Cogito ergo...

Post by Lamagoodle »

The past two years or so, I have been consumed by what philosophers call “cogito ergo”. I ask myself whether I am an existing conscious being with a purpose to fulfil or simply a parenthesis in a void existence. The more I think about this issue, the more I feel trapped in the cogito itself; the proof that, I, Lamagoodle, exist as a mind with own thoughts and claim to know things.

My state of solipsism is eerily similar to schizophrenia and it is killing me slowly.

Sometimes, during episodes of my metaphysical solipsism, I engage in inner thoughts to discern the root causes of my mental quandary. The answers I get contain paradoxes; the tragic situation of our people as well as the moral decay of our people – giving me incubuses- and my rather lavish lifestyle (without any material and intellectual dearth) .

Any suggestions on how to escape this strange solitude of my self-inflicted schizophrenia? I know many of you would suggest a quran aqris/ duco (faith) as an antidote of my schizophrenic thoughts, but that puts me in a state of a new solipsism. Irrational religious explanations nurtures cogito and would possibly result in a never closing vicious cycle

Well Adeer I have the utmost respect for you, don't take this the wrong way. But it appears your Iman is very weak (if you are Muslim) Try to get closer to your Lord. You don't need quran saar. I have been there, and Alhamdulilah I am doing much better now. I still find hard to wake up for fajar prayer, bloody Satan still trying to bring me down. Anyway what you need is that inner light lid, and May Allah help you and guide you to the Siratul Mustaqiim.

Waa wareey, it's like you just asked me to look down a dark hole to no end in sight... I will get lost right alongside you my friend :lol:

In no means will I ever attemp to offer you the help u seek walalo...definitely not the kind of natural merriment required to pull u out of such condition. One who can reach such deep existential insight is as lost as only he can find himself...good luck dear :rose:

Lama, you need an advanced and experinced Suxul-baruur (gool) knowing how to nurture a tired AAR.

my favored cyber ader, I could just go and say it's midlife crises but I know it's deeper than that.

it's just stage you are at in your journey. been there done it. in times I thought I was loosing my mind cause I reached places in my brain is so scary.

I still think if may whole existence is just state of bacteria and all this is just my imaginations and I do not even exist the way I brain playing tricks on me. and I am just sleeping cell some where in this God's kingdom.

God knows what is good for me walle, a lot of things we think is bad is just right fit in our individual existence. I thought it was teenager hormones making me rebel on my own self and reject what I think is my soul.

I even read what we call " yellow pages books" how you train myself to get out my body as a soul to watch my "qolof" and laugh off it's stupidly.

do not spend too much in it. I read the whole existence is energy including our selves and every thing around us is still and we can move them by thinking of it/how haard we think of it.

Hyper, since the favorite cyber-adeer is apparently occupied by Lama, I am just wondering, is the one for the favorite cyber-awoowe still available? If it is, I would like to be considered for the position? I am a great awoowe by most people's estimation! Here is how some of my grand children describe me.

A funny, caring, and loving grand father.

The kind of granpa that every child dreams of.

Possibly, the greatest grandpa that ever lived.

Zulaika, thanks. Iga hoow :rose: . I need a company to the realms of the known. Ma ii raaci? Seriously, the dire situation of our people - and the lack of meaningful approach to change for the better has become my thinking points. Everywhere you go, the somali name is down for the count. Yet we have audacity to talk, laugh and interact like human beings. Everything about us is an empirical example of a people at the bottom of the ladder. Yet we think we are on top of it. The wadaads, the waables and even the waranle appears to be on the race to the bottom; Dantes peak.

When I was a student, I read Soren Kirkegard, Friedrich Nietzsche and the rest of the existentialism school. I never thought much about them. But as I grow older, I think they have a point.

Qalanjo, xusul baruur, cadar ka soo carfaayo, oo gurigeeda uunsi ka carfaayo waa laga yaabaa inaay daawo ii tahay. Laakin meeshaan DAYUUSBARAHA cadar iyo uunsi waa laga weeynaadey. Wax nuuris ah ma laha.

Xusul baruurtii la yaqaanay ma joogaan. Maalintaan arko xusul baruur cadar iyo uunsi ka soo carfaayo oo kub weyn intaan horteeda ku sajuudo Ayaan dhihi lahaa " Xusul baruur cadar iyo uunsi udgoon, inteed kuma maqneeyday beryahaan? Aniga dan baa i qarisee, adigu maxaa ku qariyey"? :lol:

Waaw. I never knew you were into existentialism.

Adeer, waagi hore middle aged crises soomaalidu ma marin jirin. When you turned 30, you married a dheeylo, same at 40, same at 50 etc.

My problem is not really about me. It is my context (our people).
