Re: How did knowing God change you?
In what sense did you knoiw, or get to know God? How come you didn't know God before adolescence?Hobbes' Choice wrote:It transformed me from a thoughtful though reserved adolescent to a completely insufferable geek.
Thankfully it did not last long and I un-knew "god" in a year or two and resumed my thoughtful and inquisitive self towards adulthood.
I assume that you would know of God, so what made the difference > a special knowing?

Apparently you know nothing about Zen or God.sthitapragya wrote:Are you sayingReflex wrote:After ecstasy, the laundry. (Zen saying)

You are really demonstrating your ignorance of Zen, "Those who know, don't say, those who say, don't know ". - (Zen saying.)sthitapragya wrote: Because he doesn't talk about it with pride and that seems to be a requirement of higher self touching. You have to talk about it.

What would you expect to change in real life?sthitapragya wrote:Did it make you a better person? Calmer? More at peace? Did it give you the ability to love all mankind? Did it make you healthier? Did it make you richer? Did it improve your relationships with people? Did it take away your anger? Did it take away your anxieties? Did you develop skills? Did it make you more focused? Did it give you extra strength? More tenacity? Did it take away your frustrations? Do people respond better to you now? Did it make you more attractive to people? Did you get promotions you did not expect? Did it make you more successful? Does food taste better now? Does music mean more to you now? Do you appreciate your fellow men and women more now? Do you think of all men as being equal now?
What changed in real life after you found God?
