The difference is life and death. With spirit, you die. With substantialism you reincarnate into a normal living form without altering reality senses you feel on Earth. You reincarnate into a human that you were, while Buddhism sees it necessary to die, so you can reincarnate not in afterlife, but on Earth, maybe as an animal. But to become that animal you have to die, and forget who you were while you are an animal in your next life.<br /><br />In a substantialist forms, you reincarnate to a living you, but on another world like Earth, where all reality is normal, like on Earth, and you choose if you want to live a life on Earth, but not transcending into other forms where you are not fully you.<br /><br />The point of substantialism is that you remain fully you in afterlife, not spirit, not a form consistent with death to play part where you transcend elsewhere (as spirit). <br /><br />Since to you religion, be it Buddhism is ultimate spirit, not humanism and common realism, you do not understand substantialism, because you can't. But on my web page it is explained perfectly.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281154371181296475.post-20579921660095403092011-06-02T06:34:01.784-07:002011-06-02T06:34:01.784-07:00Readers interested in the relationship between Bud...Readers interested in the relationship between Buddhism and process philosophy may find the following, which is the first in a series of three posts on Buddhist mindfulness practice (especially Shinzen Young's version of it) and the process philosophy of Whitehead and Peirce, to be of interest:<br />http://blog.uvm.edu/aivakhiv/2011/05/30/what-a-bodymind-can-do-part-1/aihttp://blog.uvm.edu/aivakhiv/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281154371181296475.post-91927285303061790892009-12-07T17:38:56.547-08:002009-12-07T17:38:56.547-08:00You’ve started from a wrong principle when you sta...You’ve started from a wrong principle when you stand in equal stance the “process philosophy” and “substantialism”. The first one is immanent and the second is transcendent. You cannot compare different concepts in the way you did. Buddhism ― as Christianism does ― has an immanent dimension (Samsara) and a transcendent dimension (Nirvana); the immanent dimension has strong links to the quantum world, as well as the transcendent dimension could be linked to the quantum singularity. <br /><br />Furthermore, please note that evolutionism did not begin with Darwin; some <b>Christian</b> medieval scholastic philosophers and even Aristotle wrote about animal evolutionism in his “Metaphysics”. Even Anaximander (born 610 b.C.) stood with the theory that humans have evolved from other animals. However, “creationism is a myth as well as it is evolutionism, because it is impossible to explain the mutation of forms” (Eric Voegelin).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
