    Ethics and the Faculties of the Soul

    Citation needed for you perhaps but not me. I practice Kriya yoga which is to live the physical subjective experience so any citation one way or the other is objective opinion of which I care not to partake. I’ve attached another Wiki link. Have a scroll down to Hindu revivalism and reception in...

    What Religion am I?

    This current reality, warts and all. For a Christian view, was Jesus not the son of god, god and man as one. He was both gods will (complete) and man made manifest and he co- created in his reality to remove imbalance and inequality in the world (his locality) through his free will thus...

    What Religion am I?

    No Brinny, as stated we are co- creators, big difference. Do you and I not co-create Brinny, here today. That does not mean that we are the creator, more the created-creating.

    What Religion am I?

    In reference to previous mentions of worship. We are co- creators, so any worship or lack of comes from what we create NOW and weather it is in line or within an equal and balanced framework of this physical existence, both within the body and beyond it. If your actions are equal and...

    What undermines your rejection of religion/faith?

    [ Interesting what you have said here, many individuals suffer from a fear of hell. The fear of hell creates hell. Don’t fear hell and it goes away. We create hell in life, life eternal. So I don’t reject religion just the doctrine that causes the psychological pain. The pain derives from the...

    Love for enemies

    People talk about love being the binding force that enables us to live harmoniously which it is but the more powerful force is forgiveness. To love another when times are good is easy to an extent, all things being equal a certain interaction can occur allowing life to thrive. But what when...

    Does the bible teach that there is a hell of eternal torment for unbelievers?

    Has anybody stopped to think of one death as metaphorical and one as literal. The second death is literal. Have a look at what spirit 1st has said to get a understanding (if not a bit subjective) of this. Life is eternal and heaven or hell is our creation based on our acceptance of the spirit...

    A psychological Approach to the Christ - an Outline

    My whole approach to what Jesus taught from the info we have available is purely from a psychoanalysis point of view. Jesus was the first psychologist roughly 1900 years ahead of his time. This presents a profound understanding of what he was trying to do in a time of conflict and he new that to...

    Pure Land Buddhism

    Yes I did get that vibe initially but I understand where you are at. Yes to my mind it's there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom/truth. Knowledge is an incremental thing (or not) based on many factors where as wisdom/truth is an internal presentation of a certain knowing gained...

    Unpardonable sin worries

    Sin = unbalance and inequality, that creates negative interconnection and relationship that leads to dysfunction and destruction, either within the body creating imbalance in the mind and cellular activity or outside of the body, or with imbalance with the interaction between you and the people...

    Pure Land Buddhism

    Please don't think I was being flippant with my comments regarding pill popping. The comment was aimed at healthcare systems in general which does not detract from the serious issue of depression. Quite an exhaustive list above Tariki, it's perhaps interesting to note that the last entry has no...

    Pure Land Buddhism

    There is certainly no cure all Tariki and certainly meditation does not fill that hole if that’s the desire. It is certainly a coping mechanism which the said studies perhaps do not highlight, in that to what degree did the mediation keep the life issues in check of the people in the...

    Pure Land Buddhism

    Hi Michael, Those unworthy attributes above in the verses are not something synonymous with any faith, certainly they can be applied by any individual of any faith but to direct that at the feet of pure land Buddhism is to stand in Judgement. Is there something that you would like to share...

    Salvation from the process (life) without investment in the process, why?

    From a historical perspective my knowledge is small regarding Christianity, so my question was in good faith. So I use other means to address within Christianity what I have found in other faiths. That said I do need to re-educate myself from a rebellious rejection of Christianity in my youth. I...

    Salvation from the process (life) without investment in the process, why?

    Indeed that is a big question. Perhaps it's the kingdom rather than our kingdom. That changed my perspective greatly.

    Salvation from the process (life) without investment in the process, why?

    In essence what I am saying is that why do you get to eat the cake unless you’ve baked it. So, was reincarnation once part of Christian teaching? Also what do non Christians think about reincarnation so not to limit the discussion. Not sure how much I can add other than the OP as time is...
