see your point of view and Thank God you have it.Many people go to college and get huge doses of lies,believe it,along with misunderstoods and hang on to all this troublesome mass as a stable datum.Because of this they are indeed in need for some false data stripping! Of course we musn’t forget how the ego enters in to support the glowing s/fac and other rubble.The good side of things is that what you and others are revealing about oneness and the present moment is begining to strip many fixed ideas and bring back the individuals ability to reason and be with out matter or thought in a state of love without judgement…….the oneness in harmony and peace without the need of cause and effect.This IS what is in TRUTH!! Hallelujah! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Vinnaire.
