I'm guessing that you'd be wandering around the cruel streets at an even deeper level of unhappiness than you are now if the opposite (as in no roof, no bed, no food) was your status, No? _______ Absolutely, yes. What about it? Is survival all that matters? This isn't rocket science, Gary. ".....

To abide as being with no beginning and no end is unbroken consciousness and bliss. “The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical s...

What they want to do is tell you you can't figure it out because they can't. The energy is no you can't and I'm gonna stop you. But this is to be expected. Awakening is not a simple thing and there are many traps and hang ups on the path. The can’t is the block. In not knowing, everything is known. ...

It's used as a philosophical tool to highlight the limitations of proof in certain arguments. If one can accept that the world could have been created last Thursday with the appearance of age, it questions how confidently we can claim to know the true history of the universe.

Something, physical stuff, could simply existed at the beginning of time without a cause. The beginning of time is a 'thought'. There is no time where time began. There is no time when time ends. So what or who is conscious of 'thought' right now? That question cannot be answered, because there is ...

What a load of crap. Women are also not 'allowed' to make a sound in public. Apparently even their voices/laughs cause muslim men to get raging, uncontrollable erections and incite them to rape (if you believe that you will believe anything). Yes, I agree with you, it's a load of crap. It has nothi...

What is love? This can only be answered by the one who asks the question. The one who asks the question is the only one who creates it's own definition of what love is, and known via their own direct experience of LOVE itself. Love is a lot of things to all sorts of different people. For me persona...

As I have shared in the past, when you look into a mirror, that is not really you. That is only the temporary you. Looking, I am the ''looked upon'' - yes, a temporal you. What is ''Looking'' can only be revealed as an image in a mirror, magically appearing as an apparent duality, an image of the i...

Why do the so-called "theists" here believe and claim that God exists, while the so-called "atheists" here believe and claim that God does not exist, yet none of these people can inform absolutely anyone of who and/or what God even is, exactly? Also, some of these people refer t...

As of now this is what women in Afghanistan have to wear, as decreed by the Taliban leader (apparently he calls himself 'supreme'--what a surprise). This isn't religion. It's what happens when men get to express their extreme hatred for women freely. Afghan women are among the most beautiful in the...

You cannot capture reality and encapsulate it into a formal system because reality is infinite and so it will always escape any attempt to encapsulate it as it must, because reality is one thing, it is the self, and the self is capable of self-reference and when you're capable of self-reference this...
