No self theory do I get it right?

[Ceisiwr]

a man can have awareness but is too much into chemical abuses to notice importance to hold awareness. When being aware certain processes will stop, you need figure out by yourself how to make things happen otherwise what are done by chemicals.

making those claims that cells work purely on chemicals, you therefore don't see or know what awareness does or how human being is different from a cell.

take this Sutta,

https://suttacentral.net/sn10.1/en/sujato

Then the native spirit Indaka went up to the Buddha, and addressed him in verse: Atha kho indako yakkho yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“The Buddhas say that form is not the soul. “Rūpaṃ na jīvanti vadanti buddhā,

can you assume here that soul doesn't exist? no, you can't.

https://suttacentral.net/sn10.5/en/sujato

Now at that time a certain lay woman had a son named Sānu who had been possessed by a native spirit. Tena kho pana samayena aññatarissā upāsikāya sānu nāma putto yakkhena gahito hoti.

if spirits can possess then why can't there be certain mechanics for soul too..

When Sānu regains consciousness tell him Sānuṃ pabuddhaṃ vajjāsi,
this saying of the native spirits: yakkhānaṃ vacanaṃ idaṃ;
Don’t do bad deeds Mākāsi pāpakaṃ kammaṃ,
either openly or in secret. āvi vā yadi vā raho.

...

Then the native spirit Piyaṅkara’s Mother soothed her little child, saying: Atha kho piyaṅkaramātā yakkhinī puttakaṃ evaṃ tosesi:

“Don’t make a sound, Piyaṅkara! “Mā saddaṃ kari piyaṅkara,
A mendicant recites passages of the teaching. Bhikkhu dhammapadāni bhāsati;
..
Let us keep from harming living creatures, Pāṇesu ca saṃyamāmase,
..
and hopefully we’ll be freed from the goblin realm.” Api muccema pisācayoniyā”ti.

hmm,not harming living creatrues.. freed from goblin realm..

https://suttacentral.net/sn11.12/en/sujato

There the Buddha said to the mendicants: Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū etadavoca:

“Mendicants, in a former life, when Sakka was a human being, he was a brahmanical student named Magha. That’s why he’s called Maghavā. “sakko, bhikkhave, devānamindo pubbe manussabhūto samāno magho nāma māṇavo ahosi, tasmā maghavāti vuccati.

In a former life, when Sakka was a human being, he gave gifts in stronghold after stronghold. That’s why he’s called Purindada, the Stronghold-Giver.

In a former life, when Sakka was a human being, he gave gifts carefully. That’s why he’s called Sakka, the Careful.
…
Sakka’s wife is the demon maiden named Sujā. That’s why he’s called Sujampati, Sujā’s Husband.

Sakka rules as sovereign lord over the gods of the Thirty-Three. That’s why he’s called lord of gods.

In a former life, when Sakka was a human being, he undertook seven vows. And it was because of undertaking these that he achieved the status of Sakka...

so your deeds aren't wasted or vows you take or discipline you do..i mean see how you get the titles, status and names..how many names Buddha have and Buddha prolly is a status??

according to science cell is a living organism..not organism but unit. it doesn't even matter, you just are dumbly against spirituality and soul.

If cells react to light there are more than just form involved, there is also other khandhas. When you are capable to receive, it means feelings. Whatever will come conscious when there is nutriment.
Also there needs be cavity or womb to what can take consciosuenss in.

Good one, not sure if you were trying to be humorous, but it comes off a little funny.

The funny part is I didn't know it's a little funny as you mentioned. I still don't see the funny side really. I must be a pretty dumb guy.

You were looking for some kind of "soul" to explain "no self" or i.e. that there is no soul. How could a soul explain there is no soul?

Oh, I see what you mean now. Yes, kind of funny.

skin cells have consciousness, you feel when something touch your skin, you can also go to that organ consciosuenss and try to feel different things, like lets feel the clothes around me, or pressures what come from sitting etc.

why then plants can't have consciousness? that when light comes it start grow that way that it could get more light..

That’s “you” feeling, not the cells. Plants don’t feel as they lack any form of a central nervous system.

You were looking for some kind of "soul" to explain "no self" or i.e. that there is no soul. How could a soul explain there is no soul?

yes because there is a self- i am. It is indeed weird to think there is no self, when you are aware that you think about there is no self.

And that is the other part that is also kind of funny. Some who are very attached to the no-self doctrine argue vociferously in favor of the doctrine and appear upset at any opposition to their view, which shows a sign of asmi-mana and a self as they are attached to that. And so those on the opposing view say something like, if there is no self, who is doing all this arguing?

The traditional Buddhist position would be that it is a perceived, illusory self that is being created in the attachment to views (either side).

[cappuccino]

if there is no self, who is doing all this arguing?

it's a frustrating dream of being a person, on a forum

[Jerafreyr]

To ordinary people who are not engaged on the path to awakening I do not discuss whether or not there is a self because it is futile. To those who wish to develop changeless wisdom, to untangle the knot of views and to put an end to craving - they should understand there is no self. If there were a self there would be no end to dukkha because dukkha would be your self.

Hi again!

We, as a species, have built machines that can detect the changes in some specific parameter, such as light intensity, temperature, electric currents, movement, and so on. These machines are called sensors, and they work just by the application and use of the laws of physics.

In your opinion, do these machines have consciousness?
Do they have the other four khandhas (or at least one of them)?

Kind regards!
